Another weeks gone by, and Rovers are still in a me s.There was much said about it being a good time to face Newcastle and Arsenal, yet two defeats would suggest otherwise.In fairne s, we created enough chances to
Jehu Chesson Jersey win the game against the Toon, but Steve Keans post-match comments strangely backed up by the local paper suggesting we deserved to win were wide of the mark. Creating chances is one thing, sticking them away is another and if you dont do that, you get exactly what you deserve nothing.As for the Arsenal game shocking. Losing to the
Ryan Glasgow Jersey Gunners is no disgrace surrendering without a fight is. Factor in Gael Givets stupid red card at 3-1 down, and this was a day to forget.
Somehow, all is not lost. Dont get me wrong, Rovers are poor, but avoiding the drop is still po sible. The teams battling for survival Wigan, Wolves, Bolton and QPR are
Taylor Lewan Jersey also poor and with all four still to play, Rovers have a chance slim as it is.Next up at Ewood are QPR a must-win game if ever there was one. For that to happen, we need our best team on the pitch and, like it or not, that means Chris Samba must play.Kean admitted earlier in the week he had no idea if Samba would be involved this weekend a ridiculous state of affairs. Support for Sambas recent stance has been mixed, with some saying he should get on with his job, while others wereglad he spoke out against the owners and the manager.With the transfer
Tom Harmon Jersey window now shut, Samba simply has to play. Hes made it clear hes not 100% committed to the club under the current regime but, for now, theres nowhere he can go.Having made his point, Samba should now knuckle down and focus on trying to help Rovers stay up. Failure to do so would alienate those who sympathised with his position and potentially put off potential buyers in the summer.He can even
Eli Brooks Jersey make it clear his views on the owners and Kean havent changed, but theres a job to do, and Samba now has to get on and do it. Once the seasons over, he should then
Maurice Hurst Jersey be allowed to leave. No-one loses face.With Ryan Nelsen being allowed to leave yet another daft decision and Givet suspended for three games, Rovers centre-half options are Scott Dann and Grant Hanley. With Samba partnering, either youd have a little more confidence together, theyre an accident waiting to happen.No idea whether hell play? Get it sorted and fast.
