Slightly concerned he's injured himself though. -

Gosling on for Watford - sounds like they've switched to 4 at the back. -

Their lad punched Travis, right? -

Not sure he's fit. He's been out of the team since he got knocked out. -

Disappointed with 3 at the back. Clearly JDT is trying to hold out for a draw tonight. -

Bristol City beat us 3-2 and 2 of those goals were sucker-punches. -

Super League haven't cancelled their fixtures either - but then they've got a hard and fast deadline to get the games in before the World Cup. -

You've lost two days of the Test match at that point. Just reschedule it. -
Jon Dahl Tomasson - Sweden coach

Tell you what, let Rovers spend hundreds of millions every transfer window and we'd be in decent shape too. -

Didn't have to move house, but it got him out of his comfort zone. Yeah, alright Ryan. I believe you. -

Why do Burnley keep on playing on Fridays?! -

I don't think that's the case at all. Most fans I come across travel in from the surrounding area. -
Jon Dahl Tomasson - Sweden coach
Exiled_Rover replied to Tom's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Just more positives about JDT for me. He quickly saw that Butterworth wasn't up to snuff (didn't even give him a squad number) and after 45 minutes he's seen the same with JRC too (tried to loan him out on deadline day). He clearly knows what it's meant to look like. Edun next I hope. -

JRC is as unathletic as Pickering - he can't get up and down the flank too. Whenever he's looked passable playing FB / WB is against teams that have literally camped just outside their 18 yard box and invited us on them. I don't think it's fair on Buckley to ask him to play WB either. -

Exiled_Rover replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He had a hard time because for as good as Wharton was on Wednesday he was equally as bad on Saturday. Whether he was knackered from his exertions against Blackpool or the situation overawed him (home debut at his boyhood club) I don't know, but he needed taking off at half time. -

Exiled_Rover replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Why is everyone obsessed with playing 3 at the back when we only have 1 WB in our squad... and he's currently injured. Pickering gets murdered at this level being asked to patrol an entire flank on his own - he simply can't get up and down (so he picks staying back). -
v Bristol City (h) - 3/9/22
Exiled_Rover replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
This obsession with playing Brereton central is weird. Every time he's played there he's been bullied by big Championship CBs. His best attributes are his workrate and his ability to carry the ball - ignore the fact that he's 6'3" and looks like he could handle the rough stuff. He can't. He's scored 4 in 8 drifting in from the left - he's incredibly difficult to pick up from that position and it works for him. The hope is that Hirst grabs the opportunity to play #9 with both hands and provides our attack with more bite. -
v Bristol City (h) - 3/9/22
Exiled_Rover replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
We scored twice against them and, bar a few last ditch tackles / unlucky ricochets, could have scored many more. They're a good, solid, mid-table Championship side. I aspire to be better - or at least more entertaining (I thought they were dull af to watch). -
Transfer Window - COMPLETE. Where’s Gregg?
Exiled_Rover replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Morton is a good player at this level - he's clearly finding his feet. I assume you're talking about Buckley as being inexperienced in the deep role? I don't see that, personally - it's his natural position. -
Unfortunately we're in the second tier of football. If you want players in our price bracket that are consistent then you're stuck with the Bennetts and Evans' of the world.

Exiled_Rover replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
His first choice was Colak, we all know that. Broughton is just playing the game with that comment. I thought Hirst looked like a good player today, just needs some time to bed in. He provides us something different upfront. -
v Bristol City (h) - 3/9/22
Exiled_Rover replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
They won't make the Playoffs. They're a big, physical (which is never pulled up), organised side that has some pace upfront and is good at set pieces. They hit us with two sucker-punches today - JDT will be disappointed with that. -
v Bristol City (h) - 3/9/22
Exiled_Rover replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He's fit enough to run out for the U21s and during cup matches, but not in the league. I wonder if JDT just doesn't fancy him? -

Exiled_Rover replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I thought Hirst showed promise today - squared two balls that should have been scored from. Obviously he snatched at the one chance he got himself. It'll take time for his teammates to understand the runs he makes - he very much looked like a guy who met his new teammates on Thursday. The CB he signed during the week I think has been signed to play LB. He'll eventually displace Pickering if he's got anything about him (playing through all the England age groups suggests he does).
