Yakubu is ‘bargain of season’ (From This Is Lancashire)

Enjoy the valuable win for gods sake!

It was an absolutely critical match for us to win if we are to stand any chance of staying-up. And we won it!

A lot of posters on here last week were saying how good QPR are now that Hughes is there and how now they spent money on decent players in January that they are guaranteed survival....well we beat the super R's and sent Hughes back down south with nothing.

We are not in the bottom group of teams fighting for survival for nothing, we are having a terrible season due to so many reasons all of which have been mentioned so many times before that I wont mention them here.

We are not a great team, we have a different defensive line-up every week and we are struggling for survival so to play well even in just one half of the game AND score three goals without reply is a pretty impressive display for any team in this position.

Yes QPR came out and played better the second half but isn't that what you would expect any team of Hughes to do? Did anyone expect us to score another three in the second half?

And yes QPR scored two goals (one very late on and too late to threaten the result) that took the edge off the scoreline a little, but we beat a fellow struggler and kept them deep in the relegation mix and gave ourselves another small lifeline towards the possibility of safety.

It was a crucial and oh so very important win and three points for us that will be so important to us by the end of the season.
Well done the lads! Allez les Bleus.

On Saturday I was more happy than anyone, even with the nervy finish. One of the (dis)advantages of comments being suspended over the weekend is that we can now look back in hindsight and be even more negative than usual!

The most positive thing to come out of the weekend is that despite having a good manager QPR still have some poor players. Dont worry we will survive when Kean gets his experienced defenders back Nelsen, Samba and Salgado wasn't it?

But yes Allez les Bleus, we can stay up! Believe!

Kean made us into a 9-man team with his substitutions. Can anyone explain the Henley substitution?

This substitution was simply to protect what rovers already had, a three goal lead. Kean has done this before and it bachfired more than once and nearly did this time, he dosn't seem to learn from his mistakes, he should have continued with an attacking line up in the second half, as they say the best form of defence is attack.

Unfortunately we are stuck with Kean who is the biggest liability and proved it again on Saturday with his inept sub choices which nearly cost us against a team that forgot to turn up first half and has not jelled yet. Yet they still had four times more shots and 60% possesion!
.
All Rovers fans buy a rabbits foot - perhaps it could offset the influence of Kean?

Keanocchio Out!

Thanks for the reply davemal, but whilst the idea is sound, Kean's choices weren't.

Henley contributed nothing - which I won't dis him for too much because he is a left-back with potential.

Henley was right in front of me and I squirmed every minute he and Modeste were on. Our football in the 2nd half was almost unwatchable.

I don't doubt that Kean is a numpty but to be fair to some of his signings, they aren't half as bad as people are making out.

Petrovic has begun to put in some good performances recently and Formica is starting to get his feet in the premier league.

Rochina has looked good when he's actually been allowed to play and Goodwillie has scored 4 in 8 starts (in all competitions).

There have been some awful signings as well such as Ribeiro, Anderson and Vukcevic and some others under par like Dann but his transfer record isn't terrible.

It's his inexplicable decision making at playing certain players over others, and subbing some of our best performers off that is truly shocking.

The few positive results we've managed this season really show our potential with the core set of players we have. It shows where we ought to be under the right management and investment.

As Andy Cryer has been saying on Twitter, the likes of Robinson, Samba, Olsson, N'Zonzi, Hoilett and Yak would all warrant a place in most of the teams around us. I'd probably add Peds and Givet (at CB) to that list too. Then there's the potential of Lowe and Hanley.

I think the best we can hope for next weekend is that other teams around us don't pick up points.

Yet more lies and deceit, which is undermining those fans who choose to protest by staying away.

Sorry Frenchie but for a long time now I've come to the conclusion that we have become Victor Meldrew FC. Our lot seem to like nohing more than to moan and slate our own club, no matter of the result. The only difference now between a win and a loss is we get more moaners posting after defeat than if we win. They like nothing more than slagging the club and seem to live for it. Such a shame that Venky's have brought us to this, thats why I stopped coming on for a while because they were driving me nuts with as much baroonary as Venky's and Kean put together.

