v Watford (h) 23/12/23
roverblue replied to We Are The Rovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Yep. Or ask the existing team to sit in and stop committing forward as much. It’s basic football management. -
v Watford (h) 23/12/23
roverblue replied to We Are The Rovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Been saying the same thing for a few weeks with the usual suspects refusing to accept any criticism of the guy. he’s an ok manager who now has lost more games at home by Xmas then Owen Coyle did the season we went down. He has gotta learn but seems more interested in the vanity project of purist football than getting points on the board. All it would have taken for 3 points yesterday was to go defensive and close out the game for the last ten minutes but instead we kept going for more, leaving gaping holes for the additional attackers Watford threw on. -
Even Owen Coyle only managed to lose 5 home games by Xmas

I can’t remember a season where we have lost this many home games before Xmas -

Sorry should have specified in the league at home. -

At least with Britain suspended JDT can’t play him up front anymore. Given our home form and Watford’s result last Saturday we will get beat. But it’s the hope that makes us fans keep coming so let’s hope we get an early Christmas present and the first convincing win of the season. Be nice to do it in front of a big crowd and maybe entice some people back again too. -
v Southampton (a) - 16/12/23
roverblue replied to NeilInBristol's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I don’t think anyone is saying the manager should go are they? Just fans pointing out continued deficiencies in the hope he starts to learn and change. I’ve watched us lose at home to Preston, Sunderland, Hull and Swansea this season already. These aren’t mega bank rolled parachute money clubs. -
v Southampton (a) - 16/12/23
roverblue replied to NeilInBristol's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Just watched the highlights and the defending looked poor on all 4 goals. Sounds like we were well beaten from reading the comments let’s hope they rest up and we get a performance next weekend. -
They need to go back to having one cheap area of the ground which is traditionally the Riverside. It went from 299 to 399 in covid under the guise we would be moved to other lower tier areas if needed but never happened. Then they just kept the price at 399. The stand is falling apart, it’s almost impossible to get a beverage due to the understaffing and the toilets are like going in a freezer with posters advertising Cheltenham races in 2020. If they don’t improve my match experience or reduce the prices I won’t be renewing next season after 30 years of attending.

Jon Dahl Tomasson - Sweden coach
roverblue replied to Tom's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
If our home form was better we would have got plenty more on last night and you’re kidding yourself if you think otherwise. The performances and results have been dire. I think JDT is ok, Mowbray got pelters for similar results. I’ve seen words like ‘sensational’ and ‘miracles’ on here to describe JDT. League wise I think we are about where we should be based on our squad. I am just not enjoying going to Ewood at the moment but hopefully it picks up once we get some of the walking wounded back. -
Jon Dahl Tomasson - Sweden coach
roverblue replied to Tom's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Similar feeling, never really been won over since he came. The guy has some sensational PR team the way he is talked about and the links to jobs in the media. It’s good to have an identity but we don’t have the budget or players for it. I’ve lost count of the goals we have kicked in our own net like last night from trying it. When we go behind we stay behind and rarely make any subs till it’s too late. I only attend home games but it’s been turd since he came in at Ewood. There was probably 7-8k on last night which gives you an idea of how exciting it feels to come down at the moment. -
v Bristol City (h) - 12/12/23
roverblue replied to Jerseybean's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
As others have said we played crap but got the win. The Siggy goal was probably the only bit of class all night from either side. Probably the fact it’s a Tuesday night and our home form has been poor but was really quiet on the ground tonight in terms of numbers and atmosphere. Looked a lot more balanced team tonight with everyone in their proper positions. A few stinking performances from Moran and Leonard, but good ones from Tronstad, Whalstedt and Siggy. -
v Bristol City (h) - 12/12/23
roverblue replied to Jerseybean's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Do they still count season ticket holders even if they don’t show? Place looked empty tonight and loads of regulars near me didn’t show up -

Finally a proper starting 11 with people in their natural positions! cmon you blues!! not many here 😂 -

roverblue replied to Jerseybean's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Same as always, the front three are fluid in this system and play across the line from what I have seen at home games. -
v Bristol City (h) - 12/12/23
roverblue replied to Jerseybean's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I want to be positive so let’s go for a 1-1 draw. Get Ennis and Telalovic on for Britain and Leonard and let’s actually get to see them play a game. They can’t do any worse than them two after yesterday -
Winter is here and he wants his customary time off for Xmas 😂

Playing a full back at home as one of your attacking front 3 whilst you have two strikers and an Iceland international winger on the bench is just stupid. We then play a centre half at right back because the right back is playing up front?!? Just play a proper team and give the opposition defence something to think about. We signed two strikers in the summer so give them some game time and chance to get match fit.

This season is sapping the enjoyment out of me as a season ticket holder. As well as losing most games the football on offer has been largely turgid where we have no attacking threat and concede soft goals. Passing the football nicely from goalkeeper to the opposite corner flag and back again isn’t something I find entertaining. For fans who go to away games they probably have a better view of JDT but I don’t get the hype.

v Leeds Utd (h) - 9/12/23
roverblue replied to Chris Whittys Barber's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Lost 6 of 10 at home this season. Hoping for a result against Bristol on Tuesday night and a change of fortunes. Give Ennis a start please I’m sick of seeing a team of midfielders pissing about with it near the box. -
v Leeds Utd (h) - 9/12/23
roverblue replied to Chris Whittys Barber's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Abysmal first half we barely touched the ball other than to give it back to Leeds. Mistake after mistake including some laughable brain malfunction by Whalstedt dribbling out his area. Better second half, just no striker or killer instinct. Could have shot so many times but just worked it back into midfield or passed it on like a hot potato as per usual. Royally fed up this season as a ticket holder feel like all I have seen is the team lose and play crap. -
Blackburn End: Waggott Out
roverblue replied to BlueBro's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Thanks Glen for putting the notes out from the meeting, it's a depressing read. It's a pity that it doesnt get more widely reported on by the LET as there is some real eye openers in there for us fans. I feel taken advantage of as a season ticket holder after reading the responses. If the club has zero ambition why should I be forking out £400 to basically watch the u21s develop for the next few seasons. It is obvious with the Venkys financial issues there is no plan and we are on the road to nowhere despite being a few players short of maybe getting into the playoffs. -

This has got a spanking written all over it, our home form has been poor all season and Leeds have some serious firepower. 1-4 spanking to spoil my weekend. -

Only seen the result but typical rovers to do a shit team a favour when we have been doing so well -
v Sheffield Wednesday (a) - 2/12/23
roverblue replied to philipl's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
We have to be looking for a comprehensive win given our away form and their overall form, going for a 0-3 rovers win. On the flip side historically these are the sort of games where we slip up and lose.
