v Portsmouth (h) - 15/1/2025
bigbrandjohn replied to ...'s topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
It's a whopper to think we can still keep piling on the goodies. I am relishing it at the moment. Big Mak makes a difference when he is served up. Even if he was on the other side of the counter when he served up his special. Mr Eustace you doing wonders with the economy menu. I 'm loving it. -
January Transfer window

So the owners concept of not signing older players seems to have been ditched in favour of needs must. -
v Burnley (h) - 4/1/2025
bigbrandjohn replied to Adam C's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I agree. A big breakfast and a gallon of coffee and I feel more composed. We are a margins team. They have a supposedly premier league squad and parachute money. We didnt get battered 3-0. That ugly re signing didnt come on and break our hearts. One breakaway goal was the difference. We do need a proven goal scorer. Ironically we have two at Southampton and they lost 5-0 at home. I dont feel great but I have felt worse. Oh and we are justboutside the play off positions with a game in hand with a slim squad I would have taken that in August -

Shame we cocked up his paperwork. We could have had him a year ago and avoided the relegagion scaries. He and Hyam are brick #2 houses. -

LAG doesn’t have quite the ring to to it that SAS still has. -

This is not Cantwells half. Get some grit on. -

Fine win. Excellent dummy assist from Gueye 😉 He covered the pitch well. So many attacking options today. Some interesting selection problems for Eustace -

Great result. We keep waiting for rhe shoe to drop. It hasn't. How great is that. Win a few more over Christmas and our owners have a few decisions to make. Except their hands are tied until after the court case I believe. -

I expect another energetic performance from Dolan. Called me a skeptic but the term shop window comes to mind. -
v Middlesbrough (a) - 27/11/2024
bigbrandjohn replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Cantwell is such class. Yuki is so crisp with his passing but needs to get in the box more. A workmanlike performance. Solid in defence. A terrific result. -

Dirty git. VAR would have sorted him. Looks like he is injured now. Karma -
v Swansea City (h) - 19/10/2024
bigbrandjohn replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Good enough. Strikers need to look for passes. Yuki had a very good opportunity if Weimann had passed. Still a great result. Cantwell looking classy. Beck is very solid but a bit liable on a yellow. Three points. Points in the bag and we move on. -

Goal. by Gueye. Stop press. Beck is very very good. The position is his. -

Gueye better stop finger wagging at refs or it will be a long season without a main striker. Dolan creates chances only to blow them at the first opportunity. -
v Plymouth Argyle (a) - 5/10/2024
bigbrandjohn replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I only saw the lowlights not the game. This break is a time to re assess and take some risks. I would play JRC at right back and bin one of the centre backs. I would try the new goalie before the rot truly sets in. Pears made some good saves but was out of position for the second goal. We need someone between the sticks that commands confidence. I would play the Brighton lad on the wing and hook Hedges and drop Dolan and play Yuki deeper. I am all for a settled team until losing becomes unsettling. 👻 -
v Bristol City (h) - 14/9/2024
bigbrandjohn replied to philipl's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I agree on Dolan. Outstanding run and totally weighted unselfish pass. He knows there is competition and he can be the playmaker for the strikers. Sammie said that JDT was the better strategist and Eustace the better man manager. Culture eats strategy for breakfast. Look at Travis. 👊 -

JDT shipped Travis and dropped Wharton. 🤔 -
It must be true. I read it in the Scottish Sun😉 If he has been spotted touring the facilities then I would assume he hasn’t taken the weekend off to take the missus for a romantic weekend to the “Hoose” https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/rangers/latest-rangers-news/blackburn-captain-spotted-at-rangers-training-ground-as-philippe-clement-remains-coy-on-transfers-4754650

I don’t get it. Eustace gives Travis the arm around the shoulder and makes him captain. Now apparently he is off to Rangers presumably as a make weight for their winger. Not smart to yank your captain at the start of the season. Whatever people think of him, he has started well and another Rovers man through and through.
