v Watford (a) - 27/8/23

Poor so far. Both teams bang average. The guy from Udinese looks class for them. -

Why? Has Buckley ever had a good 90 mins? -

Leonard will be a good player, no doubt about that. I don't think he's quite ready though. Hedges is decent as a back up but his final ball is a bit wasteful. He's significantly better than Markanday though. Dolan is just woeful. -

Decent line up but the front 3 is average at best. Not sure where the goals come from. Don't think Watford are much cop this season though. They've gone down a couple of levels over the summer. Home advantage will probably edge it in their favour. 2-1. -
v Hull City (H) - 19/08/2023
rovers11 replied to Polky's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
That hurt. We just ran out of legs and concentration in the end which was always likely when playing with 10 men for the whole game. Pickering deservedly sent off. Poor defending from a poor player. Very disappointing result in what was a very winnable game before kick off. Watford away next feels like another loss. Hull have had a decent window - Delap, Twine, and Connolly are all decent signings. They've improved from last season and we're weaker. -
v Rotherham (a) - 12/08/2023
rovers11 replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Delighted with that result. We should have won it in the end but, equally, if Rotherham hadn't had a man sent off then we'd be sitting here with a loss, so I'll take a draw. The subs made all the difference. JRC showed that he's too talented to be playing at RB, Hedges was excellent when he came on and is underrated imo, and Britain added a lot of spark at RB. Ennis is some player. We have a bargain there, no doubt about that. Well done to the recruitment team on picking him up on a free. You can see he's a lacking a little sharpness in front of goal but he has all the tools needed to be a top championship striker. Szmodics had a terrible yet brilliant game in equal measures but he's established himself as one of our best players after a slow start to life here.pp Said it last week and I'll say it again after today, Dolan and Markanday are league 1 players unfortunately. We need better quality than what they offer. Last season I think we would have lost that game after going a goal behind, even with 10 men, so that's definitely progress. We have a good team again this year but only an OK squad. Work to do to in the transfer market -

Sir Ennis, that was brilliant -

Dolan and Markanday are not up to the level we need imo. -

Game over. Same story as last season. Good at home, poor away. -

Gone downhill since the penalty miss. Szmodics has had a shocker. -

Good starting 11 and Rotherham have a few injuries so we have a good chance of winning this one. -
v Walsall (h) - 8/8/23 - Carabao Cup R1
rovers11 replied to Oldgregg86's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Ennis looks to have a bit about him. Promising signs. -
v West Bromwich Albion (H) - 05/08/2023
rovers11 replied to Polky's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Brilliant win with an understrength team. We have a player on our hands with Leonard. Looks to have all the tools. Travis was absolutely brilliant all game, as were Hyam and Carter. I thought Tronstad did very well and Wharton looked a class above when he came on. I thought Markanday was very poor despite his goal and Dolan was his usual ineffective self. Neither are the answer on a regular basis. -
v West Bromwich Albion (H) - 05/08/2023
rovers11 replied to Polky's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
This will almost certainly be the starting 11. I think that's 5 players short of what our first choice line up will be moving forward. l think Pears will drop down to the bench, Wharton will come in for Trav, and none of the front 3 of Leonard, Dolan, Hedges will be regular starters. I'd take a draw tomorrow. -
Girona Friendly - #fanstakeover
rovers11 replied to We Are The Rovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Respectable scoreline and decent enough performance by the sounds of it. That's a wrap for pre-season. It goes without saying that's it been a very poor summer. Two new signings haven't kicked a ball in pre-season, budget slashed, manager wants out, and several others out injured. Not excited at all about the new season. Lower mid table as it stands. -

Going into the season with Dolan - Leonard - Markanday as our front 3. Very concerning. -
What a surprise, no goals! We'll see a lot of games next season where 0 is against our name if we don't sign some attacking players.
-
Think that's not far off what we'll see on day one of the new season. No idea where the goals come from in that team though.

Pears/ Kaminski.. summer plans?
rovers11 replied to NeilInBristol's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Not great news. Pears is our new number 1 and Kaminski is obviously on his way. -
v Millwall (a) - Monday 8th May
rovers11 replied to arbitro's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Bullied all over the pitch. There's no steel in this team. As others have said, Pickering, Travis, Thomas, Diaz, Hedges, Pears all need replacing. -
Feels like a much needed revenue boost for us. Waggot will be happy.

Goodnight Vienna. See you in the championship again next season. -
v Luton Town (h) - 1/5/23
rovers11 replied to roverandout's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
They're all good squad players but not one of them is good enough to start in this league. Get Dack on. -
v Luton Town (h) - 1/5/23
rovers11 replied to roverandout's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Same old. Playing them off the park but no cutting edge. A sucker punch from a long throw anyone? -
v Luton Town (h) - 1/5/23
rovers11 replied to roverandout's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I think we'll win tonight by a couple pf goals. We're desperate for the points and Luton won't be at full tilt. Will go down to the final day where I reckon we'll draw.
