Tough one to call.

It's got 'banana skin' written all over it.

We just have to play with the determination that we showed on Saturday and everything will be okay.

I hope.

Maybe.

3 2 Rovers

least my prediction is still on ?

After an awful first 45 expect to see a better second half. We might pull one back but the damage has been done. 

Who's stepping up to get us back into the game though?

Really frustrated by Bell, not exactly the attacking wing back we were promised! Turns inside and passes backwards every time when there is acres of space down the left. 

[Jim Royle]

Actually the first ten minutes were quite good

then Lenihan makes a howler

then we concede from their second attack

then they think they’re Real Madrid and we just well er....

I think it is safe to say that we have no chance of getting back into this. Not with the players available 

Poor transfer window costing us points now.

Need to get Rothwell on the ball more, hit the post and had another effort that looked goalbound till Moore got his head in the way 

Can't see us getting back into this tho

I'm lost for words for quite how bad that was. Bennett and Lenihan (2 players I rate highly in our 11) have been so so shocking first half. Not seen any leaders out there first 45.

Armstrong rips Hull apart + Slow Reading defense playing a high line = Armstrong in the #10 position and 10 yards off DG. Huh.

Conway coming on, at least until proven otherwise is extremely bad management. I think we played better 1st half vs Oldham.

To think, after 10 mins we could have been 2-0. Then Bennett (pass), Nyambe (why didn't he simply head it to Raya), Lenihan (??) and Raya (!!) gift a goal. 

My Year 7B team don't make that many mistakes in a row.

You dread to think what they will be like during Christmas and the end of season run in. Word will soon get out to other clubs get stuck into Blackburn and they will drop like flies. Sadly other than Lenihan we don't have anyone else who likes to get stuck in.

I was going to add - they can't use the cold weather as an excuse. . . . .

Bennett wins the ball gets hacked down, gets back up and gives it to Smallwood who passes straight back to them  

....he never gives the ball away 

[Gogger]

Samuel coming on. Hopefully for Smallwood

[USABlue]

Samuel on, goodnight.

[Roboftherovers82]

we need least 4 quality signings i ideally like bauer/maddison/chapman/brereton

[Bigdoggsteel]

What was the sub, missed that 

[Butty]

Samuel for Smallwood, thanks for the memories Richie but tonight should be the last time you start a game for Rovers. King of Ewood 2017-2018.

I sense a goal ? 

[perthblue02]

4-1-3-2 formation now according to ifollow

 

[Roboftherovers82]

smallwood has been great sorry time he went no time to be loyal in football 

[Miker]

Have to say, despite being 2-0 down, most of our players have looked really good and you feel we will be okay this season. But certainly today has shown our lack of depth. 

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Pen

[Scotland1]

I mentioned Anichebe a while ago looks like he’s here tonight 

[Roboftherovers82]

IF we nick early goal 2nd half maybe we can get  draw

[perthblue02]

Rovers penalty

[Miker]

Penalty!! Come on!!
