It's in our own hands. it's in our own haaaannddss,

We're Blackburn Rovers

[Riversider28]

Good result. It's in our own hands now. 

[jim mk2]

Rovers a shoe-in for promotion after Cobblers reboot survival hopes by bringing Shrewsbury to heel ?

[robbojohnno]

Get in Northampton, cracking result! That Shrews player must be in for quite some ban for that UFC fighting!

[Oldgregg86]

That'll do nicely.

Shrewsbury hit woodwork

They must be the unluckiest team in this league!

Now it’s simple - win all our games and we go up 

[Cherry Blue]

Our better goal difference could be crucial.

We go again tomorrow  with Walsall v Wiigan. 

 

[rigger]

now all we have to do is win our 9 games and we are up.

Mission accomplished! Only took 2 games.  Now for Wigan!

In our own hands now which is all you can ask for. No excuses.

Thank you Northampton - huge result for us! Back in our own hands which is a good feeling. Lots of twists and turns to come, though.

Exactly I couldn’t agree more

[rovers11]

I would urge people to keeping backing Shrewsbury at the bookies - I backed them to win today and it seemed to curse them!

I make it only 12/5. I.e. £10 returns £34.

I started backing Shrewsbury before Saturday's fixtures. Put £20 on and got £55 back. The £35 profit will be rolling up on them tonight at roughly evens. 

Usually I can jinx teams a treat.

Thanks Rev we owe you. You could get player of the year at this rate!!

You know what - it could be a turning point.

Ill come back to you when they take the lead Saturday cause that could be a turning point 

[Rob1981]

That’s a good feeling. Top two without all the games in hand beneath us...

[jim mk2]

Northampton took 4 points off us so they owe us that one. Looked a hardworking decent side at Sixfields - surprised they're still in the bottom 4.

Hopefully this’ll give us at least a week’s respite from the regiment of Private “We’re doomed” Frazier’s on here, until we don’t win a game of course.

Neither us nor Shrewsbury will win nine in a row; we just need to win as many as them.

[Tom]

Shrews are pretty good at bouncing back but they need to prove that again.

Seemingly simple home game against Wimbledon at weekend but a draw would leave them still in second having played a game more - it’s become must win for them, hopefully their crowd gets edgy again

Even when its a good result for us, some people can't resist a pop eh?

We've got tomorrow to get through yet. If we stay strong we can do this.

Two of us, apparently.

Don't be negative, John.

[Bigdoggsteel]

Great result. They got a red as well. 

Does anyone actually know any of their players? Is your man that got sent off any use?

He’s their captain and best defender, also got sent off earlier in the season so a 4 game ban
