blackburn match thread

Coming up to the 70 th minute and I'd give you a five out of ten for your performance but an ten on ten for the goal

Blackburn lack energy and morale rock bottom

With no second goal though ................?

MOTM Walker 100% effort and a Fantastic goal.......

I thought Modders was poor today, he just doesn't seem interested .

Nervy game to watch. It had the feel of one of those games where they get just the one chance and bang!

No reason to get carried away here, Blackburn were truly awful and Steve Keane? Owed Aitch a favour did he? For 90 minutes they showed not an ounce of enterprise or willingness to gamble.

Still, the result was what matters and it will be a good confidence boost, which is just as important as the points.

I think you guys are being harsh on Modric though, he ran the show and was always probing. The only thing Blackburn really did throughout the game was defend rather tightly, never showing any real ambition and, thereby, not opening up the game in a way that would have seen a few more clearer chances for us.

But consider that we scored twice, hit the bar twice and wasted a good few chances with relatively poor shooting attempts. Bale and Modric should be kept back at training for extra shooting practice IMO.

Part one complete though so no real complaints from me.

I thought not having parker in mid field made all the difference , we tend to over pass the ball in the middle when parker plays , nothing against him, but we just do, never heard of the phrase to many cooks spoil the broth , well having the likes of parker vdv and modric in the middle together caused us to over do things , today i thought the balance was far better , we looked much more like our old self's , although not to get carried away it was a poor blackburn side and i expect old arry will change it yet again

Surprising that over the 90 minutes that Rovers did not create one scoring chance - Hoillett a player who has impressed me but today totally apathetic

For Spuds I was impressed with Sandro and a great goal from Walker - Lennon good in a totally wild way too

i thought modric played well and started our moves off

lobo great point about no parker
sandro offers more. he can tackle hes faster
and he dont look lost in oppoents half

good performance though.

but why didnt lennon come off straigh away.
why risk him when we have 3 big games to come

Walkers goal today was the first direct free kick we scored since 26th January 2010! The scorer that day was Bentley and the team was Blackburn Rovers.
That record is appalling but thank god it is over.

we did score a free kick in the uefa cup super pav

i have to say if i was taking a free kick i would want robbo in goal

and yea sandro looked amazing today. but they all played well.
good to have kaboul back.
next up bolton our bogey team away lol kevin davies turns into aguero

but surley if we play well we should win.

brad 7 nothing to do lol
walker8 played well great goal
galas 8 did everything asked of him
kaboul 9 so good to see him back
rose8 brought more energy to the team
sandro 10 what a great first half.
modric9 linked up play well
lennon 9 he gets a 9 for workrate today. not much came off for him though
bale7 hes heads been turned.
ade8 worked hard done well
vdv8 great first half.

i would keep the same team for bolton.

What a Screamer of a Free Kick from Walker. Roberto Carlos, eat Ya Heart out.

i have to say if i was taking a free kick i would want robbo in goal

you could have had 3 goalkeepers there and it would not have been saved, why do you always find a negative, I dont think for one second Walker thought "oh its Paul Robinson, ive got more chance of scoring"

No matter how grim things might seem for Spuds fans there is always a silver lining oop North;

leave it out robbo is awfull keeper. the bal wernt even
in the top corner. go watch the wall
he had loads of room to curle that shot round
great technic from walker but not as good as this one

this free kick theres a wall and a keeper yet still no stopping it

Pity he had to rely on the keeper being deliberately distracted by a player in an offside position - should not have been given

but it was top corner. watch robbo. walker shot hits the net mid height

stil a great free kick but robbo tends to let in lots of free kicks and long range efforts

i remember when the twat lined up wall in the chelsea cup final and then stood behind the wall. droba just shot into empty net

robbo good at taking them though, remeber the one he scored?

i never said walkers free kick was bad. it was good

but robbo is not a great keeper.
