Maybe we'll be able to beat Sunderland now! We've always struggled against Bruce's teams, for some odd reason.
There was/is all the talk about Bruce, Kean and AVB's jobs under threat but one manager has slipped under the radar...Owen Coyle. I give it to Bolton they had a rough set of fixtures at the start of the season, but since then they have had a fair amount of chances to prove their worth and have fallen short. Could he be the next man to go?
Lost last 20 of 25 league games!! Crazy stat, how he hasn't even been questioned this season in the papers is beyond me.
Even today Bolton lost 2-0 at Fulham, and never looked like winning, but Kean is under the spotlight for losing 2-1 to WBA.
That is a bit of a surprise (Bruce) i thought that it would of been Kean or Coyle and like mentioned can't understand why he is not mentioned in the rags like Kean
Kean just seems unfireable for some reason. Any other club and the managers gone, but for some reason Blackburn just can't get rid of him, I mean what does he have to do to get fired?
Steve Kean is an odd situation, as part of me takes pity at all the protests and hounding he gets, but then i consider that maybe he's what Roy Hodgson was to us and i trust the Blackburn fans to know their own club. I admire Venkys for sticking to their guns and actually having faith in the manager, but there's no way this can end well. The difference with Blackburn and Bolton is though that Blackburn have actually been playing with some passion, and with a bit more luck would be further up the table. Bolton lack any kind of drive in their team, and lost Elmander (maybe not worth the £11mil they paid for him but he scored some goals last season) and Daniel Sturridge since their good run towards the end of last season, plus Cahill has lost focus after the transfer gossip. Re Sunderland, Ferguson will be disappointed to lose his reserve team. Who is going to buy his old players and loan his young players now?!
i just hope kean is in charge when we play them, we score 8 and then he gets sacked... knowing our lukc they'll sack him the say beofre and put snoppy the dog in and they win... I HATE playing sides who've just changed managers. blackburn is a nonsense and the guys who took on jack walkers inheritance and trust should be shot for sellign to a bunch of ponytailed indian chicken farmers.... my god what on earth were they thinking (other than bryan robson and a big bribe to do it)
Just hope they don't do what they did to Arsenal. Actually no, I take that back. I hope they do because they were still dire in defence and had more goals than shots on target. With our defence I can't see us royally **** up as much as Arsenal did that day. Thinking back to then, how the **** are they level on points to us?
Think Arsenal are doing well mostly because they've got a settled side. Once injuries hit in the period we are in now with loads of games they will start dropping a load of points, like Newcastle have started doing (albeit Newcastle had some tough games in this period)
