Complete lack of Rovers" scarves! The vehicle seems pre-50's but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Trilby hats were still common in the late 50"s going in to the 60's. My best guess is late 50's.Haircuts look late 50's to early 60's Guess they are travelling to Ewood (or we've won!) but in which direction? Is it Blackburn to Ewood? Exactly where is it taken? I don't recognise any landmarks. It seems another world ago.

Bowyer didn't waste £12M on 2 players.

Who did you play for?

So you see the issue with relying on a loan on a key position? Plays well for you and fee goes up. The £3m we got for Raya should have gone on a new keeper of our own. But we had no money and at that point I remind you about Gallagher and Brereton and £12M for which I blame the manager you always defend.

Can't agree with this post-match comment from TM: "That said, they are a very good football team, well coached and a well-run club but for long spells we were on top, so we leave frustrated and disappointed." We were overrun for virtually all of the first half. 2nd half was better but "on top for long spells"---I don't think so.

He assembled a far better squad than Tony. There is a difference.

Or possibly Steele is there because no-one else wants him!

We can't complain too much about today. Proud of the fight and passion the lads put up but not enough arte. We could blame the wind but it affected them too. MOM was Walton by a million miles which really shows how most of the game went. How is he Brighton's 4th choice? The other 3 must be exceptional! Reminded me of Brad yesterday. Should we sign him? The question is going to be "can we afford him?" 2nd pen a joke but when you think of the saves Walton had to make compared to Raya then we have to conclude they were the better side. Up front remains the problem, we just can't retain possession. Old-fashioned I may be but our game cried out for 2 wingers who could hold the ball and could cross when it when the cavalry arrived. It looked desolate up there!

Shit. Out of the blue. Possibility of off-side but well taken by Watkins. Its on now.

obvs!

Ridiculous to blame Raya for that. Defender left him stranded.

Getting destroyed down the flanks. spirited defence and poor choices from them keeping us in front. Up front we have shown zilch.

Living very dangerously. Way too open on our right hand side. Walton keeping us in it. Very laboured going forward. Ref giving us nothing.

Lenihan a colossus at the back. We can't seem to get anything going yet we're ahead! Roll on half-time!

You're in good company!

Thanks for clearing that up!

Chicken feed!!

Eh?

Fantastic ending to this game. Frantic goal-mouth action at each end of the ground. Good result for us. Cairney looked good by the way.

He's ignoring football transfer inflation again!

I'm glad you understood it!

Yes! ---instructions on Tony's whiteboard-----Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!

Don't waste your time!

Agree but he has to be given the chance. At least he's strong and can trap the ball!

Only one to command a big fee, But I'll leave it there, I sense a never-ending argument coming on.
