Blackburn Rovers v AFC Bournemouth - 3 Games To Go

I felt for Mowbray today. Watching him during the game, he seemed very disheartened. Every time we broke forward, we looked threatening and despite their - few - efforts on goal (2nd half only?) Blackburn didn't strike me as threatening in the same way.

You do know, it hasn't happened right? Willing it to, and it actually happening are poles apart. Forest are still 11/5 to even beat us, let alone get second. I hope you haven't laid anything off, and lose the lot. PS I win £1200 if we win league, just haven't felt the need to bang on about it. I don't think that's going to happen now either.[/QUOTE

I cashed out after 15 games.
Bought a sunseeker, a house in the Turks & Caicos Islands, divorced the wife, and got a Sweedish porn star in.
I'm also standing for the Tory party at the upcoming Tiverton by-election.
Life is good when gambling.

The ironic fact is that we have gotten this far without ever coming up against an actual "must-win", and Tuesday isn't one either. Weird.

True ! The last game could be “must win” and depending upon other results winning could not be enough to get it done. What an end to the season !
It’s exciting. Come on. This is why we are football fans. I am convinced that ending up in the playoffs wouldn’t be the end of the world for us, I’d fancy us to win them, so now I am determined to enjoy the final two games and hopefully they’ll see us secure automatic promotion !

From a Rovers forum.

And to think some posters had the front this morning to suggest this game wasn't a dead rubber!

Never got close to laying a glove on an efficient and well drilled Bournemouth outfit. Billing very impressive Solanke not far behind. Pretty typical Mowbray to give a bumper crowd absolutely nothing to get excited about. They won't be back in a hurry.

I called Forest to finish above us weeks ago and most on here laughed, so confident of it that i put a substantial sum of money on it. Maybe I do know what I’m talking about?

So because you put “substantial” money on a bet, that means you know what you’re talking about? What nonsense. What you do talk, Waz, is utter bollox, perfectly demonstrated today by your somewhat pathetic insight into Parkers strategy. He certainly made you look a fool today, not that that’s particularly difficult to do.

And by the way, “substantial“ is relative, again your condescending arrogance shines through.
 
Forest have had an incredible run but how good are we on our day? We were in control from start to finish today in an incredibly neat and tidy performance. Blackburn were at home and had to win but our lads were under massive pressure to get 3 points today and coasted through the game. It will be interesting to see a team come here on Tuesday and have to play all out attack. I wouldn't fancy having to do that against us if we're on it.

I listened to the Rovers commentary and despite the usual bias - ala Willo - they'd pretty much given up, before our 2nd goal.
When the 2nd went in, they definitely gave up. At 3-0 they were desperately hoping for a consolation goal.

Forest lack our quality? Lol

They have the two best centre backs in the league in Worrall and McKenna.
They have one of the best young forwards in Europe in Johnson.
They have a top six PL standard wing back in Spence.

They do not lack quality lol

Surridge and Forest may have been helped by playing a Swansea CB pairing of an 18yo kid and a 33 year old who has played 99% of his career as a full back!
 
To be fair to Blackburn they did try and win and did create a few chances,Diaz I think is decent and may be worth a punt if we go up.
Difference between us and them,other than Diaz they lacked any real quality and in the end our quality showed through.
I have the resident troll on ignore,I am guessing he's making a fool of himself again ,and after a great 3-0 win too,what a bell end.

I wouldn't say no to Bereton Diaz either; although he wasn't much of a threat today.Just not sure where he'd fit into our line-up at present, i.e. who gets binned?
Equally, if what we have is equal to or better than BD, then we'd probably be buying better, if we replaced one of Solanke/Moore. Assuming the likes of Lowe/Dembele are back-ups.

You need as many goalscorers as you can in the Prem,I know it was down to Wilsons injury but at one point we had Wilson,King and Afobe vying for the forward spots,latterly Wilson,King and Solanke.
If we are to replace someone,it has to be Lowe,I think Kieffer Moore is quality and could be an asset In the Prem.
I like Lowe and he probably hasn't played his proper position enough to convince me but I don't think he would cut it anywhere on the pitch in the top league,so if we replaced him with Diaz I wouldn't be moaning.
 
You've got to love this forum, decent 3-0 win, promotion still in our hands and most of the posts are people sniping at one another.

Reminds me of us playing Newcastle a few seasons ago, 2-0 down and the lad next to me did nothing but complaint moan and whinge. We brought it back to 2-2, he didn't really celebrate either goal and didn't make a sound once we'd equalised.

Yup. Very comfortable victory and we end up with a match-thread full of listen-to-me posts and a load of guff about teams we weren't playing and ex-players who were nowhere near Ewood Park today.

Have to agree. Strangely negative vibe after such a superb victory. Thought today was a thoroughly comprehensive win and some superb performances, Billing in particular. Strange that we never quite know which side will show up though. Tuesday is huge, just hope we don't try to sit back or it could be a long 90 minutes!
