FULL TIME: Derby County 1 Blackburn Rovers 1
4:57pm Saturday 20th October 2012 in Sport
By Andy Cryer, Blackburn Rovers reporter
THEO Robinson's 89th minute leveller cancelled out Jordan Rhodes' opener as Blackburn Rovers' winless streak stretched to five matches at Derby County.
Caretaker boss Eric Black restored David Dunn and Morten Gamst Pedersen to the starting line-up, while Danny Murphy was dropped to the substitutes bench.
Rhodes gave Blackburn Rovers a deserved half time lead with a clinical finish on 35 minutes.
Colin-Kazim Richards' right wing cross was nodded off by Morten Gamst Pedersen and Rhodes brilliantly volleyed low into the bottom corner from 20 yards.
Bradley Orr almost doubled Rovers' lead after a quick counter attack minutes later, while Scott Dann had a header saved by goalkeeper Adam Legzdins earlier in the half.
At the other end Derby rarely threatened although Theo Robinson should have done better with a free header that he sent over midway through the half.
The hosts started the second half a lot brighter and almost levelled on 56 when Rovers' defence switched to allow Paul Coutts curl a shot inches over the bar.
Rovers struggled to create much going forward as the game wore on but Derby rarely threatened themselves, as Black's men looked defensively solid.
Substitute Michael Jacobs saw a free kick deflected just wide, with Robinson beaten, before Nathan Tyson had a shot saved by the Rovers stopper.
Mauro Formica steered a shot inches wide for the visitors, before Derby deservedly levelled on 89.
Craig Bryson's low strike was well saved by Robinson but Theo Robinson was on hand to steer home the rebound from a tight angle, via Rovers' keeper.
ROVERS: Robinson, Orr, Dann, Givet, Olsson, Kazim-Richards, Dunn (Formica 68), Lowe, Etuhu, Pedersen, Rhodes SUBS: Murphy, Gomes, Rochina, Hanley, Ribeiro, Kean

BLACK IS NOT THE MAN TO MANAGE BLACKBURN ROVERS!
Do the right thing Eric and rule yourself out of the running for the job. Do it for the good of our club and don't put yourself in the same position as that lying drunk who employed you.

Venkys might actually have to appoint someone and make a decision, the first they have made since they prematurely chopped Allardyce when we were 11th in the premiership. Its all been downhill since then!!

I honestly believe we could have had a 100% record with a decent manager
This league is s***e!
The players we have seem to be playing at 60% of their potential, that is the problem along with negative tactics, sitting deep and inviting pressure with a one goal lead(very poor)
Get a strong manager in place ASAP venkys
although I have zero faith in you doing this.

I'm see all those defensive Big Sam signings that we sold got us relegated.
Can you point them out for me?
I'm sick of this unjustified big Sam love fest. Did he sign anyone of any note at all? even Phil Jones was signed by Hughes.
Did Sam sign anyone?

Sam was ok taking over a good squad and getting 100 % off them but his quality of football was awful.
Never a plan b when we went behind playing hoof ball. I heard so many people say they'd rather we were down a division playing better football than what was on offer from Big Sam.
Well we are down a division but the football is definitely not better. Everything from top to bottom in the club is worse.
He was also very arrogant with it as well, a puppet on a string for his master Fergusson.
I'd love Highes back but it ain't gonna happen.
Who we get in is going to be a gamble but it needs to be done quick because we are sliding in the wrong direction in the league.
We have a quality finisher up front in Rhodes who will score given proper service but he needs a pacy striker with him for him to feed off.
It's not rocket science.... Unless ur name is Black, Hendry, Venkys or Singh.

Our caretaker manager Eric Black has now won just 3 points from a possible 12.
Thats 9 points dropped which could well be vital at the end of the season.
The Board must show some urgency and make an appointment soon.

.................... Its Sam.................
..............He's gone and he aint coming back
Enough said
Its like me saying Phil Jones drool drool drool, and he's second in the premier league, drool drool drool.
Complete tool its gone. If shearer hadn't left, if we'd have signed zidane. Its gone just get over it.

Mr Black is following Keen's tactics. Rhodes on his own doesn't work.
Come on Venkys get your fingers out of the chicken and appointment a
manager before Wednesday's game.
Time is running out.

I fear for the worst because personalities seem to be more important at Ewood than application and commonsense.
Shebby is sadly proving he is as inept as the other Venky folk at Ewood - GO NOW if YOUR PRIDE gets in the way

I'm just over the big Sam love fest, he's gone, he aint coming back. You're like a bunch of folk singers going on about a dog you used to have 25 years ago.
If big sam were here w'ed be this, if big sam were here we'd be that. Well he aint here hes gone and he aint comin back. And when some turkey comes on here and says we won the league in 95 with big sams team, exaggeration I know but you get the point, I will correct his big sam love fest. I tell you what big sam did foe Rovers, he successfully avoided relegation for three years. Thats it, thats all he did. HE AVOIDED RELEGATION.
So whats me pointing out the cold facts got to do with wanting Kean back. Now you are talking out of your arse.
And as for alfa111 popping up and saying yeah, yeah go on you tell him like a big girl. All he has to do is stop typing bollax and I will stop correcting that bollax. HOOF MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

At Rovers we have a assistant manager and then his assistant that are not interim but are in fact trying to get the managers job, it is a different scenario.
LEE HAS NO INTEREST IN THE JOB AT BOLTON FULL TIME ,BUT BLACK AND HENDRY ARE DESPERATE FOR THE JOB BUT HAVE PROVED THEY ARE INCAPABLE OF DOING THE JOB.

Stringing loads of defensive midfielders across the pitch sacrifices goals but doesn't seem to add much in terms of clean sheets
Better off winning 5-3 with Kean

The games we have won in particular against Leicester and Barnsley were very fortunate and lets face it, if it wasnt for those six points we would have been in serious trouble.
We are carrying too many players who either aren't good enough, or aren't putting enough effort into their training of the matches. We need to sort this out and fast, or we will sink into the abyss.
