from the BBC live text:

2112: Attendance news in from Blackburn - just 9,235 have turned out at Ewood Park tonight for the match against Norwich. Big Brother must be big in the north west, is it?

Diouf hit the bar with a header. Started playing it short again instead of knocking it long - amazing how much better we look playing football, and how much it lifts the crowd - a huge amount.

Diouf 2-0.

Chris Flanagan (LT):

Diouf was on hand to poke home from close range there, defender on the line thoguht he'd cleared it but the linesman signalled it was a goal. Diouf's goals must have come from a combined total of about five yards.

Would be nice to see us at least try!

I think it's the league tbh - there's so much pressure to remain in it that teams are inherently negative and play for draws. Add to that BFS is pretty negative in his outlook and I can see why we resort to the hoof.

Having said that, since we scored we've pretty much sat back and hoofed it! ;)

It's also because Norwich are much easier opposition.

I think I've said this before, but if Rovers were playing against a pub team they wouldn't hoof it, as the pub team would find the fact the Rovers players were more skilful than they were much harder to deal with than the fact they were stronger and better in the air than them, so Rovers would pass it round a lot more.

However in the Premier League, we're usually either playing teams around our equal in terms of skill level or teams far ahead of us, and so it makes sense to use tactics which give us more of an advantage.

Who would have thought it? I thought he was destined for the knackers yard, not so based on his first 3 games of the season.

Lol. Thought it was El Hadji with the hat trick, forgot we had two Diouf's
