[Archived] Blackburn Rovers vs. Aston Villa

[Nelsta]

Bloody hell villa are going for it, Young has just hit the bar.

[HemelRover]

Going to hide for the 47th minute.

Well, we almost managed it, twice!

[Eddie]

How do we always start the second half so badly?

Also, Friedel was never very good at dealing with set-pieces.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Going to hide for the 47th minute.

Robbo pulled off a good save in the 47th min and they hit the bar.

Just maybe the new owners are giving us the luck we don't deserve with our defending

[Amo]

Why do we always look frickin' hopeless at the restart?

[Eddie]

Would love to see Dunn off and Kalinic on. Dunn has been completely off the pace in this.

[philipl]

BBC says Givet is ill.

We survived the 47th minute, just. Now just another 43 minutes or so more to survive...

[Amo]

Would love to see Dunn off and Kalinic on. Dunn has been completely off the pace in this.

I was going to say the same. Complete passenger.

[Pinch]

Wish Roberts would'be squared that up to Diouf then.

[BuckyRover]

Would love to see Dunn off and Kalinic on. Dunn has been completely off the pace in this.

Replacing a midfielder with a striker when we are winning?

I'll believe it when I see it

[Amo]

Barry Bannan is an awesome name.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

If Villa are pushing for an equaliser later in the game then maybe M.Diouf would be a better option to exploit the gaps.

At the moment I would keep it as it is or maybe see Goulon on instead of another striker.

Although his finishing has been pants, Roberts has been everywhere upfront today. The amount of work he puts in upfront is superb.

[SamTheShrew]

going to be a long half i think.

Ashley Young always looks dangerous

[Pinch]

going to be a long half i think.

Ashley Young always looks dangerous

Yeah, Villa really committing players forward as well.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Although his finishing has been pants, Roberts has been everywhere upfront today. The amount of work he puts in upfront is superb.

So are we seeing another continuation of the Roberts cycle?

Roberts starts-->Puts in effort but doesn't score goals--> Dropped the following game/s back to the subs bench---> Comes off the bench and scores a goal or two over a few games--> Roberts starts

I'd like to see Goulon come on, maybe for Dunny?

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Nelsen has abs of steel.

[BuckyRover]

Barry Bannan is an awesome name.

Every time I hear his name I think of Barry Burton from Resident Evil

[Nelsta]

hoilet off, diouf on

[RibbleValleyRover]

Hoilett off M.Diouf coming on.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Diouf against Clark will be interesting, especially with him on a yellow.

[Nelsta]

2-0 yeaaaaaaaaaa peders again.
