[Archived] Blackburn Rovers v Stoke City

[Dunnfc]

F**k you Venky's, f**k you Steve Kean, and f**k any of you muppets who have been supporting the complete farce that is going on at our club right now.

Shut your whinging... seriously.

You dont support owners you support the ###### team, if you dont like it burnley is 9 miles down the road.

BRFC and proud...still we will turn it around .

[Eddie]

Huth- we just couldn't handle the sustained physical pressure.

Nonsense. We just failed to track a simple run at a corner and the man who was supposed to be marking Huth has decided to basically leave him to Diouf, who was simply protecting the front post in a zonal position. Bad marking and you can't do that at this level.

[G Somerset Rover]

Steve Kean couldn't have wished for two better games to begin his reign. If we yield one point from those then already it doesn't look good for me. On paper our next 'winable' game given our awful away form is WBA at home at the end of Jan.

[philipl]

Never mind that. Where is our goal threat coming from this afternoon?

[Eddie]

...oh and Dunn shouldn't be playing. He can't play at this level anymore, not in a four man midfield and rarely even in a five man midfield. Doesn't have the legs.

58 minutes gone and we've just had our first good move of the match.

[OsloRover]

Where is Keith Andrews when you need him

[Gogger]

Seriously, how much time is Stoke allowed to use on those throw ins? We look like Arsenal compered to them.

[Eddie]

We aren't being helped by this ref. Two Stoke players could have easily picked up second yellows, particularly Shawcross just then.

Oh shut up, everyone is supporting the team in this thread.

The Stoke goalkeeper has just had to make his first save of the match.

We've gone this season from a position of comfort where we were looking up the table, to a position where relegation looks a very distinct possibility.

For no reason whatsoever.

If we turn this game round it will be down to luck and nothing else. We've offered absolutely nothing so far.

If you can't see that then Specsavers is even closer than Burnley.

Everyone = Were we expecting 3 points against stoke i was happy with 0-0

But come on 30 mins left allot can happen, cheer up its xmas!

No point in slashing your wrists, stoke are a great organised team. It will take a few more games yet for us to click, id have liked 3 points myself but a point against stoke is valuble.

[MarkBRFC71]

At the game. Pedersen and Dunn have been just shockingly awful. Two proper midfielders in Jan and those two dropped and we'd look a much better side.

[Gogger]

Why on earth does the ref blow if it aint a yellow for shawcross?

[G Somerset Rover]

So Dunn where do you see our points coming from if you'd be happy with 0-0 at home to Stoke?

Great analysis there mate, think you should do some punditry on the telly or something.

[Mercer]

Not a good listener or MB viewer - a Burnley friend has just filled my glass and told me the score. Feeling absolutely sick.

[Eddie]

Hoilett coming on for Dunn.

So were we, until a couple of weeks ago.

[Dunnfc]

Honestly i just dont see the point in moaning becuase we are losing, i know we are all passionate and rovers fans but the is nothing we can do other than look to the future and unfortunalty for some its with Venkys.

We've got what we've got. Get on with it and make the most of it.

We will turn it around

3 points should have been last week, wigan, wolves, birmingham, blackpool... they are the 3 points. hopefully.

[Balwer]

You'd think Blackburn boss Steve Kean would need to change things around soon. You don't need three central defenders when you're 1-0 down at home.

Fair point from the commentary team at Yahoo Football...

[AndyB]

Dunny off for Hoillet

[philipl]

Four wingers and no central midfield now.

Yeah, you're right. Everything's absolutely fine.

[philipl]

...and the dingles are now 2-1 up.

[Eddie]

Very good Robinson save.

[G Somerset Rover]

Should be 2 down there.

Hopefully Kean will give a good press conference after the game then we know we'll be fine.
