FULL TIME: Blackburn Rovers 2 AEK Athens 1
2:54pm Sunday 29th July 2012 in Blackburn Rovers & Premier League Table & Results
By Andy Cryer, Blackburn Rovers reporter
LEON Best was stretchered off for Blackburn Rovers in this afternoon's pre-season friendly as they beat AEK Athens 2-1 at Fleetwood.
Rovers' £3million summer signing went down holding his knee on 40 minutes and, after a five minute delay, was carried off the field.
He will undergo scans tomorrow as Rovers hope their £3million summer signing is not facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines. The early signs are understood to be promising.
Rovers led 2-0 at the break from a Nuno Gomes header and a brilliant Best curling strike with little happening after the break as Athens got back in the game.
Rovers struck the first blow on just six minutes as Nunes Gomes rose well at the far post to head home Marcus Olsson's left wing cross.
Leon Best had a goal ruled out for offside minutes later, after Gael Givet had headed against the bar, with Rovers dominating a tired looking Athens side.
The lead was doubled just before the half hour mark through a brilliant strike from Best. The striker latched on to a raking through ball from Murphy, to cut inside and bend a shot into the corner.
The positivity from the first half drained out of hosts on 40 minutes though as Leon Best was stretchered off with a serious looking knee injury.
A much-changed Rovers struggled to get going after the break and AEK Athens pulled a goal back through Nikolaos Kourelas, who got in behind Adam Henley, with 13 minutes remaining.
ROVERS: Paul Robinson (Jake Kean 46), Bradley Orr (Edinho 74), Josh Morris, Grant Hanley, Gael Givet (Scott Dann 46), Bruno Ribeiro, Danny Murphy (Jason Lowe 46), Paulo Jorge, Marcus Olsson (Fabio Nunes 74), Leon Best (Mauro Formica 40), Nuno Gomes (David Dunn 46) SUBS: David Goodwillie, Radosav Petrovic, Adam Henley, Ruben Rochina, Jason Lowe,

If we start the season with a similar team that went out today, it actually looks reasonably strong. Again, leaving Kean with no excuses if we are near the bottom after 5 or 6 games.
Seems as if Nuno Gomes has settled in well and might bring a bit of class to our attack. Ribeiro might actually play a few games this season too. Murphy will control the pace and ask for the ball off the defence, something which was missing last season.
To ape Kean, I'm seeing positives.

Kean Out when we win,
Until the evil one is gone,

The club are clearly spooked that so many fans have stayed strong and not changed their minds as the season and the 20th deadline approaches. Txt's, emails etc are becoming daily now - a sure sign thousands are staying away and will not be pacified by any more meetings and promises but only the action to remove Kean. Then bridges could be built by Shabby between the fans and owners again. Its a pity Agnew has not advised him of this rather then thinking a PR blitz on fans will work - that is just insulting the fans.

Kean Out!

If he's badly injured then thats going to be a really serious problem for us (Mrs D is going to have to spend a chunk of that money she's kept from player sales over the last 12 months).
Second half we seemed to play a strange 4-6-0 formation and encouraged a really abject AEK side back into the game (they looked like a team that had a good "bonding session" last night in downtown Blackpool followed by a fish supper each on the way home).
I think the new players all look okay but the squad is very very thin overall - theres alot of dross left over from last year I don't think most of the youngsters are ready for serious first team action yet.
Murphy is obviously a class act but with Dunn, Petrovic and the young "Portugese Gattuso" (looks a good prospect) - They can all play abit but theres no natural athlete in that 4 and no-one who's going to run from midfield, beyond the strikers.
Even in a lower division, Nzonzi is going to be very difficult for us to replace.

Why are Keans purchases from 12 months ago all on the bench - is it chance or maybe he now realises he bought badly
Crowd 994 - thats good wonder how many were Rovers fans ? You will know if Rovers have been successful in selling tickets on two counts
1. They will announce how many
2. If the deal is extended yet again the answer is obvious
When will the People at Ewood realise the genuine fans have been hurt by the way they have treated and it will take more than a smile and some PR to bring them back on board- Venkys go and take the entourage with you then people may forgive

That said, with fixtures against Fleetwood, Accrington, Rochdale, AEK, Go Ahead Eagles, NEC and Cork City, you couldn't be blamed for thinking that these teams were hand-picked by Kean who'd arrogantly assume that Rovers would thump them and the owners would think he's still a brilliant manager.
Of course, I'm sure that wasn't really the case...

After last week's results a win was a must for the sake of players' morale, even if it was against an AEK side that only had three first team players feature at some point during the match. They played a lot of their Reserves and Academy players, with a 16 year old, Fountas, coming on at half-time, so probably not the toughest opposition we'll face in pre-season.
That said, with fixtures against Fleetwood, Accrington, Rochdale, AEK, Go Ahead Eagles, NEC and Cork City, you couldn't be blamed for thinking that these teams were hand-picked by Kean who'd arrogantly assume that Rovers would thump them and the owners would think he's still a brilliant manager.
Of course, I'm sure that wasn't really the case...

Nobody wants these owners or manager but the players on the pitch need more support than ever.
Real fans are taking it on the chin, gritting their teeth and getting down to Ewood in the knowledge that it is going to be tough but when the going gets tough etc......
There will be a better attitude 'on the terraces' with the faint-hearts out shopping instead of watchig the match.

If he's badly injured then thats going to be a really serious problem for us (Mrs D is going to have to spend a chunk of that money she's kept from player sales over the last 12 months).
Second half we seemed to play a strange 4-6-0 formation and encouraged a really abject AEK side back into the game (they looked like a team that had a good "bonding session" last night in downtown Blackpool followed by a fish supper each on the way home).
I think the new players all look okay but the squad is very very thin overall - theres alot of dross left over from last year I don't think most of the youngsters are ready for serious first team action yet.
Murphy is obviously a class act but with Dunn, Petrovic and the young "Portugese Gattuso" (looks a good prospect) - They can all play abit but theres no natural athlete in that 4 and no-one who's going to run from midfield, beyond the strikers.
Even in a lower division, Nzonzi is going to be very difficult for us to replace.
