I always enjoy your previews & reviews. Good work, thanks!

Rovers’ D has allowed three goals the last five games. I trust our defending more than ability to score. I think we can reasonably expect a low scoring affair. Charlton are 11th in goals (41), 15th allowed (45). We are 8th in goals (46),10th allowed (38). It will be a supercharged, fun place. I expect 1-1 or 0-1.

Looking at our numbers, sitting in 8th, 3 pts off playoff places, with Dacky, Holtby & Evans out, Cunningham gone, and getting 11 pts from the last 18 possible, I’m just enjoying this right now. Not worried about our next game, and certainly not thinking about the last one. Tony had a good lineup today, as good as we could’ve hoped for. He has limitations, sure, but he’s shown he can manage the talent he has, and the players tonight came through for us.

Buckley on, I like this kid

Excellent, no way I find one gripe with Rovers tonight!

YES!!!

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.

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.

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.
