Have we got a loan replacement? We are short on defenders and we have let another one go out on loan... Don't get me wrong, up until the last couple of games I saw him as a total liability on the pitch and would have been glad for him to go and put a forward in defence... He has stepped his game up and I thought he was a contender for man of the match at one game.

I applaud Berg for what he is doing at rovers, we really look like a team that is going to be returning to the rovers we have always been. If he has a replacement then I suppose that comment is pointless, if he doesn't then I'm a tad bit worried... Lets see anyway eh?!

Well one hopes Berg will be able to chew Shebbmeisters ears and get a decent one soon. It'll be interesting how the new manager vs Global prat - sorry advisor - relationship pans out.

I'm more than sure that Berg will bring in another Samba type quality big a$$ CB and some more support in defence, I'm sure venkys will give him a budget to play with too, probably told him to get rid of the deadwood loners off the wagebill that kean brought in first though maybe? If this is the case then I recon we could be getting a few more loan-out stories before we see someone come in... I just think we are really thin at the back now so we need someone in soon!

Good decision by Berg. He was a poor signing and a very average player. We haven't had a quality RB in a long while. Kean could have signed Scott Sutter on a free who is a regular playing in Europa. Instead he chose this QPR castoff. Move back in for Sutter who still wants to play in England!!!

We haven't had a decent right back since, in their wisdom, they "let go " Emmerton.

Never once saw him play right back although he once played in goal when Harry Leyland was K.O'd during the pre match kick-in.
Seeing him don Harry's jersey was hillarious as it was many sizes too big and the sleeves came down over Bill's hands.

Yes. Chris Price was a good one. And what about little Johnny Price the winger , Great to watch him skin the full backs.

Dennis, I take my hat off to you with respect sir, Eckersley retired about 50 years ago and played about 400 times for Rovers, so you must be the same generation as Jack Walker. Hope you are still going down to Ewood Park, most of your mates are probably in the Riverside !

And just to add a curious twist wasn't Chris Price the right back in the promotion winning side, who was replaced by, Henning Berg ?!

Didn't Johnny Price play on the opposite wing to Tony Field in the good old day of 2-3-5 ?

As a BFC supporter it is really heartening to read the banter about players from the past! I know I'm old and often grumpy but this banter is what a 'comments' site should be about - not foul language and twisted mentalities hogging a page which is supposed to be about football!
Keep up the friendly, nostalgic banter......... whoever you support and 'love to hate' Football should always be the winner!

Those were the days when Rovers & Burnley fans used to watch each others games on alternate weeks - one of my mates had a season ticket for each club. Rivalry was still very much there but none of todays absolute hatred that many portray was in evidence. As for the twisted comments on this site that regularly appear from both sides - they are best ignored before developing into a slanging match. I am of the opinion that events on the field may have spread hatred to the terraces when I think back to the days of Lochead and England and the duels that took place and the sendings off. Now we have pub warfare and wrecking of town centres all in the name of sport

He is gone, lets move on

Well done Henning. Gets rid of a below par player (I'm being kind), instantly gets the fans onside, plus if Ipswich sign him in January, it frees up a wage bill for a new player. Good work.

I find it ironic that it comes after Orr played - in my opinion - his best game for us against Watford. Not that I want him back :)

@silverstan. We badly need more centre-backs not less. Keep Dann and Givet for now. Just add better players too.

Price left us during Don Mackay's tenure to Villa, so before promotion to the Prem.

Thought Chris Price came back for a second spell with us though? Kevin Hird was another good right back(with John Bailey left back) and don't forget Jim Brannigan who played 200+ games I think.Remember him scoring a 30 yard screamer into the Darwen End!! Modest but happy days!!

Cheers Greenscreenner
Stood on the Riverside for decades with my mates several of whom have now joined Uncle Jack looking down from that Grandstand in the sky watching the sad events of the last two years.
Abandoned my season ticket seat in the JW Stand at the end of last season as a protest against the Venkys/Kean regime taking the club away from the supporters.
This has left a gap in my life as a lifelong Rovers supporter and I am fervently hoping for Venkys somehow to get the club back running along the right track and for Henning,who I always admired as a player, to prove successful.
Hope I will be returning soon to spend a few more happy years!

Aren't we glad we didn't end up with Mick McCarthy!! So glad we got Berg, the future is looking bright. Henning will sort out the players who want to play for Rovers and ship out the dead legs, Come on you Blues!!!

Chris did play in our promotion to to the premiership Kenny brought him back from Villa, think he scored a vital goal for us at Ewood that kept us in the play-off positions after our bad run of results

I agree...he needs to ship out the dead legs but they have to be off the books - not just loaned out. Perhaps they should also get rid of Dunn, Pederson and Givet?? Pederson is allegedly on 50k a week so we need to get his wages off the balance sheet. I think for the good of the club, the fans need to know exactly who earns what!! It is important for the future of the club to have some transparency. We do not want to end up as another Portsmouth. Good to see Rhodes scoring twice tonight btw!!

Givet and Pederson both have the top level - big game experience that the squad and the team really needs. Both can still do a very good job for the Rovers at this level. To get rid of either this season would be a big mistake and I think Berg will know that. Agree about Rhodes, playing and scoring at International level will help him progress and help us also. The 8 million (which includes all the add-ons) is beginning to look like the steal of the season.

Sorry FR have to disagree....Givet hasn't been the player he was since the suspicious money issues. Time for him to go I think!!

And what did berg say about the Venky's, just a few short months ago? Something along the lines of: 'No credible manager would accept the role' Now they are all on the gravy train, they all appear to be the best of buddies. Sickening, absolutely sickening.

You quote that from where / who, prat 2? One of the voices in your head or the pi$$head sitting in the corner at your local?

Oh and thanks for the link........yet again.

Dennis, I take my hat off to you with respect sir, Eckersley retired about 50 years ago and played about 400 times for Rovers, so you must be the same generation as Jack Walker. Hope you are still going down to Ewood Park, most of your mates are probably in the Riverside !

Cheers Greenscreenner
Stood on the Riverside for decades with my mates several of whom have now joined Uncle Jack looking down from that Grandstand in the sky watching the sad events of the last two years.
Abandoned my season ticket seat in the JW Stand at the end of last season as a protest against the Venkys/Kean regime taking the club away from the supporters.
This has left a gap in my life as a lifelong Rovers supporter and I am fervently hoping for Venkys somehow to get the club back running along the right track and for Henning,who I always admired as a player, to prove successful.
Hope I will be returning soon to spend a few more happy years!

Does this mean we are going to recall Myles Anderson? His impressive presence on the Aldershot bench has guided them to the lofty perch of 24th in League 2. Surely it's time got the "New Chris Smalling" to make a return.

Dennis, I did a bit of soul-searching myself before renewing for the last 2 seasons, and watching the early matches this season I was honestly starting to regret it. But the entertainment against Birmingham reminded me why Ewood Park is in my blood and I'm not going to let a bunch of idiots ruin it for me. Find a pub to watch the match on Saturday, I hope and prey it will remind you that there's no better way to spend an afternoon. Let us know what you decide. Cheers.
