@JustinCase0110 your a good Stats Finder guy, only if it doesn't take too much out of your time, don't suppose you can find a factual sources for Record Scorers and Appearances for Blackburn. I'm getting different results everywhere I look and they quite significantly different too. Transfer Market has David Dunn, but other sites have a fair few listed above him in regards to appearances. Like said only if you have the time spare
A comfortable win at Villa Park and almost a win at the Bridge after that. After your previous poor run of games, these results needed to come and they did. You must be in the safe zone now with 10 points down and only 4 left to play.
I appreciate your confidence, thanks mate. You shouldn't use transfermarkt for this, they are not too good with elderly records. I always try to use the official website, but looking at Blackburn's, I can't find any mentioning of these things.
I know Wikipedia isn't a great source with how it's put together and open for editing by the masses. But sometimes the masses / the fans are the ones with the best information. Looking at this page List of Blackburn Rovers F.C. players - Wikipedia you can sort the players in total appearances and total goals, putting Derek Fazackerley on top with 689 apps and Simon Garner with 194 goals. Shearer third with 130. Obviously I don't know the validity of this, but it's the best I can find, and it's what I'd go with, if it was me.

Thanks, I wouldn't usually use Transfer Market was getting desperate when looking up, was something I had been meaning to re look since I did opening post on story, but thanks anyways, will be going by that Wiki list
7-3, that's not a result you see every day. Too many goals for the scoreboard to even display all Liverpool's scorers... Still, the season is over, and you kept the relegation zone at a distance. Crystal Palace going down, that's funny, in my Rangers save they're doing well in the Europa League, heading towards the knockout stages there. And in your save they are relegated to the Championship.
The Bialek fellow looks like he was a quality signing, also bagging a hattrick there. Obviously outshine by the veteran Ben Yedder, but I'll bet that he'll increase his number of starts in the new season and snatch a bigger role in the team. With an impotent attack in the fall, these two signings surely worked out wonders for you.
I'm quite intrigued about what will happen next for Marcus Spencer and Blackburn Rovers.

I was meant to add that in regarding Liverpool, other scorer was Rodrygo. They had a quality team so now idea why they performed so badly overall through the season. The pace they had in attack just destroyed me and seemes like everytime I pulled a goal back they added 2 more. Could've been a Rugby score and I had plenty of chances as did they, crazy game.

Sorry, I'm Danish, so you may need to elaborate what a Rugby score is... Honestly, I have no idea ๐
Good signings, I think. You started a bit slowly, and I see why the fans almost lost their patience. But Solanke and Chukwuemeka could be a deadly duo for you. The latter has played for Atlรฉtico Madrid through the most of my Rangers save, so signing him for Blackburn has to be an arrival to bring a little buzz.

Well it's very common for both sides to end the game with double figures if they don't it's usually cause one side is very poor and they've been annihilated. Without being too stereotypical I'm genuinely surprised we don't have good Rugby Teams from Denmark and surrounding Nations, traditionally your big and bulky and could probably succeed in the sport if there was interest, assuming for the lack of involvement it's not. Did see Denmark has a team from a search but haven't played against any of the main International sides

Thanks. I don't know. I suppose we were among the first nations to embrace football, having DBU as the second oldest football association in the world. We also have a few old football clubs and were among the best nations in the early days, for instance beating the two French teams 9-0 and 17-1 at the 1908 Olympics. We also inherited England's stubbornness in regards to the use of professionals though, so until the 1970's we didn't use a player in our national team, if he played abroad. Hence why we didn't participate in any world cups before 1986.
A bit off topic maybe. But Rugby or Cricket has never really been adopted here. And it gets NO media coverage whatsoever. Football certainly takes the most of the headlines here, whilst handball, badminton, cycling and tennis are probably next in line in terms of media coverage. Cycling may rival football in the three weeks of the Tour de France each summer. And I would guess that handball and badminton are "our rugby/cricket" not being covered that much in England. If that's true, I suppose it's ironic that badminton's main tournament (apart from the olympics) is the "All England" tournament. As far as I know, I don't watch it often.
Awful to concede 5 in 19. That also casts quite a damning verdict on your defence with 13 goals conceded across these 4 games.
Your position in the table is still good, but you would probably have wanted that win at Turf Moor. Awful to lose the win so late in "El Lanclasico".

I feel the Chelsea result was an error on my behalf. I had set up a few team sheets beginning of season and formation I used was 451 flat. I also used this against Brentford previously and what I hadn't realised was I had set up defence on 'Constant Pressure' and this left defence very fatigued, I didn't twig on this previously as I had put it down to playing with 10.men for majority of the match and being bombarded.. however even after freshening up my defence in Chelsea game they tired quickly and once they found a way through my defence was non existent, soon as restarted and attacked lost ball and they were gone or should I say Spinazola was gone.
I have since changed this tactic so hopefully that'll prevent a disaster like that again
22 goals and 22 allowed. At least the team is consistent lol. Midtable is a good position to be in at this point of the season. It might be too early to think about Europe but the position in the table is still very much possible if you can fix the defense.
Decided to make my frustrations at the game into the story. I will start a different thread at some point for the continuation
