v Burnley (a) - 31/08/2024

[Mars Rover]

If Beck can also put in a half-decent cross in games where we're on the front foot, I'd have him over Pickering every time.

We should have signed Germain. We are very short up top.

It will need to be a change. Panache over, brute force and ignorance.

1-1 10 against 13 a good result 

[Dreams of 1995]

Owen Beck take a bow

Sky didn’t give him man of the match. That’s the 2nd biggest robbery today

I can’t excuse Big Maks stupidity, but that centre half should have been booked for that drag back. If the ref had booked him, Mak stays on

Ref gets a 1/10 for me

Owen Beck is a legend at Rovers

Congratulations to Burnley for holding on for a point! They needed a one-man advantage and for a legitimate goal to be ruled out, but still what a big result for them. 

Ha ha

Yet he scored a wonderful "goal" and forced a great save out of Trafford at the end.

He should have squared it to Weimann for a tap in, he should have laid it off to Travis at the end and he should have put a better through ball through to Ohashi.

He's a squad player - nothing wrong with that, he provides energy, but he's far too slow and wasteful with the ball.

[New Jeru]

Pears – 6 – Quiet afternoon.  Looked shaky early on but a couple of timely interventions despite not having any shots on goal to deal with in the second-half.  Booked

Brittain – 5 – Struggled at times, beaten for the Burnley goal.  Booked

Carter – 7 – Rovers most commanding presence at the back.  Booked

Hyam – 6 – Recovered well from suspect positioning for the Burnley goal.

Beck – 8 – Outstanding on debut, firm in the challenge and composed.

Travis – 7 – Hassled the Burnley midfield well despite first-half booking.  Showed good energy levels joining counter-attacks throughout.  Booked

Tronstad – 6 – Quietly efficient.

Weimann – 8 – Scored a wonder goal and his experience really showed as he got close to Gueye and helped Rovers gain a foothold in the game.              

Dolan – 7 – Goal disallowed, involved in a number of other Rovers attacks and defended well from the front.

Hedges – 6 – At times anonymous going forward, but pressured Burnley defenders and doubled up with Beck to defend against the pace of Koleosho.              Booked

Gueye – 4 – Arguably Rovers’ best player for an hour.  Won numerous physical battles and provided an outlet for Blackburn to escape the Burnley pressure.  Let his team down with the red card.  Sent off

Subs

Ohashi – 6 – Impressive workrate in the press and created a half chance late.

Baker – 6 – Brought on the firm up the midfield and did it well enough.

Duru – 5 – Came on late and didn’t really impact the game.

[Tom]

Superb point, finally something to celebrate in one of these games with that goal as well

Would have taken 1-1 this morning, would have definitely taken it after 10 mins, would have taken it at half time and definitely would have after an hour!

Resilience and fight shown in the end.

Cant see Parker seeing the season out, home against 10 men for 40 minutes or so and not any sustained pressure.

By the rules Gueye’s red is warranted (although I guarantee at least one other player would have broke those same rules in the match) but the referee was absolutely abysmal, there has to be some accountability 

[imy9]

Also Gueye- having seen it again, he was wagging his finger not waving for a yellow???

[Upside Down]

Good result considering the officials were doing everything they could to give the dingles the game.

Honestly, that reminded me of playing at old Trafford back in the day.

[Tugayisgod]

Ok, we may not be the best side in the world, but fuck me every man Jack of them sweated blood today. 

Can't ask for any more. The tide is turning 

COYB 💙🤍

[simongarnerisgod]

beck reminds me of warnock in the way he plays.looked a typical academy player when i first saw him,hence the doubt on my part

burnley with all ball but no idea in the final third

rovers done by shocking officials

hope they all have a great night out,it`s well deserved

Cracking team performance like that and some still single players out for criticism, it's beyond belief honestly.

I'd have him over Pickering full stop - Pickering can't cross.

[DackDackGoose]

bizarre refereeing, blowed for everything first 60 mins, then didn't give us a single foul for 20 (Ohashi could barely touch ball without being fouled) disallowed goal for no reason, gave us loads of yellow first half, didn't give them any 2nd half. We deserved most of them but still make it equal. unbelievable result really. I'd tail it a good start to the season.

Beck looks another good signing and not even seen attacking side of him yet. Him and brittain had very difficult games. 

Baker and Trav with good chances there too..

Think I heard the commentator say Weiman got it

Feels like a win, nothing else to say.

Enjoy the sun everyone.

I am a Eustace fan today, no way would we have drawn this game with JDT after we had a man sent off.

Well done to all the lads!

No way with JDT we’d have got a goal back. We all saw how we capitulated after conceded first under him

Wiemnann and Beck interview on sky. Must say Beck comes across a great young lad.

The game at Ewood will be like WW3 after that.

[Gamst]

Proud. 

[TugaysMarlboro]

Burnley were as quiet as they were because they put everything down their right and Beck absolutely gobbled up anything that came his way.

Someone said it earlier and it rings true, Warnock vibes.

[Norbert Rassragr]

Good result considering Alistair Campbell and Jimmy Anderson were the officials. Gives us hope for the reverse fixture.