Interesting. My first comment when I got home was that the crowd was incredibly small - lots of gaps. What if this info is correct?

Crowd given for Newcastle game was 20,817. Newcastle brought about 4,000 (I'd have guessed) against QPR's 1,500 (tops). There were far more gaps in the home section V QPR (in particular Blackburn End) than there were against Newcastle.

Not sure what the implications of overstating your crowd is legally. I know if you understate it, then you're probably robbing the taxman!

The comment made by Kean is fair I guess when he states that a striker is judged by his goals ratio and now rates Yak as £10 Million.

I would suggest that a manager is judged by his win ration, which makes Kean worth nothing but the sack!

I heard from a ticket office source if they did not count the ST's who did not actually turn up then the true gate was sub 16,000 or only approx 14,000 home fans as in recent home games. Thats 10,000 down on 2 years ago and any ST you chat too seems to say they are not renewing or considering it if Kean and / or Venkys are still here.
.
Certainly it did not look two thirds full based on the last 20 years experience!!
.
Just more lies?

I don't really see how Andrews showed any worth on the pitch, to be honest. I'm a little angry he went for nothing as he did show some worth in the Championship.

If his performances were up to scratch for Rovers, he wouldn't have got any stick from anyone in the first place.

Furthermore, his post-transfer comments were directed towards the club as a whole - how it's run and how they dealt with him personally, not the fans.

I don't understand the Nelson business though. He was important on and off the pitch.

It wasn't too long ago Kean said he needed Nelson back to partner Samba.

Just another example of puppeteering, tbh.

As I have said before, I was at Wigan away last season and when Andrews was announced as one of the subs he was roundly booed by many of our so called supporters. How he performed at all was a mystery. Pedersen and others have suffered the same fete. Our supporters baffle me sometimes. It shows when we get behind the team we can make a difference.

On Saturday we had only been singing, 'Feed the Yak' for a minute or so and he scored. Quality.

I don't agree with players being boo'd because I don't believe it helps, but it's a supporters right to show their dissatisfaction just as an audience will boo a poor theatre performance or comedian etc.

And again, if he had shown his worth of salt he would not be boo'd in the first place. As most players in most teams aren't.

Arshavin was boo'd last week. Villa also boo'd their players last week. Wolves fans have boo'd all season. Newcastle boo'd their losing season. Bolton are boo'd constantly. It's part of the game.

If you really think it affects a players performance then that player isn't strong enough to be a professional footballer in the first place.

What would the Romans think...

The few positive results we've managed this season really show our potential with the core set of players we have. It shows where we ought to be under the right management and investment.

As Andy Cryer has been saying on Twitter, the likes of Robinson, Samba, Olsson, N'Zonzi, Hoilett and Yak would all warrant a place in most of the teams around us. I'd probably add Peds and Givet (at CB) to that list too. Then there's the potential of Lowe and Hanley.

I think the best we can hope for next weekend is that other teams around us don't pick up points.

I would add Keith Andrews and Ryan Nelsen... Oh we forced them out.

Our own fans forced Andrews out,good move that lads.

I don't really see how Andrews showed any worth on the pitch, to be honest. I'm a little angry he went for nothing as he did show some worth in the Championship.

If his performances were up to scratch for Rovers, he wouldn't have got any stick from anyone in the first place.

Furthermore, his post-transfer comments were directed towards the club as a whole - how it's run and how they dealt with him personally, not the fans.

I don't understand the Nelson business though. He was important on and off the pitch.

It wasn't too long ago Kean said he needed Nelson back to partner Samba.

Just another example of puppeteering, tbh.

As I have said before, I was at Wigan away last season and when Andrews was announced as one of the subs he was roundly booed by many of our so called supporters. How he performed at all was a mystery. Pedersen and others have suffered the same fete. Our supporters baffle me sometimes. It shows when we get behind the team we can make a difference.

On Saturday we had only been singing, 'Feed the Yak' for a minute or so and he scored. Quality.

I don't agree with players being boo'd because I don't believe it helps, but it's a supporters right to show their dissatisfaction just as an audience will boo a poor theatre performance or comedian etc.

