Blackburn - (H)

[KVetch]

I'm going to post the match day threads as long as they can keep a win streak going. If you don't mind, someone else can take over when they don't win. Blackburns away form is the worst in the Championship in the last 5 games. 2 draws and 3 losses. They've drawn their last 3 matches overall.

They have an FA Cup Tuesday night home to Newcastle. Their fans are worried about a relegation battle, but they are square with us in the table. 39 points and a -12 goal difference.

That heading is a bit misleading!
Yes, Blackburn are away , but it's our home game .

What he probably meant was that Blackburn would be blown away.

I suggest we change it then: Blackburn - Out to Lunch.

I feel it will be a 12 matches winning streak.

I was looking at Blackburns away record. And for the record no one has ever accused me of being a genius. We should have everything going in our favor, extra rest, an excited crowd. They fans want to see Ronald in action.

Nice of you to offer , but I'll pass on that one

How do you know for sure I'm not Elizabeth Hurley?

Blackburn are having a go at Newcastle. Hopefully the extra 30 minutes helps us. Szmodics is still in the game. So they get 3 days of rest and have to travel.

Improves our chances slightly. Blackburn, who played very well as it happens, had to battle for a tough 120 minutes before losing on penalties. They must be feeling a bit down after that and we'll have had a lot more breathing space than them. But are we savvy enough to take advantage?

 

[CroJack]

It was a 120-minute game and they lost it on penalties. They must be mentally devastated.

The 5 o’clock shadow breaks the mystique - add to that the lack of high beams

Rovers are advertising for a new Head of Performance ... let's hope they show up without one on Saturday.

 

[CroJack]

Predictions? I say 3:1

 

[ivoralljack]

It's 2-1 for me and I hope we see a continuance of our first half form last week.

 

[Behindthegoal]

4-2 for me. 3-0 at halftime

 

[The Blobster]

1-1 for me , it's a long time since we had 2 good performances on the trot !

 

[Yankee_Jack]

3-0

We are going to smash them. 100%. The football we played in the first half against Sunderland is obviously the football Williams wants us to play.
