Squad3 Jun 2041

Jonathan Clarke breaks a bone — 28 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 28 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad3 Jun 2041

Filippo Alessio has been here 12 seasons

351 appearances across 12 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Squad3 Jun 2041

Lewis Campbell: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Blackburn Rovers have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market3 Jun 2041

Only the photograph left for Dagur Traustason

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Dagur Traustason will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Blackburn Rovers the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Michael Hamilton asks to leave Blackburn Rovers

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad3 Jun 2041

Tempers go at Blackburn Rovers

Josh Acheampong was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad4 Mar 2041

Peter Palmer breaks a bone — 61 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 61 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad4 Mar 2041

16 seasons of Lorenze Mullarkey-Matthews

172 appearances across 16 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Blackburn Rovers know what they have.

Player ratings4 Mar 2041

Michael Hamilton could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.25

Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.25, 0 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Player ratings4 Mar 2041

A defender's afternoon for Sam Alabi

Defensive actions: 28. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Squad4 Mar 2041

Gianmarco Todisco says Blackburn Rovers went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad4 Mar 2041

Mykhaylo Mudryk stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Mykhaylo Mudryk and Blackburn Rovers agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The terraces4 Mar 2041

Blackburn Rovers supporters have found a favourite in Jonathan Clarke

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Jonathan Clarke has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match2 Mar 2041

Jonathan Clarke sends Blackburn Rovers past Everton

It finished 1‑0, and it was Jonathan Clarke’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Blackburn Rovers.

Player ratings4 Mar 2041

The afternoon belonged to Jonathan Clarke

7.78, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Blackburn Rovers had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad14 Jan 2041

A knee injury of the worst kind for Adam Spencer

38 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Blackburn Rovers lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad14 Jan 2041

A fracture rules Paul Dixon out for 61 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Blackburn Rovers will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match12 Jan 2041

No end in sight to Blackburn Rovers's wait for a win

6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Blackburn Rovers has to find a result from somewhere.

Market14 Jan 2041

Joseph Simmons hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Blackburn Rovers can pretend not to have heard.

Squad14 Jan 2041

Tempers go at Blackburn Rovers

Mykhaylo Mudryk was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market14 Jan 2041

Only the photograph left for Simone Albè

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Simone Albè will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Blackburn Rovers the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad14 Jan 2041

Josh Acheampong falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings14 Jan 2041

John Moore runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match12 Jan 2041

Honours even between Blackburn Rovers and Burnley

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.
