Fuck sake even your lineup accounts for Pears terrible positioning 🙂

You’re absolutely right, I should not only give up my free time to run this but should financially support it too. If you don’t like the ads you’re welcome to replace the funds they generate: htt

People wanted to give it Lowe, this is exactly why you don’t do that  Abysmal

We ain't burying our heads in the sand but we don't need to keep going on and on every day about it FFS. No we don't RF99. 

 

Why would we not keep going on about who the new Blackburn Rovers manager might be on a Blackburn Rovers message board?

Seems like that's exactly what we would do?

The wheels are bound to come off at some point, and a trip to Swansea isn't something to take lightly. I don't think the players can do the 'Dougie Sandpit*' poker face thing this weekend, to lull our opponents into a false sense of security, entering the changing rooms with glum faces as if the world was coming to an end.. So, we will have to go with the full-scale let's do this plan based on what we are actually capable of, building upon our relatively miserly defence, and our new-found confidence in front of goal.

It has been said that we have key players coming back into contention, which I suppose does increase our strength in depth, but I think we need to be careful to maintain the momentum with the players that have delivered so wonderfully in the two post-JE contests so far. The only rider to place on that would be that normally there would be a 'head coach' through whom selection decisions would be made, and as many have pointed out, we are down several in number in the coaching department, and have only a temporary figure head in place to marshal the troops. It is possible, of course, that a more democratic 'player-led' movement has sprung up, and that the team is self-selecting based upon the professionalism, commitment and desire to win of the current group.

So, on to Saturday's fixture. What might we expect?

Swanning into town like we own it? Swansea 0 Rovers 2

Swansong for the backroom boys? Swans 2 Rovers reversed 0

'Swan more notch on the bedpost as we charge towards playoff glory? Dead birds 1 Wilderbeasts from the North 4

I'm going for a conservative draw - either a mutual lock out, or both sides landing punches.

Whatever happens, I hope the players continue to give it all for the Rovers cause - it is a long time since we had a feeling of such togetherness from the team, and long may it continue!

COYB!!

Yeah the ownership issues at the club clearly have nothing to do with our manager leaving, the search for a new manager and the likely obstacles to getting someone half decent in.

Entirely separate and not worth mentioning.

I'd like us to go for it in this game, get into them from the off and keep their spirits down. Would go for a similar team to last time but play Buckley and Kargbo instead of Forshaw and Cozier-dubery with Dolan on the right as that's where he seems most effective. Would like to see Dennis get some minutes at some point.

The wheels did 'come off' previous to the following last two excellent performances. 

Be positive for Christ's sake.

It's a win this for me. The lads know their jobs now, they've everything to play for. We're in the top 6and there's no better motivation than that right now. I don't  think not having a manager is going to play too much of a part in their performance, they've got a good guy there in David Lowe clearly well respected by the lads and makes the effort more rewarding. Let's have them

What?

Why wouldn't we discuss any of that? It's a message board for discussion about Blackburn Rovers.

You don't half come out with some total codswallop.

Speaking of which. Any update on who the new manager is?

 

Wonder if he will be in the terraces watching over us and claiming his first victory like JE did last year

He won’t be in the stands Neil he’ll be in the dugout. They are dragging it out long enough to be able to give it to Lowe until the end of the season.
