FULL TIME: Blackburn Rovers 2 Barnsley 1
11:36pm Tuesday 18th September 2012 in Sport
NUNO Gomes came off the bench to net a late winner as Blackburn Rovers came from behind to beat Barnsley and stay top of the Championship.
Jacob Mellis had fired Barnsley in front just after the half hour mark but Jordan Rhodes levelled in superb fashion, swivelling to find the top corner, on the stroke of half time.
Marlon Harewood fired wide after Scott Dann's poor backpass had put him clear on goal but it was Rovers who secure the victory when Fabio Nunes crossed from the left for fellow substitute Gomes to convert five minutes from time.

As for the game, Rovers not brilliant again but we do have that extra bit of class to win games. In my humble opinion we could just do with a bit more pace in our attacking options.

Hopefully the defence will become more confident. Roll on friday and ask yourself this, would you sooner be Bolton right now?
Up Up and away, we spartans will continue to do our bit for the cause. Boycotters? who cares so long as we keep winning.

The secret of a side going up is to win ugly. Thats what we are doing. The longer it continues the more confidence it will breed. Great win. This lot drew with blackpool last week and we turned them over coming from behind again The other team that will be hard work will be cardiff.

Awful game apparently. Highest spenders in the league, with the biggest wage bill and we hardly touched the ball.

Second half we looked more of a threat and nulllified barnsley more effectively than in the first. Great substitution taking of rochina (who seems more of an impact player than one from the start) and another three points on the board. Lets hope they keep there negativity to the telegraph website.

Fabio Nunes looks like a live wire. Also, another touch of class from Nuno Gomes. Scott Dann needs to be dropped though after dropping another clanger like the one he did against Leicester. I fear that Dann is another Christian Dailly ie overpriced, overrated and prone to defensive mistakes. Hanley and Givet are much more solid defenders in my opinion.

Oh how I laughed when that 2nd went in. I haven't had such a time on footy for yonks.
You just know that the front two are going to plunder goals, and that is worth watching !
The atmosphere was utter tripe unfortunately but not unexpected.

When you eventually fall off that very high horse you seemed to have clambered aboard it would be lovely to have you back at Ewood.
It does seem that your comment, while morally commendable, is more a comment on modern day football than simply a statment on the Club which I will lead back to the Premiership, with an army of 10-15000 behind me (depending on quality of oppostion, night of the week, time of the day, quality of the weather and most importantly X factor schedueling).
Whos with me!? Not you Matt, but who else!

Every match report I have read, every game I've listened to on Radio Rovers (We don't get a lot of coverage on the Championship in Australia) has said we have been average to poor.
Of course I am pleased we got a win and we are top of the league, only after 6 games though and we've not played anyone really decent (Leeds and Leicester maybe) but that joy is tempered with the fact that Kean is still our manager.
Imagine how well we would play with the players we have if we had a decent manager!!!!

Why one striker it only encourages the opposition to push up.
Thankfully the pedigree of Rhodes Gomes and Nunes stood out
Nunez showed up Pedersen in 5 minute's, whom won't attempt to run past anyone or get down the line.
Its no wonder we can't keep clean sheets Orr and Dann were shocking

Jordan Rhodes is a real hero for our new generation and his passion to get a goal on each match is happening. God Bless. All the best for next match.

Both Hanley and Dann should be dropped after they both gave the ball away by passing to a Barnsley forward directly in front of goal any Premiership side would have sunk us from such glaring errors.What is Hendry teaching them?
Playing at home top of the league with a sole striker what kind of managerial tatic is that? Barnsley did outplay and out pass us but our individual quality won us the games the ever more impressive Rhodes and both the Portugese lads made the difference with Gomes scoring again a modern day Tugay he is a fans favourite already.
I went home happy we won disappointed that we cannot control a game against inferior opposition Hill has Barnsley well organised as an ex Rover I wish he was our manager.

