King Billy is back!

But I've just checked and we've never kept a clean sheet and have only won once at Blackpool in our history!

Does anyone else thing we can do it today? I reckon 2 nil Rovers - Brownie and Billy!

Billy's coming home, he's coming home, he's coming home, he's coming

Well, did our new dawn start last week? Will the Billy factor inspire us to even greater things?

Today will be a test. Never great conditions at Blackpool so I expect more muck and guts required today rather than the slick passing game we enjoy.

Difficult to judge what frame of mind the Blackpool players will be in, so perhaps important that we get on top early and play on their anxiety.

I'm going for a 2-1 Rovers will Blackpool coming back and throwing everything at us in the last 10 mins.

With Blackpool in diabolical form, and our away record being so dismal, I feel that the first goal will decide who wins this one.
I'm confident that we will come away with the points today though. The signings Dickov has made, and our injured players coming back has given us a new lease of life, with morale at the club high again.

I'm going for a comfortable 2-0 over a depleted tangerine squad. If Ince plays I can imagine him being a sulking miserable so and so - he is going to be weary of Hubby who gave him a clatter back at the keepmoat.

If we're ever gonna get a result there it's surely today, 1-2 Rovers !

See, you look at that team and you think "upper mid-table"

i_ateallthepies · « **Reply #11 on** January 25, 2014, 02:41:00 pm by i_ateallthepies »

I'll take a clean sheet as top priority and then, please god a goal from Billy, or anybody, even an own goal but let's have those three points.

Agree with that. If we can't get out of the shite with those players...

True

But also add in their ex managers son a bit on a limb....
And of course Wellens at his old club.

Not a great start Khumalo on a tightrope for 85 minutes

Come on Rovers get your foot on the ball. All sounds a bit frantic.

blackpool starting better with the sounds of it

Bristol Red Rover · « **Reply #20 on** January 25, 2014, 03:22:34 pm by Bristol Red Rover »

They are mullering us! Could be a case of being mega gee'd up with the manager change and that they'll run out of steam at some point.

foxbat · « **Reply #21 on** January 25, 2014, 03:23:30 pm by foxbat »

'New' Manager syndrome having the better of it so far.
weather the storm , maybe until second half, and the Billy
hit them on the break

Forester was a live wire last week and linked up play very well and I think he'll be missed. Sounds like we haven't got going at all yet. Let's hope Blackpool run out of steam and we can get a grip on the game.

MiKA · « **Reply #23 on** January 25, 2014, 03:25:03 pm by MiKA »

We've certainly got to ride this storm, why did they have to sack their manager

ScillyRover · « **Reply #24 on** January 25, 2014, 03:28:24 pm by ScillyRover »

A goal against the run of play coming up

i_ateallthepies · « **Reply #25 on** January 25, 2014, 03:29:24 pm by i_ateallthepies »

Getting nothing from this ref.

DonnyBazR0ver · « **Reply #26 on** January 25, 2014, 03:29:46 pm by DonnyBazR0ver »

Forgot about Perkins joining them from Barnsley. Good player.

Bristol Red Rover · « **Reply #27 on** January 25, 2014, 03:40:03 pm by Bristol Red Rover »

Fingers crossed we don't concede in the last mins of this half. Yep, nervous

dknward2 · « **Reply #28 on** January 25, 2014, 03:41:26 pm by dknward2 »

lets just see it out get in at half time then hopefully turn it around in second half

MiKA · « **Reply #29 on** January 25, 2014, 03:42:45 pm by MiKA »

Come on half time
