[Archived] Blackburn Rovers vs. QPR

[Hughesy]

Just watching BBC MOTD kickabout - they spoke to Neil Warnock and he admitted he would field his strongest side possible

[Mercer]

I'm looking forward to seeing a comfortable win by 3 or 4 goals to 1.

FA Cup or not, there is a huge gulf in class (EPL V Championship).

Our lads should be chomping at the bit after Wednesday night.

[Gav]

Wouldn't have gone to this game had Allardyce still been in charge, but we've just been and bought 5 tickets and are looking forward to seeing some of the fringe players staking a claim.

Its going to be a tough game though, QPR started the season off really well playing some good stuff by all accounts.

[because of boxing day]

Does the one rovers online ticket purchase option cease at 11.30 on matchday? I was part way through booking, got kicked off and now can't find anywhere to buy tickets online for todays game.

Just purchased 3 tickets via one rovers online at 12.05.

Was no problem!

Suggest you try again. Good luck.

I don't share your optimism but nevertheless I am looking forward to the game, I think it will be very open

[Majiball]

Is it on the radio anywhere?

[Amo]

I'd go for:

BUNN

SALGADO - HANLEY - SAMBA - GIVET

HOILETT - LINGANZI - PEDERSEN - MORRIS

M. DIOUF - BLACKMAN

[Tom]

I don't share your optimism but nevertheless I am looking forward to the game, I think it will be very open

I'm not sure it's optimism he's posting with, more like setting expectations high and then complaining if we win 1-0.

I think it will be close, a mid table prem team with probably only 3-4 first teamers playing versus a full strength top of the championship team.

Let's not forget Coventry x 2 either.

Edit: My Dad has just bought 2 adult and 1 young adult ticket and only been charged £25, that can't be right

[Miker]

Is it on the radio anywhere?

The site I usually use doesn't seem to be streaming it

[AggyBlue]

Edit: My Dad has just bought 2 adult and 1 young adult ticket and only been charged £25, that can't be right

Adult - 15 YA - 5

Sounds like you've got I adult and 2 YA's

[Tom]

Adult - 15 YA - 5

Sounds like you've got I adult and 2 YA's

That's what I thought but you need a young adult season ticket to get a young adult don't you?

[cn174]

That's what I thought but you need a young adult season ticket to get a young adult don't you?

Yes, or a 16-21 membership.

Anyway don't worry about it - just get in there hehe

[Bobby G]

Debut for Lowe instead of Dunn.

Hanley for Samba. El Hadji for Olsson. Roberts on bench.

[neophox]

Good to see Dunn rested, but no point in resting Olsson though! Better to rest Samba for the premier league matches.

[Amo]

[neophox]

Who is Cotton???

[SamTheShrew]

Samba is blatantly being rested so he isn't cup tied.

fantastic

As well as trying to persuade him to stay at the club, we could also make it more difficult for him to leave by making him cup tied.

stupid decision

[Amo]

Who is Cotton???

16 year-old midfielder.

Samba is blatantly being rested so he isn't cup tied.

Yeah, I was worried this would happen.

[Balwer]

I don't follow QPR closely enough, are they resting any stars or is that a full strength team? Surprised Lowe has seemingly jumped ahead of Goulon/Linganzi and even Doran.

[neophox]

I agree Samba is our best defender, sell him and you got problem. Let him leave in summer if he wants.

[philipl]

Only 6 QPR subs?

[SamTheShrew]

It's all very well saying 'I don't want him to leave' etc, then making it easier for him to do so.

Grow some balls Kean, and don't send out mixed messages

He certainly does not need resting, he has played 1 game since being injured, and needs games to get back into it.

We need to stop rolling over for disgruntled players ffs.

[G Somerset Rover]

Who is Cotton???

Dot's son.

[heysham rover]

Jesus aren't we jumping to conclusions here, samba fresh back from injury may need additional recovery time. Not playing 2 games in 3 days
