Done the player ratings and saw that Ribeiro, Dolan and Buckley were all way below (circa 6 ratings).

If you can't see that all 3 had very good games tonight, you either didn't watch the game or you have an agenda.

Yep all 3 were 7’s minimum 

[rock steady]

Genuinely wonder if Eustace was actually watching or not?

[DeeCee]

Didn't visit this thread after KO, scared tbh🥴 

Absolutely fantastic 💯💯💯 

Keep the Faith and fuck off Mowbray 🏆

[Ricky]

Only disappointing performance was ACD who looked lost when he came on. He’s not got a defensive mind at all so it was a poor choice to bring him on when we knew we would be under the cosh. Apart from that I’d say it was a perfect away performance. 

[chaddyrovers]

Fantastic win and much deserved. 

Proper team performance who were united and stuck together. 

Well organised and drilled tonight. 

The back 4 played so well organised and solid from them. Travis and Buckley played well and we witness a proper captain performance. Gueye outstanding, 2 very good goals, hold up play and link up player. Dolan very good and part of everything we did well. Weimann, good assist and Hedges did well. 

So proud of the players and the way they played for each other, stuck together and no weak link. Didn't down tools or feel sorry for themselves cos of what is going on. 

Well done to Lowe, Johnson, Sheron, Butler, Benson for taking the team and getting the players ready and motivated for the game. 

5th now. lets get 3 points on Saturday against Plymouth which will be a tough game cos they are flying under their new head coach but we can enjoyed tonight win. 

COYB!!! 🔵⚪

We really need to get this appointment right of a new manager!

They'll find a way to fuck it up. Best to just enjoy the small victories.

They were superb tonight, let's hope with Dolan it's not his 1 in 5 that he usually has, carry it forward to Saturday. Ribeiro looks like he's playing there for us all season, and Buckley's passes actually found their men tonight. 

That was a proper Mowbray performance from WBA though, gave me flashbacks. 

[KentExile]

Who had "David Lowe managerial masterclass" on their bingo card?

Or "Gueye turns into Drogba"?

Ribeiros not an loan. Permanent until end of season.

he needs to signed on for next season,a really good player,because there is no way we are signing beck unfortunately

[philipl]

Everybody played well.

Gueye was sensational box to box. He is a monster.

Rovers were extremely well organised and we kept a clean sheet thanks to the ref getting pissed off at Baggies antics at corners striking off an ok goal and the defence giving Pears full protection the way they did on the 6 game winning run

West Brom were as ineffective as I had seen watching halves of their previous two games.

[Ossydave]

When I saw the lineup I wasn't at all confident. 

Fair play I was wrong, although I do think Hedges was once again ineffective. Can't really fault anyone else although ACD really needs to man up. I get he's a young kid but he's dodging tackles like Tyler Morton used to in his time here.

Gueye was brilliant both ends of the pitch but he needs to be careful trying to win fouls and influence refs at times, as well as his flailing arms.

Everyone put a shift in and really proud of them all 💙🤍

Loving your new profile pic @chaddyrovers

Anyone grab a picture of Gueye’s heat map? It was ridiculous

I'm concerned with ACD that he's got some sort of "alleged" Tyler Morton-esque agreement in his contract that means he has to play a certain number of minutes. I would not be bringing him on in games we need to see out. 

[TheFinalCountdown]

2nd half performance was a joy. I still think we're short, but the effort and desire was far better than it's been in the last few months.

Gueye was extraordinary. His workrate deserves as much praise as his fine goals.

Travis and Hyam were warriors too. Everyone was 8 or 9 out of 10.

Fck the Venkys and Cross-eyed Steve.

[Cherry Blue]

Best game this season for Buckley. WBA are poor .

[WacoRover]

Just very grateful for a big away win; the clean-sheet, Gueye, Lowe, our Captain Travis, & in fact, all the players. 
never gave up, despite circumstances,

ARTE et LABORE!!! 

[Bohinen1983]

End of the day I am Blackburn Rovers fan. I'd rather see someone, despite adversity drag us back up .. Eustace, has gone. Decided Derby were a better shout, 'Bye, Bye;'... Bring in a top manager now and we COULD go up- Sunderland and Burnley are beatable with our new signings... We move on.  Venkys out- I hold that. But we must cease the opportunity.

Tell you what when we posted the video of the lads arriving I said they all looked defeated apart from Gueye 

Seeing them at the end there that looks like a team that is together 

it might have been the look of determination to prove a point, Gueye just like a fan who won a raffle to play

Terrible decision to bring him on instead of Kargbo or Dennis.

On the latter, I'm shocked he didn't get any minutes.

That was a well needed reminder that for all the sh!t which can be going on at manager, board and owner level, the lads who pull on the shirt can still make the biggest difference. And for some stick aimed at Lowe earlier in the day - the guy has a 100% win rate, I believe?! Good on him and the staff who took the team. Can't have been an easy couple of days.
