v Leeds Utd (a) - 1/1/2025
jim mk2 replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
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 -

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. -

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. . -

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? -

Tough to watch, ride our luck at times but deserved point for a hard working defensive performance. -

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? -

Good defending but can we keep that up for another 45 minutes? No attacking threat. -

Hedges and Weimann starting. That's an odd team - this could be messy -

Has he been linked to us (seriously) because otherwise there's little point in this discussion. -

I remember an early 1980s (I think it was), end of season game against Chelsea, crowd less than 5,000 IIRC, awful game, the Chelsea hooligans stormed the Blackburn End, the club and football itself felt like it was dying. -
So what? That doesn't qualify him to be a good manager I note Plymouth have won just 4 matches this season - one of them against Rovers Why is this not surprising?

January Transfer window
jim mk2 replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Is one better than the other? Neither good enough for the Championship in my view. Gestede having any say on transfers is a worry. -
Bow locks. The local ManU/Liverpool/etc “fans” are nothing more than than glory hunters. Plastic fans who never attend and watch football only on TV and support them because they’re on TV and they’re “successful” I remember in the 1960s and 70s coachloads heading off to Old Trafford from Blackburn boulevard on a Saturday morning. It annoyed me then and annoys me now. One of our neighbours is a ManU “fan”. I can’t discuss football with him because to me he’s not a true fan. He’s a traitor to his town in my eyes. If you live in east Lancashire and / or were brought up in the area you should be Rovers, Burnley or Stanley. And that’s it.

v Hull City (h) - 29/12/2024
jim mk2 replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The 6-match winning run was clearly an aberration and if you believe that everything reverts to the mean it is quite likely that we are now in the middle of a non winning sequence of matches. If we’re honest thecteam has outperformed to date. It’s higher than it should be given we don’t have any decent forwards and generally lack quality. It’s a mid table team at best and that’s where I think we’ll end up -
Good old Rovers. Always willing to help struggling clubs

Such a limited squad, so little quality. Without reinforcements (highly unlikely) you have to think we’ll finish up somewhere in mid table
