Yes, I lol’d at these. Turn up and we win, ha ha. Tony’s recruitment of nice, easygoing lads is well known. I wish we could get dirty & maddog mean on occasion.

SamG has scored twice in the last three games, BB has scored twice in the last four. I don’t think even the most optimistic of us expected this kind of production. Arma with four in the last four- but the good news, it’s not all about Armstrong scoring, if we want to win. I think my favorite stat is 3 goals allowed in the last five. If we can keep that going, we will win a bunch more than we lose and tie the rest of the year. Trying to stay positive...

Right on, JH, with Arma Leading the charge & the goal diff, the expectation should be one of seize the moment, the future is now. I have to question: If Bournemouth, Norwich, & Watford have the quality rosters in the division, surely Rovers must be close by. Fully healthy (which hopefully we see soon) Rovers have as solid a 11 & bench as any in the Championship. Its this year... no excuses remaining.

I have been impressed throughout our plague of injuries, Mowbray has managed to put midfielders out that have been productive. We haven’t had arguably our two best (Dack & Travis) yet we’ve managed to stay afloat. This game is tremendously important- it comes after a run of points, it’s at home (not very meaningful during the pandemic), and it is before a couple of tough roadies. Rovers have played like a team seeking a playoff place, I expect them to do it again Wednesday.

Great work to get all 3 pts today. This team may very well accomplish even bigger things this year, if we can count on Sammo & BB to keep scoring on occasion.

Great lineup. Have to expect points today!

We’ve taken 8 out of 12 points from the last four fixtures. When we were full hospital ward, the five games before, we took only 3 points from 15. With guys coming back, Tony can choose a very strong 11, & Rovers have what appears to be one of the best benches in the Championship. With our next two at home, against two teams below us on the table, we really need to get all six. Especially, with #3 & #6 (Brentford & Bristol) both away the next two games.

Wonderful win. After getting just 3 pts in 15, we’ve now won 8 of a possible 12. Well done, Tony & lads!

Dolan, how sweet it is!

I feel it... Elliott gonna score

Big Ben

That’s so Dolan can come on and get the winner!

It will be that much more rewarding when he & Dolan come on to team up for the late winner!

Someone says Cassandra, all I can think about is Cassandra Peterson (aka, Elvira). wish I could post her pic...

I will take a point, it’s progress. Disappointing, nonetheless.

Anybody have money on Sam scoring today!? ?

Downing

Rovers Finally started winning possession, still struggling to get a shot on goal. Defending not bad.

Struggling with this ref

I’m looking forward to seeing what this lineup has today; Elliott is on a pace to average a goal/assist a game, he’s fun to watch, BB improving, JR-C is the man who seemingly can play anywhere, etc. Get a point today... that would definitely be an improvement over last season.

So, if Douglas & Bell are back in training, can we expect to see JR-C at left back?

We loved our visit to Ewood. The club treated us like royalty- two middle-aged Texans allowed to ramble all over the ground, dressing rooms, managers suite, 1875 boardroom, & hospitality area. I couldn’t have asked for a better trip... unless Simon Garner or Derek Fazackerley had been on hand to guide us!

Last fall when the wife & I visited the Madejski (sp?) to see Rovers play, the bus dropped us off in basically an industrial park- Costco, etc. there was one little strip of green we walked to the stadium. Looked too much like many of our American grounds.

I’m reading Johnson, Douglas, & Bell. It’s a start...

Exactly, it would be nice to keep ‘em separate.
