Academy & U21s

Lend 3 of them to Stanley in return for the loan of Dean Windass' son?

@Samlavelle5: Absolutely gutted the Under 21 cup game away at Burnley is behind closed doors! Hopefully I'm fit for this one cannot wait already👊🏼⚽️

[Baz]

stupid decision, although was there not some problems at Ewood with the away fans when we played them in the youth cup?

At worst make it tickets only, and only if you're on the database.

There was a few handbags outside at both games and at the train stations I think, doubt it was anymore than some ordinary league games. That was with 10k plus crowds and away followings of 2800 & 1200. What would this match draw ? 3 or 4K all in ?

I think the real issue is Police resources thanks to budget cuts and a lack of overtime. You may not have realised it, nor believe it, but the Burnley game a couple of weeks back had the lowest number of police on duty for that game for many years.

A great pity for the under 21's as it should be a great game.

How's Hyuga Tanner doing these days big thing seemed to await him last season when his agent put out that there was premiership interest in him.

I dont think Tanner has done anything in the past season or 2

Did Rittenberg play for Chorley today ?

Came on with 4-5 mins left when Chorley where 3-1 up against 10 men.

Is he not good enough to start for Chorley?

He's only been there a few days, give him a chance.

[Madon]

Marcus Carver, a striker from Accringtons loan has just finished today at Chorley. I suspect Rittenberg will be his direct replacement.

As I haven't seen similar on the Rovers site here goes ................ and may my God forgive me:

Monday’s U21 Premier League Cup Third Round tie between Burnley and Blackburn Rovers is being played behind closed doors. Kick-off for this game is 1pm.

Dingles via their Site are doing a full match FREEVIEW later on Monday.

[Madon]

Rovers vs Burnley is on now, I had no idea until I was browsing my twitter feed.

Come on Rovers!

[Madon]

1 - 0 to Burnley

[JHRover]

Burnley playing recognised first teamers in Marney and Long. Only Mahoney and Forrester have made very brief appearances for our first team (not including keepers).

[JAL]

See Hyuga Tanners playing today

[oldjamfan1]

1-1 after 78 minutes

[Madon]

Extra time 1 - 1

[LJW]

1-2 Rovers

[Reedy You're A Star]

Apparently Tomlinson's smashed in a 30 yard stunner. Good on him! Was it him that was in and around the first team in pre-season?

[Butty]

Mahoney scores, 3-1 rovers!

Yes it was the lad who scored against Wigan, a similar goal today by all accounts

[Madon]

Full time 3 - 1.

Well done lads, a few first teamers in that Burnley side as well. Tomlinson looked brilliant in pre-season and Mahoney has been getting great reports from the U21s and surely must be on the verge of a call up to the first team?

A result to bring a little much needed cheer.

Don't hold your breath re Bowyer picking any of them.
