[Archived] Rovers vs West Brom preview

[ruggles1995]

we need the new manager atmosphere effect, i cant remember when i have felt disinterested rovers every game, i expec t nothing from every game nor am i excited before a match anymore, Blackburn us fans everything needs a lift, we need a new manager to give us renewed hope, will also do venkys a favour as we will get off there backs a little less

[Steve Moss]

I purposefully stayed off the board so I could form an untainted opinion of the first half. I think we were marginally the better team, though we invite too much pressure.

Robbo, fantastic as always.

Lowe, a talent but needs experience. Should be pleased with his peformance though I worry that WBA have identified him as the weak link.

Dann, decent gave it away once or twice.

Samba. solid.

Pedersen, surprisingly respectable performance. Excellent free kick.

Vucivec, did well defensively, plenty of movement, not coasting.

N'Zonzi, okay.

Dunn, past it and a liability.

Rochina, brilliant ball skills, needs to be quicker on the trigger as he employs too many touches to no effect.

Formica, another talent. High energy.

Yakubu, respectable performance, good effort though he apparently lives off sides. Kean's best purchase by far.

I worry that it is only a matter of time before Obemwingie or Long score, so we need to get it together and actually put some bite in our attack as opposed to our occasional bark. Under a real manager I would be confident. Unfortunately, the only manager on the field is with WBA so the second half WBA should have the edge after both men with the title of manager are done tinkering.

Venkys, please wake up. This is a decent squad. The weakness is our manager. Get rid of Kean regardless of whether he wins or looses today.

Did I hear 'There's only one steve kean'??? Watching on TV it sounded like it

Play it backwards and it says he's going to bum your mum.

[sam_rovers]

its unbelievable how poorly organized we are- We defend too deep, our full backs move up too much and get caught out and the few times we go forward, either now one supports Yakubu or the players just stroll around- horrible

[BRFC1995]

theres a steve kean 2nd half to look forward to.........what are his 2nd half stats, if only 2nd halves counted we'd have lost 25 or 26(possibly more been a while since i saw that stat) league games under his miserable tenure from 36 games.

[ruggles1995]

i think we will go 1-0 down and get a draw 1-1

We have owners who know nothing about football and manager who used to be a ball boy at the training ground. It´s not unbelievable.

[Pinch]

i think we will go 1-0 down and get a draw 1-1

No, the opposite - 1 nil up, then clumsy, mess it up - end up 1-1.

I heard this but thought it must have been the wba fans...

Wow, just the 6 pages on here.

0-0, we need a win to have any chance. Although that would probably just be a stay of execution.

Was thinking the same Bryan.. Must be near enough a record low number of posts, but what more is there to say, no point saying much its pretty much the same every week of late.

[BuckyRover]

Indifference reigns
