[Archived] Blackburn Rovers v Stoke City Preview

[Amo]

With Formica, Dunn & Pedersen the midfield is far too static. Looks like we're gonna try to play Stoke at their own game. Oh joy.

[DE.]

You can guarantee at some point Pedersen will gift the ball to an opposition player and they'll score from that, so we're going to need to score at least two to win today.

[Hekla]

Can see this being high scoring, anyone agree?

[jonv]

Dunn was dropped against United due to the birth of his baby daughter according to commentary...

[Nelsta]

Peter Crouch needs 1 more for his 100th.

[Miker]

What the (Please don't use that word again)?? Bunch of soft cocks Stoke are. Where was the foul!?!??!

[Rover Down Under]

Samba hits the bar from a corner then scores a legit goal which is ruled out for a non-existent foul.

[deftangel]

Samba penalised for being Chris Samba it would seem.

[BuckyRover]

Was Yakubu holding Sorensen? That was the only thing I could see

[Lathund]

The foul was for Yakubu holding onto Sörensens arm. Which he did, and that's a shame as the keeper would have been nowhere near it anyway.

[DE.]

Another ridiculous decision to rob us of a goal. It's unbelievable how poor the standard of officiating is in the self-proclaimed "best league in the world".

[Daremz]

The calculated Crouch goal. 0-1.

[hesfromburn]

oh dear! samba slips crouch scores! stoke with an undeserved goal. COYB!

[DE.]

Here we go turned a corner, have we lads?

[Exiled_Rover]

Back to defending our 18 yard box and getting ripped to shreds by the commentators. Brilliant(!)

[RibbleValleyRover]

Here we go turned a corner, have we lads?

Still plenty of time yet. Kean has never won two games in a row though...

[DE.]

April since we last kept a clean sheet. What's the betting this horrific record lasts an entire year?

[Daremz]

Last time we kept a clean sheet must have been at home to Villa, 1934/1935 season. 5-0 smashing, as we all remember.

[Hekla]

We are playing well, need a goal before half time.

[1mattjansen]

how can a 6ft4 serbian simply disappear when he gets on a football pitch?

[Uxbridge rover]

Commentators I'm listening to are so daming of rovers supporters really annoying. Whats happened to the club badge on the corner flags ?

[liam]

Last thing were bothered about is a badge on the corner flag

[martmitch]

I don't think I've seen us on top like this all season, unlucky to be loosing although it came from another weak clearance

[Lathund]

Stoke are really struggling to defend against set pieces. Hopefully that'll pay off soon.

[DE.]

Stoke will go 2-0 up.
