v Hartlepool Utd (h) - Carabao Cup, 10/8/22
JPTSwindon replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Presume not on Sky / Rovers TV? -
Wonder if our very good start will see a flurry of extra ST sales?

v Swansea City (a) - 6/8/22
JPTSwindon replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Brilliant 3 points and performance. Exciting, pressing and the squad is shaping up nicely. -
Transfer Window - COMPLETE. Where’s Gregg?
JPTSwindon replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Really? What happened that triggered him being kept and given a chance? -
Thanks for sharing the minutes. Any of the other MP’s responded since the meeting?

v Swansea City (a) - 6/8/22
JPTSwindon replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Without the usual preseason to gel, I’d resist making any changes and keep the same starting XI. Plenty of options off the bench (inc any incomings) if we need to change things as the game develops. Excited for this one. -
v QPR (h) - 30/7/22

Hopeless isn’t it? Loose cable, how have they not noticed? -
v QPR (h) - 30/7/22

Great to see Vale got the nod! -
Transfer Window - COMPLETE. Where’s Gregg?

I was surprised Bradford didn’t pick up Davenport. 16 out, that will have lowered the wage bill a fair chunk. If we aren’t replacing some of the savings should be used to get fans into the stadium with some decent promotions. -
Yes, annoyingly so.

v QPR (h) - 30/7/22
JPTSwindon replied to simongarnerisgod's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I hope Vale is in the mix. The lack of signings, we are relying on a wildcard coming good and he clearly has an eye for a goal. 1-1. -
I have been getting grief from my Burnley supporting missus for their larger season ticket holder numbers. We should be doing better than we are, but clearly pricing is a factor.
-
Any Vanguard players?
-
I’d be willing to give him a go. 1 - He has done well when he has had to step in as Caretaker at Everton (yes I know only a handful of games) 2 - As per the quoted post, he has worked his way up, and knows how to develop kids (vital for us) 3 - He gives a damn, no TM sitting on the side hands in his pockets. 4 - Time Everton repaid us for Howard Kendall. 5 - He hasn’t (repeatedly) failed like the majority on the list. 6 - So what if he is cheap? Good.

v Birmingham City (a) - 7/5/22
JPTSwindon replied to roversfan99's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Nowt to play for… TM should start Vale, can’t stop scoring for Rovers U23s and Wales U23s (or U21s). Give us a chink of hope post summer comings and goings. -
v Bournemouth (h) - 30/4/22
JPTSwindon replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Well we were tonked today - gutted (especially with Burnley’s great escape in full flow) but at least it draws a line, we simply weren’t good enough. Had we won, we probably would still have missed out on the play-offs and we’d be agonising over all the Posh etc results… silver lining hey?! -
To be fair to the club / Venkys, they backed TM this season. Transfer windows we not only strengthened (at the time it seemed that way), but also resisted decent offers for Rothwell (maybe others?). TM has squandered that in the annual confidence sapped, tactical chaos, death spiral. Hopeless and uninspiring.

v Sheffield Utd (a) - 23/2/22 - Match Preview
JPTSwindon replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Another missed opportunity - felt like a play-off match, bits of quality, bits frantic, yellow cards flying. Despite ref calls going our way, but the oddity of Buckley sort of in a centre forward role, Gallagher out wide (and playing) etc - it wasn’t really any surprise we couldn’t score again. We could have had Vale on the bench, to at least have given us an option upfront. Lets hope it clicks on Saturday, we can’t slip up against QPR. -
v Middlesbrough (h) - 24/1/22
JPTSwindon replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
That will prove a big 3 points. Not just in the table, but after a run of patchy performances that will lift the team spirit / belief no end. Boro are a very good side, but were not given any space to settle. Great team performance, but for me Buckley’s vision and range of passing was a real joy. Big win. -
Wigan (a), FA Cup 3rd Round, 8/1/21
JPTSwindon replied to Admiral Nelsen's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Grew up in Kidderminster, such a shame this match was overlooked for TV or Red Button coverage. An amazing result. -
Wigan (a), FA Cup 3rd Round, 8/1/21

Not the first time he has had a nightmare. -
v Huddersfield (h) 02/01/22
JPTSwindon replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
How come ours seems to be the only non red button match? -
v Barnsley (h) - 29/12/21
JPTSwindon replied to slowmo's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
3 more points! Perhaps tougher than we hoped, but also showed we could tough it out after they snatched an equaliser. Who would have thought this is where we would end the year, especially after the Fulham tonking. As I’ve posted before, what is exciting is how many of the squad have come through the ranks, are young and firing on all cylinders. Just need the crowds to creep upwards! -
v Hull City (a) - 19/1/22
JPTSwindon replied to Aqualung's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Mad that LF tests weren’t done earlier, with the EFL then able to make a decision before everyone set of for the stadium. -
v Birmingham (h) - 18/12/21
JPTSwindon replied to roversfan99's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Two key differences from previous seasons… 1 - Settled side, allows for better cohesion / instinct. 2 - Great mix of players who want to play / impress. Exciting times!
