Crutches and brace off today buzzing !!
Shane Duffy was delighted to return to first team action at the weekend with a 45-minute run out against Accrington Stanley: http://www.rovers.co.uk/news/article...y-2545584.aspx
I think Accrington Stanley must be one of the highest ranked words on this site.
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
You're thinking of Termonbarry Alberts.
Brilliant goal line clearance from Duffy just now to save Blackburn from a defeat at home to Bolton. Brilliant defending when Heskey looked like he had to score (no predictable jokes please ). I only flicked it on while ago but apparently his been a big threat in the other box as well from set pieces.
Saw it too, very smart piece of work.
Scored to give Blackburn the lead against QPR tonight. Match ended 2-2.
On telly at the moment, Blackburn playing Burnley. Just started.
They'll be wondering how they lost that. The commentators were saying repeatedly what a threat Duffy is in the opposition box, that he gets his head on more balls than any other player. He had two chances to equalise near the end, one he snatched at to put over the bar, the other a decent header but too close to the keeper who tipped over.
He had a really horrible moment just before half time, making a complete hash of trying the chest the ball down, then playing a near hospital pass back towards goal. His full back rescued the situation. Looks a no-nonsense albeit a bit clumsy CB, the kind we already have quite a few of. I'd like to see him play his way into the squad though.

Header near the end. Think Blackburn's game against Leeds is on Sky too.
End Apartheid Now! One Team in Ireland!
Clean sheet in a 2-0 win at Elland Road tonight. Anybody watch it?
Evans out!
Was looking through whoscored there recently and noticed that Duffy was second only to Alan Judge in their Championship player ratings.

I then had a look into Duffy's profile on their site to see what his form was like and it says he was man of the match in five of his last ten games.

Might get a chance to impress in the friendlies?

I doubt he has any chance of making the squad for France, barring injury to a key player of course, but I think he should be part of the pre-tournament squads as it's almost certain O'Shea will retire and Duffy has every chance to feature in the next campaign. He needs to be bedded in, succession planning and all that.
Seems to me the team/squad is getting stronger and stronger.
It is not so much a problem of who to pick but who to leave out.
And there is still a generous 150-1 on offer to win the Euros
That site's ratings formula loves him. He was the no.1 rated Championship player in 2013/14 whilst on loan at relegated Yeovil. And even during last year's injury-hit campaign with Blackburn, he still managed to be the 12th highest-rated player in the championship. His high number of aerial duals won and clearances made lead to him earning high ratings, this is despite him having a low tackles per game rate and also a low passing accuracy percentage. Haven't seen him play at all recently but I always liked him the few times I seen him play for Blackburn and Everton.
