FULL TIME: Wolves 1 Blackburn Rovers 1
10:02pm Friday 11th January 2013 in Sport
ROGER Johnson’s leveller saw Wolves hit back to hold Blackburn Rovers to a draw in Gary Bowyer’s final game in caretaker charge.
Jordan Rhodes’ 26th-minute penalty put Rovers into the lead but Johnson ghosted in unmarked to head an equaliser with 16 minutes left.
Rhodes struck his 14th goal for Rovers in the 26th minute after Ruben Rochina had been tripped by Bakary Sako.
The Rovers striker had earlier been unable to steer an effort on target after racing clear, but Jake Kean had to save well at the other end to deny Kevin Foley.
Rochina had a shot saved early in the second half as he attempted to make it 2-0 but Johnson headed in a cross from Jamie O’Hara to equalise.
The match was Bowyer's last as caretaker boss, with Michael Appleton confirmed as Rovers' new manager two hours before the game.
Bowyer had won his previous three games in temporary charge.
Rovers: Jake Kean, Todd Kane, Scott Dann, Grant Hanley (Gael Givet 81), Martin Olsson, Colin Kazim-Richards, Jason Lowe, Danny Murphy, Simon Vukcevic (Morten Gamst Pedersen 56), Ruben Rochina (Josh Morris 80), Jordan Rhodes. Subs not used: Seb Usai, Diogo Rosado, David Goodwillie, Nuno Gomes.

A point away at a team out to impress their new gaffer is a decent point.
I said earlier, we got carried away beating Barnsley, Bristol City and lack **** McLeish Forest.
The results and performances in those games was down to the opposition as well as I fortunate goals to give us leads in those games.
We have taken small steps forward and slightly stopped the rot but have a marathon to go and can only progress together as a team and its supporters.

Rochina, again, showed glimpses of what he could do as a type of trequartista in a stable team.
Thanks for restoring some faith in our players, Gary Bowyer.

Murphy's interview made interesting viewing. He seemed to me pretty unipressed to say the least that Bowyer has not been left to carry on. I only hope that he and the rest of the players who the LT say are unhappy are able to be professional enough to put aside these feelings and do a job for Appleton. I think his first job is to get the dressing room on his side.

I hope the players haven't spat their dummies out after MA's apppointment was announced - certainly Murphy was bad today and his thoughts on the new manager were pretty clear.

The only plus points were Kane, Kean, and Rhodes managing to score. *

I think we did well to get a point tonight. We created very few chances and, on watching it back when I got home, we were fortunate to get the penalty. Rhodes took it excellently although I did wonder at the time why Murphy didn't take it. Kean had a good game, Kane looked a bit shaky at times but Kazim-Richards was awful for a change. How he managed to stay in the pitch for 95 minutes is anybody's guess. Still, it's a good point against a Wolves side who looked like they were giving their all for Saunders. Well done Gary and Terry, the 100% record may have eluded you but you were still undefeated.

Plus points Rochina showed class again. Murphy linked things up well with some neat short passing. KR put himself about like a bull and unsettled the crowd and their defenders. Jake Kean looked confident and capable in goal. Scott did well apart from the goal. And no disrespect to Adam Henley but the biggest plus point on the night for me was that we had a proper threat down the right-hand side. The new lad Kane looked good and worked well too with Vukevic and caused Wolves quite a few problems.
Well done Team GB! That was a nice and very important unbeaten run that our new manager can take further over the next few weeks when some winnable games are lined-up.

Total respect for Team GB, but if we are honest they have had a lot of good fortune with opening goals ! Lets call the penalty 'a bit iffy', but it totally changed the flow of the game as both teams seemed in shock until half time.
Still, onwards and upwards, I will be 100% behind the new manager, yet again.

You can't help being under forty (which I am not, by the way) and if all you've seen is a well run club playing mostly in the top flight, the current situation is all the more difficult to believe or understand.
People mock Venkys? They made a lot of promises when they offered to but the club and it may have seemed a good idea at the time. Nobody could not predict they would renege on every one of them. They may well own a successful poultry business but Venkys have acted like the total football novices they are; they have made themselves look like idiots, embarrassing everyone who supports Rovers in the process.
Poking fun at them is the very least they deserve.

no jack walker glory hunter for me. first season ticket bought for my birthday in 1972/73 season.....watched rovers all over the place including stuff like craven cottage with a crowd of less than 2,500, stafford rangers, welling utd etc, etc.....so your classification of plastic fans is hugely inappropriate.
anyhow if a kid was, say 7 in 1991/92 season.....they will be approaching 28 now and a fully fledged adult whose opinion is as entirely valid as yours; so in your childish manner - stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
my wore moment as a rovers fan - kevin stonehouse's winner vs bristol rovers at eastville proving worthwhile, travelling back on my own to sheffield on train and getting battered by derby fans (travelling back from cardiff) and arriving at sheffield station to be greeted by three swansea fans that i knew from college giving me grief for what remained of the night.
virtually all of us on here have earned our stripes and don't start giving others "i'm a bigger fan than you". its not big and its not clever and the only person who looks bitter is you.
i assume if you have any young relatives who are under 30 and are rovers supporters - you are much happier that they support rovers than either scumchester or grannystabbers or bin-dippers.
rovers is a love affair - many ups and many downs, but that love is not unequivocal and if your partner keeps smacking you in the face, playing away (metaphorically, not literally) and basically takes you for granted - there is only so much that some can take before you tell them to do one. i admire your resolve to keep going back and can only recommend the charities that look after battered wives.

78/79 - final 6th form year (darwen) rovers got relegated - jim iley fired highlight of season duncan mckenzie goal vs weztam first game of season
79/80 - first year uni (hillsborough) - howard kendall - highlight of season 3-0 at hillsborough and walking to game from my new house and then later 1-0 at mansfield (garner) on a steaming hot day and kendall doing half time team talk on pitch with team eating their oranges, chesterfield (a) 14k and the reverse game at ewood sheff w when i went on a minibus of wednesday fans from the pub where i worked - we got beat but one of best atmospheres ever.
80/81 - the aforementioned season (chorlton and norfolk park sheffield) lowlight of season - bristol rovers.

Well done to bowyer he could not have done anymore,but the game last night proved that the players are simply not g ood enough,jason lowe as once again showed that he is not a midfield player he looks tottally lost and contributed nothing to the game,the whole of the midfields passing was atrocious ,i hope mr appleton makes it a priority to sign a ball winning midfielder and a centre half who can head a ball,without the proper service rhodes will dissappear from games as he did last night

I am sorry I missed your scrawling overnight. My response to you is that far from "the end is nigh"' the end has long since happened at Ewood Park. All we are witnessing now is the rotting of the deceased corpse. When we are seeing episodes like the Judan Ali business on a weekly basis that much is pretty obvious. I don't you would disagree with that. If you only had eyes to see.
My advice to you, should you be seeking it, is to save your entrance money on Saturday afternoons and either put it in the bank or give it to charity.

Why should I give him a chance? Give me a good reason. It is a miserable appointment and one that none of the fans want. Granted that is not Appleton's fault. The problem lies with the Venkys and the truth is that while the Venkys are there Rovers are a lost cause. Utterly lost. To those who argue that non one else was interested in buying the club I would respond strongly that no one was the better option.
Let us see what follows.

if my memory lets me down i am know i am right about the half time. my regret that season was i couldn't go to bury as i had an exam that day and the next. waste of time anyhow as my brother who lived in leeds (and could pick up radio blackburn ) played me the whole match commentary down the phone so i didnt do any swotting anyhow.
