  1. No. In an nutshell The 10,000 or so extra fans would probably have been appalled by yesterday's match, which was low quality with little excitement They would also have been shocked probably at how limited Rovers are, compared to the teams and players they remember. And we lost. The atmosphere was good but from a football point of view was little if anything to make the average wabering fan to visit Ewood again
  2. I didn’t see that, what did he do? We were in the Riverside Darwen end suffering the humiliation of the corner flag incident.
  3. I thought Parker had them well drilled, they looked well coached , playing within themselves. There was a 10 minute period in the first half when they kept the ball and we didn’t have a touch. The looked a class above us to be honest
  4. Yes we’re at maximum effort and the maximum of our ability now. It can’t get any better. To improve from here we need at least 4-5 quality players to come in
  5. Watching Barnes celebrating and the player parading the Rovers corner flag with a Burnley shirt on…. That’s what hurt the most. I wonder if the owners watching in India were feeling that hurt too?
  6. Some more thoughts On the plus side Tronstad, Baath, Brittain and Beck had excellent games, the latter will be sorely missed when he goes back. However Cantwell is a lightweight show pony who flatters to deceive Today was depressing in so many ways. The squad is overall very poor and not good enough to challenge for promotion Watching Burnley players celebrate with their fans really hurt. Who was the player who grabbed the corner flag and ran around with it covered in Burnley shirt? As for Ashley Barnes he needs sorting out … away from the football pitch
  7. Well that keeps up my 100 per cent record ……. Still yet to see Rovers win this season Some thoughts Hate to say it but Burnley were a class above, a standard of player in a different league to ours. They’ve spent money - and it showed Rovers need a revamp, 3 or 4 new players, ones who can create and score goals. As it stands we will be lucky to finish in mid table The Burnley goal and Rovers’ only chance in the first half came from beautiful lcrosses delivered at pace behind defenders, traditional and effective wing play. So much for inverted wingers
  8. Agree, it's nonsensical. I don't know why any manager worth their salt would work under such a system.... unless they were desperate for the job/money.
  9. ........ but, but, but , aren't we all supposed to be in thrall to these modern "inverted wingers"? I too regret the passing of the traditional way of playing and there's still no denying that defenders hate nothing more than a driven cross behind the defence from the near the bye-line, meat and drink to the likes of Shearer and Sutton. Which manager would be brave enough to go back to that way of playing, though I admit it would be difficult given the paucity of traditional wingers in the game
  10. Just found out we've got 4 tickets for this......and I haven't seen Rovers win this season 😧
  11. It’s the point I was trying to make earlier - that trying to keep clean sheets and nicking the odd goal isn’t sustainable over 46 games. Without decent forwards and another creative midfielder we’ll slowly tumble down the table. And from where we stand at the moment that would be very disappointing
  12. Hard to beat is good, but it's not enough if the aim is to do more than just plod along in mid-table. It won't be sustainable over the course of 46 league games and came unstuck recently against Millwall and Hull and the likelihood is we'll continue to slip down the table from here.
  13. Thank you Statto. You're always there with the facts and figures.. I'm not complaining about the results overall this season by the way, only that Rovers are difficult to watch and, at times, it's hard to see how they will ever score a goal. .
  14. Hate to be a party pooper but amid the euphoria of an unexpected point we do have to ask questions about the lack of quality up front and in midfield. Has there ever been a Rovers side that struggled to look threatening or score goals as much as this one?
  15. Tough to watch, ride our luck at times but deserved point for a hard working defensive performance.
  16. Leonard has to get involved, help to relieve the pressure
  17. This is a team based on rock solid defence. That works some of the time but, as stated above, when it doesn't and Leeds score where is the Rovers goal coming from?
  18. Good defending but can we keep that up for another 45 minutes? No attacking threat.
  19. Just missed another chance to get a cross in His hair do is very good I have to admit
  20. Mighty Oxford winning at Millwall - who beat us not long ago
  21. Hedges and Weimann starting. That's an odd team - this could be messy
  22. Has he been linked to us (seriously) because otherwise there's little point in this discussion.
