Pickering has played in a three and did well. He was in a defensive trio with McFadzean and Carter when we beat Leicester to stay up. -

The win at Bristol has come at a real cost. Aside from Toth Scott Wharton has an achilles problem and the early prognosis is the weeks I'm told. Hayden Carter will be on the bench due to lack of minutes. I have a problem with this though as we had an under 21 game last Friday and if Carter was a bit short on match fitness (he has been in full time training now for a couple of weeks) then why not give him 45 minutes with them. If one of the two or three centre halves gets injured early in the game (or even in the warm-up) then surely Carter will be called on. It makes very little sense to me not to utilise under 21 matches for some of the first team squad. -

I picked mind up yesterday. Although I have only skimmed through it the quality of it is excellent. As for the content from my ten minutes looking through it that looks good. -
Eustace exploited Pears' weakness in the air in the first few minutes at their place. Now they have Carlton Morris who will be his normal, physical self.
-
I honestly don't know. I don't have any real knowledge of how they work.
-
That was kind of my point. Out of the three I had one was 10 days but the others were longer. I recall Ally McCoist coming back within two weeks after a meniscus tear. Everyone is different with regards to recover. I'm hoping Toth is a quick healer. Ally McCoist suffered a meniscus tear (a common type of knee cartilage injury) during his playing career, and famously returned to action in less than two weeks after undergoing arthroscopic surgery for it.
-
There was some speculation it's his meniscus and if there is a tear in it then surgery is required. I have had three such operations and was back running from one of them in the days but the others were a bit longer. It sounds like the same procedure Weiman had last season and he was, from memory a few weeks.

Valérien Ismaël: Blackburn Rovers Head Coach
arbitro replied to DE.'s topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I think this is why. https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/disgrace-valerien-ismael-fumes-bristol-143000704.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAACqKvZdSiVEs67D2E2VXxkt_2FkZzCIBKHO4BPw2qHzNWZlpwM1CDo6ZEFhLD3zFmauj6LSgpQGSPmb0KBENsxBHSdx-yF0sv8npLFJiMHv15IicnAbFC9Oa1W4Vb0LwTeLXaj6-CljvrJmfWvmylRer4huvBL9Db2ICWY7tN8QQ There did seem to be a minor altercation in the technical area but it looked to me like it was Dean Whitehead getting involved with Struber. -
From behind the goals I thought I saw him at Bristol on Tuesday.
-
I was told earlier this week about his appointment but I haven't a clue why there is a delay in announcing it.

We have taken more points in the last three games than we had in the previous ten games. -
v Bristol City (a) - 4/11/25
arbitro replied to Jerseybean's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
For the fourth time this season the journey home felt far better despite the best efforts of Highways England to change that. Once again I thought we were the better side particularly in the first half when we were dominant and Bristol were reduced to counter attacking. Getting a goal when in a position of dominance is so important and that is what we did (at one stage I thought our Achilles Heel of missing presentable chances would cost us) so for me that was stage one completed. We knew the second half would be a backs to the wall job, almost a role reversal from the first half. But we, once again defended valiantly and being completely honest I was relaxed about holding on to the lead. We were desperately unlucky with injuries in the second half but he much maligned Forshaw in particular came on and did a really good job. Despite the referee doing his best to give Bristol a chance (from afar we thought the tired challenge by Alebiosu was a penalty so perhaps I can forgive him for the extraordinary amount of stoppage time. Whilst we are on a good run it was heartening to hear a some Rovers fans singing anti Venky songs. Well done to the staff and players once again. They have been questioned many times this season for various reasons but one thing nobody can question is their commitment to the cause. -

It is awful and seeing those pictures above has convinced me not to buy it. I wouldn't have minded if it was a limited edition and numbered accordingly but it just looks cheap and tacky and has absolutely no appeal to me. I can't see one redeeming feature about it. -

I quite like that. For me it has a retro look to it. -

If they are £90 then I'd love to see someone from the club justifying that exorbitant price. That will be the biggest factors in low sales followed by no identification on the shirt to link it to Rovers. The above is assuming the 'leaked' information is correct. -
I have been told that the new under 21's manager is Gregory Vignal who lists Liverpool and Rangers amongst the many clubs he played for. There has been nothing announced from the club yet.

January Transfer Needs
arbitro replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
De Neve was picked for his energy and ability to get up and down. The down bit of his game was missing at times which meant McLoughlin had to step out wider to get tight on Fatawu. He should never have been 1 v 1 for the reason you said - his lack of pace and mobility. Ismael deserves credit for his changes. -
January Transfer Needs
arbitro replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
McLoughlin was playing as a left sided centre back and out of possession De Neve should have dropped in to help him (as Alebiosu was doing). I mentioned to my granddaughter a couple of times in the first half that defensively De Neve was neglectful and hung McLoughlin out to dry particularly against a talented player like Fatawu. It was a smart move from Ismael to bring the more diligent Hedges on and his defensive ability pretty much nullified Fatawu. -
I didn't see John Prince there despite him being referenced in that report. The coaching was done in the main by Daragh Tuffy who was assisted by a bloke I didn't recognise.

They are singing 'Montgomery, I like it' to the tune of That's the Way I Like It by KC and The Sunshine Band. It really caught on at Leicester and improved the atmosphere. -

Surely the people who gave him the deal are culpable too. They will need and Allardyce type appointment now but that type of manager are a bit thin on the ground.

I hadn't seen his earlier post where he said he did. So I accept he did it that's what he posted.
