Because Derby and Stoke are playing each other, one or both will be overtaken by the other clubs winning And Plymouth when they beat Leeds 20-0
-
Oh my, imagine wanting Leeds to win by 3 against Bristol City tonight. But that's what supporting the Rovers does to you.🙃

Clobbered 4-0 but safe. -
If we get into the play-offs, it is odds on we play Sheffield United over two legs. For that reason alone, they are not going to be going easy on us.
-
Sheffield United, so often the breaker of Rovers hearts. And victories for Leeds, Burnley and Preston are needed. Ugh I feel contaminated.
-
At least there can be no doubt in supporters' minds. Rovers' management haven't got a clue about what they are doing.

Over ten years age difference probably. I'd offer Batth and Weimann extensions and would gamble on a big deal for Dolan on the basis of being able to recover it and more from a transfer sale if needed.

v Sunderland (a) - 21/4/2025
philipl replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Absolutely no way we are getting 6th but 7th is quite realistic. Unfortunately we have to be in League 2 or the Naltional League for that to be meaningful. Sunderland were on holiday today including a strange starting selection by their coach. We have to beat what is in front of us and we did. Only Woodrow was below the standard of the other players but his control in the goal build up was top class. Nice to see some quality crossing in the first half but of course Gueye wasn't on the pitch to benefit. Not wanting to jinx him, but I increasingly think we have a keeper in Toth - his distribution in the last two games has been excellent. Good to see Ribeiro keep his place and Brittain continuing his great form. Big plus to see Tyjon at the end. -

Both results were draws so we have to avoid defeat at Portsmouth next Sunday! -
sadly I never saw him play but never heard a bad word about him. RIP

v Sunderland (a) - 21/4/2025
philipl replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
This could be anything. Two clubs for whom the result doesn't matter with some stinking bad recent results. I thought our draw in the home game against Sunderland was one of our best performances of the season. Sunderland were very serious automatic promotion contenders when they came to Ewood and played like it. Here's hoping we continue building momentum from recent performances and results but suspect it will be a let down. -
Three games to go and 49 points with goal difference is not an unreasonable realistic requirement to finish 21st. On this basis Preston are already safe... just. Luton and Plymouth have the run ins from hell playing teams at the top still in play off or automatic promotion fights (and not Sunderland who are already safely in the play offs). The others all have eminently winnable games on paper so it comes down to ability, grit and momentum. On yesterday's showing, Derby don't have any of those qualities so they will join Luton and Plymouth preparing for a trip to Burton next season. Up top, the dingles and Leeds have the automatic places sewn up barring losing two of the last three games. Similarly, Bristol City and Coventry have to implode not to get 5th and 6th between them. Boro have to go to Coventry on the last day of the season with Coventry visiting Plymouth and Luton before then so even a slip up against those two relegation haunted sides means Coventry still have 6th place in their control.

Valérien Ismaël: Blackburn Rovers Head Coach

Credibility. Lost when they fired Allardyce -
v Millwall (h) - Good Friday 18/4/2025, 3pm
philipl replied to philipl's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Great win, but Millwall had 10 first teamers out How did we miss those three chances in the first 7 minutes? Toth not at fault for the goal- come on. A Millwall player got to it at the front of the 6 yard box and flicked it back to the guy who scored but could just as easily flicked it goalwards- Toth going for the ball across the 6 yard line would have been beaten at his near post.. As it was, the hard strike went back across the keeper and Toth was within a whisker of stopping. Pears would have stood and watched. Overall Toth was solid and his distribution excellent. Really chuffed for Tronstad, Hyam and Brittain all scoring. -

Big test for Ismael. Nothing game for us against opponents who simply have to go for the win. -

Batty looked all at sea in that Tranmere come back. Didn't know when to press or avoid getting rolled. -

Blackburn Rovers - where 3 managers have sacked the club in the last decade. -
The most underwhelming look forward to Easter football I can recall. Millwall will be coming to Ewood for the win to project themselves into the play-offs which will give the game an edge. They are on quite a run at the moment so the team and supporters will believe. All the noise from the sparse crowd will be from the Darwen End. Likelihood of us getting to half time at least 2 down has to be high. Montgomery will be unavailable. Travis and Hyam will play. Beyond that we need a random number generator for the starting eleven. This sort of a nothing game will be a measure of Ismael's abilities.

I too thought we were down to 9 until I realised Trav was still on the park. -

philipl replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Credit where credit is due but Luton deserve to be where they are if they can't win 12 V 10. Good to see us playing some passing football and defending effectively. Montgomery looks a proper footballer and that ref a brainless bully. Good that we finally have a double (at the last opportunity) and 1965/6 remains the last season when we didn't get one. Here's hoping Ismael has turned a corner in a positive direction. -

We owe it to John Eustace to win this one.
