Kean admits Rovers were too deep

STEVE Kean admits his Blackburn Rovers side were too deep in the second half of today's 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town.

The Rovers boss believed yellow cards to Danny Murphy and Dickson Etuhu allowed the hosts to seize the initiative – but insists it is not a bad point to open their Championship season.

Colin Kazim-Richards gave Rovers the first half lead but, under pressure for most of the second half, a Jason Lowe own goal earned Ipswich a deserved point.

Kean said: “I think the two big factors in the game were the chance that falls to Colin when it narrowly goes over. If that goes in the game is dead and buried.

“Then what affected us getting a lot deeper is the cards for Danny Murphy and Dickson Etuhu. They found themselves in a difficult position because they can't make a mistimed tackle.

“That stopped us putting pressure on the ball and we got a little bit deep and ended up giving away too many free kicks and too many penalty area entries.

“When the lads take a card they are reluctant to push in. In the first half there were lots of tackles and lots of interceptions.

“We were left with the decision to change them or hold on and try and score a second, which we nearly did..

“Full credit to Ipswich I think they are an excellent side and this is a very difficult place to come. “

Same as last season then you utter joke of an idiot. Players out of their natural positions, you haven't learnt anything have you? Plonker

Score early, can't capitalise, drop back, defend, can't last for 90, let one in, two points lost, been here before ? One game plan, can't change to reflect what's going on on the pitch ... have that etched on your tombstone, Steve. Still, take the positives out of it and get back on the training ground to work on it. Go away, you w*nker. You will NEVER NEVER learn. Just f*ck off. You're useless.

Same old crap coming from this cretins mouth. Nothing I didn't expect though. If murphy n etuhu being booked have them the chance to turn the game round then why not take one of them off? It's easy to assess what went wrong after a game... Your just so useless you can't see what's happening during the game and have no idea how to see a game out or put a game out of sight by using subs and tactics. You Steve kean are a joke.

Unlike Kean BRFC fans will recall that Alan Shearer (explanatory note for Shabby: Shearer was a very good English footballer) famously remarked that "there are no easy games.....except away to Ipswich". Kean got caught out today because the team tactics were to sit back after scoring and, surprise, surprise, the defence were poor. A good insight to the rest of the season. Same as last season.

Other big factors Syeve are that Ipswich also missed some big chances so not just Richards narrow miss.
Also if ur 2 holding midfielders have both been booked and can no longer put their foot is then use a substitute u idiotic person.

Sat back too far , hmmm well who's fault is that ...... Yours

So yet again your inability to manage a football team has cost us points.

Pack you bags and get out of our club. Do us all a favour.

This is how far we've plunged when Kean says Ipswich is a difficult place to go to. That alone should prove this man is not up to the task. Unless Venky's get rid quickly they can wave goodbye to a return to the Premier League and the lucrative tv rights that go with it.

8:14pm Sat 18 Aug 12

De ja Vue - here we go again - Keans tenure will go down in the annals of Rovers as" the wasted years"

Once again we can not defend a lead - we can not kill sides off when we get ahead - we drop back even further the longer the game goes on - the tactics have been the same since Kean took over there is no Plan B ever

What is it about playing players out of position - Lowe was never and never will be a left back - why not Adam Henley or does Kean prefer accomodating his chums - Bradley Orr. As for bringing on David Dunn as a pair of fresh legs with Goodwillie who runs the channels well on the bench - sums the guy up

You need to do more in the Championship than pick up an odd point away from home - ask your friend Shebby - is that a clock I hear ticking - it should be

The second half was so one sided you just knew Ipswich would score. 7/8 premiership players on the field for rovers and they couldn't make one pass to our own players. They dominated totally the second half, a better side would have burried today. Sort it out or we will be in the same
Position as last season. Kean just as to go.

Senior players give a hint for change in this way without asking the manager while the play is ON.

