[bazza]

Co-commentator on Radio Lancs is Don Mackay. Still talking sense

[Balwer]

Sounds like it could go either way at this point. Will be interesting to see when/if Sam brings on the experienced players.

[Hughesy]

Anyone watching the game??

Who was playing and who scored?

[Alan75]

Who was playing and who scored?

mainly youth team, scorers Marrow and Lowe.

Spit played for 60 min.

[Balwer]

Down 1-0. Ouch.

[bazza]

The Phantom of the Opera scores with a free header, unmarked.

[rover6]

Pathetic selection by Allardyce.

Villaneuva on the right? Mokoena and Tugay.

Just stupid, stupid.

Just says to me where the FA cup fits into his priorities. With the potential for extra time and penalties we need fit, uninjured players for the weekend.

[LeChuck]

I wonder if Allardyce would have gone with a stronger team if we'd got a better draw than Chelsea? Let's be honest, we'd have very little chance of going through the next round anyway.

[Kremmin]

Yep. Be nice to win but not too bothered. But lose to Hull on Sunday and that's one more team we won't catch.

[rover6]

No because the team in the original tie was equally pathetic.

How anyone can play Villaneuva on the right wing is beyond my comprehension. Asking for defeat.

[Tom]

Just shows to me big Sam thinks the risks of any injuries outweighs the pro's of a cup run.

I think you're confusing Sam with a man who gives a damn about the cup this year.

[bazza]

Villanueva and Treacy replaced by Warnock and RSC

[Balwer]

4-3-3?

Warnock and Roque on for Treacy and Carlos.

[Kremmin]

Hmmm ... now this is confusing

Ditto my last post. Chelsea or not, and much as I would love a day out at Wembley, the FA cup isn't the most important thing for Blackburn Rovers FC at this moment in time.

Careful, you may get slated for that viewpoint Jisty!

Though i have to say i totally agree.

[onlyoneDuff]

with the way things are at the club at the moment, I would think the TV and attendance money would have been useful...but more importantly, losing to Coventry going out of the Cup bother me aquite a bit as a supporter

[Iceman]

We still have loads of opportunities to play fa cup games every season, but premiership football you cant say the same.

Not guarantees the Chelsea game would be televised anyway. And with the greatest of respect to our fans on here the FA cup not been supported greatly this season - even at home.

The game isn't over yet, so I'll be careful with my words but whilst it would be nice to win tonight it isn't the end of the world if we don't.
