Murphy's interview made interesting viewing. He seemed to me pretty unipressed to say the least that Bowyer has not been left to carry on. I only hope that he and the rest of the players who the LT say are unhappy are able to be professional enough to put aside these feelings and do a job for Appleton. I think his first job is to get the dressing room on his side.

Some players will probably ask, who is Appleton? What has he won? Where has he played? Will they play for him?

The dressing room don't give two hoots for Appleton and why should they as he is a complete no mark. Just like the dressing room at Blackpool where they don't give two hoots that he has gone because he was useless there.
Just waiting now for The Global Adviser to announce the criteria against which Appleton will be sacked for failure.

I think we did well to get a point tonight. We created very few chances and, on watching it back when I got home, we were fortunate to get the penalty. Rhodes took it excellently although I did wonder at the time why Murphy didn't take it. Kean had a good game, Kane looked a bit shaky at times but Kazim-Richards was awful for a change. How he managed to stay in the pitch for 95 minutes is anybody's guess. Still, it's a good point against a Wolves side who looked like they were giving their all for Saunders. Well done Gary and Terry, the 100% record may have eluded you but you were still undefeated.

On a slightly separate note, I was just flicking through the channels and noticed that they're showing a documentary about Burnley on BBC1. Weird stuff...

Once he and Rochina were taken off, whenever we went forward there was no hope, the players knew that, Kazin knew that!

Kane as a lot of us have said not good enough for the Championship and Murphy tonight behind the pace with Wolves having a free hand in mid field - not an awful lot to look forward to and after tomorrows results will still mid table

The quality of the squad is there for anyone to see, the constant selling/ letting go of experienced better quality players has certainly caught up. Any manager will struggle with this bunch , surprisingly GB & Mc managed to get some decent results, how much that was helped with the poor opposition
I'm not sure.... One thing is certain this squad isn't good enough and the way Venkeys do business it's going to get weaker, if that was possible!!

Good point under difficult circumstances last night. Wolves were fired-up for the win but we held them well and showed some quality at times. One defensive slip for their goal otherwise a decent display.

Plus points Rochina showed class again. Murphy linked things up well with some neat short passing. KR put himself about like a bull and unsettled the crowd and their defenders. Jake Kean looked confident and capable in goal. Scott did well apart from the goal. And no disrespect to Adam Henley but the biggest plus point on the night for me was that we had a proper threat down the right-hand side. The new lad Kane looked good and worked well too with Vukevic and caused Wolves quite a few problems.

Well done Team GB! That was a nice and very important unbeaten run that our new manager can take further over the next few weeks when some winnable games are lined-up.

Will from 1967 suffice......sept 1967 v Bristol city 2-0 home win....the day I blame for being hooked......haven't seen a live game this season I'm proud to say so perhaps I'm one of the "glory hunters" you're classing folk;-)

Great post, most post walker fans are spoilt and clueless. Its bad enough that venkys have made us a laughing stock but these plastic fans want to moan about everything. They want to pick their dummies up and support their team through rough and rougher then hopefully for better.

68 or 69 on the riverside for me, i was 8.

no jack walker glory hunter for me. first season ticket bought for my birthday in 1972/73 season.....watched rovers all over the place including stuff like craven cottage with a crowd of less than 2,500, stafford rangers, welling utd etc, etc.....so your classification of plastic fans is hugely inappropriate.

anyhow if a kid was, say 7 in 1991/92 season.....they will be approaching 28 now and a fully fledged adult whose opinion is as entirely valid as yours; so in your childish manner - stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

my wore moment as a rovers fan - kevin stonehouse's winner vs bristol rovers at eastville proving worthwhile, travelling back on my own to sheffield on train and getting battered by derby fans (travelling back from cardiff) and arriving at sheffield station to be greeted by three swansea fans that i knew from college giving me grief for what remained of the night.

virtually all of us on here have earned our stripes and don't start giving others "i'm a bigger fan than you". its not big and its not clever and the only person who looks bitter is you.

i assume if you have any young relatives who are under 30 and are rovers supporters - you are much happier that they support rovers than either scumchester or grannystabbers or bin-dippers.

rovers is a love affair - many ups and many downs, but that love is not unequivocal and if your partner keeps smacking you in the face, playing away (metaphorically, not literally) and basically takes you for granted - there is only so much that some can take before you tell them to do one. i admire your resolve to keep going back and can only recommend the charities that look after battered wives.

fair enough - garner came on fire in the second half of that season when we went from near the bottom to third. if my memory lets me down i am know i am right about the half time. my regret that season was i couldn't go to bury as i had an exam that day and the next. waste of time anyhow as my brother who lived in leeds (and could pick up radio blackburn ) played me the whole match commentary down the phone so i didnt do any swotting anyhow. GREAT DAYS!

Is that the standard of quality and performance Venkys Blackburn Rovers serve up every week so glad I did not renew my season ticket. Last season was bad enough they have definately got worse

if you have not renewed your season ticket how would you know.

68 or 69 on the riverside for me, i was 8. no jack walker glory hunter for me. first season ticket bought for my birthday in 1972/73 season.....watched rovers all over the place including stuff like craven cottage with a crowd of less than 2,500, stafford rangers, welling utd etc, etc.....so your classification of plastic fans is hugely inappropriate. anyhow if a kid was, say 7 in 1991/92 season.....they will be approaching 28 now and a fully fledged adult whose opinion is as entirely valid as yours; so in your childish manner - stick that in your pipe and smoke it. my wore moment as a rovers fan - kevin stonehouse's winner vs bristol rovers at eastville proving worthwhile, travelling back on my own to sheffield on train and getting battered by derby fans (travelling back from cardiff) and arriving at sheffield station to be greeted by three swansea fans that i knew from college giving me grief for what remained of the night. virtually all of us on here have earned our stripes and don't start giving others "i'm a bigger fan than you". its not big and its not clever and the only person who looks bitter is you. i assume if you have any young relatives who are under 30 and are rovers supporters - you are much happier that they support rovers than either scumchester or grannystabbers or bin-dippers. rovers is a love affair - many ups and many downs, but that love is not unequivocal and if your partner keeps smacking you in the face, playing away (metaphorically, not literally) and basically takes you for granted - there is only so much that some can take before you tell them to do one. i admire your resolve to keep going back and can only recommend the charities that look after battered wives.

You old bugger I drove all the way to eastville(now a tescos)and back in an old chevette by my self (last minute whim).....watched the game from the open end next to the motorway....do remember going to the portakabin for a leak...'twas like waterfall down the terrace steps.....remember seeing running battles across the M5/M6 with rovers and Swansea fans......oh and for some strange thing I remember a flag on a motorway bridge ....Aston villa 1st div champs.....what year was that anorak ?

Was that the end of season game at Bristol when NorthEnd had to us a favour and beat Swansea at Deepdale and failed ?

it was a famous saturday the second day of may we met a coach of swansea fans along the motorway we said we'd win promotion, we said we'd win the cup but on that famous saturday, the preston f'd it up BUT I GUESS I AM AN ARRIVISTE GLORY HUNTING SUPPORTER FROM THE JACK WALKER ERA - SO MY OPINION DON'T COUNT (to some idiots)
