KEEP THE BLUE FLAG FLYING HIGH.

On our way now into deep, dark, dingle land!!

I live close to Dingle land, they are almost all Dingle fans, a defeat today and I wont be going to the pub,so it would be a takeaway meal, windows and curtains closed, mobile turned off bottle of wine, kick the dog and sulk !!!!!

Now if we win, pub, good afternoon out celebrating, have a pub meal, then home to watch MOD 2 and gloat again!!

I echo what Dunny says in that I hope we beat them but they stay up cause it would be good to have this derby to look forward to. If they go down, they wont be coming back anytime soon that's for sure.

My oppinion of Cumbria has just gone down a notch - EVERY pub is showing the Carlisle-Southampton JP Trophy final (which overlaps) instead of us. Talk about warped sense of priorities.

Fortunately have found a way of watching the game - so come on rovers let's hammer them. I've a feeling it'll be a long time before we play them again, in the league at any rate.

The team that keeps it's head today will have a massive advantage. The pressure on the Dingles is massive. We could do with another Ball type ridiculous " I'll run the bath water" type tackle. Difficult decisions to be made by Big Sam, could be won and lost on team selection. Come on Rovers.

Roberts starts instead of Nico and Givet in for Andrews who isnt in the 18. Pedersen central midfield, with Olsson and Diouf on wings.

You get this on the text? I can't find team news anywhere yet.

Not a bad tean. Would have had Kalinic in for Roberts, as I've a feeling that he'll get lots of chances vs a shakey Burnley defence. I'd also have had Emerton in, in the centre, but I guess he's been a bit off form, and it's great that we can leave players out when they aren't in form. Much happier seeing Olsson at left mid (where I think he's very good) as oppose to left back (which I always think is risky.)

Roberts is better suited to the 'big lump upfront' style of striker Allardyce seems to love. Better for Kalinic to come off the bench later on in the game.

If that's the team I am ok with it, Givet back in defense will mean three vets to help out Jones and he's better defensively than Ollson, although not as good going forward. Hopefully the trio of Dunn, Diouf and Ollson will generate enough creativity to compensate for Roberts over Kalinic. I think Niko might have started if Dunn hadn't? Just a guess. Feels like Sam doesn't want to lose this first and foremost, and can do enough to pinch a win.

Looking at the bench we've a heck of a lot of good options as well. Emerton can come on and add a lot of energy to the midfield, and with Junior, Kalinic AND Di Santo on the bench if - God forbid - we are trailing to the dingles - we have a lot of attacking options to bring on, all offering something different, which could really hurt the dingles.

Wish Robbo was fit though.

Yet, more often than not, it works better the other way around. Roberts is a more effective sub than starter.

True, he's always better as a sub. Like I said Sam's had some hard decisions to make, let's hope he's got them right.

I suppose it's quite an attacking team to say it 4-5-1. Dunn and Pedersen capable of breaking from central areas and with Olsson playing further forward.
