If Appleton can address that properly we can topple Millwall with ease. We were poor today and still looked in with a chance of nicking it. Perhaps bringing Best back a touch into a 4-4-1-1, or maybe a 4-5-1, sitting behind Rhodes to give a helping hand in midfield. The 4-4-2 didn't work at all. They were outplaying us in midfield, that needs to be sorted.

India is the second fastest growing economy in the world and set to become economic superpower by 2025 .
If Rovers make it to Wembley final many thousands of Asians living in Blackburn will go and support ROVERS.Remember Bradford Asians thousand of Asians went to Wembley in the Capital cup final to support Bradford.
Indian press and Tvs are always showing football from UK and much attention is given to BRFC and QPR FC because it is owned by Indian Billionaires.

lets talk about the football
especially BRFC...thanks
the reason in my opinion why we are so 's.....' in the championship is we don't have the midfield to cope with championship pressures.
Championship football is a different ball game and actually in my opinion prem. players don't necessarily make good championship players.
We need a complete midfield.
x 3 /4 players
The only way we can stand up and be counted in the championship is if we have the right physically strong players.
strong, physical, box to box ..etc..
but also we need hard as nails humans,
we need fighting dogs of war,
we need lion heart warriors,
we need the Battys,
we need snarling Sounesses
we need bad boys who will rip chunks out of opposition and shred them to bits.
we need the championship to be scared of BRFC because at the moment everyone knows how soft BRFC are especially in the midfield areas.
Very...very pooor
which impacts greatly on the poor defense giving them extra pressure making them look even worse
and the strikers who get few if any chances because of no link up play from midfield.

This must be the worst Rovers team I can remember in the last 30 years ( even old don mckays team were far better) a maximum of 4 players on yesterday's showing are remotely good enough the others should be shown the door....I can honestly say I've not seen a worse team in the championship...I'm really worried that the 6 pts gap from safety won't be enough....this team doesn't look capable of winning games....more worrying this is the best time for Burnley to be playing us.....if you're Appy with the diabolical team performances recently then more fool you;-)

The veteran midfielder quit Craven Cottage last summer to join Championship side but is in talks to cancel the deal now
Fulham are ready to make a surprise move to bring Danny Murphy back to the club – and give him a job behind the scenes.
Veteran midfielder Murphy quit Craven Cottage at the end of last season to join Blackburn on a lucrative contract, but now he could head back to his 'home'.
Murphy is in talks to cancel his deal at Blackburn after being stripped of the captaincy and left out of the first-team training group ahead of an early exit.
And Fulham have lined up a post for him, with some coaching duties and promotional work for the London club - who have been trying to tempt him back recently.
Murphy, who has been taking his coaching badges, has just moved into a new house in the capital and would prefer to return after an unhappy spell in Lancashire.
TAXI FOR MURPHY, NOW BEFORE HE CHANGES HIS MIND

Our biggest chance was yesterday, but if the fans turn up and get behind the team, then we can win the replay. That would raise spirits and put us all in the right frame of mind for Sunday. Weds is a pivotal point , go out the cup and we could loose our 34 year record against that lot & end up in a relegation battle or win it, beat that shower of 5hit, have a wembley semi to look forward to & finish the season on a high. Any dream of playoffs went weeks ago but we can play for pride and finish as high as poss.
Forget about Wigan because we won't be beating Millwall, and based on this afternoon's non-performance in South Bermondsey we won't be beating Burnley either! Get real, open your eyes to reality.
Shows what just over 2 years of bad ownership has caused though. We're worried about a replay v Millwall, a league game against dingles and a semi against Wigan. Jesus Christ , these would have been mouthwatering and all very winnable games before this bunch of clowns got involved.
But let's stay positive , Millwall and dingles 1st , then a day out and a bit of luck at wembley and you never know

Reality , I get enough of that in real life,
Rovers are my escape mechanism, sad ? Maybe but I like to dream. I once had a dream that we won the Premiership after returning from the depths of Div 3...oh hang on, was that real?
Any way a plea for reality from you who pretends to be Rovers fan and lied about going to Millwall is a trifle ironic
