The Summer Transfer Window (Press Submit)
Rover8T4 replied to RoversClitheroe's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Asked Alan Myers to put a feeler out about young Finneran. Just replied stating he's asked his contacts but no reply. More than likely never showed up Friday, unless someone in here knows different -
Great end to what was a horrific season. Simply not good enough overall, A few good performances with no consistency. Carried by Szmodics, only a handful can say they deserve to play for the shirt. Boards choice not to invest was a massive gamble plus Administrative errors can not be repeated. League one with our current affairs would of been disastrous. Time for fans to recharge and enjoy some sun. Hope to see your opinions and my moaning back in 10 weeks

v Coventry City (h) - 27/4/24

Waggott has failed across all platforms this season except player sales. There is no passion left in the Blackburn Board room with no one to fight what's best for the club. Sadly we all love a club where mistakes are accepted and not learned from -
v Leeds United (a) - 13/04/2024
Rover8T4 replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
One of those games where all that effort did not come undone and lose points. Scoring a late winner which is very rare for us as of late to take all 3 points is refreshing. Avoid defeat against wednesday and that should be enough -
v Southampton (h) - 6/4/24

JE is a good one on one manager which this squad needed. Manager and assistant barking orders all game. Nice to see the set piece coach been working hard, Brilliant few examples yesterday to create the space. Stabalise championship status now and we will see a different team come August -

Credit where it's due we were set up really well today. Looked like a solid championship outfit, set pieces were switched up and we created chances. Best championship game under Eustace -
v Plymouth Argyle (h) - 09/03/2024
Rover8T4 replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Where to start. Defence got split multiple times with simple ball down the middle, centre halfs didn't decide once between them and neither anticipated. Struggled to win second balls in all areas of the pitch, Need 2 centre mids trying to mop up the mess, Specially when playing hoof ball. He's tried changing systems and I still can't see what Eustace is trying to achieve. It's like basic Non league tactics -
v Swansea City (a) - 2/3/24
Rover8T4 replied to philipl's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Thought I would let the dust settle before posting. Manager didn't change much from the game against Newcastle. Can't blame him after that showing. It didn't pay off and Swansea clinical taking there chances. One positive I can take from that game was Eustace. Noticed the weakness and changed things up, changed shape,in game management we are not used to but He tried. -
v Norwich City (h) - 24/02/2024

Showed great fight to get back on level terms after going one down. Not the best football on the eye but we are frustrating teams. Best of all it's nice to see an actual corner get played in, All 3 centre halfs plus Gally can head the ball and cause teams serious problems. Gally has had a run of games through the middle and is starting too look like a decent 9, 2 headers saved by opposition goalie. He looks hungry -
v Preston North End (a) - 17/02/2024

What would be nice if there was an international break which suits us for a change. Gaffer can have a good 2 weeks with the squad -
v Preston North End (a) - 17/02/2024
Rover8T4 replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He's just left us completely screwed. Will be hard for the team to find the right balance between JDT ball and what Eustace wants. He's only had 2 sessions with the team so far so I doubt he's done much bar stop us overloading our attacks and be more compact. We are used to creating more chances, But I have not seen us left in a 2v1 or defence left in firing line so far. There has been small signs of improvement -
v Preston North End (a) - 17/02/2024
Rover8T4 replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Gally the deeper of the 2 for large parts of the game and looked a decent pairing. Our squad is really hard to find a balance in my opinion. I like 3 in the middle as our better performances have come when doing so. But as of late 3 centre half looks the way forward as we have more depth there than in midfield -
v Preston North End (a) - 17/02/2024
Rover8T4 replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
After going two nil up and going in at half time at 2-2 I feared the worst. Preston definitely had the momentum and we showed grit and determination to see the point out. Looked tough to play against second half despite Preston having the midfield to themselves. That's where we lost the battle was in the midfield. Too many big holes there and it is worrying. -

Better game management -

I follow have shown a few banners around that first half to be fair -
v Stoke City (h) - 11/02/2024
Rover8T4 replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
JDT uses the U21s to get them up to speed. Hedges hasn't featured. Read the pre match comments.Brittain back early. Everyone surprised Hedges and Brittain were involved.JDT expected too much in terms of how fit the players should be Each to there own opinion I guess -
v Stoke City (h) - 11/02/2024
Rover8T4 replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Of course it makes sense. If they were not fit enough to press and play to the tempo JDT wanted he wouldn't of picked them. Adapting to a different style which JDT wouldn't do has enabled them to come in. JDT favourite saying was be patient and let them get up to speed -
v Stoke City (h) - 11/02/2024
Rover8T4 replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
No way would Brittain a hedges start today's game. Reason being they wasn't JDT ready. A plan B can fit these players in if they are ready. So far being good, Not overloading the attack and better game management picking the right times to go forward -
John Eustace - our head coach
Rover8T4 replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Looking forward to see what he brings to the table. Hopefully the end of inverted wing backs, Overloading the attack, and most of all zonal marking -
Woeful, Moran leaving the midfield completely open and not tracking back. Siggy not been in the game and was very quiet against Wrexham as well. Got to be much better second half to get anything from this
-
I can see where my mistake is in the wording And have put it across the wrong way. It was more to the point of the transfer window is now closed. Nothing else can be done for now. Let's get the results on the pitch to keep our championship status. Off the pitch is a different story. We all know where the issues are. But could become worse if results carry on the same way
-
I can't argue with that statement. We all want the same end goal.
-
I'm very much aware what is happening. But maybe I shouldn't be positive about the rest of the season and keeping our championship status. I should just be like you and assume that when someone is trying to be positive they are not educated enough to know what's really happening and throw a little dig. I have no power to input what goes on at management level. So the best I can do is back the 11 on the pitch

Love your comment 👍 and what do you suggest we do?
