I'm guessing Weimann and Siggurdson will be back for those, Carter won't be, so who are the other 6 Eustace was on about?

So many times it's Dolan that sets the tempo, Ohashi and Cantwell are now getting up to speed and it's a 3 man close down from the front. Dolan's defensive play is, in my opinion, the reason why Cozier-Duberry isn't getting a game from the start. Although he hasn't had much game time, I can't say I've seen anything from him which would tempt me to sacrifice Dolan's workrate to gamble on playing him. -

It was a bit of a dog wi fleas, but yet another brilliant result. Yet again, no need to single anyone out for criticism, just a triumph for team spirit. Eustace and his coaching team are squeezing out every ounce. If I could vote for Eustace for man of the match tonight I would do. A win for man management as much as anything else -

Thought he was at least as good as anyone else, at least until Mac came on😁 -

It's an area of the side which brought the penalty against Leeds and the winner yesterday. Agreed about Beck being pushed forward, that's what I meant by Pickering replacing Hedges. -

Agree with that,unless Pickering is fit to return for Hedges. Do we know why he missed out yesterday? -

Let him carry on, I love how he plays 10 minutes but leads the celebrations. He's our answer to that bloke in Boney M -

There's no doubt that the whole squad has bought into the work ethic needed, hats off to Eustace for that one. Obviously the results help, but he's also managing to bring the fans along with him and the team. It is difficult to pinpoint, but although it's like we play with a defensive 6 plus Pears, the front 4 don't half put a shift in. We're defending all over the pitch, not just at the back. -

A victory for endeavour if ever I've seen one. Terrible conditions making for a terrible game but a brilliant result. Once again, like the Boro game, no need to single anyone out for criticism, another team win with another clean sheet, and without player of the season up to now, Travis. Looks like we've a bloke in charge who knows what he's doing. -

To be honest, Gueye did at Hull what Hedges should have done at Preston. Either take the net out or put it out the stadium. -
My mate messaged me, imagine the reaction if Pears let that in. Conditions were terrible, but you're right, it was a mistake.
-
Yeah, hoping for a draw, but Boro should have wrapped up the points. That header was a sitter and another couple of chances.
-
I wouldn't say next few, he isn't that inconsistent, but he's always likely to throw in a stinker, but who isn't? The thing with Dolan is that when we do lose, or sometimes even draw, he can receive an unrealistic amount of stick for an overall poor team performance.
-
And yet he was rightly named man of the match on Saturday. Doesn't sound like the player you described.
-
He'd be right, although to be fair, Arsenal can play some great stuff.
-
Poor defending from United there, nobody picked up Fashanu from Laurie Sanchez's corner.

Correct decision, great performance. He's as capable of being our best player as he is of having a bad un. He's a very important squad member. Just why the "Hedges and Dolan" thing ever started, I've no idea, Dolan is much more valuable to Rovers. -

Norwich, when Tronstad apologised for his own mistake. That pass to the edge of the area is a big part of how Rovers play, it's played umpteen times a game. That we're talking about 2 instances in dozens of games where it went wrong but didn't actually cost us a goal would suggest it works rather well. -

M_B replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
You're rewriting history, Tronstad called for the ball, Pears got his angles right and bailed him out. Most importantly it was Tronstad who apologised, I don't know how much evidence you need. -

I always say that the one thing Dolan does is set the tempo, and now Ohashi is looking like he's up to speed to help him,and Cantwell doesn't shirk his responsibilities either. -

My main grumble has always been that any replacement keeper won't/wouldn't be subjected to the same scrutiny. If a new keeper had come in in the summer and performed the same as Pears has this season, he would be lauded, not scrutinised to the nth degree. -

The one at Norwich was, Tronstad asked for the ball, lost it and apologised. Pears still got the blame on here. The fact we're talking about mistakes that didn't actually result in a goal, should in itself suggest he's having a good season. -

You could just say Pears is doing fine, which he is. -

Only seen it live, but looked like Ohashi probably should have scored, and Beck should definitely have buried the rebound.
