HOOOLD

Clever play there from Bennett

[CD_93]

God this is painful. What a draw it could be.

[AdamRochina]

Why didnt we just stick armstrong on the half way line? and keep dack back?  just hoof it for him to chase? hes faster then there cbs?

Phew, all things considered a good point.

[G Somerset Rover]

Wow what a stint from the boys to grab a point. 

[JacknOry]

Well, just a standard Saturday afternoon then.

A point would have been good with 11 so it’s superb with 10 and a midfielder in goal

2 Good penalty shouts turned down. We've deserved 3 points in all honesty.

[JBiz]

Jay Rod I hope that was an accident you dingle moron. Get well soon Raya, looked a broken nose blood everywhere.

As for the rest - I can’t quite believe we’ve held on. I believe we would’ve won if we’d kept 11 men, the game changed second half. Still though after that - what a point.

[Husky]

WTF? LOL! I'm not watching that again ?

[matt83]

Under the circumstances good draw. I was worried going into the 8th minute of the 5

[Doaksie]

That was a real test of character for these boys. Not that we needed the reminder, but that was a clear indication of our togetherness. Fantastic spirit. Not enamoured with the line-up, but in the book, a point is decent.

[Blue n whites]

Well done boys. Keeps us in and around the playoffs. Some winnable games coming up. 

[chaddyrovers]

Good point considering the situation we were in. 

Mulgrew and Raya big injuries if long term. 

Thought we won win after Reed's goal. 

We have a great team spirit between the players and fans and Mowbray..

[Blue blood]

Makes me think a centre back in the window and a big lump of a striker to hold the ball up (which is a contribution Graham does that is as invaluable as his goals) is needed.  Hindsight is a wonderful thing, although the centre back situation wasn't that surprising. 

[Mercer]

Tony got his tactics spot on.

In Tony we trust.

Fantastic point all things considered.

 

[davulsukur]

Madness that we came away with a point after all that. 

Lets just hope the injuries aren’t bad

[Husky]

Just noticed, the 'bouncers' at West Brom are a bit  thuggish and unprofessional aren't they? Saw a Rovers fan get bundled out for celebrating the goal.

Just replayed it , and from the camera angle on ifollow ,goes over the top of raya and looks like a trailing foot , does look accidental

If you'd offered me a draw after seeing that ridiculous starting line up I would have snapped your hand off, so can't complain.

We are so screwed if Raya is injured though.

[garnersfags]

I don't agree that a point was a good result (before the game).

West Brom were there for the taking, as shown by their nervous showing in the 2nd half, before our goal.

Mowbray went for a point, and got a point, but for me, these are the games we should be targeting for 3 points(if all the post-Leeds euphoria is to be believed).

Of course, I was dancing with relief at the final whistle, our spirit is not in question. 

I think the story is our 1st half no show, as predicted by many on hearing our line-up. 

[bigbrandjohn]

Tony makes head scratching team selection bold moves. God bless him. Away point is a great result. We are mere mortals. 

[moerpho]

Never say DIE! This lot....what to say....this would've been like 3-0 or 4-0 under Kean/Bowyer/Coyle/Berg....take your pick from the dross of Venky's managers. 1-1 against West Brom away without strikers, our best defender gone after 15 min and close to 15 min (I think?!) with Richie effin Smallwood in goal?!?! That is absolutely amazing and I'd dare anyone to say they would have done a better job with this squad of players. Not since Hughes (of old) have I seen such a manager at Blackburn Rovers. Keep us in the division with a squad full of League One-players and you should be made a knight by the Holy Board of BRFCS know-it-alls, Tony. A knight....really....?

Oh....and COYB!!!
