What’s horrible about that?

Salford v Portsmouth. Fan split will be like Charlton/Rovers in ‘87.

Ha! That’s even more random.

Off... waterlogged pitch https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2020/february/burnley-pl-cup-clash-postponed/ And Blackburn Rovers are playing Burnley in... Morecambe, because?

One time we did in 2001 (?) it was a sell out against Greece.

He probably is thought more highly of than Steele (‘kin ell he should be), but obviously Steele is an English squad filler for quota purposes and just needs to turn up at the training ground every day, whilst they want Walton playing. But it’s a bit of a stretch to say he’s suddenly going to be first choice in an elite league after three steady, if not exactly spectacular seasons on loan with us and Wigan in the Championship and League 1.

Under 21s? I believe you have to be 21 or under at the start of the qualification cycle - Euro 2021 qualifying began in March 2019 and Lewis was at that time... 21

Not saying he isn’t a decent keeper or that he hasn’t improved. I’m saying he won’t be first choice in the Premier League or Bundesliga next season. (Feel free to dredge this post up in August if he’s the main man at Werder Bremen, or wherever. )

Yeah around this figure, from memory that’s what I remember it being for that mad scramble for relegation day tickets...

Only 100 tickets left (1650 allocation). Another cracking following, especially as it’s on Sky and back to back with another well attended London game

He’s a decent Championship keeper, bit I’m pretty sure he’s not going to be playing as a first choice in a top European league in 6 months time. He was never as bad as the ‘send him back to Brighton’ crew were making out earlier in the season, but I think a few are now getting carried away the other way.

Behave chaddy! Why would Brighton’s 4th choice keeper end up as number 1 in the PL or Bundesliga?!

‘Colossus’

I personally would’ve had the bundle kicking in after the Stoke game.

It isn’t though is it, with two home games against Stoke and Swansea following. Bristol City and PNE both lost at home at the weekend after cracking away wins... owt can still happen - it’s February!

I only CARE about Rovers, which means I often don’t enjoy a lot of the 90 minutes. Hull game as an example, I only started enjoying it when we got the second and third goals in quick succession. I did then enjoy the end of game celebrations, the walk to the car, the checking of the table, the highlights, the match report etc etc

The Mighty Dacks

To be fair, they aren’t a ‘west London’ glamour/fashionable club like Chelsea, or even to a lesser extent, Fulham. They are on the fringes of the urban sprawl towards Hounslow and Heathrow and have been lower league plodders for almost their entire history. They are getting plaudits because they a quality Championship side doing things differently.

We are known as ‘Dackburn Rovers’ throughout the game, supposedly. I’ve literally never heard that Nice segway into an article, I suppose... https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/18241454.mowbrays-men-dispelling-dackburn-rovers-tag/

Be it Nyambe, Buckley or others that I can’t remember, it’s noticeable how much work (and extra work) Damien Johnson is doing with the younger players and the improvement we are seeing...

You’d be better just getting a taxi to Preston/Manchester if there’s usually a few of you...

As I’ve said, bit of a lack respect from you that 17th, when he’s trying to ‘change the way we play’ as you constantly go on about is a sackable offence! Not much patience and belief in Tony, have you! I’ve singled you out as you agreed with the article that talked about how daft fans are that wanted him out when he has transformed the club. How we should be able to see the progression. It’s fine you’ve changed your mind, but you can’t then pretend you’ve been ‘behind him every season’, and have known he was going to keep improving things, you obviously haven’t if you wanted him sacked earlier this campaign.

All fair points Dreams. But I just can’t be doing with the hypocrisy of certain posters who now laud the man as transformative for the club and act as if they’ve been bought in to the ‘project’, ‘the journey’, ‘the progression’ for 3 years, when they wanted him gone literally weeks ago.

Well obviously you don’t want him out now! But you didn’t have much loyalty to him and appreciate the job he’s doing just two months ago Lets hope we don’t go on another bad run, as your pitchfork will be back out! Fickle.

Some appreciation!