I'm an american who has been following rovers for a while now. I chose to be a fan of the team because brad friedel was the keeper. Since then I've always followed the team and I have to say I've never seen anything like this. I check up on rovers news every day for the last 10 years. Venky's could be the worst owners in the history of sports. I've never seen a coach/manager get so much support for so little production. In a time and place where people only care about what others have done for them, Venky's should be asking the question: What has Kean done for the club. Forget all of the money Venky's has been able to pocket from the sale of players and the subsequent bargain deals Kean has put on the pitch, The money we would be getting from being in the Prem has to be more, right?

merlinrabbit says...
10:16pm Sat 18 Aug 12

How can Kean judge whether Portman Rd is a hard place to go when its the first game of the season in this league. If the team were too deep why didnt he get them forward. I cannot bear another season of this nit wit in my club. Trouble is, for those of you waiting, he wont be sacked. If his job depended on results, he wouldnt be here now. Its all a ploy to appease the fans for another few weeks. The other thing is that none of those that can sack Kean know enough about football to recognise why he is the wrong man. The Raos have only just started watching the game and Shebby is a numpty only second to Kean. They havent got as much knowledge of football as the average football fan so they dont know that he makes the same mistakes, that he gives the same excuses and that he chooses the wrong players. The midfield today had no pace, they couldnt get forward so gave up. Etuhu just kept passing back to whoever had passed to him putting them under pressure. Kean doesnt know how to get a game under control with tactics. We might as well have Ken and Barbie stood in the technical area. Somethings gotta give quickly

I have to agree with above comments. I have decided to get a season ticket, if only to get me out of the house and get a few beers. But if we play deep, sit back and defend (even when we are losing in games) then league one will be our destiny and I will have to go shopping with the wife before the seasons out. This game should have been killed off as I don't see Ipswich being one the stronger teams in this division this season.

Surprised to see so many Rovers fans complaining that it was a poor result....maybe a lot of fans expectations are higher than most people expected. But we did really need a win to get the season started in the right way. A draw away is OK, better one point away than none - but it was a poor Ipswich side and we should have done better. Especially after going one up.

As for Kean's comments - I have given up reading them as they begger belief and bear no semblance to reality.
They are always without fail so ridiculous it is embarrassing to see them in print, and usually they are an insult to every Rovers fans intelligence.

If two midfielders were booked and we were playing too deep as a consequence - then why did he not do his job and switch things round? He could have done a few things like bring another midfielder on or moved Lowe into midfield.....really the only thing he should do now is leave the club. Tomorrow would be a good day.

As for Kean's comments - I have given up reading them as they begger belief and bear no semblance to reality.
They are always without fail so ridiculous it is embarrassing to see them in print, and usually they are an insult to every Rovers fans intelligence.

If two midfielders were booked and we were playing too deep as a consequence - then why did he not do his job and switch things round? He could have done a few things like bring another midfielder on or moved Lowe into midfield.....really the only thing he should do now is leave the club. Tomorrow would be a good day.
Evening Mr French..

Clinical remarks and spot on.

I was just going to say:

Kean, get out of your chuffing dugout and manage the blasted team !

It was obvious to every chuffing man and his dog that Ipswich were lining up the scope for the equalizer for 20 minutes or so and kean steps out of his DUG OUT and guess what ?

THEY SCORE !

Genuis !

He changed nothing in my estimation and we payed the price for hoofing the ball, yes hoofing the ball, to Kazim(cracking debut by the way) only for the ball to arrive back - PRESSURE !

I know it was weather to rival your neck of the woods, but they didn't need to treat the ball as though it was red hot too !

MGP and Etuhu = stinker imo ?

That said, under normal circumstances we would be over joyed at a draw(look at our record v Ipswich at Portman Rd), but these are not normal times, as we know.

Had a great day mixing it with the fans on the coach and a fine day was had by all. The support for the club is strong even in this adversity, and I'm pleased to have gone down.

