Title: Blackburn to win the league.....
Post by: KiwiRover on August 12, 2017, 06:00:28 pm
..... Well that's a hundred quid I'll never see.
They looked like amateurs tonight!
Every mistake punished. Seriously, who is their keeper again?

Ex premier league champions 1, Donny unfashionables 3.

Outstanding performance.

RTID!

The teams that come down can't assume their 'class' will see them through. They're going to have to roll their sleeves up otherwise they'll find themselves where we were.

Momentum works both ways. Thankfully, our mini collapse at the end of last season, hasn't stopped us from showing we're going in the right direction!

It's early doors and I would'nt right Blackburn off just yet,Though It was a poor performance by them,and that makes it all the more an interesting season to look forward to.

We listened to an interview of Tony Mowbray on a Manc station on the way back home and he never gave the Rovers (Donny) any credit on the way that we played, he admitted that we cashed in on their mistakes, he didn't admit that we outplayed a poor side and blamed the fact that they had a decent pre season build up but only against league 2 teams.

Because he's only 2 league games in and knows he's under pressure already and their fans want him out.

Well here's my verdict from watching the game at the poolside in Mallorca and having worked for 18 years in Blackburn.

We bossed that game and were good value for our win. 3-1 did not flatter us, we outplayed Blackburn throughout the 90 minutes.

They could almost be embarrassed at getting a goal back....in fact I think their fans were.

I am very positive about this season, even at such an early stage. The players looked very confident in possession today and that is a good sign.

They weren't a poor side, they made two horrible errors though. They will come good.

Went to the game today and imo they controlled the first 20 minutes with some neat passing without ever threatening. Once we got a foot hold in the game then we started to boss it. Second half they were poor but that's because we dominated. All round a fantastic result against a side that will be there or there abouts come end of season

Always the old thing 'we were poor today' or more likely we made them look poor forcing them into mistakes and using it to our advantage

Still don't think they'll be far away at the end of the season

If they think this league is a stroll for them, they might well end up being well off the pace

I'm not convinced that any team managed by Tony Mowbray will ever be capable of running away with anything.
