To all the doom and gloom merchants on here who say we are going down by Feb - we love you Rovers we do!! You miserable muppets stop moaning and be positive. Now lets crack on and get out of the bottom three. I always keep faith in my team unlike the vast majority.
Absolutely marvelous performance and dare I say it Kean showed tactical prowess and outsmarted Sir Alex today. Our reserve back line were awesome in the true sense of the word. If we can pull off a few more performances like that we are fully capable of staying up! COYR
Keep the faith

4 out of the last 6 possible is brilliant. More of the same please, it shows all we lack is consistency.

Not getting carried away but I think this shows we can stay up, that is the bear minimum and of paramount concern.

You are getting somewhat carried away calling our fans miserable muppets because we complained about Rovers being marooned at the bottom. I fully agree with the rest, today was fantastic and if Kean can't build on this now then he never will. Hopefully the players will get roared on against Stoke and we could just get out of this yet.

Is 2 games unbeaten his equal best record?

How many times have we beaten Man Utd in your life time? I am 30 and it has happened twice in the last 49 years now. I apologise for calling everyone muppets that is a little insulting but I am sure you have been called worse in your time! It just depresses me that because of moaning and booing our club has been tarred with so much negativity of late. If Venkys do sign four players and keep our core then I really think we can stay up still. I do naturally get carried away by my passion for the club, I just want to remain positive and I may contradict myself at times which I am sure we are all guilty of.

IF ? There is NO money other than what we sell players for and even then Venkys will cream some of it off.

Jim, our club used to be labelled "hoofball merchants", "negative" and "a rugby team".
This is because we were winning by playing as a team greater than the sum of other clubs ridiculously assembled parts. I hope we get such negativity in the future, it'll mean we are doing well.
To be honest, the booing is depressing. You have to question what choice fans have though? The majority knew it was a poor appointment and we were lucky to survive last year, this year has been worse.
Having said that, if we scrape the points together to survive then Kean will have to be applauded. Through a tough time and a steep learning curve he'll have stood tall under pressure and lead a miraculous escape. He will still be an abhorrent human being but a slightly better manager.
Can't say fairer than that can we?

Well I dont think that we are directing our anger at the right bloke he just tries to make things sound better than they are and to be as positive as possible because he knows what a privileged position he is in. To say he is an abhorrent human being is well OTT. I dont blame him I blame Venkys for not putting their money where their mouth is. Now is the perfect time to answer their critics as we are fast approaching transfer activity.
If you want to boo do it on the half time whistle, the final whistle and outside the ground whenever you want. Dont do it whilst the players are trying to find their rhythm on the pitch. It makes every little touch on the ball that much harder for the players and under that much intense scrutiny anyone would crack. We need it to be fortress Ewood again. Over the last 10 years many teams have found it very difficult to get points off us at home we need to be resolute for the remainder of the season whoever is in charge and be cheering the lads on.

Jim, my decision on him being abhorrent has nothing to do with football.
Talking of the football, his record is still woeful and the fans have more passion than Kean will ever have. Sometimes it spills over, agreed not ideal for the team, but it's going to happen. To,counter your point, the team were playing terribly prior to any unrest in the crowd!
