Rovers sign Stewart on loan
5:21pm Friday 1st March 2013 in Sport
BLACKBURN Rovers have signed Hull City winger Cameron Stewart on loan until the end of the season.
The 21-year-old has had limited opportunities at Hull this season and spent time on loan at Rovers' East Lancashire rivals Burnley earlier this season.
Stewart is expected to go straight into Rovers' squad for tomorrow's visit of Peterborough.
Rovers are also in talks with Wigan midfielder Dave Jones as they look to complete a loan deal for him before tomorrow's clash.

I really cannot see the logic in yet another winger when our massive problem is in the centre of midfield. Against the might of Hull and Leicester we saw clearly that Lowe and Murphy are not up to the task and unless we do something on this bit of the park best we can hope for is to whimper over the 50 point safety line. Nunes can produce outstanding final balls yet he doesn't even get a sniff of a start. Gomes showed earlier in the season that he can score for fun at this level yet is behind a seriously out of form DJ Campbell. Good luck to the new lad and don't judge him until he has had a chance to prove himself but wingers we have in abundance, what did MA say about us having a team of no 10's? Now we are overun by no 7's and 11's.

The last team to go up convincingly from the Championships was Newcastle
They got promoted with a strong spine to their side and two midfield players who could boss the game, were hard in the tackle, could get box to box and importantly SCORE GOALS regardless as to whether you liked him or not Joey Barton and Kevin Nolan did the business - Not difficult with a goalscorer in Andy Carrol.
We have a relatively good spine to the side apart from the obvious two missing links - and you look to sign the two you have.
Is it not obvious even to the most inexperienced manager what it is in fact we require?
I despair.

Appleton needs to be working with the players that he has got. I'd rather Josh Morris play than someone on loan. We already have too many loan players. Oh to have the quality of Rochina, Rosado, Formica, and Vukcevic, rather than these below average loan signings. We have sent better players out on loan, than we have loaned in! That is the ridiculous state of the club at the moment.
Where is the planning for next season? Quick fixes and defensive, scrape a 1-0 football. Play OUR players, not loan players, and build for next season.

I think most Rovers fans can see that we have more than enough potential goal scorers...the problem is getting balls across for them to score the goals from....so bringing in a winger like Stewart is exactly what we need. Whether he is the right one to bring in is the question and only time will tell.
The midfielder Jones from Wigan has plenty of decent football experience and was rated highly when he came through as a young lad at United. He did really well at Wolves before he moved to Wigan and it will make a nice change to sign a midfielder who does not have a bad injury record.

Everyone can see we are struggling to sign players at the moment, but on a plus side we're not trying to lure has-beens with fat wedge contracts anymore.

if anyone out on this planet ever thinks MA is a manager of any repute...!
he is not experienced
he has no prior skills, qualities that will cut him in management.
However, MA is experienced at one thing, and thats the reason hes here.
He is just about able to beg for trashy players who are unwanted at their clubs
And thats what players BRFC can just about pull....!!!!
But at the end of the day he MA is the current manager
and he has a job on his hands
Yes its difficult as its clear not many teams prepared to let good players out on loan......
hence hes left to bring in below average 2nd rate team players
Play offs is going to be extremely difficult
Best will play very little all season if at all as its likely his injury will prevent him.
This new player ex burnley
no chance of geting a game at ewood

Kean
no I do not think that we are not in the last chance saloon and we ain't playing dice.
We are very much still a championship club which is looking to finish as high up the table as possible despite the first half of the season handicap.
We lost the best chance to reach the play-offs before the season started when Kean was still in charge as a manager. And then again during the bad albeit quite unlucky run we had under Berg.
Appleton is simply picking-up the pieces and doing a salvage job right now IMO. He is getting the club in a better and more fit state to make a serious challenge to get out of this league next season.
3-0 tomorrow will make the struggle easier....
bon nuit!

Think how they must feel being loaned out to different clubs they dont get any stabiity and if they are happy here who knows they may want to stay and help us get promotion.

It strikes me that a few people on here have now realized that Steve Kean was perhaps not the worst manager we have ever had. In fact, it now seems that he was not even the worst one we have had this season.

It seemed we were so desperate to go up this season that we forgot to build a team - we have patched it up, to the extreme, and left ourselves with a load of loan players.
I'm just grateful none of my money is being wasted down at Ewood Park.

My bet is that neither Venkys nor Apple will be here next season. Apple is Venkys' man, after Apple has sold off the useful players and tidied up for Venkys, they'll up stumps. I guarentee Apple's contract has a winding up clause in it and probably a bonus for money banked in India. If he hasn't he's a naive mug.
My abiding hope is that we're still in the Championship at the end of this season, then a proper rebuilding can begin - minus Apple, Venkys, Murphy, Agnew.
Apple is Kean Mark II.

They'll probably sell Rhodes, Robbo and Givet, bank the next parachute payment and hopefully bu***r off.

30 years support, Bobby Saxton, Bill Fox era, 7-900k gates, throwing money into buckets to repair the riverside, following the team around the country and abroad, spending £££ doing so.
Having taken to social media and message boards a couple of years ago because i was concerned, its finally dawned on me, i cant stand the Venkys and hate them with a passion, they are destroying not only the club but also the community..... i must be a dingle!!!

I know it's his 1st game, but he looks like a panic loan by Appleton. We have finally blown any lingering hopes of scraping into the play offs.
I didn't want Appleton nor did I think he was upto the job, and it hurts me to say I looks like I've been proved right. I so hoped I was going to proved wrong. And yes I'm on the game today, but won't be renewing my season ticket for next season on showings like this.
And to top it all off, it's looking like the dingles will jump above us? Can things get any worse?

Cameron Stewart subbed at half time, against the worst team in the division. He looked like amd played like, a rabbit caught in the headlights and was lucky to have lasted 45 minutes.