And again, if he had shown his worth of salt he would not be boo'd in the first place. As most players in most teams aren't.

Arshavin was boo'd last week. Villa also boo'd their players last week. Wolves fans have boo'd all season. Newcastle boo'd their losing season. Bolton are boo'd constantly. It's part of the game.

If you really think it affects a players performance then that player isn't strong enough to be a professional footballer in the first place.

What would the Romans think...

A lot of posters on here last week were saying how good QPR are now that Hughes is there and how now they spent money on decent players in January that they are guaranteed survival....well we beat the super R's and sent Hughes back down south with nothing.

We are not in the bottom group of teams fighting for survival for nothing, we are having a terrible season due to so many reasons all of which have been mentioned so many times before that I wont mention them here.

We are not a great team, we have a different defensive line-up every week and we are struggling for survival so to play well even in just one half of the game AND score three goals without reply is a pretty impressive display for any team in this position.

Yes QPR came out and played better the second half but isn't that what you would expect any team of Hughes to do? Did anyone expect us to score another three in the second half?

And yes QPR scored two goals (one very late on and too late to threaten the result) that took the edge off the scoreline a little, but we beat a fellow struggler and kept them deep in the relegation mix and gave ourselves another small lifeline towards the possibility of safety.

It was a crucial and oh so very important win and three points for us that will be so important to us by the end of the season.
Well done the lads! Allez les Bleus.

Sorry Frenchie but for a long time now I've come to the conclusion that we have become Victor Meldrew FC. Our lot seem to like nohing more than to moan and slate our own club, no matter of the result. The only difference now between a win and a loss is we get more moaners posting after defeat than if we win. They like nothing more than slagging the club and seem to live for it. Such a shame that Venky's have brought us to this, thats why I stopped coming on for a while because they were driving me nuts with as much baroonary as Venky's and Kean put together.

Get a grip Morst, its becoming almost unbearable not being able to celebrate a win or you get labelled by numpties like yourself. Its a bit icy, Kean Venky out, we don't sell as many sausages as we used to, Kean Venky out, My lips are a bit dry, Kean venkys out, like a broken record, Kean Venky out, how about STFU you are boring the arse off me. You're starting to sound like a dingle in disguise.

Anyone booing Rovers should be in the Darwen End with the away supporters. Re Andrews, he could have done a job for us on Saturday but he was forced out by mindless supporters and a manager that would not back his judgement. Hodgeson and Allardyce believe him good enough.

Actually, most people are probably enjoying the win "for gods sake" but also being realistic about the situation as a whole, which is dire.

Whilst some fans negativity may reflect that of "Dingles" to you, your unjustified positivity may sound uncannily like Steve Kean to others.

Implying that Blackburn fans are not supporting the best interests of their own football club is disgusting. And you talk of others causing divisions....

Anyway, if we need someone to put a positive spin on the holocaust we'll give you a call.

The reason for football at the weekend is to forget about politics so the politicians should forget about football, they don't mix. Unless the said MP is going to buy it back then he can speak as strongly as he likes, what exactly does that mean, speak very strongly? does he do a 300lb bench press while he is giving his opininion? No he just waffles on and on whilst there was about 3 members in the house and 2 of them were asleep. The only one who picked up on what he said was the trancsriber, did you see it on TV? No so pointless poilitical point scoring for his own constituency. He should stick to trying to save that dog breed of his and he can squat 500lb and talk about that all day long or even about dog fouling in pendle. But football, no don't think so. Keans tenure has been dire, likewise so has venky's but FFS man when we win a game try and enjoy it, there may not be too many more.

I have in the past been the first in the past to criticise negative comments, notably about Allerdyce and the early call for Keans departure……

Although we won on Saturday, anyone who went to that match would probably say that the dire 2nd half was down to Kean…. This is the first time that it has been so stark, due to the in match changes. Unless you are there watching the reaction and interaction of the players on and off the ball, it is impossible to make this judgement. If you don’t like others views make sure you are better informed than them, having not attended the game it is difficult to understand how you could be.

