January Transfer Window.
matt83 replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
So to summarise 278 pages, from rumours of signing absolute detritus to signing players that would have been quite decent, we ended up signing no one!?!?!? Cant say I’m massively surprised. -
January Transfer Window.
matt83 replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Out of the strikers seen rovers linked with on loan recently - undav who Brighton paid £6 million for, Samuel iling junior who plays for juve (well makes the first xi squad) and has represented England at all youth levels and gelhardt from Leeds who’s also represented England at youth levels. They’ll never get those type of deals done. It’ll be some clodhopper no other bugger wants. -

It’s the same old transfer window at Venkys Blackburn Rovers. A string of failed targets, I’m not convinced any of the good rumoured are ever on the list, probably put out in the media to give the impression they’re doing something. Then as things get desperate folk are happy just to see a new face any new face. I’m 99% sure they targeted hyam under the old regime who’s been the only decent addition over the summer with a range of totally useless for hirst and looking decent for brittain but never fit. So the new regime have a very iffy record with players bought in this window doesn’t look like changing anything positively. -
v Birmingham FA Cup 4th Round replay - 31/1/23
matt83 replied to Sweaty Gussets's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Rotherham had won once in 13 games with plenty of defeats before the soft centres rolled into town and I thought will lose. Wasn’t quite expecting a 4-0 massacre though. Brum have lost their last 5 excluding the mighty forest green and I’m thinking exactly the same thing as I did vs Rotherham. -
Not finished I don’t think they’ve even dug the footings yet. There’s something in the bible about a wise man building his house on stone and a foolish man building his house on sand. I wonder which category rovers fall in to.

Out of the 3 choices on the table for Porteous signing for rovers would represent the least ambition for the lad. -
Probably. He could even rock up at rovers. People would convince themselves that he’s got premier league experience, a championship play off under his belt and will have contacts at chelski for loans. Mowbray had his journey that failed. Jdt and his project will no doubt fail. I can’t wait for 2025 and fat Frank’s 4 year stratagem.

Everton are in quite the pickle. Surely surely surely this is fat frank’s last job in management. Didn’t deserve the derby job and only to them to the exact poison finished the season before under Rowett. Certainly didn’t deserve the chelski job and flopped. Didn’t deserve the Everton job and he’s still underperforming.

Brereton is well and truly back. It was nice to have that Diaz for an amazing 6 months but either side of that purple patch he’s been fairly ordinary. -

He’s like the modern forward equivalent of Jason Lowe. Played nearly 200 games for rovers and I can’t really say what his strengths were. He wasn’t a box to box midfielder, didn’t score goals, wasn’t great at tackling/breaking up play, didn’t have a killer pass, didn’t take set pieces nor was he liability. He just filled a shirt to no obvious purpose. This lad might be cut from the same cloth. -
v Norwich City (a) - FAC3 - 8/1/23, 2pm
matt83 replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
We drove to Portman road pretty much to boo Kean in the first game of the season. 9-10 hours and 500 miles round trip just to abuse that fat bald toad. They were certainly strange times. -
v Norwich City (a) - FAC3 - 8/1/23, 2pm

Won twice at Portman road (88 and 94) in nearly 30 visits. -
v Norwich City (a) - FAC3 - 8/1/23, 2pm
matt83 replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Since 1970 until a few weeks ago we’d won once at Carrow road when egil scored a couple in 99. Now won twice in 3 weeks. Very decent effort considering do nothing in that part of the country. -

This is no way to defend a lead just accept wave after wave of attack. -

Racking up the injuries now. -

Awful. But it’s been awful for a good decade now. -

He’s definitely at a crossroads. Needs a Rooney or a pair of clippers. -

It appears as though Brereton is back. Hopefully Chile have a game coming up and they can awaken Diaz. -

Rubbish. Again. -

We’re in less danger when Cardiff are in possession in the middle of the park than when we’re in possession at the back. -
v Cardiff City (h) - 1/1/23
matt83 replied to Sweaty Gussets's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Also the manager says himself we’re not aiming for the play offs despite being there for most of the season. So if the manager is happy with midtable nothingness from 3rd hardly a good incentive to get bums on seats. -
Jon Dahl Tomasson - Officially No Longer Our Head Coach
matt83 replied to Tom's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I’m sure he’ll get a season at least but ultimately he’ll end up in the category of shite managers for rovers and considering in 3rd it doesn’t even feel like a outlandish prediction. Once again it feels like just killing time until we pull another name out of the tombola. -

I hope there isn’t a 5 year journey project with this clown. -
