  1. Pring with a back pass from the centre circle gets the whole crowd moaning noo noo nooooo
  2. Difficult to build up from the back with tanner at cb. Cant ping a pass like zac. When he's on the right he sometimes gets forward overlapping Ross. But Ross hasn't got up and down much from rcb today. Few of our players need to show for the ball more and play with a hit more urgency
  3. They look sharp. We look a bit stilted. Few poor touches from Williams
  4. Few players slipping over. Ref giving out cards like confetti
  5. Looks like back 3, sykes rwb. Knight and twine behind TC
  6. Well well well. Can't remember who it was on wed who posted about there not being much between most if not all teams in the champ. Coming down to tactical set up/form/desire/who woke up on the right side of the bed. They're being proved right with this top 3 choking the way they are. Funny old game. Blackburn fans must be scratching their heads.

    Shirt?

    40% off the yellow kit being advertised last night. Wonder how many of them they ever sold? Can't say I remember seeing many. Hope for everyone's sake the club just play it safe this year - no "nods to tradition", no "homages to the past", no "celebrations" of this or that. Call me a cynic. Just a good quality red shirt please. Too much to ask? Probably end up with something from the Zak Vyner range.
  8. Football commentary obviously isn't as easy as we think! I haven't watched on Robins TV for a little while - but one relatively simple thing that would elevate the commentary significantly would be just to talk less! It's not radio, we can see what's happening. These guys should sit down and listen to Martin Tyler, Clive Tyldesley etc. I'm not sure the robins tv guy quite understands what the role of the commentator is. Maybe Jonathan Pearce could give him some pointers. Came across Jonathan Pearce's euro 96 capital gold fm commentary the other day for England v Holland. If you think Robins TV is a little bit partisan, doesn't compare to this. Think English version of that Icelandic commentator a few years ago.
  9. Excellent. Now let's turn our full attention to finishing 11th.
  10. Listening to the football cliches podcast recently - apparently some now refer to a clean sheet as a "Cleano". Let's hope our social media team don't catch on. Good signs from our defence tonight - as you say a young back line, without Rob Dickie who has been one of our best players. Considering we're without Naismith and Atkinson (I'd forgotten all about him until somebody mentioned him earlier) it's all the more impressive to go on a run without conceding (yes...Vardy should have scored...but he didn't!)
  11. Maybe the flyers were in action? Can't be in two places at once
  12. Proper pundit isn't he (Rosenior, for those of you who aren't on first name terms!) - was a regular on the football league show I recall? Always seems like a good bloke. Presume he still holds the record for the quickest managerial sacking - appointed at Torquay 10 minutes before the club was taken over and the new owners relieved him of his duties. Incredible to think really - did he get a pay out?
  13. Felt sorry that the ref made them play an extra 6 minutes at the end. Audible, incredulous shouts of '6?!' in the home end at 5-0 up told its own story

    Mbude

    It might be a PR win for the club to just come out and say - we got this one wrong. He can't play football. We've been Ali Dia'd.
  15. Fantastic. Very enjoyable. Different team to the last time i made a home game. It was petering out at 2-0 which wouldn't have been bad - but the second half threatened to be excruciatingly boring until he changed the front 3 and we were right at them again. So credit where it is due, subs had a massive effect. Hope Blackburn refund their fans after their effort. But we really made them pay. Well done all. Let's follow it up on Saturday.
  16. Is that mebude getting ready? My eyesight isn't what it was
  17. Believe last time we were 2 up at HT was manning's first home game against boro. It was 2-2 within about 5 mins of the restart. Though we did go on to win...
  18. They've made a few chances for us but we have played a few good balls in behind too. Pleased with the first half. Should be 3 if not 4
