Just got in from the match and the pub, have to say I enjoyed it. Not the best footballing performance, but a lot of the players put in a lot of hard work. The substitution was strange and i have never seen anyone more dejected than Goodwillie walk off a football pitch.

The atmosphere was good, even with the small crowd and we had a laugh. It was like the old days, we spent 15 minutes complaining about the price of the pies and a lot of the match being abusive to the Ref, which is how a football match should be.

We didn't win the match because we went too negative for the last 15 minutes when there were plenty of spaces in their defence to exploit. Martin Olsen very good, except for a stupid yellow card, his brother worked hard, Grant Hanley very very good and Dann and Lowe also good, Kean had to make his first save in the 75th minute. Defensively much better than of late.

Won't mention the negatives, so the best player was Richards, excellent, he was strong and very good on the ball.

Hopefully Appelton will bring in players to solve the problem areas, he needs a real strong man leader in midfield, but the players gave everything tonight, they were clearly very very disappointed at the end.

Too late to get promotion this year, but on tonights performance I think that Appleton can do a good job, given time.

Don't be too upset FC Burnley as we all know that there will be loads of wins to come under the Appy one and I reckon we can still make the play-offs and if we do then anything is possible. One thing for sure is that we will finish higher than you monkeys as usual. That must really p you lot off year after year.....

One thing we can agree on is that Brighton spend too much time, to quote Walshy - Diving, dropping like they've been shot from normal challenges, attempting to con the ref (who kept falling for it). Out and out cheating all night from players who have it in their psyche to gain unfair advantage.

Poor decision bringing on Goodwillie, maybe drawing or getting beat ,he`s the man to bring on , 1-0 up minutes to go ,if you do bring someone on it has to be a player that can hold up play , a player that can keep the ball ,usually a midfieled ,little bit of inexperience there,but saying that , there was a desire there that has been lacking , give Goodwillie a run out in the cup game at Derby , see what he can do ,the lad deserves a run , he has a good ticker , but he needs games.

Does anyone agree with me that we should bring in a proper defensive coach ?

A significant improvement on Saturday's shambles and against a much better side in Brighton than Charlton.

Defensively we were excellent, we looked organised and I couldn't see Brighton getting back into it.

Then up steps the referee. Seems to have bowed to Poyet's complaints in awarding 5 minutes injury time despite no injuries and only 4 subs. I was expecting much better considering the media love that Brighton get. What I saw was appalling from the Brighton players. They truly are Poyet's team.

Anyway, the positives were there for me. The play-offs were always going to be a push after the Berg debacle. I'm willing to back Appleton over the rest of this season and the start of next to see what he can do.

You appear to forget there are two teams on a pitch during a game trying to win.

And it was a decent game.

Mind you I do agree if Goodwillie did try to kick himself he would miss.

I get the impression that if Rovers had won 6-0 you would still be ranting and raving against all and sundry on here.

Yet you say you turned up, were you the same at Ewood?

should have been at least 7! And yep, same Ewood and I am now on my way BACK to London having come up specially for the game.

The lads who had won the battle for 85 mins must be gutted that a second rate player from Scotland messed up big style. Don't blame the ref the blame lies firmly at the feet of Goodwillie. I have seen him mess up before in games as he has come on as a sub. I remember Odemwinge cutting inside the useless Scott (who again had been brought on as sub) to score their second which confirmed the rot last season.
Unfortunately Appleton does not know who he can trust yet and he will make these mistakes as he gives certain fringe players their chance, forget the play offs this season lets build a team across the remainder of this season and then hopefully enjoy a season like Cardiff are having this year. The BEST is yet to come and I think we must support Appleton to hopefully finish the season strongly and then build on that momentum for next season.

The only criticism I could make is that I could see some of the Rovers players tiring and we needed fresh legs, but apart from Goodwillie none where made. Personally while I would like nothing better than a good run which would get some pride and passion back in the place I'm not so sure I would want to get involved in the play offs this season. Too many open wounds all round and if we got to the play offs and failed they would be made worse. IMHO it looks like Shebby is out of it and irrespective of what some people think of the current structure, Shaw, Anew et al; they are football people. Appleton talks sense, he is being allowed to bring his own staff in, I listened to the assistant manager on Radio Rovers last night on my way to the match, bright, enthusiastic, just what we need. So lets rebuild, consolidate and have a real go at it next season.

