Incredible scoring run from Rhodes. Six league games in a row and he doesn't look like missing. That is what £8million gets you THREE WISE MEN Rovers trio of goalscorers Jordan Rhodes, Colin Kazim-Richards and Ruben Rochina celebrate the Spaniard’s opening goal

3:31pm

1-0 Rovers. Easy for Rhodes, scored in last six league games. Corner from Pedersen dropped and he buries loose ball

3:27pm

@CryerRovers about time he did seething with his free kicks alas still not scored #Rovers
— @shak141 02 February 2013

3:26pm

At other end Markus Olsson drags a volley wide

3:25pm

Bristol City should be ahead. Anderson races past Rovers defence but with just Kean to beat, blasts over

3:20pm

@CryerRovers like it nice and succinct 👍you or Jeff stelling? You me thinks
— @Gazrovers 02 February 2013

3:18pm

Rovers getting on top as MGp has shot blocked

3:15pm

Good chance for Rovers. Pedersen hits bar with curling 20-yard free kick after Kazim wins foul

3:11pm

@CryerRovers I dunno who's said that I think that's a great bench full of a mix of youth an experience
— @Kris_James84 02 February 2013

— @christina8887 02 February 2013

3:08pm

Stephen Davies bends a 25 yard free kick over the bar for Bristol City

3:06pm

Slow start at the moment. Both teams appear to be feeling each other out

As we expected, Morten starts on right with Jason Lowe back in his natural central midfield role

3:01pm

3:00pm

Teams out at Ewood

2:56pm

RT @CryerRovers: Makes me laugh people saying how weak Rovers bench looks. Have you had a look at Bristol City's and others in championship?
— @sturner90 02 February 2013

2:45pm

@CryerRovers I'd want some of them starting, Gomes definitely and even Nunes. Some good options there for sure.
— @NigeKS 02 February 2013

2:45pm

@CryerRovers I actually think we have a half decent bench compared to other teams. Probably better than the starting line up :-) lol
— @craigyboymills 02 February 2013

2:37pm

.@CryerRovers what an odd thing 4Appleton 2say?On top of the "statement of intent" If Thomas/DJ were here they'd of played Kean in disguise

2:34pm

@CryerRovers pedersen provides nothing from RHS of midfield. Gonna be a long afternoon.

@CryerRovers I notice that you don't get many optimistic replies to your tweets about BRFC these days!
— @hine_mick 02 February 2013

2:34pm

@CryerRovers I get playing own player instead of loanees, but would prefer young Kane to Orr. When is Henley back? King and Best missed too.

Mama Desai was here with us at Ewood Park with a good win over Bristol City.
Appleton first league win and he has promised to have hair transplant an a nose job before the Bollywood trip.
Sad only 13,500 crowds the atmosphere was a bit poor at Ewood Park.
Rhodes score two goals and i heard Jack's voice behind me he's just like Shearer isn't he.
Brag were here somewhere at Ewood Park.
Appleton need a few more wins to win the fans back .Blackburn chance of promotion this season is over.A few more signings of quality players next season and Rovers could be back in PL.
