Blackburn Rovers at home match thread

[Rocking Red Cyril]

Been a supporter for 48;years . And if I did not always have hope it would be pointless. Mind youb that hope been severely stretched at times over those years. But I really feel NP and the present re building team and club reorganization is showing signs of sprouting and growing . But I still not expecting it to be a quick job. We got to still give it time. And as I said before. Lucky enough to be able to go last week and not enjoyed a city performance that much for quite some time .

City winning today would put to bed any small remaining worries I have about a relegation scrap.

It is.  What we need to remember is that players can be fully up for it and still play below par.  I will be looking forward to reading back this thread later, for the first “his heads not right” comment.  I assume it will be after 3pm, but you never know with OTIB!!!

An unreal finish from Viktor Gyokeres who picks up the ball inside the box, with his back to goal, turns and fires a rocket into the top corner with the keeper frozen to his line.

Okies yes, but NP seems quite happy with the players head . So any poor performance would not be down to that

Goal and an assist today, maybe he's the creative spark we're missing?

He's the epitome of the tosspott footballer.

How the **** can you fall out with the game of football when just by being a pro footballer you are living the dream.

Absolute plonker.

Was this for the same goal? BBC are showing him as the scorer and Gyokeres with the assist?

Also report Gyokeres as the scorer!

[GlastonburyRed]

I’m at this game (living in Cov for a year). Some observations:

* Norwich look atrocious defensively - call me old fashioned but Krul’s obsession with playing out from the back is awful, and Cov look like they might score everytime they attack;

* Gyokeres is a bit good for this level - I can’t imagine he will want to live in Coventry for much longer;

* Despite KP45’s involvement today, a sense of frustration from the stands regards his decision making & ‘stupid flicks that never work’;

* It wasn’t KP’s goal even though initially credited, was VG.

It looked like it, but replays showed it was Palmer who had the shot

I gave you the fire because I agree with the staement, not about missing KP because I don't.

[cityexile]

Not been as positive, as well, just before Stoke at home. Had been playing pretty well up to the break and jjust beaten Rotherham away.

More than most, Blackburn seem great when ahead and awful chasing a game. However, looking at their probable team some very decent players at this level.

Seems a bit of confidence around after two wins. Hopefully we get the breaks today, a good result, and can start looking forward to mid table obscurity.

I wasn’t very clear there, what I meant was KP would miss the lifestyle , most footballers at this level have never had a dull 9-5 job so don’t appreciate how well off they are until it’s gone 

[AppyDAZE]

For anyone who is confused, the commentator on the Cov Norwich game has said on more than one occasion that Kasey Palmer, by his own admission, had fallen out love with football.

And when you consider how many people would give their eye teeth to play pro football, it's well a bit sickening to be praising him for falling BACK in love with the game.

THe idiot commentating is fawning over the bloke and it's quite sickly tbh.

Anyway,  gotta start my walk to AG now.

Ah though his corner was finished by Allen but someone else teed him up.

Still, CREATIVE KASEY.

I do find it strange how any one who has a career in professional football at any level could ever fall out of love with the game. They are very privileged. But everything in live has its ups and downs and the grass is not always greener.

A friend of mine was asking about VPNs. He was wondering how easy they are to use, how much and which one is good to buy, if you can stream premier league matches and pay for 3pm Saturday bristol city kick offs for matches he can't attend... anyone give a quick summary?
