Blackburn Rovers wait on duo
1:52pm Thursday 13th December 2012 in Football
BLACKBURN Rovers will assess the fitness of Danny Murphy and David Dunn ahead of Saturday’s Championship trip to Blackpool.
The duo missed last week’s 4-1 home defeat to Cardiff City because of injury and Rovers will make a late decision on their availability.
Nuno Gomes is expected to miss out once more with a hamstring problem.

Dunny is a loyal servant to the club and should be reconised as that. He is Blue& White and respected for that. He does Charity work etc. and is good for the club. However, I think he is more suited now as an impact player, someone to turn the match round at half time if we need it - God at the moment we need it!

Wow half the whingers wanting Dunny back cos at least he show fight & spirit & half just calling him a useless fat git!!! Most people thuoght Dunny had a good game last time he played, Yes he' not 100% fit but talented enough to last 3/4's of a game or come on as sub. As A rovers fan of 40 yrs I gotta say most of you are such tossers !! Lately you hounded Andrews out. The crap you used to give Atko & Wilcox & they were in the championship winning team!!

On a par with asking if Neville Southall and Bruce Grobellar could meet modern PL fitness standards.
On another note, I agree: get Nuno Gomes out on that field asap, get him starting games and let's actually make use of what could be the best strike partnership in the league if it was given a proper chance.

Dunny it's time you retired mate as you are physically not fit for purpose. The club could put the money to better use on a player that could give some service and a proper contribution to the clubs promotion push.

I almost want us to get promoted to see how many whinging moaners skulk back pretending they never left lol.
We are where we are with the fans that we have and regardless of what the "I was there in the black and white days" brigade come out with, we were never going to keep more than 15k gates after relegation, so theirs about 2k or so we could tease back if Venky's brought in the right people and we started playing better.
We will only see those 20k+ gates if we get promoted, and that, is a just a sad fact we have to get used to.

If only blueblooded........I hope so but their track record doesn't fill me with confidence. We wait every transfer window for that influx of quality but apart from Rhodes it doesn't happen. The transfer window is almost here and I await with baited breath.

If you can't support the regime then that's another matter, maybe it's time that someone started up a fans team, like a Rovers FC and they could ground share with Langho Juniors!

juanbbien wrote:Hmmm Ryan Giggs won player of the year at the age of 36 and only started 12 league games. If we get 25 appearances from Dunny that'll be enough to warrant his presence, which we're in desperate need of. Danny on the other hand who doesn't struggle with injuries quite the same, perhaps due to a lack of any direct or incisive movement, could possibly be used as spare parts for Dunny, thus not rendering him entirely useless. (That may be a little harsh, Murphy will probably play better alongside Dunny, allowing Lowe to do the graft.) Stefjam you're generalisation is bang on, some people for whatever reason though will take it as a personal attack, something to do with hyper-critical parents, narcissus complex, summat along those lines. Perhaps in future you should reference seat numbers to avoid misdirection!

Apparently his wages have not been dropped he has just recently moved into a massive 2 acre mansion with it`s own swimming pool in Division Lane the most expensive properties in the area , so he must be still on his 8,000 pounds a week , and he is still under bankruptcy administration ! there is definately something amiss and in fact corrupt at Rovers , this need investigating.

Murphy - don't care. Dunny - don't really care. Nuno Gomez - REALLY CARE. He must be the most underrated player to ever grace Ewood park? Frankly I can't understand why when hes fit he isnt automatically on the team sheet. Hes not a little fattie like CKR, im sure he can manage 60-90 mins per game.
are doomed to fail.

The last time Gomez or any of the Portugese lads played as first teamers was under Kean.

Unless you play the best players available to you, you will go nowhere.
Freezing out good players, and not playing others for non footballing reasons is completely unprofessional and ridiculous. No manager can suceed under such circumstances. The Venkys need to wake up and realise why the club has gone into free fall since they took over. From 11th in the premier to 13th in the championship in the space of just over 2 years. Well done. This is after stupid statements such as top 6 in 3 season and Champions league football in 5 seasons. What a bunch of fruit cakes.

Dunny could be player/assistant manager! Shebby could save brass that way!
Waste your talent, eat lots of pies/kebabs. and go out drinking in Harwood/Blackburn every other night.
Hmm...maybe not, on second thoughts.

Hey I agree with that. But what did my comment have to do with your responce??? Let me make my comment clearer, picking on individuals on the pitch is not going to help, what has been an utter shambolic running of a once excellent FC by the Venks, Kean & whoever has the misfortune to now be involved. I to have more or less given up. I see our only hope is that Venkys sell on at some point, hopefully soon.
