  1. I’m quite looking forward to seeing him with more game time. He looked very quick when he came on, despite the fact he wasn’t on for very long. He reminds me of Chapman in a way, for his pace.
  2. The club threw in the Bournemouth game if I remember rightly, when played them a few years back. We lost and the stadium was empty for the game against the Cherries.
  3. I thought it was too! We played very well last night though, after a shaky start. As soon as their equaliser went in, I did wonder whether a repeat of Southend was on the cards, but after we got our noses back in front, we were a joy to watch and should have scored far more than we did. We were a lot more physical last night too, which shows we've learnt from Saturday. Looking at those who caught my eye last night: Caddis- excellent going forward, providing a real threat down the wing and solid defensively. He needs to start on Saturday. Raya- excellent saves again, before our second went on. If he sorts his kicking out, he'll go in January for big money. Ward- clumsy again and probably would have been moved on now if the options had been there, in the window. Chapman- looks dangerous with the pace he's got, which many backlines in League 1 will struggle with. He's another who needs to start. Gladwin- looks good technically, and didn't mind getting stuck in when he came on. He might be a better player than Evans, but it's hard to judge based on 2 games. Overall- well worth the money I spent going down there, and well done Tony Mowbray for picking a strong 11. He obviously recognises the need for them to have the match time together, in order the jel. I just hope we can transfer the majority of that performance to our first home game, on Saturday.
  4. Be honest, who did everyone really expect? I'm just glad that Coyle's gone. He's in a difficult position, and I get the feeling that with the 18 month deal, they sense that relegation is more than likely, hence why he's got next season too. He's got my support though- I just hope he can sign some players. As as I feel slightly optimistic, I can see myself buying a ticket when I get paid now. #COYB Tony Mowbray's Blue and White Army!
  5. Back on topic, I think it looks a right mess. I can't imagine anyone sat further back in the Riverside will be pleased either, as they wont be able to see the game. I agree I mentioned this a while back but I don't think anyone took much notice.
  6. The Man from U.N.C.L.E. I'm not usually a big film person, but I enjoyed this a lot. The film is set during the 'Cold War' era, with secret service agents from the U.S. and U.S.S.R., being forced to work together by their organisations. They are attempting to stop a nuclear bomb from being set off. As you could probably guess, there are many moments during the film, in which the two agents clash over how best to deal with a problem. It's quite light hearted too.... Well worth a watch if you get chance!
  7. Who reports these stories and who in the right mind would want to break this to the reporters from the press office.
  8. common lads, lets make ewood the noisest loudest ground in the country again. We cannot allow ourself to become silent like most other grounds around the country nor can we dwell on the loss of our drummer. It's time now to start raise the roof and start making Ewood the loudest ground in the country again. We have to try to get people in the Jack Walker to start singing as well.

  11. Do any of you supporting souness remember him coming back to Ewood with barcode united?? He got abuse thrown at him when shown on the big screen at Ewood. Unless you where clapping him
  12. No - I'm not mental, just realistic - if we had gone down again it would have been the end of Rovers as a Premiership force. JW spent enough time with the board and Trustees convincing them to keep their squad together for the second season in the first division and they would not have put up with another relegation without selling to an inferior financial operation or pulling the plug. You should realise just how lucky you are - or perhaps you were not there in the dark days of the third division.
  13. Oh come on Vinjay - how much are you going to put in then?
  14. No - he nearly killed the club - squad value was nil when he left - it must be £50m now. Silverware wise okay - but anyone can buy success. Hughes nearly did it without any cash at all so to speak.
  15. Sukis Darwen best indian in Darewn by far
