into the top corner from 25 yards. Rovers fans began singing and dancing because as RAORES Jersey things stood, their side were on course to survive. That prospect grew brighter when Blackburn scored again six minutes later, Danny Guthrie grabbing his first goal for the club thanks to a excellent work by Sam Gallagher, a deflection off a defender and weak goalkeeping by Daniel Bentley, who allowed the ball to trickle over the line. With so many things going in Rovers’ favour, it was no wonder there was suddenly conviction in the away fans’ chants of “We are staying up”.

The travelling contingent retorted with cries of “We’re going to win 3-0”. Not the most sophisticated tit?for?tat, admittedly, but the soundtrack gave the atmosphere an extra fizz and tension. And Rovers did create chances to make it 3-0. Gallagher, on loan from Southampton, was so committed to Blackburn’s cause that he collided with a goalpost as he http://www.officialpadrestore.com/Alexei_Ramirez_Jersey tried to divert a cross from Elliott Bennett into the net, but his bravery was unrewarded as his shot flew over the bar. Derrick Williams also fired over from close range before Gallagher got another opportunity just before half-time, only to be denied by David Raya. Brentford had been loose in the first half but improved in the second. So, elsewhere, did Forest. Blackburn’s hopes deteriorated further when Lasse Vibe pulled a goal back for Brentford, superbly flicking Harlee Dean’s low cross beyond the reach of David Raya in the Blackburn goal. Blackburn fans were struck dumb. Mowbray clasped his head in his hands. Redknapp completes Birmingham’s great escape with win at Bristol City Read more Brentford continued to attack, intent on ending their own season on a high in front of a home crowd. Blackburn did not surrender even as their chances of survival grew more remote. Craig Conway rocketed a penalty into the net after being fouled by Dean, whose season ended a little earlier than everyone else’s when the referee showed him a red card. Elsewhere, Birmingham’s match ended earlier than expected, too, as the referee blew for http://www.officialmarinershop.com/Ken_Griffey_Jersey full-time prematurely, at least if the fourth official had been correct when indicating the amount of time that would be added on. That was just another irritating quirk on a sorry day for Rovers, to be filed alongside the fact that Newcastle United were confirmed as champions: Rovers did the double over them this season. So Blackburn ended with a two-goal win that took Mowbray’s haul since replacing the sacked Owen Coyle to 22 points from 15 matches. If they had gained points at that rate all season they would have finished in the top half. But Rovers Kyle Seager Youth Jersey got their act together too late. Their next performance will be in League One
