Leon Best in frame for Blackburn Rovers cup start
10:06am Thursday 7th March 2013 in Football
By Andy Cryer, Blackburn Rovers reporter
Leon Best
MICHAEL Appleton expects Leon Best to be ‘banging his door down’ in pursuit of an FA Cup quarter final start – as the Rovers boss considers turning to him to fire them to Wembley.
Rovers’ powerful striker made his long-awaited debut for the club as a second half substitute in Tuesday’s 1-0 defeat at Bolton and is now pushing for his first start for the club after spending the season on the sidelines.
Hopes were high following Best’s circa £3million move to Ewood Park from Newcastle United in the summer but, after suffering a cruciate knee ligament injury in pre-season, the 26-year-old has been left frustrated.
Now, back in the frame, Best will be bidding for a place alongside Jordan Rhodes in attack for Sunday’s trip to Millwall, with QPR loanee DJ Campbell cup-tied for the clash.
Appleton said: “You look at the situation we are in, in terms of people being cup-tied for the weekend, and it is one of them. I have no doubts whatsoever he will be banging on my door, trying to get a place in the starting line up.
“Obviously that is a decision between myself and the staff. If it is right to start him and he is up for it and ready for it then we will do.
“If not, then it will be a gradual thing from our point of view.”
Best came on with 10 minutes in Tuesday night’s late defeat at the Reebok Stadium, having played in two reserve matches since his injury.
And Appleton admits the sight of Best in a Blackburn Rovers shirt was a huge boost to the club.
He said: “It will be massive – not just for him, but for the whole squad and supporters. To see him with his shirt on and on the pitch is a good feeling from my point of view.
“The thought of having him available week-in and week-out certainly whets the appetite, gives me options, and he is a player opposition players and managers won’t fancy coming up against.”
Meanwhile, the Rovers boss praised his side’s display in Tuesday night’s defeat to Bolton, despite seeing Chris Eagles’ injury time strike inflict their fourth league defeat in six games.
He said: “I asked the players to be true to themselves more than anything. I am glad I got the performance I got tonight because that is what I am like as a person. What you see is what you get.
“We were 100 per cent committed, never say die and never gave in and the players showed that tonight. I think we will need that on Sunday.
“They could have taken my criticism of them on Saturday the wrong way, but if they did take it the wrong way they are kidding themselves and cheating everyone.
“Luckily for me I got the response I wanted and they look a group of people who are going to be good to work with in the coming months and years. The more honest performances we have like that the better.
“It is going to be one hell of a cup tie against Millwall on their own patch.”
Meanwhile, Millwall have been dealt a blow ahead of Sunday’s game with Blackburn Rovers after winger James Henry was ruled out for the rest of the season with a serious knee injury.

I don't think Campbell has had a shot in 7 games never mind scoring.

After his first half display against Peterborogh I hope not - he showed no desire to compete / will to win whatsoever.
He's only here for the money!
P.S. Is Dunny fit yet?
It's the derby game in 10 days time and he usually tries to make an effort for that.
He's made just 6 or 7 appearances this season in all competitions.
Most of them were cameo appearances and he never plays the full 90 minutes.
He appears to be content to pick up his £2M pa - what a disgrace!
And he calls himself a fan.

Best will hopefully make a long awaited appearance and if not why not start with Goodwillie whom has not been given a chance under Appleton. Also what has happened to Nunes? The only winger whom could be available with a bit of pace to supply crosses, has anybody seen him recently or he is on a dodgy Venkys contract? Also how about starting Givet at left back to give us some more experience and unfortunately we may see Murphy in the middle walking around unless Dunn makes a miraculous recovery to this never ending mystery injury!!!!

I'd play Gomes behind Rhodes tbh or even give Badf@nny a run out, saying that playing 2 up top hasn't really worked for MA, it might be wiser to stick a extra body in midfield.
Back to Best, he needs to be reintroduced via the subs bench for the next few games. We don't want him injured agin!

