Dream Start for BFS; Rovers 3-0 Stoke W/highlights
By: Jimmy | December 21st, 2008
Big Sam’s start to his managerial career at Rovers could not have started better as a brace from Benni Mac and a poached goal bullet from Jason Roberts led the Rovers to almost an assured victory inside the first 27 minutes at Ewood Park on Saturday.
With RSC ruled out, Rovers went with Benni Mac and Jason Roberts at the top together and it payed dividends, with Benni Mac showing class and skill we haven’t seen in quite some time. The pic you see above of the take down of MGP led to Rovers winning the penalty and Benni Mac converting.
It was good to see David Dunn, a decent MGP, a consistent Robbo and a warm welcome for the new gaffer as the game started. Though the second half only had Rovers see some chances go unfinished, it also was a big step for our D to hold on and not collapse and allow in some goals to make it a nervy game. A good strong showing though and though. Highlights below, and bring on Sunderland!
UP THE ROVERS!!

I wonder how true it is that Santa is injured!
Having said that, with Gally doing so well at Plymouth it could be worth getting him back, flog Santa for £20 million. Spend some of that wisely and we could be better off.
I’d be sad to see him go but it’s very likely. McCarthy does better when he’s not around and he and Roberts are best buds, tending to play quite well tobgether, so it wouldn’t be the end of the world.
In other news. What a performance. What an atmosphere. We’ve got out Rovers back!

Oh, oh, oh. Merry Christmas,
To begin with, we have to calm down; it was just a win, 3 points (very important ones) in the beginning of a long and difficult walk to save us from relegation. It was definitely very nice to see BFS having a great start, but now we need to concentrate and win the next game against Sunderland (it won’t be easy) and the other against Man City (I really believe if we win this one, Hughes will be sacked) so we can start breading on our own. Are we capable of achieving the 6 points in the two fixtures left before the end of the year?! Of course we are, as long as we play focussed, and with our head more then with our hearts. Let’s just hope that these lads really eat the grass if needed and give them and to the supporters as well the ingredients for a great new years eve.
I wish everyone a Merry Christmas.
Art et Labore.
