Nelsen Watch
You’ve got to hand it to us here at the Orange … as soon as we start following Toulon, they turn the corner.
And we appeared to have worked the Oracle with Ryan Nelsen’s Blackburn Rovers (not to be confused with the team at Napier City).
I think we mentioned some of the big upcoming games in our last post (and if we didn’t for the sake of my credibility let’s imagine that I did).
Tottenham figured as a big game … not seriously in the relegation zone but not one of the top tier teams (if you like your alliteration).
The Big Match was at the weekend and Rovers (not the team from Hawke’s Bay) came from a goal down to win 2-1.
That gives them seven points in the last 4 games (a big deal when you’re staring the relegation zone in the face).
Remarkably, Blackburn have now stormed to 14th … albeit only 2 points ahead of 17th.
So, still plenty of interest left in the season with seven games to go.
Check out what a fellow blogger predicted here.
He’ll no doubt be drowning his sorrows down at the Rovers