The reason for this is that too often rovers have attempted to defend a 1-0 lead and conceded late on. Granted the same has happened tonight but personally I welcome the positivity of such a move.

I guess other people prefer to take a pessimistic view at any opportunity but not to worry I bet it must be a fulfilling life you live with the glass constantly being half empty!

I thought the team were much better tonight both individually and as a team. I was puzzled when Goodwillie was sent on but on the walk back up Cravens Brow to Darwen wondered if two up front was meant to keep some Brighton players from getting stuck in up the other end. Now the question is do we forfeit another cup game?

Looks like this could work if Appleton and his fitness coach, combined with Hendrys experience as a defensive expert might pay off.
They seem to be keen on keeping Hendry for a reason and its showing on the field. Looks like weve turned the corner a bit, just needs some minor tweaking and it could all come together.

Striker Wes Thomas has told AFC Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe that he wants to leave the south coast club after being dropped from the Cherries squad which made the mammoth journey to Hartlepool yesterday. Having been taken on loan at both Portsmouth and Blackpool by current Rovers boss Michael (The Dark Lord) Appleton, expect to see the former Crawley front man in the blue & white soon at Ewood. Can't personally see that he'll add much to your firepower, but MA likes him, and he may provide a good foil for Jordan Rhodes.

Maybe if goalkeeper Kean didn't waste so much time everytime he wants to take a kick and tries to be clever by letting dead balls run past him there might not have been so much added time and 3 points would have been in the bag.

performances were improving when Berg was manager and we lost some close games and unlucky at Huddersfield and Burnley as we conceded last minute goals. It points that matter.

Hey, Bazzer, I remember that semi. It was Hendry's first match for us. He was standing behind the centre forward (I think that was what we called 'em then) waiting for the ball to come down from a long high goal kick As the ball came down, Hendry nipped from behind t' striker, stood in front of him, shoved him backwards with his ars*, chested the ball and then completed a sublime sideways pass out to t' wing! Bloody hell, says I to myself, he'll do for me...and so on to Wembley. Happy days.

Hey, Bazzer, I remember that semi. It was Hendry's first match for us. He was standing behind the centre forward (I think that was what we called 'em then) waiting for the ball to come down from a long high goal kick As the ball came down, Hendry nipped from behind t' striker, stood in front of him, shoved him backwards with his ars*, chested the ball and then completed a sublime sideways pass out to t' wing! Bloody hell, says I to myself, he'll do for me...and so on to Wembley. Happy days.

I don't remember Hendry's backside but I remember the "crush" in the Blackburn End. And the joy...happy days indeed!

SO " Eckersley playing?"
We can assume you are the P.R. company that Venky`s have employed to talk up the credibility of some of the morons we have left at the club.

Well done Claret for once again proving that the dingle fraternity are not the sharpest tools in the box. Ever heard the phrase "people in glass houses should not throw stones"? Before slating the Rovers attendances of late, try looking at your own team. Not exactly packing your beloved Turd Moor to the rafters are you?!

Numpty!

exactly Navy - they also think Jacks money dried up last week. He's been dead well over a decade and since then we've had higher attendances season in season out. We still averaged 19,000 - 21,000 last time we were playing at this level due to the way the club was run - one big happy family.

untill Venkys appeared - hence the turmoil and lower gates.

Just another Rovers infatuated tobacco chewing banjo player from Bonleh. A thick sh1t riddled in envy and hate... gotta laugh though eh!

"I disagree with you totally, Goodwillie is not nor ever will be a striker."

32 goals in 74 appearances for Dundee United may suggest otherwise. I would agree that he is probably not a premiership striker but along with a number of others was never given a chance by Kean. The lad has never had a consistent run of games in his rovers career other than a few minutes here and there as a sub or being played out of position by Kean on the right wing. Dundee United supporters were sorry to see him go. At 23 he still has time on his side. It is interesting to see that he is now back in the match squad under Appleton. Goodwillie always struck me as a goal poacher but he is likely to be squad member whilst Rhodes is fit

They were stupid but if we are now going to start blaming fans who held onto the ball for losing a lead we are desperate. The team as a whole need to ensure they aren't in those situations at the end of a game when they know pressure will be increased and MA needs to make the right substitutions.

MR Desai, still reeling from the snowball to the head thought he was seeing double on tv and rang Shebby the Snake to have one of the Olssens removed.

