[Archived] Watford v. Blackburn Rovers preview

[yoda's brother]

I didn't realize there was a difference?

i was being kind

[TurkishDelightFan]

I won't be discussing it with you any further in this thread, as it's pulling it way off topic. PM me if you're that upset about it, otherwise just move on pal.

Okay, I respect that.

[watford-rover]

anyway shall we get this thread back about todays events?

who saw the 3 girls sitting near the isle about 10 rows up, blinding!!

Normal service resumed then. I just bought a house I think I'll spend the rest of the season working on it.

Just back and I'm still scratching my head to try and understand why we looked quite solid, kept our shape and generally did the right things in the first half and did the complete opposite in the second half. Bowyers use of Best on the right in the first half surprised me as he just doesn't have the discipline or desire to track back. In the second half he was the worst of a very bad bunch. I can't honestly remember seeing a more ineffectual performance from a Rovers player. We actually cheered when he was sent off.

I am normally a glass half full man where Rovers are concerned but on the evidence of the second half I can't see us getting any more points.

Writing was on the wall prior to half- time though eh? Aimless balls lofted up-front, losing possession, ball constantly in our half, corner after corner? We are not in the same league as a top 6 side and that's about to become official.

9/10 Would bang.

[darrenrover]

Why do you say I'm a Dingle? Just because I didn't mind Kean? Thats very narrow minded of you.

I cannot believe you're all rising to this.

FFS Turkish, either post something sensible or just feck off.

We ROVERS fans are hurting enough already without being wound up by inane comments.

Turkish, What's your degree course in, is it vocational? is it geared to a career?

If its either of the above, you should have more sense, if it's not then it figures. Best of luck in the real world along with thousands of others with similar qualifications that in reality mean @#/? all.

[adsfortheblues]

On the way to the local me and my mate said, "so Watford have been beaten by some really poor sides recently, so that's easily a 4-0 defeat for us today" wish I'd have put some money on it. Didnt even realise slug got sent off.

[broadsword]

I'm a Blackburn fan! .

A real Rovers' fan would know to say that they were a Rovers' fan.

Subtlety value - zero.

Fed up of this crap cut it out

[Mike E]

Leave the turkishdelight alone guys. Yes he appears to have a few brain cells missing when talking about kean but you're overdoing the cynicism here. By the law of averages there's bound to be one fan out of many thousands that 'didn't mind kean'.

It's less inane than the knobheads who regularly try to 'start summat' outside Ewood.

Mike just tell me that we are @#/? please

What you going unabout now

[Tom]

Just removed 50 posts bickering about whether some randomer is a rovers fan or a dingle in disguise completely engulfing and hiding good posts about the game like from ParsonBlue above

[rovermagic]

Said it when Kean went - wee Dougie was the man and as I understand it, he was on a list of Rovers' possibles !

[rovermagic]

A lot of us said wee Dougie the man. Infinitely better than Holloway.

Today we drove to Watford. Great turnout from our fans. Surely 2k. In full voice, singing the Givet song. Given this support, the players were a disgrace. And the fans were furious with the players. Best and King stood out as the worst. Prob only Williamson scraped a 5. Best and King (and Dunn) left Olsson and Kane totally exposed. Watford not only pressed up the pitch, but their technique was so much better than our players. They ran off the ball and passed. Dann was pants. What a crap captain, naming himself to shoot from indirect free kick. Dunn kept giving ball away in dangerous places. Olsson so bad he thinks it's a success to give away a corner when opposition crosses. We only had one corner all game. Best has big biceps but that's about all. Can't run, can't jump, won't tackle, can't score, no technique. Spineless. But maybe worse was lack of quality. How could Appleton have dumped our by far most creative player. Maybe a proper manager - if we stay up - could tempt him back next year. Worst of all though was how badly the players let down the fans.

2k ? Try 750.

[Mr. E]

Rhodes - ok.

But the rest of this trash? I don't want to see a single one of them in a blue and white shirt next season. Wastes of oxygen.

[arbitro]

Thought the lack of right winger didnt help today along with the team not seemingly being supportive of one another which seemed clearly evident that it was easy to score against without the Watford team having to burst a gut to do so.

As for Rekik and Best how bad did these two look today along with Jones during that second half.

I can't believe that Boywer brought Rekik on as a centre back ahead of Bradley Orr. Orr isn't the greatest by any stretch of the imagination but he would have put a foot and has some fire in his belly which is more than any others have. We should have kept the yellow kit from last season because that is the colour that sums up so many of our players.

Last season I saw two promising young centre backs play for the Youth Team and I was really impressed. I actually thought that we have two Phil Jones' in the making. Instead we have a useless, immobile excuse for a footballer on loan and he will be costing us a lot of money. In a similar vein where is Bentley?

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

The sooner we are safe and this utter disgrace of a season is over the better.

Avoiding relegation to the third tier of football is now seen as a result,like I say..what have we become.

Shameful.

wee Dougie is working miracles down the other end of the 666. I wonder how many Bolton based Rovers fans will be watching them next season,it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. I know a few and their coats are turning already
