v Everton (h) - 19/7/25 - pre-season friendly
Exiled_Rover replied to arbitro's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
GK is Michalski - highly thought of. Went on loan to Bamber Bridge and City of Liverpool (who?!) last year. He's 18. #8 is Mullarkey-Matthews - who I know nothing about. Hasn't even played for the U21s yet. No idea how old he is, but he's a RB who went on loan to Bamber Bridge last season it seems. -

No, but I was thinking "if he's running out for us this season we're in big trouble". Didn't say he couldn't develop into something, but he's miles off the standard right now. -

He looks calm and composed - has drawn a foul and turned his man in the 20-30 minutes he's been on. There's something there for sure. The game has passed Montgomery by since he moved to CM, which is what I thought would happen considering his pedigree. #8 (the double barrelled named lad) is miles off the standard, sadly. -

He's quicker than Ohashi. -

Brought all three CBs on now and moved Montgomery to CM. -

I think they said 8. Gueye, Kargbo, Pickering, Tyjon, GK (whatever he's called), CB, someone for Hedges (double barrel named lad maybe?) - which is 7. Edit - Montgomery. 8. -

I mean there's a good chance he probably is... -

Whisper it quietly, but Toth looks like a competent GK. -

I'm not having that they're "a week behind". They've played as many games as we have. -

I'll let you know when I've seen the new lad play. I like Brittain, but he's not a quick FB - nor is he a great defender. He gets exposed at times. Maybe the new lad offers us a different option? -

He's a decent player - has a big mistake in him each game, but he's committed to the cause. -

Exiled_Rover replied to arbitro's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He might want workrate and pressing, but it completely neuters you when your CF doesn't win headers, hold the ball up or run in behind. We can't pass through everyone. Edit: Hedge is also a high work rate, pressing player - but he's shit at scoring or creating goals. -
150th Anniversary kit/celebrations
Exiled_Rover replied to Proudtobeblue&white's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Think it's alright to be honest. I still think every one of our kits should be quartered - but that's marketing and we simply don't do that at Ewood Park. -

Exiled_Rover replied to arbitro's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I thought we had the balance perfect at the start of last year - Gueye starts the match then Ohashi comes on from the 70th minute onwards and nips in against tired legs. Somehow he's the starter now - I just don't see him do enough to warrant it (and I do actually like him as a player, but he's a Solskjaer). -

Then he should be running the channels and making the oafs work. -
2025 Summer Transfer Thread. 😂
Exiled_Rover replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He was always useful there - in the final third running at a FB who is on his heels. It's the rest of the stuff he's crap at - tracking back, holding the ball up, marking his man, running with his man, running in behind. Comfortably gave away more goals than he created last year. -

Exiled_Rover replied to arbitro's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
It's only one in-swinging corner, but it was a good one. If that's his standard then he's worth a place on the team sheet just for that. As long as he continues working hard covering ground on the wing of course. -

Ohashi still not providing enough from CF. Fantastic finisher (for our level) but he has to offer more. Their CBs are playing with their slippers on. -

Exiled_Rover replied to arbitro's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He's a CB that's just played a blind pass back to his GK. He does it all the time. -

Nasty tackle on Travis which of course "they don't mind". -

Tell you what that's a good corner from De Neve - left footed in-swinger. -

Wharton in mid-season suicide ball playing form. How is his brother so good on the ball when he's so bad on it?! -

Exiled_Rover replied to arbitro's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I think he looks useful - he's got up and down the flank well, obviously scored a goal and given his FB an intelligent out ball every time. Haven't seen him take a man on yet, but he's not really had the opportunity to. -

Hedges playing a lofted ball into the centre of the field from RB. Get the fuck out of my club you absolute moron. -

Unsurprisingly the Everton commentators are whiny little bitches.
