On the whole we where the better side, but they had big chances. That could have easily been 1-1. 

Or equally about 5-2 to us. Teams have chances, it happens

If thats Brereton's last game in a Rovers shirt I wish him all the best, great lad to have in the team.

Can’t argue with that. Tracking back to block the cross with 1 minute to go. Tremendous lad and would wish him well if he decided on a big move (would love it if he stayed and took the gamble with us this year)

[G Somerset Rover]

Dear God, Adam Wharton. We have one special, special player on our hands.

Fingernails are done, but worth it for those three points.

In fairness, we should have had 3/4 prior to them having their first shot on target.

Their GK was their MoM.

Wharton is like a new signing.

Yep, don’t need another signing in that area he’s already good enough.

[J*B]

Don’t forgot to vote Wharton as your MOTM in the match centre: https://brfcs.com/magazine/football/match/880797/blackpool-blackburn?tab=voting

JDT went over to Bowler and asked him if he was okay.

Thought it looked like he said "are you coming?"

He definately said something to him.

either told him to **** forest off and play  regularly here or was it warm in pickerings pocket

Could easily been 4-2 Rovers

Good result that. 

There’s only really one player I want to talk about, but I have to give Pickering credit after battering him lately. Did well tonight. Bowler a lot quieter than feared. Also really hope Brereton stays.

On to the main man though. Adam Wharton. Fucking hell. What a performance. Not only flawless, but absolute quality. We are witnessing a very very special player here.

Some really strange comments on here got to say 😂

We were dominant but because it was only 1-0 and with their chances at the end including the penalty I would say we rode out luck.

We need to finish teams off and be more ruthless, on a other day another team would have equalised...

Yes I hope they concentrate on wingers/fullbacks/CB's/strikers.

Styles would be good as he can play CM and fullback.

[jim mk2]

A much needed win to stop the rot but we rode our luck at times and should have put the game to bed long before Blackpool's late rally

Good to see Dack getting better as I admit I thought he was finished but the squad is still light of 2 or 3 players, in midfield and a full back who can play right and left. Travis is wasted at right back 

[Guest]

Isn't it interesting to see what happens when you have solid and capable centre backs, versatile and strong midfielders and game-changing front men? That was a very good performance all round from the Rovers and one I would like to see repeated throughout the season. 

JDT Blue and White Army!!

Just turned 18, what a championship debut

Kind of puts me off him that!

Though Wharton didn't let him play too, kept nicking it off him.

[roverandout]

Can't believe he only turned 18 in June 

[West Yorks Rover]

Let's be honest, We were the better team without a doubt, you have to expect any home team

to have a go in the last 10 mins, which Blackpool did.

[J*B]

Who’s got Sky? If so, rewind to that JDT/Bowler moment and record it for us?

[neophox]

JDT looked serious when talking to Bowler...

 

Maybe Bowlers play was affected with speculation surrounding him... cant say that on Breo who looked miles better than Bowler...

He was brilliant when he came on on Saturday too. We wouldn't have lost against Stoke if he'd played from the start.

JDT can't drop him for a more experienced player now. He's our best midfielder by a mile.

Scott must be proud of that.

[G Somerset Rover]

Wharton talking about how he’s Rovers born and bred, supports the club big time etc.

Tie the kid down tonight.