As for the MP, he has got documented and published, using his parliamentary privilege, the grievances of the Rovers support on an international stage. Given our dire situation this is a good thing, any pressure that can be placed on those responsible to sort it out, or even get out, is more than welcome in my view and I’m sure this is the view of the majority.

These are all very "positive" stories this weekend and quite rightly Yakubu should be praised for his contribution this season but surely the LT has to ask more questions rather than just print the party line. For example at the weekend "Kean hails Blackburn Rovers' first half display" what about the second half? When an injured Junior Hoilett was replaced by a 17 year old full back (from his reserve/academy performances a very good one) played on the right of midfield. Taiwo of QPR finally became free to bomb forward and expose Bradley Orr who in the first half was untroubled. The strange decision to replace Formica with Modeste, I have no problem with bringing on an additional forward but surely one more up to speed with the PL. The bench contained Vukcevic, Petrovic and Goodwillie all Kean signings yet none of them were good enough to make the field of play. Are these questions being asked by journalists? The first half showed exactly why Rovers can and should be able to stay in the league, the second half shows the reasons why we could be relegated while this man is in control of the team. All I can hope since he doesnt have the honour to resign is that the players keep us up despite him. Roll on Man City away

The few positive results we've managed this season really show our potential with the core set of players we have. It shows where we ought to be under the right management and investment.

As Andy Cryer has been saying on Twitter, the likes of Robinson, Samba, Olsson, N'Zonzi, Hoilett and Yak would all warrant a place in most of the teams around us. I'd probably add Peds and Givet (at CB) to that list too. Then there's the potential of Lowe and Hanley.

I think the best we can hope for next weekend is that other teams around us don't pick up points.

I would add Keith Andrews and Ryan Nelsen... Oh we forced them out.

Our own fans forced Andrews out,good move that lads.

I don't really see how Andrews showed any worth on the pitch, to be honest. I'm a little angry he went for nothing as he did show some worth in the Championship.

If his performances were up to scratch for Rovers, he wouldn't have got any stick from anyone in the first place.

Furthermore, his post-transfer comments were directed towards the club as a whole - how it's run and how they dealt with him personally, not the fans.

I don't understand the Nelson business though. He was important on and off the pitch.

It wasn't too long ago Kean said he needed Nelson back to partner Samba.

Just another example of puppeteering, tbh.

As I have said before, I was at Wigan away last season and when Andrews was announced as one of the subs he was roundly booed by many of our so called supporters. How he performed at all was a mystery. Pedersen and others have suffered the same fete. Our supporters baffle me sometimes. It shows when we get behind the team we can make a difference.

On Saturday we had only been singing, 'Feed the Yak' for a minute or so and he scored. Quality.

I don't agree with players being boo'd because I don't believe it helps, but it's a supporters right to show their dissatisfaction just as an audience will boo a poor theatre performance or comedian etc.

And again, if he had shown his worth of salt he would not be boo'd in the first place. As most players in most teams aren't.

Arshavin was boo'd last week. Villa also boo'd their players last week. Wolves fans have boo'd all season. Newcastle boo'd their losing season. Bolton are boo'd constantly. It's part of the game.

If you really think it affects a players performance then that player isn't strong enough to be a professional footballer in the first place.

What would the Romans think...

Anyone booing Rovers should be in the Darwen End with the away supporters. Re Andrews, he could have done a job for us on Saturday but he was forced out by mindless supporters and a manager that would not back his judgement. Hodgeson and Allardyce believe him good enough.

For the 3rd time, if he was "doing a job" for the Rovers, he would not have been boo'd.

We did perfectly well without him on Saturday, I have no idea who you think he should have played instead of.

Bizarre comments.

Why have you blabbed on in your post about the worst case scenario not happening but conveniently ignored the promises (financial backing, players hitting the ground running, experience, 4 signings, etc) made to supporters which are the real cause for concern as well as results, lies, and the rest.

I'm quite sure you were one who advocated time for Kean's squad to settle, but are all to quick to criticise Hughes' loss at QPR within 3 weeks. Very good.

As I said, every supporter is enjoying this vital victory over QPR, EVERY supporter, nobody questions that. But at the same time, we're aware of the overall situation which IS dire - there are major concerns to most realistic fans about the tactics on display, managerial capabilities and owners which you seemingly want everyone to ignore.

