Blackburn Rovers away match day thread

[The Swan and Cemetery]

Good from Bentley, Klose, Cundy, Atkinson, Dasilva and Wells. Midfield and up front not really firing and Han confirming why he’s been dropped. Thought Weimann generally too far up the pitch and that caused problems down our right, but by being too far up the pitch, he won us the game, so will happily take his gung-ho-ness. Great to a get a clean sheet. 

[David Brent]

We won. I don’t care how. We’re back on Tuesday.

Bloody hell he hit that better than Van Basten. Fair play that is a great finish.

 

Not bad for a player who was once described on here as having a foot like a "banjo" !!

all he does is run around, don't you know... "flappy" according to one eminent sage.

Andi Weimann - what a finish! - what a season!

Delighted for him.

Antagonistic? Hahaha! Whatever.  Bitter……

Honestly. You are coming across as a bit of a ****. Can't you just enjoy the win?

I’m enjoying it very much thanks.  It’s fantastic!  Just sick of those who slag the manager off constantly on these pages then  pretending they are ‘happy’.  Thanks for the feedback though

Apologies Jerseybean. I was going to quote you earlier, but didn't and now the system has saved what I started to write.

 

It read: ‘I'm going for a 1-0 win, we've got to score eventually even if it's a fluke’. Even if that was a Blackburn view

Who ever wrote that can you please let me know tonight’s lottery winning numbers

Is that the first away clean sheet since we last went to Blackburn?

Yes.

Today has proved Bentley is clearly our number one and we need to keep him.

Yes being dropped helped his game. He’s improved and upped his game, always a great shot stopper.

And Swindon get a 96th minute winner to turf the blue few out of their playoff place.

Swindle or the gas for the play offs...? That's like a choice between being punched in the face or kicked in the balls

I'm so confused, I'm in work, my phone buzzed to say a late goal, didn't even check it at I assumed the usual happened. Just checked it now and I see a clean sheet and a lay minute winner... for us!! Bloody pigs will be put flying tomorrow but I'm not complaining

I was in the kitchen listening/watching to final score on the beeb and heard them say "over to Ewood Park for a very late goal'.

My heart sank, thinking typical City, but then heard “but it’s gone the wrong way for the home team”.

Yes!!!

Wells looked very effective.

Excellent. Kept possession well, dropped deep and created chances. THE gamechanger. Well done Nakhi! Oh, and Bents was decent too, and Cundy.

[Numero Uno]

We haven’t won twice in a row all season…….

City's win is all down to Tony Mowbray's bad decisions; https://www.brfcs.com/forums/topic/35351-v-bristol-city-h-12322/page/14/#comments

 

Obviously in the category of “we should be beating these”!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[P'head Red]

Very glad to turn my phone back on and see that my earlier prediction was wrong! First away clean sheet for a year, very much needed!

[Out of his pie crust]

The vision from Williams for the goal. Elite.

[The Gasbuster]

Great result, and three very welcome points !

I think they call it 'deep backspin slice', Nadal would have been proud of that.

Yep. You can`t teach skills like that.....................

[YGBjammy]

Was Williams trying to shoot? I've seen the replay and I literally don't understand what he wanted to do, looked like he was trying to clear it, at the wrong end of the pitch

Obviously pleased the luck went out way for once, especially so late in the game. But I think this is the most annoyed I've been after a win; our team is utterly baffling in its inconsistency.

[BS3_RED]

Great win today and we should now be safe ( though I think we were before).

Same doubt.  Strange way of kicking the ball but...really effective hehe.

He wasn't great again today.

He slipped in the pre match warm up, landed heavily,  and didn't look comfortable for a while. I was wondering if he would start at one point but he seemed to shake it off. 

[redsquirrel]

it was a deliberate pass,confuse the shit out the defence allows AW to ghost in and smash it home. absolute worldy of team effort. ( says he who knows fa about tactics :laugh:)
