v Walsall (h) - 8/8/23 - Carabao Cup R1

The ‘Watch Live’ option is there, but it’s done it before and not shown the game, so let’s wait and see. Suspect it’ll be audio only. -

Wrexham’s gotta give the sponsors value for money. A pretty penny spent on that shirt sponsorship. -
Actively setting up a BRFCS in London WhatsApp group now, so anyone interested, DM your number!

Don’t get this at all. Fair - might not be much of an overseas audience - but why aren’t these games allowed to be shown anywhere? -

Any overseas fans aware of it being shown somewhere? -
Momentum swinging the wrong way, though.

On paper, the Leicester lineup is absolute madness and they’ve tried to play in a progressive way but I think they’re very fortunate to be up here against Coventry. Ellis Simms is an £8m paperweight, cannot see him scoring and have no idea how Everton have got that kind of fee for him. I simply don’t know what any scout has ever seen in his play. I think Leicester away is late in the season, but I would absolutely fancy ourselves against them.

v West Bromwich Albion (H) - 05/08/2023
Bethnal replied to Polky's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
First impressions from Ewood (5 pints and ??? Baby Guinness’ deep): They looked a team full of athletes at kick off and I was nervous. Some solid play to break the WBA press. We will get beaten by others’ press, but today and against many teams in this league, we will play through it effectively. That’s a real skill and the result of a lot of hard work. Some of the play was excellent. Give Szmodics the armband. Harry Leonard is a Championship striker. He leaves today with a hat trick if he was on a run of five games (working through the nerves) and I can see him scoring a lot of goals this season if he’s given a regular starting berth. Naturally gifted. Markanday will be an asset this season. Got muscled around a lot but his press and positioning was very solid today. We are very disorganised when broken against. Defense loses shape when the opposition breaks against us and that’s how we conceded. We could’ve conceded at least two more because of this. On balance, we were much better than WBA today, which means we’ve done good work over pre season. Tronstad is a very tidy player. Adam was a bit too careless at times today. Trav worked hard but I don’t think he’s suited to this style of play. Lovely assist to Markanday, even still. Ewood had a great atmosphere. If you can, get on Ewood as much as you can allow. -

Defence look really disorganised. -

Absolutely should not have to be leading the line next Saturday but I think he’s going to give a good account of himself. Looking forward to seeing him develop. -

To be fair to you, he’s just found the gap between two of our players directly to the touch line but aside from that, he moves the ball quickly and generally looks forward. He looks comfortable in possession and as the “pivot” that’s what you want. -

Tronstad seems very neat and tidy in his play. -

Good movement from them both, although Sammie looked very tight for offside. Leonard does have instinctively good movement, he’s definitely a prospect. Leagues ahead of Vale, for me. -

Congratulations to all those who’ve grafted to get this initiative off the ground and over the line. I’d be really pleased to see more of it in future. I’m about 200 miles away from Ewood today, but hope everyone has an excellent day. -
Not much in the way of eye contact between those two. Difficult not to read into..?

23/24 kit; is a new sponsor needed?
Bethnal replied to alex l's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Not a fan. Think the only colour for accents on a Rovers home shirt should be red, if you’re gonna do them. I also think that you should pick a lane with a design feature collar. They’ve tried to merge two here and it hasn’t worked. Not an instant classic. -

I happen to run a merchandise company. It’s not hard to make things, just needs time, resources and imagination, but who can say how much of that we have at Ewood? -
The above goes for anyone, obviously! More the merrier.

Cool, there’re a few of us, so let’s see if we can get organised! DM me your numbers if you’d like to start that up: @Feed the Yak @ben_the_beast @Rover_in_the_South @berkshireblue @R is for Rovers

Even still, I envisaged a WhatsApp or something for fans that wanted to travel together to games, coordinate in smaller groups/gather at pubs to watch the myriad Sky games we’ll no doubt have this season. If people are interested in that, I am, as well.

Cheers. Any idea where/who’s best to email at the club?

Cheers. I’m not on Facebook, so that’s why it may have escaped me. Will give this a try.
