Thought yesterday was his best game in a rovers shirt for a good while after a poor one at PNE last week. The ball stuck to him and he worked his socks off, my MotM. Pity his run and shot didn’t go in the first half would have been a goal of the season contender but the keeper read it well. Defo worth a contract but whether he deserves to be on a par with our highest paid players is prob why he isn’t signing yet.

Amario Cozier-Duberry (ACD)
roverblue replied to NeilInBristol's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I was hoping this guy was going to be a proper pacey dribbling winger but from what I’ve seen so far seems to be another Moran who just likes to drift inside with the ball and not take on his man. Hope he proves me wrong but isn’t what I was expecting so far. -
Loving the resurgence under Eustace, winning at home is the most important metric and he is delivering. Long may it continue!

Another crappy kick off time, seems to be the norm this season. Hoping our home form continues and we smash these 3-0 like Bristol. There main danger last season was the striker they sold to Bristol who came on last week and looked a handful again. They also haveI Ilias Chair who is good on the ball. Other than that dont know much about them. I would like Gueye back up front to start and Baker/Dolan/Hedges replaced based on the last game for Cantwell/Duberry/Weimann.

I can feel my blood boil when I read that sob story about season tickets sales. How thick can they be to be suprised that season tickets were so low when we... Sold our best player for £20m and spent nothing in January. Failed to properly register our only money signing in January. Loaned out our club captain likely as much to do with money than sense. Won 6 games at home all season. Managed just 1 home win since October. Had a new manager that still had not managed to win a home game. Almost got relegated. Planned to sell our next best player in summer. Under a financial cloud due to the indian court case meaning we might not be able to sign any players or even worse sell large parts of the squad. Sacked the entire recruitment and scouting department at the end of the season. At the time of putting tickets on sale had made no signings. Put the ticket price up mid-summer when we still hadnt made any signings. Put out complete radio silence for most of summer so nobody had the first clue what was going on during the early bird price window. They must be absolute complete and utter morons to think it would be anything other than a total washout. If the chuckle brothers or an alien landed from mars did all the above even they wouldnt be suprised that people didnt fancy it.

He looks well rusty at the moment, guess it could be a while before we see him starting unless injuries hit.

v PNE (a) - 22/09/2024
roverblue replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Enjoyed the day out, my first away game in a while. The performance was pretty flat, not sure if that was down to us or just good organisation by PNE. Even with 10 men they managed to find spaces which is frustrating when we had a spare man. Thought Travis rose to the occasion more than the rest, he looks really good this season and glad he’s back. It’s only one poor game but Hedges and Dolan need to make way for the upgrades in Cantwell and Duberry/Weiman next Saturday. also Baker looks totally lost and did at ewood last week out wide hopefully that experiment is over. -
John Eustace - our head coach
roverblue replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
JDT talked a good game and charmed the pants off most people. I found it one of the most boring periods of watching rovers at home in 30 odd years. Lots of backwards, sideways passing along with the most abysmal defensive organisation I have ever seen at Ewood. Never mind his approach to local derbys or the ability to change a game. Its still early in the season but it appears that Eustace has brought the good times back, you can feel it on the ground and hear it in the stands. We don't look a soft touch anymore and showing lots of 'Arte et Labore' in games. There is plenty of time for the wheels to come off but at the moment I am glad I renewed my season ticket as was very close to not doing so. -
v Bristol City (h) - 14/9/2024
roverblue replied to philipl's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Fantastic performance feels so much better at Ewood this season vs the dross served up last season by both managers. We already have 3 of our 6 home wins from last season and get the feeling that will be well smashed this time around. Ohashi and Beck class today and everyone else on 8/9 ratings for me. Keep it going! -

Feeling positive about this one, good start to the season and options in most areas of the pitch. Rovers 3 - 1 Bristol -

Shame we went out the Carabao as would have been a safer place to blood him in. Guess we stick with Pears till he cocks up or gets injured. -
John Eustace - our head coach
roverblue replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Still early days for Eustace but looks a lot more promising this season than it did last. There seems to be more pissing about at the back creeping in which I'm not a fan off but its not an obsession like it was with JDT. -

Every derby game we look totally uninterested, just being out ran and out worked. No pressing or movement just trying to keep the score down by the looks -

Think the recruitment team have done a great job with very little budget. Good players in all around working with peanuts. -

If Godo is London based then Millwall makes sense. Hopefully there is an alternative still possible! -

If Cantwell does come where does he play as don't know much about him? Sounds like he takes Dolans spot rather than on the wing. Hope we are still bringing in some pacey wingers as it would make a huge difference to the team and our ability to threaten. -
https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/24272122.joe-rankin-costello-names-best-position-blackburn/ "I think I'm best in midfield, I think it suits my game more," he explained. "I can get forward and help the team, I want to play box-to-box, get forward and help the team defensively. "I enjoy it and I am still learning. As a professional, at this level, I haven't played that many games in there. "I am getting used to it and enjoying it. Sonny (Tronstad) is very good, he does the stuff that maybe goes unnoticed. He does all of the dirty work and I enjoy working with him. "It's been frustrating for me, I feel like my season has just got going and it's coming to an end really. I will do the right things over the summer break, keep my body right and I hope I'll be ok next season."

It’s looking more grim by the day. Completely ridiculous that a club who have brought in over £40m didn’t have ready made deals to activate as soon as Sammy left. Absolute amateurs. -

Id take Cantwell and the Liverpool LB on loan. We still dont seem to be going after pacey wingers which I think is our major weakness along with the GK. -

its not looking great at the moment, the court case being postponed has pissed on rovers chips in my opinion and the Sammy money has now gone back into covering for the Venkys fraudulent activities.
