Armstrong first minute. Remind me anything in between before our first goal? I did see them crack the bar at 0-0

Johnson's header.

Honestly mate - I know this is patronising, but I think you should probably try and switch off from the football for a bit.

Your right it is patronising. I wish I could switch off until mowbray was away. Groundhog Day , mid table cloggers. Know what game this was last season. Millwall, beat them 2-0, we were horrible

It's been an absolute hiding on stats. And not far off in reality.

The way we play can make even dominating performances seem quite mundane, but if we win then it doesn't really matter. With that said Hull are suffering even worse than we are with injuries and are bottom of the form table, and it's clear to see why. Probably the worst team we've played at Ewood this season - so, whilst it's nice to see us run out comfortable winners I'm a bit wary as to how we'll perform against better teams. I don't think there are that many goals in the current team despite tonight's scoreline, aside from Armstrong (although he missed a fair few tonight before finally scoring with a belter). 

Mid-table is still my prediction for the season but it's nice to see us put a team to the sword as it doesn't happen very often, so I'll enjoy this scoreline regardless.

Straight at keeper

[Russ]

Nice cameo from Buckley, calm and composed, some neat touches, and strong in a few challenges. Certainly didn't look as lightweight as some keep saying.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Good win that.  Superb by Armstrong

Hull were absolutely terrible. But we played well and totally dominated. I'll take it.

Think I'll get a ticket for Charlton.

Never tell me Rovers fans aren’t behind Brereton, encouraging his every touch.

Not vintage at times but overall the quick fire goals reflected the game, it was always going to be easy once we scored 

Arma and Nyambe a class above the rest 

Suddenly Armstrong is a £10m man

[Roboftherovers82]

Charlton had a decent win tonight so they will be up for it this weekend 

[benhben]

Bennett on 0-0. Bennett off 3-0. Just sayin...

Good result given the players missing. think we looked alright with a straight 442. Armstrong or Travis mom for me. 

Poor old Ben cant buy a goal. Keeper passes it to him inside the penalty area and it still bounces off his shins and gets tackled.

Another who doesn’t go perhaps ? 99 percent of being a fan is sitting there in the cold . When I was little I could have been inspired by some fancy club from exotic climbs .. but my dad took me to the Rovers

Someone on here is giving one away

[Trinidad Rover]

We've just beaten a team 3-0, got our 10th clean sheet, are 8th in the table and 3 points behind the playoffs. With our 3 best technical players not on the pitch.

Let's just enjoy it.

That escalated quickly.

Edit I don’t mean you I mean the Other guy 

[Mr. E]

And out of nowhere AMA smashes in the goal of the season. Such a beautiful, beautiful goal. 3-0 is an amazing score with half our first team out - but how bad are Hull exactly? Well taken goal by Samuel too, he gets some flack but at the end you need a striker who can find the back of the net. This is a night to savour.

I’m a 7 hour drive away and have work in the morning, so no I couldn’t get down tonight but do regularly attend Ewood , what’s your point?

Yes, beat Forest at Forest who beat Leeds at the weekend. A real trap this one.

Agree Armstrong and nyambe are class. Strange how many fans still whine about Armstrong yet his stepped up with goals since dacks injury. That's 9 goals and 6 assists for Arma.

We are but put it in context ... I was sat behind my riverside pillar.  I guess you are in Trinidad . You live football  

[davulsukur]

It's going to be a crying shame when Venkys flog Travis for something like £3m to a team like Brentford, only to watch him move on for good money.

[Tugayisgod]

Anybody still wished we'd signed Maddison? ?

Sorry if you see my other post I was agreeing with you it was badly worded , I felt you had valid points 

[Torgeir]

Thoroughly deserved the win tonight. Seemed to ebb off at the start of the second half, and I can't say I agreed with the Graham/Samuel substitution. Fortunately Lenihan managed to grab the opener and it was floodgates after that.

For me Johnson slows our game down too much at time, think he's a bit on and off and a bit frustrating to watch at times. Bell falls asleep too and costs us in the build-up, while Bennett is limited but is a good player for his workrate. Travis and Downing are real quality, Travis has benefited tremendously from playing alongside Downing it feels like.

 

What a screamer from Armstrong. Only thing missing was a goal from Brereton, other than that it was a good night of football. Two tough away games awaits but we're there lurking at the play-offs.