YOUR first message on this article is a criticism of other fans opinions. Those you feel are "Dingles" and clearly disassociate yourself with who can look beyond a simple win. I'll be honest, I've never read anything valid from you, despite your self-important posts, but I have from most others...

Bizarre? WBA have got a good deal with Andrews. Rovers fans gave him an unjust rough time whilst chanting the likes of Di Santo who WAS 'Not doing a job' - 1 goal in a season also cheering Jermaine Jones who scored none and made no assist at the same time lost us to many points / goalsl to mention. I could go on but what's the point. The likes of you help to cost Allardyce his job. That kind of negativity could be the difference between going down or staying up.

Enjoy the valuable win for gods sake!

It was an absolutely critical match for us to win if we are to stand any chance of staying-up. And we won it!

A lot of posters on here last week were saying how good QPR are now that Hughes is there and how now they spent money on decent players in January that they are guaranteed survival....well we beat the super R's and sent Hughes back down south with nothing.

We are not in the bottom group of teams fighting for survival for nothing, we are having a terrible season due to so many reasons all of which have been mentioned so many times before that I wont mention them here.

We are not a great team, we have a different defensive line-up every week and we are struggling for survival so to play well even in just one half of the game AND score three goals without reply is a pretty impressive display for any team in this position.

Yes QPR came out and played better the second half but isn't that what you would expect any team of Hughes to do? Did anyone expect us to score another three in the second half?

And yes QPR scored two goals (one very late on and too late to threaten the result) that took the edge off the scoreline a little, but we beat a fellow struggler and kept them deep in the relegation mix and gave ourselves another small lifeline towards the possibility of safety.

It was a crucial and oh so very important win and three points for us that will be so important to us by the end of the season.
Well done the lads! Allez les Bleus.

Sorry Frenchie but for a long time now I've come to the conclusion that we have become Victor Meldrew FC. Our lot seem to like nohing more than to moan and slate our own club, no matter of the result. The only difference now between a win and a loss is we get more moaners posting after defeat than if we win. They like nothing more than slagging the club and seem to live for it. Such a shame that Venky's have brought us to this, thats why I stopped coming on for a while because they were driving me nuts with as much baroonary as Venky's and Kean put together.

Hello Ms Desia - whats the weather like in Pune?
.
Keanocchio Out!

Get a grip Morst, its becoming almost unbearable not being able to celebrate a win or you get labelled by numpties like yourself. Its a bit icy, Kean Venky out, we don't sell as many sausages as we used to, Kean Venky out, My lips are a bit dry, Kean venkys out, like a broken record, Kean Venky out, how about STFU you are boring the arse off me. You're starting to sound like a dingle in disguise.

OK MS Desia - ignore the truth spoken in the House of Commons last week and bury your chicken head in the sand. Nelsen did not play for Spurs on Sat did he not in your dream world?
.
As for any rovers fan on here suggesting anyone unhappy with Kean (Who would not be with such a numpty?) is a Dingle only serves to ensure you are seen as a complete fool madam!
.
33rd............

The reason for football at the weekend is to forget about politics so the politicians should forget about football, they don't mix. Unless the said MP is going to buy it back then he can speak as strongly as he likes, what exactly does that mean, speak very strongly? does he do a 300lb bench press while he is giving his opininion? No he just waffles on and on whilst there was about 3 members in the house and 2 of them were asleep. The only one who picked up on what he said was the trancsriber, did you see it on TV? No so pointless poilitical point scoring for his own constituency. He should stick to trying to save that dog breed of his and he can squat 500lb and talk about that all day long or even about dog fouling in pendle. But football, no don't think so. Keans tenure has been dire, likewise so has venky's but FFS man when we win a game try and enjoy it, there may not be too many more.
Victor Meldrew FC

I have in the past been the first in the past to criticise negative comments, notably about Allerdyce and the early call for Keans departure……

Although we won on Saturday, anyone who went to that match would probably say that the dire 2nd half was down to Kean…. This is the first time that it has been so stark, due to the in match changes. Unless you are there watching the reaction and interaction of the players on and off the ball, it is impossible to make this judgement. If you don’t like others views make sure you are better informed than them, having not attended the game it is difficult to understand how you could be.