Kean must still go, I'm afraid. Nothing as changed on that, and we have to hope he his now on a results based solution ?

I could go on Mr French :)

I'm an american who has been following rovers for a while now. I chose to be a fan of the team because brad friedel was the keeper. Since then I've always followed the team and I have to say I've never seen anything like this. I check up on rovers news every day for the last 10 years. Venky's could be the worst owners in the history of sports. I've never seen a coach/manager get so much support for so little production. In a time and place where people only care about what others have done for them, Venky's should be asking the question: What has Kean done for the club. Forget all of the money Venky's has been able to pocket from the sale of players and the subsequent bargain deals Kean has put on the pitch, The money we would be getting from being in the Prem has to be more, right?
Spot on buddy, until kean has been sacked and a real manager is put in place im afraid we are going to have to keep taking the pain killers for awhile longer,unless madam venky and co get a real grip on reality about british football.Keep your chin up fella keans cards are marked now.

If this 16 points target from 7 games is to believed, that means that if we lose on Wednesday then draw on Saturday, Kean would not be able to reach that target.We would need 15 points from 4 games which i reckon even Kean would admit was impossible (although he said that about relegation).

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but he has only managed 3 back-to-back wins in his 1 and a half seasons in charge. We have never won 3 league games back-to-back with this useless muppet in charge, so if we were to lose or draw against Hull on Wednesday, he would need to win the remaining 5 games back-to-back!

With the "score 1 and defend deep for the rest of the game" being his only (flawed) tactic, we will lose more than we win or draw. Simple as that.

I'm worried that the Shebster will back-track on his promise of losing 3 consecutive games or that the bearded lady has already stepped in to stop him sacking kean at all. However,If he does have the power, it needs to be either the 3 consecutive games or the 16 point target from a possible 21 and to do it immediately. If we lose the next 2 games he should be sacked.

Lets be honest, after the 7 games, we are going to be closer to 6 points than 16 points.

Come on Shebby, if ever there was a no-brainer then it's to remove this imposter and lets all have a clean slate with an actual football manager in charge to get the best from the players and to recognise when things need changing during a game and to do something about it!

Lets get a few things straight, Kean says Ipswich a good side - well he would wouldn't he, we dropped points, with his useless tactics. If you think Shebby has the power to sack Kean, think again, This man , well just another PR stunt to try to get the fans back. Wake up Venkys before its too late, GET RID OF KEAN NOW, if you want any chance of Rovers returning to the Prem.

Keans been in over his head for over two years... out comes the droning repetitious claptrap yet again, and yet again he makes it sound like the fault of others ' we played too deep'. Sorry Fester, did the lads ignore you again, not follow your god-like game plan... oh no, I forgot, thats in your head as well. It won't be long before the Danny Murphy's and younger players Kazim-Richards etc realise what a fantasist kean is, and how quick he bundles blame on others... Good to see Stanley doing good this week ( the team, not the player!!)

ajpmacdonald says...

I fear Division 1 (or Division 3 as it used to be called) beckons. The manager offers no leadership, strategy, tactics, or recovery plan. What a contrast with Allardyce / Hughes / Souness who always knew where he was and where we were going. Kean has no managerial class whatever. It's all about his deep fear of being cut from the umbilical cord to 'Madam' - so a great
institution - one of the 12 'originals' is reduced to a farce about a distant Asian family and their minions. Well lovely boy you don't fool us. Without her you would not be in a job and I suspect you will struggle to find another. You are all an insult to all that is Blackburn Rovers.

Just watched it on tv, as well as an awful strip we had an awful game. What bit they showed showed us up as inept. No idea what his tactics were. Oh yes we had none! Two important players on yellow cards and he continued his siege mentality. No idea what he is doing. Then after match interview, excuses taken directly from the Kean book of excuses. Same old, same old.

