Stoke City v Rovers (a) Sat. 19th Dec. 3pm
rovers11 replied to darrenrover's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
What an awful, awful side Stoke are. They crossed the halfway line once and scored. End of. We will finish above them at the end of the season. No doubts about that -
Mixed feelings about last night. Ultimately it's all about the result and getting 3 points so I'm happy. To score a last second goal to win a match is always a special moment. Also, to win a game when you've been so incredibly poor is every good sign. The 5 sub rule showed why it benefits bigger clubs like ours, their subs made them worse and swung the momentum in our favour. The performance for 80 minutes was inept though. Worrying the players didnt look particularly up for it. That's where we miss the fans to spur the players on; not many of the players seemed motivated on a cold night against an unfashionable team. Let's enjoy Harvey Elliot while he's, we're watching a future England star. Other observations: - Do we have Douglas' twin brother? - Buckley is not ready to start a match - Downing still oozes class

Rovers v Canaries. Sat 12th Dec 3pm
rovers11 replied to darrenrover's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
We're starting to get adrift of the top 6 a little now which is worrying. We have to stay within 5/6 points until we get Trav, Dack and Breo back. We can't afford to get another further adrift. Plenty of games to go of course but the margin for error gets smaller and smaller the further we get adrift. We need a storming Christmas period, but we tend to struggle over the festive period normally. -

Not a single win against a top half team. That's criminal. So frustrating that we have to work so hard for our goals yet other teams score with ease against us. The last three have been tough fixtures but we've come up short again. Another mid table season beckons I fear. -

Not surprised. Norwich are a very good team, probably the best in the division. Only positive is that we’re still in this game...just. -

Ayala has barely played this year so 3 games in 7 days would be too much for him. I’m sure that’s the thinking behind Williams getting the nod ahead of him today. -

I think we'll get well beaten today. They have a very good team and a top manager -
Brentford (A) - Saturday 5.12.20
rovers11 replied to Uddersfelt Blue's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
WOW that is a result to be proud of. Battling qualities in abundance. I didn’t see us scoring in a million years...and neither did their manager hence why he subbed quite a few of their best players. You can never discount this team and their manager has just found that out. Mind you, I don’t think TM thought we stood a chance either and decided to rest Armstrong and Rothwell for the next game after we went 2-1. Special mention to Buckley for sticking at it and digging in at RB against one of the best left backs in this league. Gallagher MOTM. -

When is Williams back? We need him for the next game. I believe it’s only a one game ban for Lenihan he got a red for denying a goal scoring opportunity rather than through dangerous play. -

Playing so well and then the game changes on its head in an instant. Buckley at right back is something I never thought I’d see, and neither did I want to see it. Needless to say I’d be delighted with a point. We had a lot of luck with the decisions against Millwall but not today. -
Brentford (A) - Saturday 5.12.20

I wouldn't be surprised if Johnson and Holtbh are on the bench for this one. Johnson was complaining of a sore back before the game in midweek and Holtby looked quite jaded. Trybull and Downing may come in I reckon. Then again, I may well be totally wrong. -
Rovers v Millwall. Wed 2nd Dec 7.45pm

Just watched the highlights too. How has the ref not given that penalty against Lenihan at the end. The one in the first half was blatant too. Thankfully no VAR! -
Rovers v Millwall. Wed 2nd Dec 7.45pm
rovers11 replied to darrenrover's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Poor performance and a snooze fest...but a last minute goal and three points. Love it! You can get away with playing poorly when you have a top quality striker. Play like that against Brentford and we'll get well beaten, but let's enjoy this win before worrying about that. -
Rovers v Millwall. Wed 2nd Dec 7.45pm
rovers11 replied to darrenrover's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I think it’s obvious from our line up that TM doesn’t expect Millwall to do much attacking tonight. I think they will have 11 men behind the ball and try and nick a goal from a set piece. I think he’s picked Elliot over Rothwell because he’s more likely to play a killer pass. -
Rovers v Barnsley. Sat 28 Nov 3pm
rovers11 replied to darrenrover's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Neither looked badly injured. I think it's just a case of taking zero risks with players at the moment as there's a long season ahead. -

Poor performance but very promising that we have the quality to play poorly and still win. What a goal from Gallagher. Kaminski man of the match. I'm still not sure what Trybull offers, Johnson offered so much more when he came on. -
I think there being no crowd has hugely helped Brereton. It is way less pressure without fans in the stadium. I think the majority of fans were very supportive of him but I'm sure he could sense the frustration everytime he got the ball and mis-controlled it or gave it away (which was pretty much every time he was on the ball!). His rise over the past 6 months has been incredible. We'll struggle to keep hold of him in the summer at this rate. In fact, the whole of our front three prob won't be here next season if we don't get promoted.

Nobbers v Rovers, Tues 24 Nov 7.45pm
rovers11 replied to darrenrover's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Fantastic win. I didn't fancy our chances before the match but it was quite clear in the opening 10 mins that we're a far superior outfit to Preston this season. I doubt we will get an easier game all season. They just gave up after we scored our second goal. Wharton, Douglas, Holtby and Brereton were the pick of the bunch for me. Gallagher produced the key moment of the match which justified the decision to start him. -

Wharton has been incredible so far -

That's true, they are harder to break down but they are worse in possession than Wycombe I reckon. I can see why they've struggled for goals.
