v Millwall (a) - Monday 8th May

All from Diaz chickening out of a challenge. -

Get your money on us. That disallowed Millwall goal was a change in our luck. My heart is now saying it's game on! Keep dreaming! -

Millwall at it intensely. Let's see who has the bottle in red shirts. -

Think it's going to be a horrible day for us. Head says it wont work out for us today and even the heart has given up hope today. I just hope I'm wrong. -
Jon Dahl Tomasson - Sweden coach
Mercer replied to Tom's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
We should have started yesterday with Thomas and Leonard instead of Diaz and Dolan. Why keep selecting an, IMO, 'a can't be arsed' Diaz and a 'schoolboy masquerading as a headless chicken' Dolan. It's tantamount to insanity. When Dack came on, IMO, he looked fecked and I think he's finished at Rovers and quite possibly at Championship level. I don't think JDT has any legitimate excuses when he continually fails to to best use the tools at his disposal. -

Or better still, two! An attacking intent is the best form of defence. -
v Luton Town (h) - 1/5/23
Mercer replied to roverandout's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Successful teams all have excellent captains - Liverpool (Souness), Man U (Keane), Arsenal (Adams), Rovers PL winners (Sherwood). They make a huge difference both on and half the field. Just one example. IMO, Brereton has needed a rocket up his arse and there is no way in the world the likes of Souey, Keane, Adams or Sherwood would have allowed him to saunter about like he's done in most games since Christmas. We need players metaphorically who will lie down and die for the cause. That comes from the manager and captain. To say it's like a feckin holiday camp is probably a bit OTT but you surely get my drift. -

Absolutely gutted. Another glorious opportunity this season flushed down the sh1tter. Not a cat in hell's chance Rovers win at Millwall let alone other results go our way. It's over. You just know JDT will start with the same team of, IMO, half arsed, useless bottlers. Had loads of disappointments following Rovers over the decades but to go out with a whimper like we have done in recent games is beyond the feckin pale. Not sure I can forgive Broughton and JDT for screwing up so badly. -

Sadly, will prove too little too late. -

Just feck off JDT - fed up with this w@nk! -

Mercer replied to roverandout's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
JDT has 15 minutes to save our season. Two of BBD, Dolan and Hedges MUST be hooked now. We need Leonard and Dack on - they know the way to goal. We have absolutely feckin nothing to lose. Absolute insanity from JDT. -

Why keep selecting him - it's feckin madness. -

Mercer replied to roverandout's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
If Dolan doesn't get hooked soon, we lose. Total crap. -
v Luton Town (h) - 1/5/23
Mercer replied to roverandout's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Nail on head - the lad simply doesn't have a striker's instinct. You either have an eye / nose for goal or you don't. Leonard has shown he has - unlucky not to come away with 3 goals from 2 cameo performances. -

Back in those days we probably couldn't afford to buy half a dozen orange ones!!! -

Love those sort of quirks. So often turn out right! -

Think the use of City facilities only recent. My understanding is some medicals were carried out at Brockhall for the August window. Please understand that any Duly Authorised Signatory can sign off the paperwork (would think given background of @philipl he would be aware of this) and for the life of me I can't understand why Broughton wouldn't or shouldn't do this.
-
Are we such a small time club that we now have to use Man City's training facility? If so, unbelievable and nonsense. Broughton IS IN CHARGE OF FOOTBALL - he is the DOF with specific responsibility FOR ALL FOOTBALL MATTERS - if that does not include the signing of players then feck me! Who on earth said they were partying or at a Chinese buffet!?! Didn't Broughton himself not say they went out in Manchester to water and feed O'Brien? Feck me, I can tell you off at least half a dozen places very close to Brockhall where they could have gone for food!!! You are wrong about Waggott and Silvester. Transfer documentation can be signed off by any DULY APPOINTED SIGNATORY so why the feck that can't be our highly paid DOF is beyond comprehension. Chaddy - stop trying to defend the indefensible and all things Rovers. Be objective!!!
-
Wrong, wrong, wrong. Broughton is the DOF. Footballing matters are his responsibility. When time is of the essence and you are working to a strict and defined schedule, you should ensure that ALL key personnel are under one roof for the day including Waggott and any medical personnel required for a medical or medicals. Additionally, wasn't Broughton watering and feeding O'Brien in Manchester? - IMO, what feckin nonsense if correct.

Mercer replied to roverandout's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Cometh the hour cometh the man!!!! It's a no feckin brainer. We have absolutely nothing to lose, we are drinking in the last chance saloon. -
TBH after our recent run of results, I don't think we could ask for anything other than it being back in our hands. We are on our way!
-
I'll add another one pertinent to me and that's 'gut feel' and that is not down to last night's curry which was terrific! Can't explain it or rationalise it but my 'gut feel' is we are going up. To me reminiscent of 1991/1992 season when we scraped into the play-offs in sixth place on the last day of the season and we were then staring down the barrel at 2 down to Derby in the semi final first leg at Ewood after some 20 minutes - the rest is history! The 'fun' starts on Monday: Rovers 3 - Luton 1. Hope springs eternal. Enjoy the Bank Holiday weekend.

IF, and it's an enormous feckin IF, Rovers somehow manage two wins, I think it would be enough. My forecast: Coventry 70 points Sunderland 69 points Millwall 68 points WBA 67 points PNE 65 points They say it's the hope that kills you............................!!!