As the season goes on, conman Kean will become more and more desperate with his "spot the brain cell" comment and tactics and the whole season will soon be killed off within the next six weeks
With this mixed team of old and desperate professionals there should be no expectations of grandeur this season from the fans....mid-table is the best we can hope for.
ONLY a change of team management & coaches and an induction of young quality players will save the season...yet it would have to happen in the next month.
Very sadly I cannot seeing the Venky,s moving conman Kean on and I very much doubt they have the ability to take the right action and have the knowledge of the game to make a wise choice of a replacement.
I feel Anderson/Kean are fully in control here and the circus act will continue to frustrate us through the season.
Really do hope I am wrong !

Don't think it's Lowes fault, being made to play there. A young player who showed great promise in midfield being played out of position, will be ruined before his career has started by this lot.
Still trying to do it on the cheap rather than buying an established full back.
By the way, we had a good one before they got rid of Emerton.

glad you had a good day out RR...I envy your trip...I always loved the opening day of the season - as usually everything is still possible for all clubs fans to hope for....FA Cup Winners, League Champions, League Cup Winners....until after a few games the reality sets in and you realize that only a few clubs out of the 92 are going to be involved in the final climax to those trophies and that your club is again not going to be one of those......only a few teams can celebrate at the end of the season. But a point away on the opening day is usually not a bad result for most teams no matter whom you are playing as we all start off even for the first match. Maybe our expectations are higher than then others when we are not happy with a point away? Guess it depends on how we fare against Hull in midweek. A win against the Tigers will make the point at Ipswich quite a decent one. A defeat doesn't even bear thinking about....hear that Keanio and heed the warning!

Hope your not pulling our legs as Rhodes would have won that game for us.We need to attack every team as we cannot play defensive football due to a lack of an organised defensive system.

The next manager should be between Curbishley and Glen Hoddle we dont want Migk McCarthy he is tactically clueless but is honest in his appraisal that his sides are crap..

I'd check their records of Championship Football on wiki pages before making that "informed" judgement

nothing has changed...! A weak performance..players out of position...unabe to hold the most slender led against a pretty mediocre team. The two main signings blamed for getting booked. If Ipswich are going to be a tough place to get three points then there will be a lot tougher places to come. Pressure on already for points next week.

Not pulling you leg bburnrover, looks solid but of course the proof is in the eating. We've been here before of course, but its no secret the lengths they've gone to, to sign him and he was given permission to talk to Rovers yesterday as I said, so we just have to wait to hear it announced.

When will you deluded cave dwellers just accept that the only time you'll see Rhodes at Dumpwood is when he's firing in a 30 yarder into the top corner to complete his hatrick in April When you play Huddersfield.

Why would he possibly come to a club that is a laughing stock and run like a circus. It won't be just for the money, the Huddersfield chairman is worth somewhere in the region of 500 million so I'm pretty sure he will dish out a few more quid in wages to keep him happy. Huddersfield are a forward thinking family orientated club who have big ambition and momentum. Rovers are still sinking in hatred and uncertainty. Would you want to leave Huddersfield and come to Blackburn if you were him?

Joking and banter aside, does it really sound likely? Such a high profile move when Rovers are in such turmoil at the moment. Kean is such a despised manager with his managerial ability more than under the microscope, the owners showing nothing but contempt for your supporters who are staying away in
their masses, is this really where such a talented young footballer would go and expect to develop into a better player?

Maybe 3-4 years ago Rovers would have been a great move for him but right now at this present time you have to agree that it would do more harm than good for his career.

Well I enjoyed a great game! 3-3 Ramsbottom Utd v Cammel Laird. Until Kean goes this is where I'm watching football. It's honest and worthwhile, and I advise others too give non-league a go.

You need to do more in the Championship than pick up an odd point away from home - ask your friend Shebby - is that a clock I hear ticking - it should be
Hate to say this! But in my opinion Dunny is well past his best. He came on & struggled to cover ground.He looked very laboured. As for Morten Gamst, he looked like he didn't much want to play in the game & didn't seem to put much effort in to me! He didn't look comfortable when he ended up on the right side of midfield after the substitutions were made!

