Blackburn Rovers Post Match Thoughts

[monty_rhodes]

If I was still in CA maybe but have been in Seattle for 10+ years and true to form it's pissing it down with rain. Still, have the Sounders v Vancouver Whitecaps game coming up.

If you cry I think my heart would break 'cos that would be much more than I could take. And if I was the reason for your pain my tears would fall like the rain.
Anytime you're Rotherham way
Any evening, any day
You'll find them doing the Millers walk.
Every little Stewart gals
With their little Stubbsy pals
You'll find them all
Doing the Blackburn crawl.

Are they still allowed to tackle over there, CAM? If so, you might see less than, say, six goals in the match...

[Fensmiller]

We'll certainly be a dying breed if the current form continues the home gate will be dropping like a lead zeppelin at this rate

[sawmiller]

True...Brecks also said before a ball was kicked that if we defend to deep again we will have problems. He commented time and time again that we sit too deep.

I don't think the team is that bad, I think the tactics are shocking, every team we play will be gifted possession and be allowed to have 20+ shots.
Soon I think we
will come up against a really good side and we will get a royal stuffing 10+ goals against

well, the record 1-11 hammering against Bradford a heck of a long time ago may get surpassed unless something radically different happens...

[rolymiller]

We desperately need a right back, left back, centre half and central midfielder. We have whittled about the forward line but we are barking up the wrong tree. Danny Ward has 4 goals now so you cant blame him poor fecker. What must he think when all his hard work up front is turned to dust by the useless two hats behind him.

[mikemiller]

True to some extent, but if Danny Ward had put away one sitter against Bristol C. and one against Forest, instead of scoring two in a heavy defeat today, we would be four points better off

[rolymiller]

IF we had been 3-0 up against Bristol we would still have drawn Mikemiller.

IF we had been 3-0 up against Bristol we would still have drawn Mikemiller.

or even 4 roly...

couldn't win a raffle with this defence

[mikemiller]

To be fair, Danny Ward does looks like he's trying his hardest - just wish I could say that about most of the rest of them

[rolymiller]

The problem is is that they are playing rigidly to a plan unfortunately its not a very good one...Its a Harford/ Scott plan we are trying to run before we can walk. Like I said on another thread you have to get the ball to pass it. You cant pass a ball you do not have. Cant see why any football manager would not see that very simple fact.
