[Archived] Blackburn Rovers v Stoke City Preview

[Ricky]

Stoke have been awful away from home which is a worry. Up to now only Swansea had scored less away goals. We've gifted them two of the easiest goals they'll score this season.

[Clitherover]

I hate Peter Crouch the lanky, ugly streak of ######.

[The Rover of Finland]

How can a team defend so well at Liverpool and Utd and then defend like this at home to bloody Stoke?!

This match wasn´t suppose to be 90 minutes defending like two previous matches. When Rovers open they game a bit our defence is crap. It starts from midfield which must be weakest in PL.

[Exiled_Rover]

blantant push on Henley by Crouch! Should have been chalked off, poor decision by the ref

That's ALL the ugly, lanky prick does. He's a cheat yet he gets away with it for some reason.

[booth]

Everyone here can see how we are totally lacking in pace in midfield apart from Steve Kean. What's the point in playing those tactics if midfield isn't covering the defence anyway?

[Rover Down Under]

How are we 2-0 down? Stoke have had 2 shots on goal! I despise that lanky git. Time for an epic comeback.

[BRFC1995]

Lowe as a full back is crap, pedersen has now quit his footballing job to become full time crap, and why newspapers make up such unrealic lies as N'zonzi being worth 7m i will never know

Only positives on the pitch are that we still have samba, henley looks tidy and yakubu looks sharp inside 18 yards them aside i could'nt give 2 sh1ts for the shambles of a team dear leader has assembled

[roverandout]

glad i didnt go now

[NeRvOuS Wr3Ck]

i knew this would happen i was starting to think we were going to start winning games after sats great win, looks like its back to earth for Mr kean

[bigbrandjohn]

Garth Crooks saw no reason why Sambas goal was disallowed

Peter Crouch is class. Would be a great fit for Rovers (which of course was never likely due to his price tag)

[The Rover of Finland]

Garth Crooks saw no reason why Sambas goal was disallowed

Me neither.

[Miker]

The second goal came from a stupid decision to take a short throw when Hanley and Samba went up, and then lose possession very quickly.

[martmitch]

this game is crying out for junior, we have no creativity going forward

[Uxbridge rover]

Thought you might have noticed they have not been there for months. Only saying!

Been away for 6 months mate.

[roverandout]

stoke should have had a 3rd, crouch should have gotten a hatrick.

[martmitch]

oh god here comes Wayne Rooney mk 2, time to step up mr goodwille

[Clitherover]

At least no one can blame the fans for losing today.

[BRFC1995]

chelsea just did us a huge favour need a norwich winner now

[bigbrandjohn]

Come on Badwillie. Open your legs and show your class

[martmitch]

commentator commending kean for not making a big deal of our injuries... err

[deftangel]

It's a Christmas for odd away results it would seem, Swansea are winning too. I knew we'd concede, thought we might get a couple ourselves though. Need to score next.

[Clitherover]

How futile do those long balls we keep trying into the box look.

[hesfromburn]

stoke giving a lesson on how to defend

goodwillie?? FINALLY THOUGHT THAT WASNT GOING IN!!!

You were saying?