As for the MP, he has got documented and published, using his parliamentary privilege, the grievances of the Rovers support on an international stage. Given our dire situation this is a good thing, any pressure that can be placed on those responsible to sort it out, or even get out, is more than welcome in my view and I’m sure this is the view of the majority.

I admit Kean did nearly screw it up, and tried his lets defend now that we are in front suicide but sorry if I disappoint you when I enjoy the 3 points and fail to acknowledge an Mp whose main cause to champion is dog breeding and dog turd scooping, I suppose it could come in handy when dealing with Rovers management team though, I may have to think about it.

Exactly correct, there was nothing wrong with Andrews and he may come back to haunt us, but be careful what you say, too many champ managers on here.
But as andrews is now an x rovers player he will get treated as any other x rovers player, just like Nelsen is now an x Rovers player and Roberts too. Spilt milk, they are gone, otherwise we may as well be taliking about shearer and sutton, whats the point?
They don't and never will play for us again just as allardyce will never manage us again, so why keep going on about it, same said to both sides of the argument? Why not concentrate on what we have left?

Sorry mate but I've never read a post on here before by you, unless you changed your login from something else. A shapeshifter. I never change my login and have always been the same. I celebrate when we win and I don't when we lose. Sick and tired of all the, they promised us beckham and Ronaldinho boll@x it seems pretty obvious to me that it aint happening so why keep bringing it up? They have significantly reduced the wage bill, by removing non functioning high earners and reduced the average age of the team, they have replaced a high earning manager with one on lower wages also. Will it work? who knows but it looks like they are trying to run it like a business. Reducing costs and making it self viable. Would you sooner they be like Bolton in 100 million pounds worth of debt only to finish in the bottom 3? The problem is fans don't see the bigger picture, they want 10 million pound signings and to chant loads and loads of money, but it aint going to happen. So does this MP stand up and say he wants venky's to sell to an oil sheikh with bottomless pockets? and to be honest with you I think the fans buyout is pie in the sky. Can you afford to give up just 10,000 to make it happen, a director of a large company might well think its a great idea, but then again he has spare 10,000 lying around all over the place. Do you? I may annoy the living sh1t out of everyone but I'm a realist and not a fantasist like half of you guys. They aint sacking Kean and they aint selling us either not even if there was a second coming.

As Andy Cryer has been saying on Twitter, the likes of Robinson, Samba, Olsson, N'Zonzi, Hoilett and Yak would all warrant a place in most of the teams around us. I'd probably add Peds and Givet (at CB) to that list too. Then there's the potential of Lowe and Hanley.

I think the best we can hope for next weekend is that other teams around us don't pick up points.

I would add Keith Andrews and Ryan Nelsen... Oh we forced them out.

Our own fans forced Andrews out,good move that lads.

I don't really see how Andrews showed any worth on the pitch, to be honest. I'm a little angry he went for nothing as he did show some worth in the Championship.

If his performances were up to scratch for Rovers, he wouldn't have got any stick from anyone in the first place.

Furthermore, his post-transfer comments were directed towards the club as a whole - how it's run and how they dealt with him personally, not the fans.

I don't understand the Nelson business though. He was important on and off the pitch.

It wasn't too long ago Kean said he needed Nelson back to partner Samba.

Just another example of puppeteering, tbh.

As I have said before, I was at Wigan away last season and when Andrews was announced as one of the subs he was roundly booed by many of our so called supporters. How he performed at all was a mystery. Pedersen and others have suffered the same fete. Our supporters baffle me sometimes. It shows when we get behind the team we can make a difference.

On Saturday we had only been singing, 'Feed the Yak' for a minute or so and he scored. Quality.

I don't agree with players being boo'd because I don't believe it helps, but it's a supporters right to show their dissatisfaction just as an audience will boo a poor theatre performance or comedian etc.

And again, if he had shown his worth of salt he would not be boo'd in the first place. As most players in most teams aren't.

