[Archived] Rovers v. Norwich City; 21/4/2012

[Rovermatt]

Absolutely LOVING the chants of "we want Venkys out" coming across loud and cleer on R5L- great effort by most in the ground by the sounds of it!

Idiot summariser on the feed I'm watching suggesting that such "negative influences don't help."

[doctorryan]

Wow! Lucky let-off there.

[thenodrog]

All I can hear on 5 live is:

'We want Venkys out'

100 very loud singers no doubt.

Steve Kean..... "I heard no chants" will make good TV on MoTD.

[Tango]

How Norwich haven't scored in the last 5 mins, who knows.

Think the scoreline rather papers over the fact we've still played pretty poorly today. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh, but that's how it's felt from my perspective.

Like they'll even mention it.

Just more *fapfapfapfap* Oh Steve, How do you do it? *fapfapfapfap*

[Tango]

Looks like the Norwich defender should have been sent off there...

[hollowsr]

From BBC:

Alistair Magowan reports from Ewood Park: "Norwich have made changes to try and wake up after Junior Hoilett's thunderous blow, and Aaron Wilbraham and Ryan Bennett have just gone close to scoring. Blackburn fans have just reminded their team that they have worries on a wider scale than relegation as the majority of the stadium join in chants of 'we want Venky's out'.

Swansea and Fulham both hit the woodwork within seconds on each other. We could really do with at least one of them getting all 3 points!

[Rovermatt]

3 subs? Christ he had to clear that with India during half time didn't he.

[jim mk2]

Can anyone explain the substitutions ?

[bigbrandjohn]

Petrovic on for Hoilett

[Devon Rover]

Can anyone explain the substitutions ?

Just sounds like taking off those carrying injuries/ lacking fitness. A couple of those coming on are pretty gash really, aren't they?!

Wigan just gone behind. Rovers winning, Bolton drawing. Need Spurs to hammer QPR next....

[lsp82]

2-1 fulham:-)

[jim mk2]

To be honest Norwich have dominated most of this match. We still look a poor outfit.

A typical "Kean win", then.

[Robin]

MotM Givet.

[jim mk2]

Givet named man of the match ..... comment please Mr Kean.

And another thing: what value does Modeste bring to the squad ? He has concrete instead of feet in his boots.

[Aberdeen Blue]

YES!!!

[Rovermatt]

Credit to the player for a solid performance. Hoilett's goal was fantastic.

Credit also to Kean for calling in whatever favours he could to get authorisation for Givet's selection and three substitutes.

Who selects the Man of the Match? Giving it to Givet was inspired.

[doctorryan]

Thank You Fulham!

[Robin]

Tottenham must tonight!!!

[Miker]

What a fantastic night. Saw my favorite comedian, my favorite local band perform their last show before they move to England and to top it off we get an important win and a clean sheet to boot. Better keep drinking!

[Lathund]

The most surprising thing about today wasn't the win, or the clean sheet, but that I actually thought Petrovic played well when he came on. Won some challenged, made interceptions, accurate passing. Of course that was just a short cameo in a game we had won, but for Petrovic to do anything well is remarkable, no matter the circumstance.

[Devon Rover]

Pleased with the result. During the week I became pretty convinced we would lose this.

Live to fight another day... but will still need to beat Wigan and get something at Spurs/Chelsea to have a real chance. I'm still struggling to see those things happening.

Good result though.

[Lurid Coat]

Which is why I find little pleasure in this result, sadly.

Kean out, Venky's out.
