So so close. Vukcevic hits post.

Ince beats Henley and close range shot is parried wide by Kean
3:41pm
Kean tips Gomes' free kick over bar. Only Blackpool's second real effort of the game
3:33pm
Chance for Rovers. Kazim does well in box, flicks ball to King who could shoot but crosses instead and Etuhu fires well wide

@CryerRovers completely against run of play

@CryerRovers cost us points last few games at fault for a lot of goals.
— @Mattbellusci 15 December 2012
3:24pm
GOAL BLackpool 1-0. Wes Thomas glances ball into the net after Delfouneso cross. Against the run of play
3:19pm
Rovers getting closer. Rhodes races clear, shot saved by Gilks and Vukcevic's long range effort from the loose ball is scrambled wide by the keeper. All Rovers
3:16pm
Rovers almost in there. Kazim Richards down left, squares for King who is just beaten by Broadfoot
3:14pm
@CryerRovers I agree tho I wish Etuhu would stop wimping out of tackles

I'm surprised Robbo has been dropped - thats a big gamble for HB.
I went to MK Dons earlier this season when Kean played and he was very poor (at fault for the 2nd goal).
Outfield looks better with 2 decent widemen and 2 up front.
That said JL and DE in central midfield is very very week.
3:12pm
Scott Dann's cross cum shot is hacked clear by Blackpool
3:10pm
End to end game at the moment. Rovers having best of it with Rhodes and Kazim-Richards looking dangerous

Roobo, seen it coming, worst goalkeeper last season in PL, shots on target to goals conceded was worse than any other keeper, and that stat doesn't lie. I'll be glad to see Jake kean get a go, at least it should make robbo take a bit more notice instead of being complacent. Glad vuekevic and givet getting a start as well. Should be an interesting afternoon. Lets hope it pays off

Vukcevic volleys over bar in first minute
2:59pm
The teams are coming out. A huge game for Rovers as they look to stop their slump.
2:55pm
@CryerRovers not necessarily. Busy period, squad rotation maybe. Man Utd rotate their keepers on occasion for league games. Who knows tho.

@CryerRovers wouldn't say I'm happy but he has certainly been at fault for many goals over the past 2 years in a truly awful defence.
— @markhitch 15 December 2012

The exclusion of Paul Robinson is certainly causing some controversy among Rovers fans.
Jake Kean has started once in the league, the final day defeat to Chelsea last season.

@CryerRovers the best news i've heard since kean got sacked...
— @lil_saj 15 December 2012
@CryerRovers Its about time Kean was given a shot in goal. robbo needs to work on getting down for shots but hope he comes back improved

Paul Robinson has been dropped by Henning Berg for Blackburn Rovers' trip to Blackpool this afternoon.
The former England number one has been replaced by Jake Kean between the posts, with Gael Givet recalled to the heart of the defence in place of Grant Hanley.
Simon Vukcevic and Colin Kazim-Richards have also been included in the starting line-up as boss Berg looks to find the winning formula.
ROVERS: Kean, Henley, Dann, Givet, Olsson, Vukcevic, Lowe, Etuhu, King, Rhodes, Kazim-Richards
SUBS: Robinson, Dunn, Pedersen, Rochina, Hanley, Ribeiro, Rosado
BLACKPOOL: Gilks, Gomes, Ince, Baptiste, Osbourne, Cathcart, Angel, Harris, Thomas, Delfouneso, Broadfoot
SUBS: Eardley, Phillips, Taylor-Fletcher, Noguera, Halstead, Bruna, Thomas

Infact I think the goal is Blackpools only atempt on target in the first half !
SV has been head and shoulders the best player on pitch and it beggars beleif that HB has not picked him to start before now.
Dunn needs to come on for the 2nd hald as there is nothing going forwards with DE and JL.
Although the team set-up is better today our defending compared to Blackpools is woefull and that is the difference between the 2 sides.
JR has had his usual one chance, otherwise they've hardly passed the ball to him.
Gotta get something out of this game or HB is going to come under severe pressure and we are going to have to start looking at the bottom three rather than the top six !!

2-0 to Blackpool is pathetic, never looked like being in the game, only one win in 9 and no clean sheets, some managers are sacked with less than that, berg cant seem to motivate them for some reason
stick to football
says...
5:03pm Sat 15 Dec 12
Only one team wanted the ball and sadly Berg has failed miserably to influence the players in his time in charge. Teamwork seems to be absent in all areas of the park
Shebby promised decisive action - my question is when ? and will you accept responsibility for the decisions you have made since arriving at Ewood - YOU SHOULD LEAVE NOW. As for Venkys all seems to be hot air as usual TAKE THEM WITH YOU
This season now is about consolidating and retaining their position in the Championship - Mark Hughes is available so let us see how decisive you really are Shebby

To make it worse HB made his first change after 73 mins and took of our best player - GENIUS !!!!
The players looked unmotivated and un-interested and unorganised - the vast majority of this current squad are truely a DISGRACE to our club and are not fit to wear our shirt.
I am sorry Henning but you are NEVER going to make it as a manager whilst I have a hole in my ar$e.
Having watched every minate of the last 5 games and I cannot see where the next win is coming from.
I know they arnt your players and you actually picked a reasonable starting line up today but its taken you 9 games !!
- you can't seem to get the team to defend - we must be averaging 2 goals against under your manership and you obviously can't motivate or organise the players (pretty fundemental qualities for any reasonable manager, I would have thought).
I like you as a person and for what you have done for our club in the past but it is NOT going to work out - RESIGN and take that utter moron Shebby with you.

Kean has a lot to answer for, selling off an entire first team and leaving us with this spineless bunch of nomarks, And Scott Dann who was at fault again for the second goal after giving the ball away compounds his sheiteness by being a whisker away from scoring an own goal. Where was Givet who was supposed to be marking the goalscorer for the second?
KEAN you have a lot to answer for, for signing all these losers, no spine no belief, no leaders, spiralling out of control.
Doesn't matter if you put lewis hamilton or Jenson button in a fiat 500, he's not gonna win le mans in a car like that is he?

Hey Mr Magnificent Se7en, you need to have a quick look at the table when Kean left and if you were at Bristol City for his last match you would know they were on the right track, if nothing else the players were giving everything for him, not the same since. Any change should have been made in the summer, not when you have made a decent start to the next season and not because fans don't like him....
