[Archived] Blackburn Vs Portsmouth. Ewood Park, 7Th November.

I don't think you can totally put the blame on Sam, this is a side that has had peanuts spent on it over several seasons compared to most teams in the league. We have also sold numerous players (our best players) and have never had the full amount of money to replace them.

The players and Sam should take some blame but so should the people that own the club.

The club have given Sam £6m for a striker who hasnt started a prem game yet

[BuckyRover]

Get in!

1-1. Corner of course.

Roberts... maybe he is on his way to proving me wrong after all.

Benni is playing wonderful stuff.

[DE.]

We're starting to take the game to them now, this is more like it. Positive formation, positive performance.

[martmitch]

were a completely different team second half

[RibbleValleyRover]

were a completely different team second half

Lets hope Sam scraps this 4-4-1-1 nonsense, we look a far better side with 2 or more up front.

[bigbrandjohn]

Maybe Sam will play the Blackburn way rather than Blackburn play the Sam way. We are actually looking like a Rovers team.

[Messi422]

We lost our possession.Pompey keep passing.

[DE.]

It's end to end at the moment. We've stopped imposing ourselves in the way we did at the start of the half - seems the surprise factor of a new formation has worn off. We have to win this, a draw is not good enough. Come on boys, if we can come back to beat Villa then we can come back to beat Portsmouth.

[sam_rovers]

(Please don't use that word again) YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
