v Norwich City (h) - 1/3/2025
bigbrandjohn replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I am sure Dennis will gift Weimann half his wages for getting Rovers out of jail. An expensive late panic signing who flatters to deceive As far as signings go Weimann is a bargain. Forshaw a poor make weight. Glad Trondstadt is back. -

Cantwell v Norwich will be an interesting one to watch -

Valérien Ismaël: Blackburn Rovers Head Coach
bigbrandjohn replied to DE.'s topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
One thing is for sure. After wasting hours trawling through new manager clickbait, I am feeling like a schoolboy waiting for the sweet shop to open on Saturday. Hope I am not disappointed, as they have run out of gobstoppers. -
Valérien Ismaël: Blackburn Rovers Head Coach
bigbrandjohn replied to DE.'s topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Well let's see how this spoonful of medicine goes down. I think Cantwell will lap it up 😉 "New Rovers boss Valerien Ismael has strict rules that he wants his squad to adhere to during his time with Rovers" Rovers.co.uk -
Valérien Ismaël: Blackburn Rovers Head Coach
bigbrandjohn replied to DE.'s topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Aparently he is a disiplinarian. All I hope he doesnt throw his weight around and upset the karma of the team spirit. Interesting to see what happens to Dennis and him. As far as the style of play is concerned if we get to the play offs he can play 10 men in defence. It works well for our noisy neighbors. -
I think they should go for you 👊😉. Fine choice.

We could have had the legend that is Barry Ferguson https://www.bbc.com/sport/football

I agree. Wasn't it a few seasons ago Venkys were offering 1 million pounds a player for promotion? Or was it a chicken at Christmas?

It was bad but then the Chelsea goalkeeper was really bad. -

Probably needed a reality check. Forces the brains trust to make a decision early next week. I bet they hoped we would win this. They could have announced Lowe until the end of the season, and then Gerrard once the tax year is over. -

And he has mot controlled it well. Dennis looks too sexy for his shirt. -

Not the game for Gueye. One dimensional. Need a runner up front. -
If it is a Happy Monday announcement hope it is a Step On from Eustace

Why see the wonderful facilities at Brockhall when you can have a sumptious lunch at the Savoy in relative seclusion? So much easier to pull the wool over a hungry manager's eyes. You can see why the dream team choose Fockhall over Brockhall.

And coming up fast on the inside rail wearing blinkers is Steve Gerrard?

Our dilemma is a simple one. The shackles are off. Players are enjoying their game under a nice uncomplicated manager who has a good football brain and no pretensions. Anyone new will want to assert themselves. Thats how it works in business and sport. Nobody comes in and says, it is all fine as it is. Otherwise why would they be hired? I worry about a new manager's preconditioned style of play and their need to assert themselves. This could cause tension in the ranks and undo the good work of previous games. I hope the new manager listens to Professor Lowe and lets things flow. We are in a solid play off position with the team playing for each other. I also hope the board takes its time choosing a new manager. That's our best chance of the feel good factor continuing and the points continuing to accrue.

v Plymouth Argyle (h) - 15/2/2025
bigbrandjohn replied to philipl's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Yes The Professor waved his wand today and magic happened. 🪄 So I guess that result means we are better than Liverpool. 🤔 I wonder whether King Kenny was putting in a good word for Gerrard? 👂 Fine result, composed play and avoided a banana skin. 🍌 We are right in the play off mixer. I hope a new manager doesn't impose his rigid thinking on something that is working beautifully at the moment. 🕺 -

Maybe The Professor is weaving his psychology to play Forshaw against Plymouth. He will want to play his pants off The Professor will bring Buckley on later. -
The two foreign ones are in India 😆

v WBA (a) - 12/2/2025
bigbrandjohn replied to TheRevAshton's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Probably the best result this season. Outstanding tactics from "Professor" Lowe. I really liked the way he connected with his bench rather than sit in the boss's chair Gueye has shown his potential. The heatmap doesn't lie, he was everywhere, and his finishing was immaculate. Players played their hearts out and our fans were magnificent. The result was crucial for us in the race for the playoffs oh and we stuffed: Mowbray Armstrong Eustace West Brom home form Arte et Labore 👊👊 -

Classy of Travis to shake the hands of all the mascots as well as opponents. He will get his reward tonight.