Scraped a win at bottom of league Barnsely
Beat a disjointed Forrest " big eck"
Nows he's a world beater?
Must admit though the football under Berg was way ahead of the football now.
Thought Berg was a very unlucky manager.

It isn't only Appy who isn't picking Goodwillie, none of the other four managers we have had this season picked him either, why? But apart from the fact that he and Rhodes might get in each others way, they are pretty similar players, I would give him a chance on Sunday.
OK Best cannot be match fit but don't forget he was banging them in last season for Newcastle, 10 in about 15 games in the PL until Demba Ba or the other guy (Cisse?) came along and took his place.
Best is proven class, as long as the injury hasn't took his pace off him, best to bring him on slowly for next season.
Stating the bleeding obvious it's midfield where we are struggling, doesn't matter if we have four strikers on the pitch if we can't get the ball to them.

You say that he is desperate to be involved then why has he not featured under Bowyer or Appleton?
Is it still the calf strain injury that has kept him out of the team for months?
Surely to God he is better than some of the crap that have been playing in midfield.
Interestingly, if you log onto the Rovers web site / stats / appearances - David Dunn does not appear.
I then tried again on the Rovers web site / first team / player profiles and guess what - again no David Dunn.
Does this mean he is no longer at the club?
Perhaps someone could enlighten us?
Is David Dunn still a player at Blackburn Rovers Football Club?

sitting back and counter-attacking is Ok if you have a very solid defence and quick pacy attackers, rovers dont, they are shaky in both aspects, against certain teams it is a great tool to nuliify their strengths, but it shouldnt be necessary in every single game, it makes it far easy to set up against. add to that the lack of awareness of players that supposed to be providing the service in the final third, means what few little chances they have are wasted when they are missed altogether in their desperate attempts to score a goal

How come he is a local lad and we dont know whats happened to him. Unless he is injured, its a travesty that Murphy has got in ahead of him. Dunny might not be the player he was, he might not last a full game but 15 minutes with a bit of skill would be more than Murphy has shown.

Jones is unavailable but no mention of whether Murphy will be back.
After his first half display against Peterborogh I hope not - he showed no desire to compete / will to win whatsoever.
He's only here for the money!
P.S. Is Dunny fit yet?
It's the derby game in 10 days time and he usually tries to make an effort for that.
He's made just 6 or 7 appearances this season in all competitions.
Most of them were cameo appearances and he never plays the full 90 minutes.
He appears to be content to pick up his £2M pa - what a disgrace!
And he calls himself a fan.
You say that he is desperate to be involved then why has he not featured under Bowyer or Appleton?
Is it still the calf strain injury that has kept him out of the team for months?
Surely to God he is better than some of the crap that have been playing in midfield.
Interestingly, if you log onto the Rovers web site / stats / appearances - David Dunn does not appear.
I then tried again on the Rovers web site / first team / player profiles and guess what - again no David Dunn.
Does this mean he is no longer at the club?
Perhaps someone could enlighten us?
Is David Dunn still a player at Blackburn Rovers Football Club?

Modan is loving Indian Billionaires the same people who are exploiting the poor masses in India.There are 350 million people in India on poverty and go to bed hungry and the richest 200 Billionares modan says have enormous wealth like kings with palaces rolls royces and private jets .There is wealth in India but the unequal distribution of wealth have devided the rich and poor on a scale not seen anywhere in the world except in India.India has 400 millon middle class and some 1 million dollar millionaires and some estimate of around 300 dollar Billionaires.Then there unbelievable poverty the people on lowest level on planet earth the people who live on bare survival level.
India is the second fastest growing economy in the world and set to become economic superpower in 2030 but can India tackle the terrible poverty where more than 350 million people who live in squalor and go to bed hungry.

There's also a lack of belief in the team right now that creates a vicious circle. it's evident when you see how often the man on the ball turns back because he's being closed down and there is little or no movement ahead of him. But the guys stop making the runs because they don't believe they will get the ball they want and probably find themselves offside or out of position.
I really don't like it, but I can see why its difficult to deliver confident flowing football at the moment.
