    Batth has had 9 appearances in a miss firing Norwich defence so we got lucky with that one.

    They've conceded less goals than us but that isn't really the point.

    As 47er says we need experience in this squad, he would have brought that, but our owners know better and continue to meddle in 1st team affairs.

    But surely its experience we are lacking? JDT has referred to that himself. More L Plates are not the answer.

    I don't disagree, JDT tried to bring in the experienced Danny Batth on a free from Sunderland in the summer, but the owners refused because of his age, he went to Norwich instead.

    With Venkys extensive footballing knowledge it seems that rule extends to loan signings too, thankfully we are in good hands, what wonderful owners we have 🙄

    I always look forward to the FA cup. Hoping we see a win and good overall team performance.

    Bought my and missus tickets yesterday. 

     

    When push comes to shove its all about supporting Blackburn Rovers the football team, not spending hour after hour sat in an armchair on the internet slagging of people in suits many have never met (I'm guilty too).

    As Ossy says above, enjoy the game, after all this is what its all about isn't it?

  4. I've calmed down a bit since yesterday on the Travis departure, now we have a few more of the facts.

    Its seems like JDT has sanctioned the move unlike the Buckley debacle and Travis wants out to play regular football and nothing wrong with that.

    Broughton has a very good record spotting players in my opinion, lets hope the 2 new lads are as good and help maintain our Championship status.

    The big part of the reason we bounced back from league one last time was the experience of Mulgrew, Graham, Smallwood, Downing, Conway, Bennett plus buying the leagues best player in Dack.

    If we were to go down in the next two years I’d worry more about doing a double drop than bouncing back.

    You forgot about Mowbray?

    The series about the scandal of the postmasters and postmistresses with the always excellent Toby Jones is worth watching. “ Mr Bates versus the Post Office “ on ITV at 9.00 pm.

    Watched 3 episodes so far and I’m sat here fuming. What a bunch of arseholes, ruined lives and couldn’t bloody care less.

    Broughton has to go for me. The summer recruitment has been as bad as I can remember. Most of those signings are playing a division or two above their ability level. What a shocker.

    He had no budget, they pulled all funds in the summer. He couldn’t even sign Bath on a free transfer from Sunderland, the experience we are crying out for.

    Not sure why you ask that but I'll answer anyway, last month...why?

    Which game? 

    The reason for asking is you seem to be an expert on current player fitness, something you’d only know about if you actually  attended games regularly in my opinion. Watching them tracking back against Watford especially was telling and the games are coming thick and fast.

    It’s not the only reason the side is struggling, but it’s one major factor for me, these players are running on empty, the side is lacking quality too, due to the owners pulling the budget in the summer and we are where we are. 

    Im surprised anyone is shocked to be frank.

  9. I’ve been watching a 9 part documentary on The Vietnam War on sky documentary.

    Harrowing, controversial, dirty politics, murder, just fascinating, a must watch if you have an interest in history and war.

  10. Happy New Year everyone. 

    Lovely day here in South Yorkshire, in stark contrast to the trip over for the Watford game which was biblical even by M62 standards. 

    Rovers are really struggling right now due to injuries and shear number of games played, in an ideal world we'd be resting players right now, but the owners have cut the staff to the bone and we wee again with the willy we've got.

    Rotherham have picked up of late under Leam Richardson so this won't be an easy game, but to send the doom mongers back into the shadows I'm going for a Rovers win.

    Blackburn Rovers 2 Rotherham 0

    Come on you super blues!
