The Match Against Blackburn Rovers

[TANGODANCER]

If Davies leaves in the summer, and assuming he stays, Ricketts should be club captain.

Absolute legend in my eyes. Looking for senior pros to help the kids through today and Sam, Petrov and NRC didn't let us down.

Doubt Kevin Davies will leave. If he does, Reo Coker hands down.

[Verbal]

Ricketts was great today. But NRC would still be my choice for captain tbh. Reading that guardian piece from yesterday probably sums up why.

Anyway, today...

We put in a lot of effort. A lot. At times it wasn't pretty but it worked. Blackburn were poor for the majority and couldn't defend set pieces for toffee.

Petrov my Motm. If Davies, Ngog and Prat-trick could head a ball we would've coasted, his deliveries were superb. Tracked back very well too and just looked so hungry for the ball. Bogdan let himself down with his collecting, but I was impressed that he still had the confidence in himself to still come for the ball afterwards.

But as has been said, can't fault anyone in a white shirt today.

I like saying the word today, apparently.

[bobo the clown]

over 20 crosses by Mr Petrov today AND tracking back & looking to win the ball.

[Prufrock]

Just watched OC's post match interview. Really bizarre creepy bit where he turned to the camera and spoke to Muamba via TV. Unsettling!

[BWFC_Insane]

I just like Ricketts'' attitude.

And do we still not have a team captain role and club captain role?

[ROVERS F.C.]

Fair play Bolton,that's now twice you have convincingly beaten us this season...we can have little complaint,we were shite today.Going to be very close for both of us in the run in..que serra serra, lets hope we are both in this league next season!

Nice tribute to Muamba,well done to all.

[jimbo]

Agreed, Ricketts is a good advert for the club. Was really impressed by the media work he got through whilst out injured. Always speaks eloquently and thoughtfully which is a rare thing. A real asset to the club, especially given his versatility on the pitch

Thanks Rover man. Be nice if it worked out that way. Best of luck.

[BWFC_Insane]

Blackburn fans were great on the whole today thanks for that. One or two idiots singing stupid things like, but get that all the time I guess.

[TANGODANCER]

Best thing about today for me was the effort. Everybody looked well up for it; really commendable after a hellish week. Bit iffy at the last quarter, but they were chasing it and we were holding on for the points. At times we played some really decent football and Mark Davies, Ryo and Petrov were really taking it to them. More a cup game than a league one,but all our games are cup games now. Well done the lads.

Oh, and Liverpool, what a fcuking shower.

[Athers]

What on Earth was played over the PAS when the first goal went in by the way?

[Worthy4England]

I s'pose I can't really say Boggers scared the sh*te outta me today then?

Dropped bloody everything for about 70 mins...

Great win though.

[Athers]

Since we love stats when we win

M.Davies 33/34 passes made successfully.
Wheater a mammoth 20 clearances.
NRC both match highs of 7 tackles, 6 intercepts

Mauro Formica, 65 minutes, 5/5 passes made, 3 times he was disposessed. Well done young man.

[Prufrock]

Formica's was the most anonymous performance I have ever seen.

Sooooo bad. They were gash though. Don't think Pedersen had more than two touches in a row other than when taking throw ins. Touch, and nice person.

[Always hopeful]

What on Earth was played over the PAS when the first goal went in by the way?

Good question. I was wondering that too. Anyone any idea?

[adamworthy2002]

What on Earth was played over the PAS when the first goal went in by the way?

I wondered that too, sounded like something was played backwards

Musthave been thebish's Muambo N0 6.

Petrov did exactly the same. General interview where he looked up, down, across etc., then when it came to wishing Fab well he looked into the camera.

Some media trainings been going down this week I think

Ricketts did well but I was a little shocked at his free kick at the end of the game. I don't know what that was about.
