HALF TIME: Blackburn Rovers 0 Millwall 1
8:35pm Wednesday 13th March 2013 in Sport
BLACKBURN Rovers trail to a Danny Shittu goal at half time in tonight’s FA Cup quarter final replay at home to Millwall.
Lions defender Shittu headed home a Chris Taylor corner in the 42nd minute to leave Rovers having to come from behind in the second half if they are to reach a semi final against Wigan at Wembley.
The match had been relatively even before that as neither side could carve out many clear cut chances.
Leon Best saw a shot deflected wide for Rovers before David Dunn came close to finding the far corner with a clever effort from the edge of the box from a Morten Gamst Pedersen short corner.
But Rob Hulse then headed just wide for Millwall as keeper Jake Kean was stranded off his line attempting to claim a deep cross from Shane Lowry.
Taylor then fired an angled shot wide and saw another effort deflected into the side netting before providing the delivery for Shittu to put Millwall in front.

Appleton has already proved what he is - totally unproven and frankly out of his depth. See how an experienced manager like Billy Davies is doing at Forest. But hey ho lets try and do it on the cheap.

I have never seen anything as bad as that.that bad it was funny.
A blessing in disguise that we didn't make the semi.
Players like Jason Lowe,Hanley( pig farmer) , Pederson, Olsson,Best,Dann can't even pass a ball.utter sthi.

Both legs lost, and only a couple of shots on target.

The first thing they need to do tomorrow, is have a look at the league table and wake up to the fact that we are only SIX POINTS FROM THE BOTTOM. We have two local derbies, followed by two difficult away games. Failure to win any of these games, and you can't rule that out, will put us in serious danger of relegation.

poor team
poor tactics
poor management
poor midfield yet again
MA.... the problem with....!!
'' A study of Neanderthal skulls suggests that they went extinct because they had larger eyes than our species.
As a result, more of their brain was devoted to seeing in the long, dark nights in Europe, at the expense of high-level processing. ''
Its quite obvious MA cant do it in the long run for BRFC....!
MA can def. see in the long dreary dark night's with his big bulging eyes which is obvious but can he see us through.....!!!!
but the vital question is can he process the info out there which is plain to see for all and come up with an action plan and see us through to the end of this season and beyond....!
I doubt it.....!!!
thats 7 defeats already and counting.
MA is a gonner if we lose against Burnley....!!
A new set of youngish, hard working, physically fit, skillfull Midfielders required at BRFC.
what do you think...?????
Pederson is just too slow PLZ retire
Dunn is just too fat...PLZ retire..!
Hanley is slow but tries his utmost to do a decent job.
His thinking is also slow and hes simply not good enough as a 1st team player but ok to have in BRFC squad.
Lowe is slow slow but tries his utmost
best & should be ok as a squad member and occasional sub but not 1st team material in my view.
Marcus olson is like a fairy lightweight
only need to blow on him and he falls
Murthy, Etuhu, Orr, Givet, Robinson
and any other casing BRFC issues should leave asap
so we can buy players who will play for the BRFC badge....!
not just here for money....!!
Dann is not the ideal captain
Infact we have no captain at BRFC
hence we need to find a strong central defensive partner for Dann who could be a potential captain.
or
a midfield general who we need as a captain.....for sure...!!
what do you think...!!!!

Have to agree with most of your statement, except on Dunn. He was by far out best player today and Sunday and he was probably not even fully fit. He gave his all. As for the rest, here's my take:
Dann - Good defender (most of the time). Tried to imitate Daniel Agger tonight but gave the ball away by hoofing it everytime!
Hanley - Again good defender, but not technical in the slightest. Him and Dann should play it simple and they'd be a good solid partnership.
Olsson & King, please go. No effort whatsoever. No fight.
Murphy & Ethuhu - Over the hill and overpaid. Please leave.
Pedersen - A favourite of mine, but clearly not good enough anymore.
Jordan Rhodes - A class act. I fear he'll leave in the summer. Destined for better things.
CKR & Leon Best - Hard workers for the most part. I feel Best plays best on the flank as a wide / inside forward. Hoof ball will not help theirs, or Rhodes' game.
Appleton - After these last 4/5 games I'm now leaning towards he's out his depth. These last 2 games he got the formation wrong, and the tactics wrong. Did he change them? No. He does not seem to react to our failings. I would not have said sacking ANOTHER manager was the right thing to do a few weeks ago, but if this is how we're going to play next year (if we even stay up) we have NO chance of promotion.

WE WERE TERRIBLE (AGAIN) TONIGHT.
I'M NOT CALLING FOR MA to bt SACKED because you can't KEEP sacking managers but 1 goal in 6 or 7 managers - is totally UNACCEPTABLE at any level - especially when your 2 strikers cost £11m betwen them in the championship !!!!!!
You slagged me off before the season started as being "negative" when I said I would take Rovers being "mid table mediocre and re-build for next season (2013-14)" - surely even you would now say that even I was "OVERLY OPTEMISTIC".
Mrs D, Jerome Anderson, Shevvy Singh, Danny Murphy, Paul Agnew, Dickson Atuhu, Shaw, Paul Robinson, Venky brothers, Nuno Gomes, Steve Kean, David Goodwillie, King, (both) Olssons, Henning Berg, Scott Dann, Bradley (pi$$) Orr, Michael Appleton and THE FA(!!!!!) - hang your heads in shame - you are ALL a disgrace to the great name of Blackburn Rovers Football Club !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!
.
May non of you EVER darken our doors again !!!

PAUL AGNEW
- you're one of the the biggest tw@ts of all of em - you pretend to be a "life-long Rovers fan" but you were one of the group of people who were involved in the original "CONSPIRICY" to disable & de-stable BFRC so you could gain fancially from the instability (which you have done) - don't you worry Paul - there are many of us out there that know what you did - and who you did it with.
WE WON'T EVER FORGET and WE WON'T EVER FORGIVE YOU EITHER !!!!
Are you the WORST fan that BRFC has ever had in its long and proud history? - are you our Judas Escariot ?????