I love Rovers with all my heart, After my wife had a brain tumor and lost all will to venture out the house or be seen by strangers due to her new unwanted looks, it was her love of Rovers that got her to visit the Millennium Stadium to watch us win against the yids, Great weekend and restored my wife's confidence to venture outdoors once more, this was all thanks to the endearing words she received from Rovers fans alot who she had never meet before.
When Rovers can offer me the feeling of being a football club again & not just being a play toy for some wealthy people along with a job for the boys club employing people who do not know what they are doing I will return

Dear Steve, although the Venky's are responsible for finding sponsors as you state. No sponsor in his right mind would want to be associated with a manager who has a reputation for breaking the law, slandering people and generally being totally unsuitable to run a Sunday's school team never mind a former PL champions winning club.

Rhodes- Great Goal
Gomes-Fantastic Finish.
I have noticed a lot of posts on here after last nights game criticise Scott Dann. Agreed, he was pretty poor but Grant Hanley... Am I the only fan who gets nervous and anxious when Grant has the ball at feet. I appreciate he is young but for me he is pretty average central defender.... no pace, no passing ability & clumsy!!
Still, top of the league... Bring on Boro!!

No Moral fortitude whatsoever.

All it took for some of you was some money spent on totally mercenary players and their agents and us winning a few early games.

We could win the league, get promoted, do well back in the premier league and I would still not grace the corrupt regime with my presence.

What worries me is the defence, Orr is no better than a Sunday morning clogger, Hanley still looks raw&prone to a positional error or two but he gets stuck in and looks commuted. Dann is the biggest worry, because like the t1t that signed him, he thinks he's better than he is. Strutting around, p0ncing about adjusting his shorts and socks for the cameras. Well Scott the only time anyone watches you , is when you sell the keeper and your teammates short with your poor passing and dodgy backpasses.
He's left the team vunerable more times this season, than Samba&Nelson together did during their Ewood careers and that in itself explains why you should never sign a defender from a relegated side.
Also, I wonder if Dann will grip a rogue dingle if one strays onto the pitch at tuff morgue in December & trys to attack one of our stars?
That alone promoted Ryan to hero status amongst the Ewood faithful. I hope he washed his hands after touching that scruffy inbred cousin marrying success-starved piece of claret 5hite!

61% possession for Barnsley! Barnsley for gawd sake!!! (No disrespect intended but come on!) Even Kean said we were awful.
Every match report I have read, every game I've listened to on Radio Rovers (We don't get a lot of coverage on the Championship in Australia) has said we have been average to poor.
Of course I am pleased we got a win and we are top of the league, only after 6 games though and we've not played anyone really decent (Leeds and Leicester maybe) but that joy is tempered with the fact that Kean is still our manager.
Imagine how well we would play with the players we have if we had a decent manager!!!!

What worries me is the defence, Orr is no better than a Sunday morning clogger, Hanley still looks raw&prone to a positional error or two but he gets stuck in and looks commuted. Dann is the biggest worry, because like the t1t that signed him, he thinks he's better than he is. Strutting around, p0ncing about adjusting his shorts and socks for the cameras. Well Scott the only time anyone watches you , is when you sell the keeper and your teammates short with your poor passing and dodgy backpasses. He's left the team vunerable more times this season, than Samba&Nelson together did during their Ewood careers and that in itself explains why you should never sign a defender from a relegated side. Also, I wonder if Dann will grip a rogue dingle if one strays onto the pitch at tuff morgue in December & trys to attack one of our stars? That alone promoted Ryan to hero status amongst the Ewood faithful. I hope he washed his hands after touching that scruffy inbred cousin marrying success-starved piece of claret 5hite!S.Dann should play better in the back, Fashion show after 90mts is ok, I am happy about him, he got a goal in this season. If he improves his defence, he is OK in this level. after 50 matchs , we cannot through away Dann.

Kean must be the luckiest manager ever........Not a clue, and the team pulling him through and making him look good. Proper manager in = United Ewood.
I dont need players to make me look good, just a sharp suit, shoe polish and a winning smile.

