I don’t see Johnson, Bennett or Graham back next year. But, I don’t see youth rushing to claim spots, either.
-
17 shots, 6 on target, lol
-
Two guys who need quality outings today. Let’s see if they have it...
-
I would imagine if any team is ripe to be beaten, it’s Hull. Not so far. I expect to see young guys come on in 2nd half, might give us the oomph to finish them.
-
We have a great chance to get all 3 pts tonight; terrible disappointment if we don’t. Btw, Waco weather is very similar to Blackburn’s right now.
-
Rovers were competitive vs. Fulham... a strong side, with the best scorer in the Championship in Mitrovic. I expect the team to be the same vs. Hull. Defending wasn’t bad at all. Sans Dack, Holtby, & Rothwell, scoring will be difficult. I see no reason to play Gallagher. Give the other youth a try.

Home V Fulham 08/02/2020
WacoRover replied to Bigdoggsteel's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Yes, very tough scheduling the rest of the way. From those seven, with the injuries we have, I could see us get eight points, no more. If we get Rothwell & Holtby in a reasonable time, maybe more. TM certainly has his work cut out for him. -
Home V Fulham 08/02/2020
WacoRover replied to Bigdoggsteel's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Nice memories, m1st! i would be elated with a point vs Fulham- I know it’s at Ewood, we need 3’s, not 1’s, etc. it’s still a top side, with top talent. We’re a beat-up squad, struggling to find a healthy 11. 2-2, Cairney gets one, assists the other. Out of all the players we lost the last few years, he’s the one I miss most. -
We were really fortunate to get a point today. M’bro dominated the last 20 or so minutes. Still, we’re 7-5-2 in our last 14. Not bad, I reckon.
-
I am encouraged by the 1st half. I like our subs, too.
-
Very satisfying win today. Great team effort, and Mowbray has to have a huge, sloppy grin on his face!
-
Owls’ fans having a few words, I bet
-
Blissfully happy...!!!!
-
Very nice; Holtby comes through!
-
Agreed. It appears he’s not fit for this one.
-
A point is a point. At times, it seemed like Rovers would take all 3. But in the final result, we score early like always, and then have to fight like two possums in a sack to keep the point. Future schedule is tough, as well.
-
Agreed, Wood26, this is a huge game. I don’t care what is said about this not being a rivalry. PNE has owned us in recent years. A win does so many things- not only do we defend our house, but we can breathe a bit easier for another year. Without dingles or Bolton on the schedule, this should be the most anticipated game of the season.
-
Great video, thanks!
-
It will take a remarkable turnaround to get all 3 points vs PNE. When we were soundly beaten at QPR after losing Lenihan & Cunningham, it took Tony a few games to get the squad squared away. The 5 games after QPR, we took only 4 points out of a possible 15; the next 8 games, we took 18 out of 24, only allowing 5 goals in those 8. Losing Dacky is a terrible blow; but TM’s history suggests he is capable of righting the ship. But, the games don’t get any easier after PNE, either.
-
Unbeaten in 8, then we lose Dack. He should have to the end of the season. Who can replace him without Dacky and do any better?

Bristol City (A) - Bradley Dack's Christmas Break
WacoRover replied to a topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I won’t pass judgment until we see some play; it’s unconventional to say the least, but if Tony makes no changes (other than forced ones), some would say he’s stale, predictable, etc. The guy will get the back of the hand, no matter matter he does. He deserves some credit for 16 pts in the last 21, when most everyone was sizing up new managers by Boxing Day. -

Start Holtby. Evans stays in the 11. Get as many minutes as possible from DG and Downing; if they are knackered, Armstrong & Bennett. Not a great many other options. Tony may surprise us! -

Armstrong assisted DG’s goal... he’s sometimes useful, but remarkably inconsistent -

I’m really pumped about our squad and recent form. Even without Graham and/or Downing, a draw would be nice, a win would be cause for dancing in the streets. Time for Rovers to make history at Liberty Stadium! -

This team is rolling. Tony has it figured out, his personnel decisions have been so wise. Barring injury, the same 11.
