Super result for Rovers, grinding it out when teams around us are dropping points. If we can get a win at Brighton and if Leeds can take some points at Boro who have to travel to Hull after that the table could look very different in a few weeks. COYB!!!

If head tennis were an Olympic event we could be nailed on for gold but we were totally devoid of creativity in midfield and Rhodes, as usual, was left to pick up scraps. With a little more effort in the second half we got the scrappy goal we needed to scab the three points but Ipswich could, and probably should have scored at least twice in the last ten minutes. Nobody will persuade me that this performance or this team is anywhere near as strong as where we were at the end of Steve Kean`s tenure but I am sure that many on here will try. I see that Appleton says he wants three new players next week. He should go out and recall Formica, To China and Vucevij.
P.s. apparently D J Cambell was due to start in the first half but disappeared to get a cup of tea.

So a lot in common with the Bristol Game really, first half was two poor teams playing too much head tennis and struggling to play football. For the first 20minutes we had the chuckle brothers at the heart of defence but once they settled down it was all pretty turgid.Second half improved with some decent chances created for Rhodes who was unlucky with a string of headers and saw a low drive expertly saved. The goal was scruffy, but deserved, but I'm saving my plaudits tonight for CKR who put his heart into a fantastic battling performance, Hanley was solid and got MOTM but for a guy criticized on here as lazy and selfish I thought colin as immense today. Final thought goes to SRVP who spent last night flying in the face of popular opinion telling us all we were wrong about Bradley Orr, sorry pal we weren't. He is not a championship level defender and was woeful again today. Very nearly cost us 2 points getting turned onto his ar5e by a championship winger. Nuff said. So not a day to be negative, natural order of things restored in East Lancashire, my glass is half full, COYB

Rome wasn't built in a day Jonny.
After the shambles and disarray of the last couple of years we just might be at the point of turning the corner.
It isn't pretty at the moment but Appleton is having to start again almost from scratch. At least he's got the players showing a bit of fight and organisation, but I think it will take another couple of transfer windows, and backing from Venkys, before he can turn us into a ' footballing team. '
We're not suddenly going to turn into Barcelona overnight.

Wrong again. Orr lost his man once, possibly twice, as did every other player on the park today. A Championship defender getting skinned by a Championship winger isn't anything for you to be crowing about. Premiership defenders get skinned by Premiership wingers all the time, it doesn't make them bad players at their respective levels, it's a law of averages that it's going to happen. I notice that you fail to mention the tackles that he made, particularly the match saving block near the end that saved us two points. Enough said.

It's nice to have a Dingle-free debate - although I dare say they'll be on here after they've exhausted their Special Brew, and sisters - but I do feel slightly disappointed that quite a few of our own fans have flooded their page with their goading. I can understand that some people just want to give them a taste of their own medicine but, personally, I don't see finishing above Burnley as an achievement, it's more of a bonus. We've not achieved anything either, yet, so should we be lowering ourselves to their level?

Evening Mr French ;-)

Turgid first half bordering on the game being put under investigation for irregularities by the authority's !

The goal just about summed up the game as a whole, but hell, 3 points and the scruffy sops crying into their beer as they fall below the mighty B&W's.

Feeling good at present with the progress although that said would dearly love to see more Arte as time moves on ?

Clean sheets are the foundation that bring success to the good ship Ewood.

Keep on keeping on Mr Appy, and well done the boys(first half apart)

Had a good laugh on't match today lots of smiling faces. A sight to behold, me thinks ;-)

Enjoy your evening Mr French - by jibber-di I'm going to !

Cheers Woody.....another smiley saturday night :-) I had almost forgot what it felt like to be looking up the table and be in serious contention for a top six play-off spot. Still a way to go I know - and we have a lot to do yet. Some folks were saying that we still have the 'new manager syndrome' to happen, which sometimes kicks-in after a few initial wins - but I don't think that will happen in this case.

I reckon we would have probably lost this match two months ago, so we have turned a big corner already. Well done the manager for getting us back into some sort of shape very quickly and for making the season one where we definitely have something to aim for and play for.

And no word from the shebmeister.....ever

ything is looking good though you never know just what waits around the corner?
Promotion or Commotion?
With the Venkys you just never can tell but lets enjoy the win as we look down on the scummers again...

Time for you to go back to the golf course for a round of that middle class pastime played by working class wanna-be's. You must have seen a different game to me. 1st half dross but last 25 mins were excellent. Did you miss the 3 chances that Rhodes would have put away on another day? Could have ended up 4-3 either way.
I'm not convinced , but for christs sake enjoy the win, a hard earned 3 pts and being above the claret 5cum.

Nobody can expect the manager to win every game and get it alright all the time, There will be games to lose and draw ,but so far he is making all the right noises for me.
So he has my support to do the best for Blackburn rovers.
Has for a return to Ewood park I am going to see what happens with the Venky clowns, But I think I will be getting new season tickets for next season ,as we both really have missed going ,enjoying the crowd and people who we used to sit around,our seats have not been taken up by anybody else.

Hi Darener, I have never stopped going and never will so I can't agree with any reason you offer for not going. That is how you see it though and I suppose therefore that is your choice. However, I must take issue with you to suggest Venkys have very deep pockets. Rovers would be on deep truoble if Venkys pulled out. Venkys are backing Rovers I would say at thelment more than any owner is backing a championship side. We could harp on about Venkys and the mistakes they have made of which there have been many but it does appear they may be learning at last. Time to support the team and the way we are going you just never know. It's only 4 points now.

All the best woody we will chat at some point....I see that Jonny bovril hasstill got a lot to say for himself ha ha !
Kind regards to you mr bovril.....

Hey up B & B. good to hear from you.
The last few games have been great, with laughs, groans, cheers etc all in equal measure. Just as it should be on a football match, and none of it related to the manager, venkys, shebby s. just good old fashioned football banter.
It will be great to have you back on board and maybe we can share an odd away day again?
See you soon fella.
Aye

I am not saying all perfect at Rovers ,But mr Appleton seems to be having a calming effect on the team and bringing back some stability to the club.
Mr Appleton seems to have a plan of what he is doing, and we seem to be heading in the right direction.
Well done to the team and mr appleton
Lets hope this continues.

Now then Mr Breakfast ;-)

Long time no speak mate.

The dark clouds are lifting followed by some not unlike Don Mckay days with a defense to die for - mean, lean and ugly as sin !

This man can lead us out of the fine mess we found ourselves in, and your presence will be much awaited, young B&B ;-)

Hope all is well over your neck of the woods ?

Arte et labore

Hey up mr Woody ! Hope all is well for you ,Let's hope them who own and the shebby bloke let mr Appleton get on with job of managing .
I think that Dj bloke could be a astute addition to the team (does he spin the old 45s with the name DJ???)
Nobody can expect the manager to win every game and get it alright all the time, There will be games to lose and draw ,but so far he is making all the right noises for me.

Fbw.....have to agree with you reluctantly. The Venky's do seem to have realised that football should be run by football people. If they stay in the background, signing the cheques as and when required, then I suppose they could be tolerated. Since Shebby disappeared things have looked up. Does anybody know who kidnapped him?
