Long delay here as Tudgay is down with a serious looking shoulder injury for Barnsley. Being stretchered off the pitch

Berg would have won this game
4:38pm
GOAL Barnsley 2-1. Dawson fires home to give the hosts hope
4:37pm
This all looks very comfortable for Rovers. Barnsley struggling to create anything at all
4:27pm
@CryerRovers glad to see rovers winning, but so sad that we have become such a laughing stock.

Rochina goes close twice. First with a fierce strike and then a delicate chip

Interesting to see that we have two yellow cards in the first half. We must be top of the league for sporting behaviour. Maybe the two yellows is a good sign of fight and spirit???

Good work by Rochina puts Kazim-Richards in and his shot is deflected over bar
4:14pm
Barnsley looking brighter in this half but not really troubling Rovers at the moment

Positive result at half time. Well done lads. Hopefully, they can score a few more in the second half. Most importantly, keep a clean sheet and win at last!!!

Senior players on higher salaries moved to beds next to door. Once again, accountants in Pune picking the team. A repeat of last season is definitely on the cards.
4:06pm
Colin Kazim-Richards has come on for Simon Vukcevic, who was carried off at half time
3:50pm
Half time Rovers 2-0 up. Well deserved as well. Barnsley have been very poor but Rochina, KIng and Rhodes look very dangerous
3:49pm
Kean saves well from Davies.

5 updates in the first 34 minutes of a match is brutal. Cme on Cryer, either report on the match or dont!
3:46pm
Goal Rovers 2-0 Rochina. The Spaniard races down flanks beats a defender and fires home
3:37pm
@CryerRovers Clearly I spoke too soon, let's hope we can carry on this way!

King raced clear, his hit was blocked by Steele but the rebound hit him and bounced into the net

Rhodes should score. Henley bursts through, slips ball to Rhodes but, with the ball bobbling, he fires well over from close range
3:18pm
Josh KIng swerving shot tipped wide by Luke Steele
3:16pm
Grant Hanley heads ball clear after Stephen Dawson volleys towards goal, from Kean's poor clearance
3:07pm
Looks like a 4-3-2-1, with King and Rochina just behind Rhodes
3:05pm
Game underway. Rovers fans very vocal still. Calling for Venky's out and Singh out
2:57pm
Rovers fans in full voice before kick off. Shebby Singh and Venky's are not flavour of the month shall we say.
2:53pm
Great stuff at birch services. Me & @kevingallacher8 head back to @CryerRovers car & get in totally the wrong one with a bloke & kid!

srvp28 says
Would it be too much to ask that you list the team as they line-up in whatever formation has been chosen? Is it King or Rochina playing behind Rhodes? Is Vukcevic starting on the left or right? Are we playing 442, 4411, 451 or 433?
I'll figure it out for myself once they're out on the pitch but not everyone can get to the game and these details give the fans a clue as to what to expect from the team.

Blackburn appoint another unknown manager to the role
Blackburn Rovers have appointed unknown manager Stephen Gibbs to the role until the end of the season. Gibbs is relatively unknown to football due to him not having any managerial experience. Gibbs holds UEFA A License coaching badges but has never managed a club. Shebby Singh has announced that Gibbs will have Dutch legend Johan Cruyff as his assistant. Singh added; ''With an experienced person as his assistant he shouldn't have any trouble. He is a world-class coach who's expertees can be used for the remainder of the season. Stephen may be inexperienced but he shows passion and has the knowledge on what to do to help the club. He knows what to do and he has promised promotion to be the minimum qualification this season. We will hold a formal press conference later but Stephen is busy meeting his players for the benefit of the club.
