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.
