Henley bidding to follow up Rovers youth team's Turf Moor success
9:52am Tuesday 27th November 2012 in Football
Adam Henley
ADAM Henley is aiming for a repeat of last season’s FA Youth Cup triumph at Turf Moor when Blackburn Rovers travel to Burnley on Sunday.
Henley was part of the team that won 2-1 at Burnley in the FA Youth Cup semi finals in March, to seal a 3-1 aggregate triumph.
The 20-year-old right back has since returned to first team duty and is desperate to feature both in tomorrow’s home game against Bolton and in the weekend trip to Burnley, having forced his way into the starting line-up recently.
“I can’t wait,” said Henley, who grew up in Chorley.
“I played in the FA Youth Cup game against Burn-ley last year and that was a fantastic atmosphere and hopefully Sunday will be one to remember.
“Last year’s Youth Cup game was huge.
“As a local lad I am really looking forward to it and hopefully they will both be fantastic games to be a part of.
“It’s obviously a big game and it is one I am really looking forward to.
“I know all about the rivalry with Burnley being from the area and know how important it is that we get a result.
“I grew up knowing about the whole thing.
“Obviously I would love to put in a great performance, especially for the fans, and we want three points from Bolton and Burnley.”
Henley, capped by Wales at Under 21 level and also called up to the full international squad in the summer, is determined to help Rovers back towards the play-off places after their three-game unbeaten run ended with a 2-0 home loss to Millwall on Saturday.
“It might mean a bit more to me but the whole team will want to bounce back,” he said about Rovers’ imminent derby fixtures.
"It is important we don't get too down about it (the Millwall defeat), and come back and get some good results.
"We are all disappointed. It's hard to take a loss at home but we've got a game tomorrow and we need to stay positive and go into the next game on the front foot.
"It is important that we bounce back quickly and the team gets together and we get some positive results."
Indeed the nature of the Championship, with games coming thick and fast heading into the festive period, could be the key to Rovers regaining some momentum according to Henley.
"Games coming quickly is important when you want to bounce back," he added.
"There is going to be game after game in the Championship and we knew that coming into it. It is important we stay on an even keel and take every game as it comes."
Henley added that the squad was frustrated with the weekend defeat to Millwall coming with two goals in the final 20 minutes, but determined to turn it round with double derby day delight.
"They were fantastic strikes but we were all very disappointed," he said. "It was a bad result for us but they were a difficult team to break down.
"We weren't quite on it and didn't quite have the final ball. If we had been a few more chances might have come off and it might have been a different game."

What's it like bring way behind Everton in the league (again)?
Ha ha you work shy, smack addled, thieving, bin dipping, whining, self pitying scouse coward. Still, I'll bet it's 'not your fault' eh?
No wonder you heart the dingles so much, they're a bunch of racist dole chimps - just like Liverpool fans!

What with the SU SU SUICIDE 'middle aged p1ssed up scrubbers' SQUAD on full anger patrol and looking for aggro, I'd never be that brave to consider daisy chains....
the only chains on show will be those fake ones all the Jabba the Hut lookalikes won on Blackpool pleasure beach on the family holiday....
By the way George it's Rovers75, not Rover75....
you're getting mixed up with your family car you silly billy...

All wave at the little dingle! A typically witless one too! You seem easy to wind up, I've obviously squished you before, and you've come waddling back with a new identity. Aw, how cute!

Your white shell suit needs washing, you need some new Rockports, your sovereign rings have turned green, you think Bonleh is the centre of the Universe and you've not had your hair cut for an hour.
Oh and you Ford Sierra has a ' DARE TO DREAM' sticker in the back window .
and the whippets pregnant again because you just couldn't resist.......

Oh, and don't bother replying to this. Your posts are soul crushingly dull and it seems a bit tight mocking you. You're just not very good at this & you're out of your depth.
Thanks for mentioning me in two posts though, it's nice to see a single doooo wound up!
Bless you for trying though x.

I'd explain what that is, but then the dingles might think I'm sort of time traveller from the future.

There's every chance Rovers could get beat. We're on a slow but sure rebuilding process after the absolute carnage left behind by Kean.
If Bonleh actually manage to win a derby game, it will the reaction of how much that win means to all you dingles that really sums things up.
Yet more irony you should suggest we're getting wound up. It's absolute comedy gold watching the poison and hatred on those dingle faces! Every single one of you without fail is obsessed with hating Rovers. It's a rivalry we enjoy and relish. You easily pleased dingles exist for it. We've dished out so many derby day humiliations over the last 10 years or so, we've truly cemented our place as the upper class in this rivalry..... so if we lose, we take it on the chin rather than smash up our own town centre.
If you lose, can you cope with another humiliation? Can you handle even more mental torture?
