We all have to get behind our beloved club in these uncertain times. Everyone is so miserable when it comes to the Rovers and it is boring. We have had a shocking start but we played well in the last game apart from the missed penalties. We look like we have signed Dann and if we can get another striker in as well that will be 7 players which is what Kean was looking for.
There are plenty of positives we need a bit more time to gel. We have some quality young prospects who are on the cusp of acclimatising to the league and I really do have faith in the team. I believe we should be excited about these times ahead and look forward to them. Once we pick up a few points peoples opinions will change you wait and see. You can say I am deluded all you like but when the chips are down you dont give up and start slating your club you fight to defend our honour.
We are one of the founder members of the football league and no one should forget that we are entitled to Premier League football and we are good enough to remain among the elite. Lets get behind the lads. They cant control anything apart from their own performance, so booing them and not turning up will only be detrimental. Lets make Ewood a fortress again teams will not come expecting to pick up easy points at our home. There is plenty of football to be played and it looks as though we have an easy route to the 4th round of the league cup so why not a cup run as well? We are still Uncle Jacks Barmy Army but we have to be patient with the Rao family, give them a little more time, after all they are not going anywhere anytime soon.
Fortress Ewood

Only read the first line but I agreed with it.

Jim, I would love to agree with you but for a few points:
1) Our owners
They are liars and to date have sacked good people replacing them with inferior yes men.
2) Our Manager
Before Saturday our record under Kean was thus:
Here's some nice facts about the progress Rovers are making under Steve Kean:
Rovers have won just 2 of their last 16 matches
Rovers have lost half of their last 16 matches
Rovers haven't kept a clean sheet for 10 matches
At just .75 points per match (last 16), Rovers would pick up 29 points (28.5) over a full season.
Our Squad:
Is it better than when Kean took over, well it's a subjective argument, are the losses of Jones, Diouf, Emo, Super Keith, Kalinic adequately replaced by Dann, Goodwillie, Formica and Rochina (plus whoever else we've got) only time will tell.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating, Keans record is woeful and we've yet to sign anyone I feel will turn our team around.
As for your sentiments, it's a lovely theory. Rovers is a passion, has been since I could toddle and always will be. One question for you though:
Can you still walk around with the same level of admiration for and pride in our club as you could 12 months ago?