I have to agree with you Bob, but it seems he might be pushing for a move. Money talks and his head has been turned.

I said it yesterday, his only motivation will be money and an easy stepping stone to get himself noticed by the Big boys should Rovers get promoted.

Won't worry Rovers too much of course, if anyone wants him should that happen, the contractual payout would be huge, but you simply can't understate what a difference even coming here for a season or two will make to the outcome and Kean at least seems to be aware of it.

I don't support any 'scoundrels' - I support my club Blackburn Rovers. I supported them for over 50 years and I will proudly support them for another few decades yet.

Shame on you for not doing the same. And even greater shame on you for using the name of a Rovers legend to post your vile insinuations about anything to do with the club (good or bad). Opinions are fine, discussion is fine but your insults on here to many decent Rovers fans are just infantile and meaningless. You wouldn't know decency even if it jumped up and bit you in the a*se.

Like I said earlier, the Rhodes deal is like Krusty and the Canyanero episode of the Simpsons.. They keep throwing more money at him, of course he'll come.

These wages are premiership wages, with many clubs - especially the ones that went up last season not even getting close to paying these kind of numbers.

Opinions are fine, discussion is fine but your insults on here to many decent Rovers fans are just infantile and meaningless. You wouldn't know decency even if it jumped up and bit you in the a*se.
Hi Frenchie, I'm pretty much convinced now that this Clayton character is either a dingle or a Hendry persecutor. Seeing how many fans he can drum up with his witch hunt. Maybe he's one of the pensioners. How would he know Hendry and Kean were in a bar in Lytham. unless he was there stalking him.
THE STALKER

Not pulling you leg bburnrover, looks solid but of course the proof is in the eating. We've been here before of course, but its no secret the lengths they've gone to, to sign him and he was given permission to talk to Rovers yesterday as I said, so we just have to wait to hear it announced. .
You said he was defo signing. You said you CAN confirm it. Now you're backtracking. Let's be honest here, you're a bit of an attention-seeking fantasist who knows nothing. The latest word is Fulham have bid £7m.

Fantasist. Both would be excellent signings but you haven't got a clue whether they'll sign or not. Stop reading the tabloids!

Kean. "Our fans travelled in numbers and saw a spirited, organised and athletic performance" organised? spirited? athletic? That's right, follow my instructions,if it doesn't go as planned,everybody back. Ask ref to make the game only 80 minutes as we cant last 90 mins. Genius. the sum total of his football tactics.

It is more than possible he knows the landlord. How you can defend Hendry for basically stealing an elderly couple's life savings says more about your character(s).

Funny how Kean states his players were too deep, he has been out of his depth ever since he was given a job as a football manager.

It's ironic that he admits his players were too deep. You'd think one would play those tactics if they were loaded with defenders. He didn't buy a single one. He's a f%*ktard. I said it.

As it stands this what anyone knows for sure:

- 6.5m bid from Rovers with additional promotion clauses bid.

- Jordan Rhodes allowed to speak to Rovers.

- Rovers believe they have got him.

I was told yesterday evening that he WOULD be signing Monday. That was from two different sources. So my confidence is high. If it doesn't happen today, it's happening this weekend unless HT pull a fast one, no-one else is in the bidding race and he WANTS to come to Rovers.

Happy?

Ipswich finished 15th last season.... so either they've improved greatly or we've started well below the mark required for promotion!

Disgraceful journalism. Express your disapproval!

Curbishley - out of management for 4 years,
Hoddle - Born again lunatic, or
Mick McCarthy - 3 times finished in play-off places, plus 2 promotions, plus one-time Championship manager of the year, manager of international side and streets ahead of the current deadweight.

McEachran has signed for 'BORO. Need to trade in that crystal ball BB. This really does cast doubt on your claims about Rhodes. Especially in light that you claimed it would be yesterday!
