Goodwillie features in Blackburn Rovers reserve draw

DAVID Goodwillie was handed a run-out as Blackburn Rovers’ reserve team played out a goalless draw against Bolton Wanderers in Leyland tonight.

Goodwillie has been out of the first team starting line-up for the last three games and played 60 minutes to maintain match fitness.

Tom Eaves put a close range effort over for Bolton early on but Nick Blackman then fired a shot narrowly wide at the other end.

Bolton keeper Jay Lynch had to make a fine save to keep out Goodwillie’s head before the interval, before Jordan Slew put a shot over early in the second half.

Rovers: Kean, O'Connor, Aley, Knowles, Pearson, Anderson, Blackman, Fernandez, Slew, Goodwillie, Morris. Subs: Osawe, Urwin, O'Sullivan, MacLaren, Edwards, R Hanley.

WILL EWOOD BECOME THE NEXT ST JAMES’S PARK
The removal of 11 letters and one apostrophe.
That is all it took to sum up the supreme arrogance of football’s owners and administrators.
Their utter contempt for hard pressed supporters who scrape together scant disposal income each month and invest so much time and emotion for a life time simply for the great escape of following their beloved football team.
When Newcastle’s owner Mike Ashley’s henchman took their crow bars to the words ‘St James Park’ last week, Ashley did much more than vandalise the cathedral which dominates Newcastle’s skyline and the club which represents a proud and passionate region.
His actions symbolise a sneering sense of untouchability which stretches throughout football particularly those under dubious ownership including not only Newcastle but Rangers, Portsmouth and Blackburn Rovers.
It is well known and on public record that Mrs Anuradha Desai first mentioned the renaming of Ewood Park to Venky’s stadium during the first month of their disastrous ownership. There is no doubt that Mrs Desai is the ‘BOSS’ when it comes to the Rao family, any pretence otherwise from brothers Ventkatesh and Balaji is pure fantasy.
The word coming out of the Venky’s HQ in Pune is that Anuradha Desai will seek her revenge on Blackburn Rovers supporters for the treatment handed out to her ‘favour son’ Steve Kean by irate and unhappy fans, also for the belittling criticism Venky’s have received from all and sundry, including not only supporters but MP Jack Straw Blackburn Borough Council, Blackburn Chamber of trade and the useless Lancashire Telegraph.
Mrs Desai revenge will be swift and decisive, guaranteed to cause anguish and pain to all.
Ewood Park will become Venky’s Stadium this summer and holy hell will break loose. Venky’s new fast food in the UK could become targets for the ‘graffiti gangs’ as has happened at St James’s Park were the defiant Newcastle fans are not taking the renaming of the ground to ‘SPORTS DIRECT ARENA’ lightly. Newcastle owner can however point to the fact that he has invested a personal fortune reputed to be in excess of 300 million pounds. Unlike the Venky’s who bought Blackburn Rovers on the cheap, and we still have not had an explanation from the Walker Trust as to why.
All my previous warnings from the Venky’s takeover onwards, as posted on this website were ignored and condemned by all and sundry.
DO NOT IGNORE THIS WARNING, ACT NOW AND PRESERVE OUR HERITAGE AND BIRTHRIGHT, EWOOD PARK MUST REMAIN EWOOD PARK.
AND THE SOONER VENKY’S GO THE BETTER.

if they invest properly in our club then they can call it whatever they want...(as it will always be Ewood Park to all proper football fans) - but until they do show real intent and spend some money on players and a new manager then I would suggest that they best leave the Ewood Park name well alone..

Good post Reg
I think that if does do that then she should take out all the seating and sell them,install perches for all the chicken lovers as I do not think that all that many true supprters will be going
Think that the F A should investigate them before allowing a name chang to take place

What has happened to our reserve team last year Northern Section winners, this year only 1 win in 15 matches. Are Bruno, Anderson and Slew not ready for the first team yet? Considering how well the youngsters are doing in the FA Youth Cup maybe we should move some of these players on. Oh wait....

Have the LT done an article that hasnt been complimentary to "the situation" since the Kean Out editorial by the way?

Another day another winge, groundhog day at victor meldrew FC getting back to the article. I was a bit suprised that just as goodwillie seemed to hit a bit of form he has been benched again in favour of moderate who looks more like franco di santo evey time he plays, great ability but like a defender in the box.
