Blackburn Rovers was knocked out of the FA Cup after losing against Liverpool in the 2nd leg which was played on April 8 at Ewood Park and a solo goal from Coutinho was enough for Liverpool to knockout the Championship League club.
Defeating Liverpool was one of the accomplishments that the 24 year old centre-back of Blackburn Rovers, Corry Evans was hoping to make but it did not happen as Liverpool won by the minimum margin with a scoreboard of 1-0.
Corry Evans still has another goal in mind that he wants to reach with Blackburn Rovers and it’s to earn a promotion spot back to the Premier League but this is also far-fetched as his club is positioned way too far away from the playoff positions and taking into consideration that the league has less 5 matches to be played, Blackburn Rovers mathematically cannot reach a promotion spot to the Premier League.
‘’We’re wanting to get promotion, be it automatic or through the play-offs; that’s our goal,’ Evans told rovers.co.ukIt’s really everyone’s goal in this division because anyone can beat anyone. But I think the experience we had as a team last year gelled us well. We know our style and we know the way we want to play. Hopefully we can put that into good practice this year.’’ Corry Evans of Blackburn Rovers said as he announced the goals that he and his team have for this season. Read more »
Corry Evans says that he is left impressed with the impact made by Blackburn Rovers’ new signing, Jay Spearing.
The Bolton Wanderers midfielder has moved to Ewood Park on a short-term loan spell in order to get first team football. He may have featured in 27 matches so far this season, butSpearing has come in to partner Evans in the centre of midfield. After being in contention for a play-off spot only a few months ago, Blackburn Rovers have slipped down the table due to poor form. Having had just one win in the last five matches, Blackburn are currently outside the top ten.
Evans says thatSpearing has taken no time to settle into the midfield. Further, the fitness levels shown by the former Liverpool midfielder are so good that it feels likeSpearing has been part of this group of players since the start of the season. Since Spearing left Bolton, the club has been able to climb out of relegation trouble. They have been able to establish a 10 point buffer between them and the relegation zone. Evans will be hoping that the presence of Spearing lifts the former to the club. Further inconsistency from Blackburn continued after a 1-0 loss to Watford. Read more »
Hull City manager Steve Bruce was not happy with the way referee Chris Foy did not send off Gary Cahill for his second yellow card. Chelsea took on Hull at Stamford Bridge and they managed to win the game comfortably 2-0.
The task of three points for the West Londoners was made a little easy in the second half after the referee sent off Hull’s Tom Huddlestone with a second yellow card. His two rash challenges meant that Hull were not able to put up much of a fight in the closing moments of the game. Bruce reckons that Chelsea should have also been reduced to 10 men.
Bruce has recalled the incident in the second half when Cahill appeared to simulate a challenge in order to earn a penalty. Neither a penalty nor a booking was given and this turned out to be a crucial moment in the match. Read more »

The Northern Ireland are in top place now for the qualifying table of Euro 2016. Evans believes that Northern Ireland have the full potential to make it to the finals of European Championship. What he believes is that Northern Ireland have full chance to do it right. Despite, no big names in the group the nations are good but in no match to France, Spain and Germany.
The times are changing and from the group two are sure to come into the top. All the group members have the incentive to perform well. It will be a big thing to be at the Euros. Rowers Championship clash is going to take place at Ipswich Town. Tickets have been sold for the big match and more people are joining in before the tickets get sold out completely.
Tickets are allotted to Rovers for Brighton. Contributions of Corry Evans do not go waste. The team members and managers both realize their importance. Evans has great responsibility on his shoulders which he has to fulfill. At Fulham the responsibility by Evans was shared. Evans showcased brilliant performance by 1-0 win.