I am sick of the apologists for such stupidity as Goodwillie showed and that includes Appleton.

To have lost out on two further points because of such callous behaviour is UNACCEPTABLE never mind apologising on Goodwillies part.

He is either:
1 - Totally thick.
2 - Totally frustrated with the lack of meaningful football in general at the moment
3 - A petulant type of person in general or
4 - Totally uneducated in defensive footballing terms.

We do have an opportunity to claim a playoff place this year and to build momentum but for players on thousands of pounds a week to not realise that acts of such stupidity can have such huge ramifications need to be fined or disciplined.

If we do not go up this season forget about consolidating, building etc for next season as a boat load of clubs will also be doing that (Leeds, Notts Forest, Leicester and if Newcastle QPR or the likes come down don't think that they will not be a force to be reckoned with next season either.

Instead of Appleton apologising for Goodwillie's pathetic action it should have been the complete and total opposite.

All the good work is negated if individual "Self Discipline" lets the team club and fans down.

Others also need to be aware of this for how CKR managed to stay on against Wolves after only 20 30 minutes etc is beyond me.

Eee, I remember that game, too. I was int' Darwen End, just behind the goal with the City fans (nightmare). Franny Lee up against Coddington. Cross comes over, Franny shuffles and Coddington disappears into the long grass. Franny chests down the ball, looks up at the goalie (Blacklaw?), smiles (I kid you not) and gives him the eyes to the left . Goalie dives to the left. Franny rolls the ball into the other corner. 4-1 and goodnight!

Does' t really matter we only got a point but disapointing to lose two points in the closing seconds of the match. Hope we learn from that, and take it on board for the future. We have almost no chance of qualifiying for the playoffs, as we will have to play nearly all of the teams above us AWAY and nearly all of the teams below us at HOME. so I think even if we were in the top six, it would take an enormous amount of luck to gain promotion. Lets hope we can build on this and put in a much better challenge next year. Hope Michael Appleton finds the money to buy an old Corporation Bus to park in front of the goals in the off season, because we need something better than we have at the moment, to stop conceding these late goals.

Stop making excuses Dangerous. The reason why you don't go it because Rovers are not in the Premier League. If Rovers were playing the like of Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool etc. you'd be there at Ewood faster than soft Mick no matter who owned the club. Stop deluding yourself.

Some people go and pay to watch the rubbish dished up at Ewood some decide to listen to the commentary/read press reports - all are entitled to commenT - but dont forget this, there are as many fans staying 'away' from Ewood as there are 'attending' (av att 10k stay aways appr 10k) and this is because of the way the club is being run by the Board/Owners and as one of the stay aways I will continue to comment about the match from commentary/press reports and will continue to sign off as I always do until these clowns are gone - many of us have made this decision and will stick by it until major changes are made - and not on the cheap!!!!!!!!!!!!
OUT WITH SHAW AGNEW SINGH VENKYS HENDRY COAR

Stop making excuses Dangerous. The reason why you don't go it because Rovers are not in the Premier League. If Rovers were playing the like of Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool etc. you'd be there at Ewood faster than soft Mick no matter who owned the club. Stop deluding yourself.

Can't argue with the facts.

As I said before, I almost want Venky's to make it just to see these thousands of glory hunters come crawling out of the woodwork like they were always intending to come back.

Support the team, or don't support the team. Everyone has that choice, but coming online on forums and articles and regurgitating the same moaning dummy spits each day and giving the genuine fans supporting the team a bad name is just plain selfish.

Venkys may be voted the worst owners in footballing history, but Rovers fans aren't far behind in that nomination, thanks to the boo-boys and the absent from matches but vocal minority of glory hunters and dummy spitters like Deluded Dave.

What you actually think you're gaining from your repetitve moaning on LT is beyond my comprehension - apart from providing more hilarity and enjoyment to those Dingles that lurk on Rovers articles because their sad empty lives crave the attention missing from their equally sad and empty articles.

Also, ever stop to think what our fellow Rovers, reading your posts think of you?

Well, when we've been Champions of England we've achieved it on merit. Not bought it.

We've got further on in the equivalent of the Champions league than your shower could dream of.

When we played you last we were the better side.

We are currently above you in the SAME division.

And next season in the Chumpionship, as you lot loved to call it, despite the cheapest season tickets in the dividion do you reckon your gates will really be bigger than ours!?

