Rovers away at West Brom tomorrow gives our lads the opportunity to storm back up the table into the playoff places. After a convincing draw against Watford on Saturday I am predicting that Rovers will put in an A1 performance and pummel the Baggies into submission*.
The big positives coming out of the Watford game were the performances of Carter, Pears, Dack and Dolan. Indeed I think Kaminsky would struggle to displace Pears given the Ansleys recent form; I was so impressed with the lad on Saturday that I am going to ASDA to buy one of his spicy sauce mixes. It was also a pleasure to see Callum Brittain return and put in a decent 10 minutes towards the end of the of the game; he will no doubt feature tomorrow evening.
What do we do with BBD I hear you ask? Personally he seems disinterested to me and as such he should be dropped to the bench and brought on as an impact player. I have seen Harry Leonard play many times and he should have a look in. I have also watched Jack Vale over the years and really rate the lad as a penalty area finisher, he does however need the ball and we now have the answer in our new Greek star Sorba ‘The Mad Moussaka’ Thomas. BBD certainly has had his head turned and he seems more concerned in staying injury free and turning up to Waterstones for book signings of his first fiction story ‘From Shit to Stardom and Back to Shit Again’.

But why are West Brom called ‘The Baggies’? I undertook extensive research at Longridge Library and they confirm that it is to do with the local diet and the number of vastly overweight men and women in the area; the rolls of fat over their midriffs refer to The Baggies.

I of course always thought the original baggies derieved from Lancashire fashion in the 1970’s. Whilst the rest of the country were discovering loons (a style of trouser to you youngsters) we were wearing parallel keks that got wider and wider and wider. There were worn with a FairIsle shortsleeved jumper, a Ben Sherman check shirt and a Crombie jacket complete with a Lancashire Red Rose and a tie pin. All of this building upon the fashion from Northern Soul nights.

In turn the Northern style (yes we led the country) morphed into the casual style and the ‘Casuals’ football fans. The only place that did not follow was the town of Burnley who were left, and still are, in a time warp.

I still have to decide whether to take the relatively short trip to The Hawthornes. The last time I went we were being badly outplayed and I left on 80 minutes to relieve myself of the misery. Sadly I could not remember where I left my car and finally found it one hour after the game finished. What a pillock!!!
As for the game I reckon on a 2-1 win to Rovers and mini revival to our season.
