[Archived] Blackburn Rovers v Sheffield Wednesday Preview

[Proudtobeblue&white]

How many Wednesday fans? I had no desire to go back after Wolves, is that figure realistic?

[hesfromburn]

Rochina just doesnt do enough as a team player in this posistion in this fomation, but its not just him, good 1st half but poor, poor second half.

[Oklahoma]

Nuno Gomes would be quite useful now. He knows how to keep possession and control a game...

[perthblue02]

true we seem, to have gone off the boil when Dunn went off, not said that too many times over the last few seasons

Black clearly doesn't rate him, has he played once under him?

Fanny Murphy coming on for Kazim

1500 or just over.

[Clitherover]

Sounding a bit better, hope we hang on for a clean sheet.

[hesfromburn]

If Rochina was less trigger happy/selfish and opted to pick a pass as his first instinct he would be so dangerous and in turn the team.

[perthblue02]

5 mins added time to cling on

[Clitherover]

Where the hell did he get 5 minutes from?

[alexanders]

Orr concede a stupid free-kick.

[perthblue02]

phew, 1-0 will do

[Clitherover]

Clean sheet and back into the playoff spots again, can't argue with that.

Thanks for the 3 points Eric but hope we get a new man in by Saturday.

[DE.]

Well, we scraped a win against a team in the relegation zone. It's something. Praying a new manager is in by Saturday.

[Kingstonians]

That'll be Flitcroft then.

[perthblue02]

Does seem to be a continuation though, once plan A goes out the window (Dunn injured) there is no plan B

SSN, strong rumors about flitty to be manager

[Clitherover]

I'm just thankful that we won, could have quite easily gone tits up. We've now shortened the gap at the top and are up to fifth.

SSN, strong rumors about flitty to be manager

Oh dear.

They've taken the odds off the page on oddchecker, but the last thing I saw was Flitcroft second behind McKinlay before it refreshed.

A welcome win,up to 5th now in this p1ss pot of a league!

Only around 12,000 home fans..apathy rules.

no its because the owners rule

[Hekla]

Flitcroft? You have to be joking. Good player but a non league manager!!

TBF it's a step up from our usual stance of the candidate not needing to be a manager at all.

[Mike Graham]

Just got home: what a dreadful, dreadful dire game of "football".

We were the pits, no desire, no skill and no quality. This will not bring the fans back....it was pitiful.

As for a 13,700 gate you are having a laugh, more like 11,000. I doubt if there were many more than 800 in the Jack Walker Upper.

Sorry, we were sh!t.

[Tom]

Well a win was all that was important tonight so we will take it, we sat back again though and the wingers were terrible, Olsson in particular barely tried at all, really unacceptable

One positive is how few goals we have conceded since Kean left
