Pre-Season 2013

Got a season ticket, and tend to go to a few away games, think I went to 6 last season. You?

yeah same got a season ticket also go to quite a few away games probs about 12 last season including Ipswich and Bristol City what you reckon to our chances this season ?

After years of utter dross, even when we won. I hope this goal will be a sign of things to come under Sean O'Driscoll.

Ah good effort! I went to 7 away actually, forgot about Millwall in the FA Cup. Trying to erase those two games from my memory, particularly the Ewood one.

Hard to say really, Bowyer deserves a decent chance after rescuing us twice last season with two good spells. I'm still a little worried about the midfield, Lowe, Marrow and Williamson will all put a decent shift in and work hard enough but there's nobody really there with any technical or creative quality. Thankfully it looks like Bowyer is trying to bring somebody in. Didn't include Dunn 'cos a) he may have to play just behind Rhodes and b) I'd wrap him in cotton wool until Burnley away in September!!

ha ha cheers also yeah they weren't good games the one at Ewood was awful Shittu just headed everything away.

Yeah would agree with that he did and they all run around and Williamson looked good towards end of last season but is very injury prone and yeah he has said he is looking for more midfield players. And ha ha he might depending on how much Rochina plays and ha ha yeah ! Where is your season ticket to sit for the home games ?

Yeah it was terrible wasn't it, Appleton's tactics just seemed to be 'lump it forward' and Shittu got there every time. We made him look ace.

The Williamson and Jones partnership at the end of last season was okay I thought, steady enough for the Championship, but as you say he's injury prone and we didn't get Jones permanently. I really like Rochina, he can be frustrating at times but he's so naturally talented. Just needs to improve his decision making and he'd be a hell of a player.

I sit in the Jack Walker upper tier near the Blackburn End. Not the best atmosphere but the atmosphere is poor in every stand now, apart from that top corner of the Darwen End. You?

The Blackburn Rovers thread. Aww yeah.

1-0 down to Everton at home Hanley own goal

2-0 Jelavic.

Only a pre season game but it's amazing seeing how different we play compared to under Moyes. Jelavic is staying central, not running the channels and looking sharper. Coleman is unbelievable. The key is Gibson tho, he drops deep and gets the ball then pings it everywhere with ease. Everything has gone through him in all of of pre season friendlies so far.

Drew 0-0 without really threatening against AEL Limassol today.

tonight...latest Hamburger 1-3 West Ham half time!!

FT Hamburger 1-3 West Ham

Nice to see Coutinho looks as if he's still in some great form, even if it is just a friendly

We got picked up a 1-0 victory at Blackpool in the Wonga.com Derby, which ironically had a very low rate of interest given the game failed to sell out even half the stadium.

What? I mean WHAT?

Both us and Blackpool have Wonga as sponsors, so the game is unofficially referred to as such.

Coincidentally one of our friendlies still to come is at Rangers, which is unofficially the Sports Direct Derby as Mike Ashley also owns a stake in them.

Bristol City vs Rangers a while ago was called the "Blackthorn Cup" for the same reason that the Wonga derby is such.