Hi guys, Steve here. Just a polite request, will you please leave me alone. I am clearly not going to get sacked, especially as the team keep winning, are currently top of the league, have a 100% record at home and are scoring goals for fun. Finally my good friends the Venkys have decided to back me with money and I can finally start to show the world my managing genius. A lot of comments seem to refer to the fact we are bad defensively and are getting 'lucky' by outscoring the other team, but although some of you doubt my credentials, i am pretty certain that this is the key premise of football, so we will continue our tactics of trying to score more than the opposition.
Would be nice to see some of you down at Ewood on Friday because you all claim to support the club, but the closest you are coming to ewood is coming on these comment boards to abuse me. You dont have to like me, the venkys, or even our hideous home shirt, but its the club you all support, not individuals. Anyway must go, Mrs Desai has just whipped up a banging Massala.

This is the best time to sack kean while we are top of the table that way we have a chance of getting a high profile decent manager in if we start slipping down the table then no one would want to take rovers on.
Yes he never did a good job last season infact he should have been sacked at christmas but he wasnt. He stuck at his job ignored the abuse and built a new team to get us back. At the moment he is doing the best anyone could do - so give the man a break. If you are a true rovers fan you will get behind the team whoever the manager is.

How short a memory do these "real supporters" have, p1ssing against the wall in the Blackburn End bogs, with 5000 gates, struggling to pay the elec bill & poor quality football.
The lot of you want to get a grip and stop living in the past, some of them were still moaning when we won the Prem in 95.
I'm still going and will die a blue, but I have noticed in our space crowds, a lot of familiar faces from years back, before the money before the glory years. Proper fans sticking by a club through thick and thin. I suspect more than half of these stay aways probably supported Liverpool in the 70's and 80's and hooked onto Rovers when Jack W turned up.
And if you want to chant anti Kean on the game , so be it, I'd love to see the back of him, too many sweatys managing English clubs cos they suck up to owners in a style the jocks and paddys always have. You pays your money as they say, but if you sit on your ar5e at home , no one hears your opinion.
Talking of opinions I wish those 3 or 4 miserable old gits in the Riverside (row 11, seats 89, 90, 91 etc would get off Pedersons case. 7 years , some superb goals (dingles in cup replay my favourite), tons of assists, and dedication to the cause and these coffin dodgers slate him off. I was quick to point out to them his assist last night, goal v Leicester and pass at Leeds for Olsons goal. No recognition never mind apology off either of the t0ssers

They are proffesional footballers, so if i have the need to 'teach' anyone how to defend then we seriously have issues that go beyond me and my wonderful backroom staff.

Sick of the petty squabbles between "stay aways" and then who want to see the team play live. It's their choice what they decide. Yes Kean is a despicable individual, but most of the managers i've had at work have been @rseholes, i've still had to go to work though!

Friday's match is live on tv, so the "Spartans" do not need to go to Ewood park to see the team win. They can show their support for the "CLUB" by watching in pubs, clubs and at home along with the "Boycotters". This will show the media, Venky's, Shebby etc that the "fans" will return once Kean is history.
Just think what affect an empty stadium would have never in the history of football would the power of the fans be shown to be so powerful. Give the game back to the fans, not the play thing of people who do not care two hoots for the game.
Why not stick with rovers and forget who the manager and owners are, have you ever thought that the negativity of the fans chanting 'Kean Out' rubs off on the players and effects the way they play??
How about not using up your energy on kean and use it on rovers who are at the heart of this and what really matters, its all about pushing the players on and encouraging them to thrive and push them in the right direction rather than breeding the negativity on the pitch, were a laughing stock week in week out with the away fans due to the fact that we always chanting kean out and they join in cause this will impact the way our players perform.
I was at the game yesterday, nobody has mentioned etuhu, even though he is big and strong and lundges in time to time he had the ball quite often yesterday and what did he do everytime he got the ball even when in space, pass it to another player who has a defender marking him close by, etuhu needs to use his size and power to push forward and run with the ball, all he tends to do is win the ball and pass it rather than using the space he has.
Even though the turn out is dire i only hope this gets better, just waiting to play burnley cause thats when all the rovers fans will come and once they watch rovers play burnley (depending on a good result at the end of it) we should see plenty more of them supporters coming back for more.
