Attendances: A cause for concern
Ossydave replied to SIMON GARNERS 194's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
On the flipside, how many extra season tickets would sell with a new manager in place? Not many I'd imagine. The 'fan' base is stale as anything and people simply aren't arsed. Opposition fans singing "your grounds too big for you" and "your support is effin shite" have a solid point. These mythical thousands people are hoping exist, don't. I want Mowbray gone as much as most do, he is however just the lead clown in this circus that stinks to high heaven. -
Premier League season 21/22
Ossydave replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Yep my thoughts exactly. I think they may well go down after last night. I also don't think they'd bounce back up either, so many poor players, half of whom weren't cheap either, I mean who the hell signed the cheque off for Iwobi? I'd be getting shut of Lampard and sending out an SOS to a manager with experience of a dogfight today. -
Annoyingly he's the best defender we own too, just seemingly got a total disregard for those paying his wages

In name only, the weather is absolutely trash and shows no sign of changing any time soon. Although we were supposed to be getting a heatwave in April 🤷

We've gone from stock piling midfielders to being pretty thin on the ground.... I expect most of our business will be loan deals, although in fairness we've done pretty well in the past few seasons on that front. Maybe 2 permanent signings. All depends on the Brereton situation though. I'd be delighted if we could tie Lenihan down. Not particularly arsed about Rothwell going now, Nyambe I can live with providing we sort a decent replacement. Ideal scenario would be Mowbray saying his goodbyes last game of the season and we get a new man in ASAP so he can hopefully bring a few new faces in. I would however be surprised if this happens....IF he goes we'll no doubt dawdle and get someone in a day before the new season kicks off. If he signs a new contract, well actually I don't even want to think about that scenario 😪

v Coventry City (a) - 2/4/22

They might, but will they actually spend it? They've been reluctant to do so in the prem for the most part, which may well finally catch up with them this time. -

Pickering had a bad game, but do you think he's a poor player? I think he's been a good signing. Zeefuik may well stay, but we need assurances he's not a crock first 😕 -

Referee isn't to blame, we were play acting/time wasting and karma bit us I'm afraid. -
v Coventry City (a) - 2/4/22
Ossydave replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I've see a few people say this. You do realise they'll lose half their team at the end of the season, all the decent players? Their only hope is keeping hold of Weghorst who'll most likely do a Mitrovic and score a load if he stays. Utterly deflated after another late goal, although I half expected it 😔 We looked like the Rovers from the first half of the season second half and Dacky and Diaz starting (hopefully) could still make a difference, all hope isn't lost just yet. A lethargic/injured Nyambe cost us the game. -

Ossydave replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I haven't seen us win away all season, I'm going today, surely the laws of averages mean a win at some point - I've never been a full season without at least 1 away win I don't think 😕 I accept no responsibility if we balls things up again though.... -
World Cup Play Offs

Usual easy group then, it's coming home songs aplenty then flop when it gets to the later stages 🤔 -

Rothwell has also been shite since January incidentally. Not sure I'd drop him but he needs a rocket up his backside. -

v Coventry City (a) - 2/4/22
Ossydave replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Coventry are in pretty dire form as well as us apart from that freak win vs Sheff Utd when they battered them...Good luck to anyone attempting a prediction for this! Looking forward to it personally. A new ground to tick off the list, many beers and some proper (hopefully) football. The line up obviously depends on a number of injury concerns but it must surely be time for Dack to start? As a side note - did anyone go to Coventry away early 90's, think it was the last away game of the season a night game? Still one of my favourite away days although we got beat. Many rovers were in fancy dress, remember batman and robin going on the pitch when we scored an equaliser at one point 😆 -
He's probably early himself a place on the bench on Saturday if we're being honest. He looked like he stretched a bit when scoring, he's a young boy and he needs to learn to let his body recover (said in my best Mowbray voice).
-
How's it clear he wasn't fit? Its almost 2 weeks since OUR last game, things change over that period of time. I didn't watch their game but it doesn't sound like he was off the pace from the reports I've seen. If he'd broken down after 10 minutes then yes, he was clearly unfit, but he didn't.

Bit sad some of the bitterness towards Chile, who have without a doubt contributed towards the success Brereton has had this season. If we want to see him back in OUR first team he obviously needs some minutes under his belt, there's no u23 games till next Monday. Obviously it would be much more ideal if he'd done that in Bromley Cross rather than Chile but it is what it is, rest up on a flight home. Doubt he'll start at weekend but should make the bench at least. Such a shame Ben won't make an appearance in the world cup finals this time round to complete the fairytale but at least age is on his side.

He doesn't know the meaning of the word tired

The State of Ewood Park!
Ossydave replied to A Northern Horde...'s topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Oh and I did notice the club tweeting about current vacancies, one being a maintenance operative. There's a few things listed in the job description that COULD in theory help make the place look a bit better.... -
The State of Ewood Park!
Ossydave replied to A Northern Horde...'s topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I'd be making the lower Darwen End standing. No season ticket holders to upset for starters. If the uptake isn't that great split it down the middle for away fans who pretty much want to stand regardless. The banter with away fans used to be decent although there's obviously more effort required from a stewarding/policing perspective which they won't like. -
So Van Hecke, Khadra and Lenihan all crocked in this international break, is it any wonder I frigging hate them. Not excuse making but surely we've had the worst luck with injuries in the bloody league this season, not to mention having to get to this stage without probably our best player till his recent sub appearances. On that note, surely he's OK to start on Saturday after he had another 90 minutes for the u23s?

World Cup Play Offs
Ossydave replied to Nuttall is lost's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Maybe so but a world cup, for me, is a traditional summer event either down the pub with pals or followed by a barbecue. I personally can't get excited for this one at all. Maybe it's just me. -
So they got thumped 4-0 off Brazil, but Peru also lost. So basically a 3 way fight between Peru/Chile/Colombia for the play off spot is that right? When would the play off games take place IF they got a place I wonder?

World Cup Play Offs
Ossydave replied to Nuttall is lost's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Those 2 missed penalties by Jorginho ultimately cost Italy. We know all about the impact of missed penalties lately ourselves 😒 I wouldn't even be arsed about missing that joke of a world cup to be honest. -
St Georges Day, Preston v Rovers then the Fury fight at night - police obviously won't fancy that. Monday night with a much depleted following it is then - shite.