Cos that boycott till Kean goes is dragging on a bit.

You can come back now lads, put that old Man U top down for a bit longer.

So my simple answer is this we are bigger and better.

Very true blue - Venkys have been an absolute car crash in terms of running a football club which has been highlighted ten fold by the fact we were one of, if not the best (relatively speaking) run football clubs in the country. Add that to Jacks staggering investment and Rovers' subsequent success in the 90s and what you end up with is a generation of Rovers fans that have basically been spoiled and can't handle the fact we've been beaten up badly and just want to curl up and die. I know it's hard to take whats happened and we've all been crippled by the awful decisions that Venkys have made but some of the whingers on here need to realise that the boycotting was supposedly to get Kean out (I was one of em) and he's gone. I am certain Appleton will clear out the dross Kean brought in but needs support. Do these stay away whine bags not realise that whilst the players running out to a half empty stadium with an edgy and poor atmosphere we will NEVER go back up. Players sense the tension and end up dreading home games. Part of the reason we went up in our second season under Souness last time we were in this league was because the crowds were 20,000+.The atmosphere in Ewood was always positive and full of spirit which makes the players realise what the club means to the fans. For the love of god all you whining toys out of the pram 'fans' need to man up and get back to supporting the club through thick and thin. Don't let the b*stards grind you down. Venkys know our feelings, especially after 'snowball gate' so lets stick two fingers up at the lot of em and go and support our team to give us some hope of rescuing this horror season. Your club needs YOU! Rant over, cue abuse - RTID

I am sick of the apologists for such stupidity as Goodwillie showed and that includes Appleton.

To have lost out on two further points because of such callous behaviour is UNACCEPTABLE never mind apologising on Goodwillies part.

He is either:
1 - Totally thick.
2 - Totally frustrated with the lack of meaningful football in general at the moment
3 - A petulant type of person in general or
4 - Totally uneducated in defensive footballing terms.

We do have an opportunity to claim a playoff place this year and to build momentum but for players on thousands of pounds a week to not realise that acts of such stupidity can have such huge ramifications need to be fined or disciplined.

If we do not go up this season forget about consolidating, building etc for next season as a boat load of clubs will also be doing that (Leeds, Notts Forest, Leicester and if Newcastle QPR or the likes come down don't think that they will not be a force to be reckoned with next season either.

Instead of Appleton apologising for Goodwillie's pathetic action it should have been the complete and total opposite.

All the good work is negated if individual "Self Discipline" lets the team club and fans down.

Others also need to be aware of this for how CKR managed to stay on against Wolves after only 20 30 minutes etc is beyond me.

If you were there and saw the look on Goodwillie's face you might think different.

Yes it cost us heavily, but the fact of the matter is we were only winning from a penalty and as good as we played, we failed to score a second to give us the cushion we needed.

The penalty we got was a soft one anyway, many wouldnt have got it and a 1-1 result, whilst deeply disappointing both in the manner it happened and the timing, was a fair result at the end of the day for both teams.

MA is still playing someone else's squad. Plenty of names have been mentioned and we need to move on from this defeat and see who he brings in to change the dynamics of the squad. Murphy with his head in his hands yesterday opitimised everything the players and freezing cold fans were feeling. Goodwillie walking off the field, his dejected face said it all.

Easy to judge the team and be negative, but as many who attended have said on here and around the net, the positives of seeing a team playing its heart out for 98 mins gave much comfort that we don't need a wholesale firesale of the squad. The team were playing for the manager and trying to prove they should be kept and if MA can do that within two games, we can at least take heart that better results from more consistent play will come soon enough.

As I said recently, stop thinking play-offs and start believing in a team that isnt heading further down the table. If promotion isnt within our reach this season, we should be looking for a team that not only challenge for promotion next season, but stay up and win games rather than become the newest premiership 3 point gifting battering rams we became last season.

For all those complaining about the state of the club, if MA gets his transfers this next week, try coming back and getting behind the team and being the 12th man rather sitting behind a keyboard whining like a spoilt brat about whose fault it was we got relegated.

I noticed, the talk of "administration if we dont get promoted" and "asset stripping" are popping up everywhere, now the Trust goons have lost their only voice in Shebby "you know" Singh in the club.

Shame on you. Get behind the team you bunch of day dreaming no-hopers.
