Duo set for Rovers return
1:25pm Thursday 15th November 2012 in Football
By Andy Cryer, Blackburn Rovers reporter
COLIN Kazim-Richards and Gael Givet are expected to return to Blackburn Rovers' squad for Saturday's trip to Peterborough as boss Henning Berg looks for his first win.
The duo have been out through injury but, along with Jason Lowe and Nuno Gomez, are now available for selection.
Berg is hopeful his players on international duty this week have all come through unscathed.
He said: "A big squad is important to us, we want competition for places and we think we will have that on Saturday."

And very true. used to think Maka was just a jester, then he started getting annoying and then personal.
I'm not from Lancashire originally Maka. wheres my apology for all the prejudiced comments you made?

If you really think CKR is a decent player, check his record on his Wiki page. How could any manager in the right mind sign a player with that kind of record!? Oh yes it was Steve.
Berg should send CKR back in January. The most annoying issue i have with him is the fact that he shoots from 40 yards every time he has the ball even when theres several players in good positions. The penalty incident confirmed that CKR is only looking out for his own personal glory. Incase some of you havent noticed, his shooting is TERRIBLE.
Don't agree with me? Watch the next couple of games he plays in.

I was born and bred in Blackburn but as I was conceived during the Wakes Weeks Maka believes that deep down I must be a Blackpool fan !

I want to see Nuno start again and Best back from injury of course, but on paper at least, there's a promising squad there for Berg to work with.
Still think Dunn should be for the chop. The Vuk has to start more, and Nunes needs more game-time. What happened to these other portugese players? I cant even remember their names apart from that Diogo Rosado kid, not one have even appeared on the line-up!

How many of the current squad would you say are dead certs on his team sheet right now ?

Jake Kean is another I want to see more of too. Question is, with so many on the book, unless we see some more axed or loaned out, are we really expecting MORE new faces in the January windows as people are hoping?

Glad Berg has sorted out Orr, a Kean sycophant. Bergie was frequently RB for Rovers and as they say - it takes one to know one - so it's no surprise that the first one shown the door is Orr.

The penalty snatch just made me angry but that was not the reason I have ever said he is greedy.. It's because he is greedy! As the post above says, anyone going to the games just keep your eye on him, he does just go for glory all the time... Fair enough, don't shoot then you don't score.. But when you have Rhodes wide open in a perfect shooting position and then you pass to a marked man (which I've seen him do a few times now) its just stupid, I think he has a problem with Rhodes getting all the goals maybe? It would be much wiser of him to poach Rhodes' rebounds from the keeper, then I'd say both Rhodes and Kazim would get more goals!

Like you said, if we want to play fast paced counter attacking football we can't have a guy who holds the ball up, makes bad decisions and shoots from 40 yards in the team.

ok
WHY are we not WINNING games...??
in my opinion its because we have too many elderly and slow players in the team.
FOOTBALL is a fast game and they need to be able to last for 90 minutes
Unfortunately BRFC have too many slow or over the hill type players.
For me that's the biggest issue within the team.
we have too many slow players not able to last 90 minutes.
Dann, Hanley, Givet are slow
Murphy, Etuhu, Pederson, Dunn are old and past it.
Gomes is old and not strong enough.
and there's more
what do you think...?
We need fast young energetic players
The centre of our defence is slow and the centre of our midfield is slow.
we certainly can't compete with those players especially as we aim to get back where we belong in the Premiership.
We are missing a midfield general, to dictate play and link up the strikers
We need a big target man to play alongside Rhodes.
We need a fast center back who can play....!!!
what do you think...????
