Great preview Abbey

 

[ABBEY]

thanks

 

[Barmitzvah Boy]

Oldham have sold 1,500 to date and are hoping to have up to 2,500 attending.

Looks like some of their hoolies may be travelling. I will observe whilst sampling fine wines.

They have not won away for 5 months so expect a Rovers defeat

Great review Abbey

'Preview' isn't it BB?

Yes Gordon. My apologies.

 

[ABBEY]

Wonder if mulgrew and lennihan will be fit ?

 

[Wilpshire Blue]

Mulgrew has a good chance apparently

"Tony Mowbray believes any team will struggle to cope with Rovers - but only if his team apply themselves in the right way."

From my observations all we need to do is to deliver the ball into the mixer QUICKER! Too slow a build up and too many passes outside the penalty area and in front of the opposing defenders simply allows the defenders to outnumber and close out Graham and Dack. We have to learn to speed up play and 'turn' the opposing defenders, get them facing their own goals and those two will find all the time and space that they need.

I am glad TM has made those comments and I agree with your observations Gordon - I just hope it happens and we see actions not just words. This must start tomorrow with a convincing victory against Oldham.

There is one other caveat. Tony must pick the best team and attack the opposition from the start and let them worry about how to stop us.

Exactly Alan. A bit like Fleetwood away in the 1st half - unfortunalty we did not make the best of our domination and the 2nd half, bar Smallwood’s goal, was poor.

The attitude needs to be who the fuck are Oldham, we're Blackburn Rovers now let's tear them a new one from the off and don't stop for 90 minutes!

 

[khmerblue]

This was a game I thought we would slip up in,but after last week's defeat it is important we win,and win well,3-1 rovers with Mulgrew,2-2 minus him.

 

[ABBEY]

Any chance of a postponement? It's hammering it down...if the river rises again

Seems to me that might have been the attitude back in October DR!

The correct attitude needs to be 'this lot beat us quite easily a few months back. We underestimated them them but today we need to respect them , we need the right attitude from the start and we need revenge!'
