When Ewood was redeveloped it was dismantled piece by piece and rebuilt almost exactly as it was in the Blackburn end

That’s because Jack Walker had a vision for the future but also respect for history and heritage.

I think if the opposition teams are also picking injuries up then your argument holds water,  otherwise its just our lack of peak physical fitness.

Were Wigan’s injuries anything to do with the pitch?

 Is it in the old wood-panelled boardroom? 

It says it’s the Ewood Park clubroom - here’s the link to where I found it

I think that’s film of the FA Cup replay in February 1960. Look at the scorers - Dobing 2 and Dougan 1. We won 3-0 away after drawing 1-1 at home with a last gasp Mick McGrath goal. Incidentally the gate for the home game was 51, 223 ! Most of the male population of Blackburn !
 

Team for the home game - 

Leyland

Bray, Whelan

Clayton, Woods, McGrath

Douglas, Dobing, Dougan, Vernon, McCleod.

For the away game Bimpson played in place of Douglas and Douglas played in place of Vernon. Vernon must have been on his way to Everton between the games.

I love hearing people talking about this era - I can tell that you’re being transported back into that moment

Any chance of anybody less technologically-challenged than me - not difficult! - copying the photo taken in the Ewood clubhouse to the Nostalgia thread, please? I've a comment on it that I'd like to offer that's inappropriate to this thread.

Done

Was that when the B/pool player fell on the pitch? I think he just needed a nap!

It was - looked like his foot was off the ground 

Maybe even a booking for taking a dive!

Dolan took his chance well but aside from the Morton chance there was nothing really close to being clear cut.

Good result, very impressive league position, very impressive defensive solidity, as dull a style since the Appleton days and a total dearth of chances created and excitement.

Still, tonight and Saturday were both snooze fests yet if we go home with a win im happy.

Underrated goal. 

Well worked goal

Isn’t that a foul throw @ 1min 28?

Great result and many great performances.

It's been said, many times, but Gallagher is literally unbelievably bad isn't he...

According to transfermarkt he has 13 career headed goals - for a 6ft 4 striker that seems extraordinary.

12 clean sheets is just slightly better than 1 every 3 games - hardly a  guarantee that 1 goal will be enough for a win.
