v Middlesbrough (a) - 27/11/2024
rovers11 replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Midweek away game usually spell disaster for us. Our record is appalling. Boro are one of the best teams in this league so I expect a comfortable victory for them. Carrick is a very good manager. 3-0 Boro -
John Park head of recruitment

Apparently the final straw was when he found out he no longer had his own desk. It's in "Nicko's whispers" section of his gossip column today. Doesn't name him but obvious who the story is about. -

He knows there's no money in January and we're shopping in the bargain basement again. Another departure in this shambles of a club. -

Same team as midweek and same result. 2-0 Cardiff. -

I don't blame Eustace too much as what more could he do tonight. The attacking players at his disposal are shocking. The blame falls squarely at the owners. We all know this club is finished until we get new owners. -

The attacking players just aren't good enough Simple as that. We should have been out of sight against a very poor side. What can you do with Dolan, Hedges, Weimann, Ohashi, Gueye. None of them are up to championship level. Then you throw in Pickering, Britainn, and Pears and it's clear why we're struggling. Dropping like a stone now. -

Losing to this dross. Game over. -

Our best half for a while but very little cutting edge. Cantwell has been very good. I really don't know how Hedges continues to start games. He's dreadful. Despite being dominant, we should be one down. They missed a sitter. Pears trying to play out from the play and his inability to command his box at corners, or even make an attempt to come out for the ball, could cost us this game. They look dangerous at set pieces. -
I'm not buying it, Rudy. The owners have created a culture of failure and ripped the heart out of the club. They've got 2 relegations on their CV (and very nearly a 3rd last season) and have driven away thousands of fans. We have raked in around £35m+ in transfer fees in 2 years and we've barely seen a penny of that because we're essentially now self-funding. There is nothing to be grateful to them for.

A very winnable game but it's hard to get excited about any Rovers games at moment despite being 7th in the league. We're completely toothless going forward now and have very little creativity. It feels like we're back in old territory of if we concede the first goal then the game is as good as gone. If we had any shred of ambition then we would have tried to sign Cannon in the summer. He's a top striker at this level and his value will only go up and up. Instead, we were shopping in the bargain basement with Papa and Yuki. I wouldn't be surprised if Cannon scores tomorrow and it ends up being a loss or draw. -
v Sheffield Utd (h) - 2/11/2024

2-0. Game over. Fully deserved. We are powder puff going forwards. Lower mid table finish this season. Dull. -
v Sheffield Utd (h) - 2/11/2024
rovers11 replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
This is the crux of it. You can see the team is well coached, but there's no quality on the pitch. -
v Sheffield Utd (h) - 2/11/2024
rovers11 replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
We've looked solid enough but there's just so little attacking quality. Given how good Sheffield U are defensively, this game feels as good as gone. -

Hedges is useless. How has he missed that. -

We lack so much quality going forward. Hedges and Dolan are not good enough. -
v Watford (a) - 26/10/2024
rovers11 replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Fine margins in a game that probably deserved to be 0-0. We haven't found the right formula away from home at all. We desperately lack pace and need to find a way to get ACD into the team. Not sure what has happened to Gueye. Looked like the striker we'd been crying out for at the beginning of the season. Good in the air, good hold up play, and linked up play well. Now looks like someone who has never played the game before. -
v Swansea City (h) - 19/10/2024
rovers11 replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I never expected a good performance today after two rotten away days. It was all about getting the win and building confidence again. To have won our first five home games in a row at the start of a season for the first time in 30 years is some achievement. And to be in the top 6 after ten games is impressive given how poor we were last season and after losing our best player in the summer. Eustace is doing a very good job. -

A good starting 11 and a very strong bench. Anything other than a win today would be disappointing. -

Wow! Same old problems as last season in the past two games. Pathetic. -
v Plymouth Argyle (a) - 5/10/2024
rovers11 replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Big second half to see if we really are a different animal this season. Do we capitulate and lose by 3 like we did many times last season or do we find a way back into this game? I fear I know the answer but let's see if we are made of different stuff than last season. -

We have to start Cantwell and ACD from now on. Hedges, Dolan, and Weimann are not quite good enough to start regularly. -
v Plymouth Argyle (a) - 5/10/2024
rovers11 replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Pleased to see Gueye back in. He's an important player for us. We've missed his presence up top. I don't think Eustace thinks ACD is disciplined enough defensively to start him yet, particularly away from home. -
v Plymouth Argyle (a) - 5/10/2024
rovers11 replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The front line needs freshening up. Gueye, Hedges, ACD to come in for Weimann, Cantwell, and Ohashi. I don't think Cantwell has enough in his legs for 2 starts in the same week at the moment. The defence and midfield had a poor game on Tuesday like everyone else but the spine of the team has been good this season so I wouldn't be changing that after one bad game. I'd would bring in Toth but I don't think Pears will be dropped yet as he's had a solid start to the season. We're lacking quality in the full back positions at the moment with Beck and Brittain out. Pickering is a plodder who does an OK job defensively, whereas Carter is a very good defender but not a natural fall back. -

That error hopefully gets Pears dropped. Surely Eustace has just been waiting for him to make one (which we knew wouldn't take long) -

Just not been anywhere good enough tonight. Been well off it. Onto Plymouth on Saturday.