Arshavin was boo'd last week. Villa also boo'd their players last week. Wolves fans have boo'd all season. Newcastle boo'd their losing season. Bolton are boo'd constantly. It's part of the game.

If you really think it affects a players performance then that player isn't strong enough to be a professional footballer in the first place.

What would the Romans think...

Anyone booing Rovers should be in the Darwen End with the away supporters. Re Andrews, he could have done a job for us on Saturday but he was forced out by mindless supporters and a manager that would not back his judgement. Hodgeson and Allardyce believe him good enough.

Who the hell do you think you are? And why would you be trying to educate an inanimate object? And why is your vocabulary so disgustingly offensive when you have criticised others for using such language in the past?

Why have you blabbed on in your post about the worst case scenario not happening but conveniently ignored the promises (financial backing, players hitting the ground running, experience, 4 signings, etc) made to supporters which are the real cause for concern as well as results, lies, and the rest.

I'm quite sure you were one who advocated time for Kean's squad to settle, but are all to quick to criticise Hughes' loss at QPR within 3 weeks. Very good.

As I said, every supporter is enjoying this vital victory over QPR, EVERY supporter, nobody questions that. But at the same time, we're aware of the overall situation which IS dire - there are major concerns to most realistic fans about the tactics on display, managerial capabilities and owners which you seemingly want everyone to ignore.

YOUR first message on this article is a criticism of other fans opinions. Those you feel are "Dingles" and clearly disassociate yourself with who can look beyond a simple win. I'll be honest, I've never read anything valid from you, despite your self-important posts, but I have from most others...

Sorry mate but I've never read a post on here before by you, unless you changed your login from something else. A shapeshifter. I never change my login and have always been the same. I celebrate when we win and I don't when we lose.
Sick and tired of all the, they promised us beckham and Ronaldinho boll@x it seems pretty obvious to me that it aint happening so why keep bringing it up? They have significantly reduced the wage bill, by removing non functioning high earners and reduced the average age of the team, they have replaced a high earning manager with one on lower wages also. Will it work? who knows but it looks like they are trying to run it like a business. Reducing costs and making it self viable. Would you sooner they be like Bolton in 100 million pounds worth of debt only to finish in the bottom 3?
The problem is fans don't see the bigger picture, they want 10 million pound signings and to chant loads and loads of money, but it aint going to happen. So does this MP stand up and say he wants venky's to sell to an oil sheikh with bottomless pockets? and to be honest with you I think the fans buyout is pie in the sky. Can you afford to give up just 10,000 to make it happen, a director of a large company might well think its a great idea, but then again he has spare 10,000 lying around all over the place. Do you? I may annoy the living sh1t out of everyone but I'm a realist and not a fantasist like half of you guys. They aint sacking Kean and they aint selling us either not even if there was a second coming.

A shapeshifter?? What?? Come on man, grow up.

I respectfully disagree and in fact would suggest it's the opposite. Supporters are fully aware of the bigger picture - which is negative no matter which way it's spun - and want to debate that, having already acknowledged the important win at QPR.

However judging by your posts, anybody wanting to debate those wider issues is accused of behaving like a dingle which sometimes makes you come across as some sort of positive PR machine, hence the accusations by some others.

Anyway, I don't want a slanging match. I firmly believe we have the players necessary to stay in the Prem, whether or not we have the other staff for it is another question. One thing is for sure though, if we do stay up we'll be expected to be thankful and appreciative of that, despite being a top 10 team just 18 months ago.

And I do agree with your thoughts on the takeover bids and such. They're here to stay, but that's no reason to be apathetic about it.

KDG - you are unbelievable! Ever occur to you the reason there were not many posts was because the evil trio have stopped them at weekends because they did not like being told they are wrong. Stalin and Hitler had similar personalities?
.
Sounds like your one of them because again you refer not to the opinion of two local MP's who have stated their concerns in public, thousands of Rovers fans critical of whats going on, local businessmen also and your fellow posters, ex players etc etc?
.
And now your upset at the critical comments of you after abusing many true Rovers fans on here - well Boo Hoo!
