We played fantastic that day and i really thought we were going to win until their 2nd goal went in. Devasting to lose after leading a stronger team and outplaying them for some long and i think the team lost momentum after that otherwise we would definitely have secured a play-off spot. Part of me is still watching that effort from Gally (?) deep into the second half strike one post then roll along the goalline to strike the other. Should have known from then on we weren't destined to win! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StubbsUK Posted November 1, 2024 Share Posted November 1, 2024 Please be aware that the club now carry out ticket checks at all games at Ewood Park, including this Saturday's fixture against Sheffield United. Checks on all concession tickets in the three home stands will take place at the turnstiles ahead of the game. I assume I’ve got the Rovers version of this and that away fans don’t just get to buy whatever tickets they want. Instead of assuming everyone home fan is trying to cheat the club, why not look at WHY people are getting the cheaper tickets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that the club already know why, it's just that they don't give a fuck. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StubbsUK Posted November 1, 2024 Share Posted November 1, 2024 The previous head to head results don’t make for good reading… https://brfcs.com/magazine/football/match/1215987/blackburn-sheffield-utd But they were either Premier League in waiting or recently Premier League … oh wait.

Exiled in Toronto Mk2 Posted November 1, 2024 Share Posted November 1, 2024 Here we go, our 13th match in a row against top 6 opposition. Keep things tight with 9 at the back then throw on the other non-scoring forward to give it a roight good gew. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossydave Posted November 2, 2024 Share Posted November 2, 2024 Surprised Sky had any interest in this one, as a chap who likes a flutter I keep an eye on the both teams to score markets, 9 out of Sheff Utd's last 10 games, both teams have failed to score. I haven't watched loads of them this season but it points towards a relatively dull game, just need to make sure it's us that score, and Pears doesn't backheel one into his own net. As an aside, the standard so far in the championship this season seems to be the poorest it's been in many years. Watched Luton/WBA and despite 2 good goals it was pretty dire. Burnley have been absolutely shite this season yet look where they are in the league, I mean we too have been poor a lot of the time and same applies. Frightening to think 3 of these teams are going to be playing in the top flight next season 🤯 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're pretty fluid with what we play and not particularly wedded to anything. We've seen everything from 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3, 3-5-2 (5-3-2), 3-4-3 and 4-1-4-1 in games this season. 3-4-3 would actually be a decent fit with the personnel we have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frightening to think 3 of these teams are going to be playing in the top flight next season 🤯 I agree about the standard of football so far this season - not just Rovers. The last 4 games vs Plymouth, Swansea, WBA and Watford provided very little quality, excitement or entertainment from any of the teams involved. I thought Coventry looked decent but look how their season has gone so far ! Maybe the idea of 'staying in the game for 60 minutes' and then making a few like for like subs doesn't encourage exciting football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElTwis Posted November 2, 2024 Share Posted November 2, 2024 Dolan starts, I like him and he's a trier but I thought we looked better without him as the focal point given he just doesn't have the end product. I assume Brittain is still looking for full fitness to not be starting. Leonard will almost certainly get some minutes and who knows, if he scores today or even puts up a decent performance i think he's got a shot at becoming first choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
