Rovers v West Brom 1 Jan 2019
philipl replied to AllRoverAsia's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
All I can say with certainty is we have 10 playing out field. Probably Mowbray's favoured 4 - 3.5 - 2.5 -

As things stand, we are 16th 10 points off 6th and 10 points above 22nd. If West Brom win, they are currently going 2nd. -

LOst signal for 6 minutes. Rovers look uncertain when threatening goal, WBA look menacing when in our final third. Armstrong decision selection consistently wanting. -

Bennett carrying on where he left off at Bramall Lane- worrying. -

When do they start broadcasting? Nothing on the Mac and just a screen saying LIVE on the phone.

Williams was awful at Sheffield United and Rothwell did give the ball way too much. But Armstrong back? Unless he's had a brain infusion last night. -
Bought the match pass and received an email receipt! First time they sent one of those for ages. Let's see if it will play on the Mac or I will have to watch on the android phone again.

Killer Keely would put him into orbit. Somehow, think this will end ten v ten again. Could be a dire 0-0. -
Davenport is the one I am waiting for.

Watched the Laurie Cunningham tribute earlier today. Memories of the three decades when the Baggies used to play some of the most attractive football in the land. -

Yes we played very well that day which increases my fear we will be sussed in the return fixture. Given our propensity for leaking late goals and being down to ten, it was a point won and definitely not two lost. -
Travis certainly deserves his place based on the Bramall Lane showing.

Many reckon West Brom are the best footballing side in the Division. We certainly stole a point at the Hawthorns so we could well get hammered. That said, we will probably be competitive for 70 minutes. -
I have seen at least two Rovers wins there.
-
Yes that is a very reasonable scenario but as I point out, if games finished after 70 minutes, we would have deservedly taken 7 points and be unbeaten against half the top ten this month. The problem we have is easily fixable with the right recruitment at the back in January.
-
That is not completely fair. We had very encouraging reactions during minutes 0 to 70 against Brum, Boro, Norwich, Leeds and Sheffield United....

What Needs To Change and Where Do We Go From Here?
philipl replied to Stuart's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Is there any reason for being so certain Gallagher is coming in January? -
Any wins will be very hard work with late heart attacks. Having said that I expect at least two wins from the Millwall, Ipswich, Hull and Brentford games and not ruling out winning all four. I am conscious other fans are rating West Brom the best footballing side in the division and we are playing them at perfectly the wrong time. This will be a home hammering- going for 0-4.
-
Cannot repeatedly be getting into great positions then end up with nothing without there being a huge issue with player fitness throughout the squad. This is just basic. Unfortunately this is not something we can do much about at this stage of the season. Pre-season preparation must have been inadequate.

Totally disagree. We need a towering centre half who can command the back line. -
All credit to the lad today. Poor start, awful miss then ghosts past three players in midfield and the confidence surges and he has a really good spell either side of half time. Right at the start of he second half he was cruelly robbed of a clear run on goal by a drag back the opposition player should have been sent off for. Mowbray should not have subbed either Brereton or Palmer. Williams and Bennett were falling to pieces yet stayed on.
-
Those are very poor comments from Mowbray giving no confidence for the future whatsoever. I thought the ref was tough and brave- 27,000+ crowd and he gave the home team six yellows including the double yellow for the sending off. Yes he bottled not giving a straight red when Brereton was through on goal and pulled back and if Smallwood was a straight red hen so was the early foul on Reed. But he should have booked Rothwell for that outrageous dive just before Sharp got the first.
