We said we'd win promotion, we said we'd win the cup

But on that famous Monday Preston f*cked it up. Na na na.........

Be a bit of statement winning here. I know I could google, but when was the last time we won there? I don't think we have at the new ground?

Rovers actually played in the first ever game at the new Liberty Stadium in a pre-season friendly back in 2005. They won 4-1. Slim pickings since then.

Turned into a very good point which I would have taken before the start.

The main positive, it is undoubted that Mowbray has built a team with an incredible bond and team spirit which was really tested once Raya went off. Never seen an outfield player go in net live before and it was a bit terrifying but luckily they didnt muster any shots up in that time. As I will go on to in a minute, that team spirit may often get us points like yesterday against the odds.

Thought West Brom were really poor in general, and lacking in ideas.

Also the performance of Reed in midfield was a real plus, and his wonder goal was needed in the absence of strikers.

I stand by the fact that the team selection was full of square pegs in round holes, and that Mowbrays team selection sprung up more questions than answers. Once Mulgrew went off, it was only him and Lenihan that we were missing yet we used 2 midfielders and a left back as centre backs. We all know that we needed a centre back in the summer and need to hope that Mulgrew and Lenihan can be patched up until January.

I dont understand why the Dack up front experiment is being persisted with but it again didnt work. All the while our best player this season in Graham and our 7m striker Brereton get splinters on the bench. Palmer, Rothwell, Bennett and Conway also all out of position. And then Smallwood!

I think that it was a very good point in the circumstances, and another occasion in recent times where I have come off a game feeling proud about the current team. That said, I feel that Mowbrays team selection yesterday and some of the tactical selections he keeps making (some of which are caused by imbalanced transfer recruitment) were very strange and I hope we dont continue to do them.

Can anyone remember the last time this happened at Rovers, if at all!? It could be my ageing, addled brain but do I remember Simon Garner donning the keeper's jersey once?

Blue Monday is probably the most adaptable to a terrace chant. Or even Bizarre love triangle. 

Everytime I see The Rovers

I get down on my knees and pray

I’m waiting for that final moment

When Blackburn Rovers have their day.

(Alt. 4th line - When Venky’s f** k off out the way!)

...and as appalling as we've been all season, we've just gone above Burnley!
