Think they got it for cup tie at Leicester.

15 mins to go and 3-0 up at home.

Anyone else given away a lead like that this season?

Decent enough fightback from them but, I'm afraid the horse had already bolted.

Blimey that got well too close for comfort. The subs off and on made a big difference, positively for Rovers, negatively for Potters.

COBBLE · Post by **COBBLE** » Fri Mar 10, 2023 9:58 pm

Just shows. If the way you are playing gets you three ahead don't suddenly start playing deeper. By the way I thought the way the lad took the first 2 for Stoke was amazing.

they are garbage, the only hope they have against us is if we are on the beach

Only thing better than seeing Rovers lose 3-0 is seeing them pull it back to 3-2 and early leavers return to their seats… only to run out of time. To think I nearly didn’t watch it.

I was really enjoying that until those last few nervous minutes - but all's well that ends well

4 home wins tonight, with wins for Caley, Crewe, Queen's Park & Stoke, let's hope that's an omen for tomorrow.

Stoke made heavy weather of it in the latter stages, but thankfully held on to inflict Rovers 14th league defeat of the season.

How they are sitting 4th with that many losses is baffling.

Because your better off winning 1 and losing 2 , than drawing 2 and only losing 1.

How shite is Gallagher? He has the ball skills of a man in wellies. Blackburns defence is all over the place
Dolan was left stranded for both Stoke goals

Ha ha ha.. excellent..!

2 1 to Inverness Caley Thistle v Kilmarnock in the cup.
Snowing a blizzard!

Caley see it out meaning there will be at least 2 lower league sides in the last 4, what's the odds the Old Firm are kept apart?

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Mar 11, 2023 12:05 pm

It would be good to eliminate one of them and the other in the final!

Not saying I disagree, but I was interested to hear on commentary last night that when Gallagher plays they have something like an 87% win rate, and without him about 13%.
I assume that that is correct, although the stats will have changed a bit after last night.
(They lost at Turf Moor when he played, but I think it was 0-0 when he went off injured)

Sad as I am, I've just checked their record when Gallagher has started, and that's 22 league games. They've won 16 and lost 6 which is 48 points from 22 games which is just about the number of points per game we have over our 35 games. One of those 6 defeats was the one against us although, as you said, it was 0-0 when he went off.

The Rovers fans leaving early last night were heard chanting 'I'm Rovers till half nine' as they left the ground.
