Mr. Roderick,

I personally do think you have a serious mental problem in differentiating the clubs on blog... this is a blog for blackburn rovers fans like me, (all the way from Asia...) so please stop writing about your distasteful derby f.c. related news in here... you should not mistaken for premier league football with... god knows where derby is now... so ya, get a life and buzz off!!!
The Rams fielded Bywater Connolly McEveley (sub Barnes 77 sub Mendy 90) Green Addison Savage Teale Pearson (Pringle 85) Buxton Davies (Commons 68) Moxey

Joke/Stoke (my son calls them that, he's an Arsenal supporter, so from his lofty perch...) had a lucky first goal deflected off Jay McEveley 0-1, then the Rams were more than a match before Pearson headed in the equaliser early in the 2nd half. Jamaican international Ricardo Fuller came on, and scored 6 minutes later, 1-2. Barnesy was stretchered off, and Moxey came on, performing an acrobatic shot in for the equaliser in injury time, 2-2. Next game counts, this was promising, but the injury list worry hasn't gone away just yet, and Barnsey's potential, and sales value, are not improving.

Report on Blackburn's game vs. the Owls follows.

ROVERS: Paul Robinson, Lars Jacobsen, Gael Givet (Morten Gamst Pedersen 46), Steven Nzonzi (Alan Judge 85), Chris Samba, Ryan Nelsen (Zurab Khizanishvili 88), Jason Roberts (Elrio Van Heerden 85), Keith Andrews, Benni McCarthy (Paul Gallagher 46), El-Hadji Diouf (David Hoilett 71), Stephen Warnock (Martin Olsson 87)

SUBS: Jason Brown, Aaron Doran.

WEDNESDAY: Lee Grant, Tommy Spurr, Lewis Buxton, Darren Purse, Marcus Tudgay, Seam McAllister, Leon Clarke (Akpo Sodje 9) (Luke Boden 67), Richard Wood, James O'Connor, Jermaine Johnson (Etienne Esajas 46), Michael Gray (Francis Jeffers 65)

SUBS: Mark Beevers, Frank Simek, Richard O'Donnell,

Rovers looked dominant for a while, and scored as early as the 6th minute. Lee Grant fumbled El-Hadji Diouf’s corner under the challenge of Steven Nzonzi and skipper Ryan Nelsen was left with a tap-in, 0-1. On 21 minutes, the Owls looked out-classed, as Roberts was sent down the right by Diouf’s through ball, and jinked inside, then outside, before hitting a shot into the top corner, 0-2.

Maybe Rovers turned off, maybe the Owls felt they weren't that bad, whatever, as Wednesday began to come through, until Sodje slotted past Robinson after being sent clear by Jermaine Johnson’s through ball, 1-2. Nzonzi won a penalty, but Diouf hit a soft one, and Grant scrambled away both that and the rebound. Tho' Morten Gamst Pedersen hit the cross bar on 50 minutes with a free kick, the second half was much quieter, withy multiple changes, and guess who equalised for the Owls? Ol' Rams' favourite Marcus Tudgay, volleying a ball that came nicely to him. 2-2.

Peterborough visit the Rams next Sat'dy 8th, as reality bites. Posh have beaten Oxford today, 3-0.

Blackburn have their home friendly against Hibernian on Wednesday night, as their season doesn't start until August 15th, home to Man City.
