[Archived] Rovers v West Brom

[Nafe_rovers]

what with those prices?

Think what the home attendance is before we start calling the away one!!

Anyway 2-0 to Rovers - Kalinic & Roberts

Interesting to see a few team selections without Mame Diouf in them. Personally would try and have him in starting line up as he seems to create problems (with this pace).

Difficult one though as Kalinic and Cruz could be a decent partnership.

Good to have options though.

Agreed. I would probably go with Roque and MB Diouf as the front 2, bring Niko on later. Roque has the power, Diouf the pace - good combo IMO.

important game today, and i expect us to win it.

im quite interested in finding out, what the new jones fella is about, so hopefully he will start.

[my_name_is_Earl]

It's going to be a very tight game today. West brom won a cracking game last week and will be well up for this. Keep it tight and I think we'll win 1-0.

Roque and Jones both have to start for me.

[Dan]

Optimistic, for the first time in a while. This has probably jinxed us now!! I hope we can attack like we did in our last league game at Ewood. If we can I can see us scoring a few goals today. 3-2 Roque hattrick, with Olsson and Hoilett providing after some great wing play.

ALBION have sold around 1,400 tickets for tomorrow's televised trip to Blackburn (ko 4pm).

The club have now stopped selling seats for the Ewood Park fixture but supporters yet to buy a ticket will be able to pay on the gate in Lancashire.

The Baggies have been granted a 2,800 allocation, priced £10 adults and £5 over-65s/under-15s.

This is from the WBA website, but I think this is pretty poor considering the ticket prices!

Ticket prices affect home fans a lot more - you have to factor in petrol/train costs, food etc when you go to an away game so a saving on the ticket price makes much less of a difference.

Apart from a close win v a poor bpool team Wba have been dire of late. We must capitalize

Yup. I can't wait to see Kalinic & Cruz up front, but Mame gets the nod after his recent form.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Please can we win, we never make it easy.

A win would be just great.

We'll either come out confident and grope them 2/3-0 or fumble nervously and draw 2-2 or lose 2-1.

I am really positive about today. My Allardycian hangover has all but gone. Waiting in anticipation for the team sheet. Long may this happy footbally feeling continue.

By the way. This is my first post on here. I've been following the forum for quite a while now and have recently started feeling a little left out. So I've joined in. I don't think my posts will ever win any awards for amazing content, but my view is a view.

Steve Keans Blue and White Army.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

We need a win today, a bit of style on show would be nice but we must come away with something today by hook or by crook. Come On Rovers !

[Andy3809]

Nothing excites me more then seeing a new signing in the flesh down at ewood. Really hope jones plays and is the man we've been crying out for in the middle. Going for a 2 nil with samba and hoilett the goalscorers.

[jimw1988]

I think its hard to pick our strikeforce today(not that thats a bad thing)

I would Like to see Santa and Niko, Think they would complement each other well!

Mame looks good at the moment,works hard

Roberts got some crucial goals before injury and was santas best partner before

Benjanis two goals against the pool courtesy of my big fat greek defender!

tough one for kean!

Still optimistic for the first time in a good few games!(probably lose then)

[John]

If you look at the table closely this is a massive game and could be influential in deciding what type of season we will have.

Also winning on a Sunday gets the week off to a cracking start, here's hoping.

[Stuart]

Probably a bit late to be posting this but apparently there are no trains arriving at Blackburn station from any direction. People are being brought in by bus.

[Bobby G]

Roque and jones start.

[brfc4ever]

ROVERS: Robinson, Salgado, Samba ©, Givet, Olsson, Hoilett, Dunn, Jones, Pedersen, Kalinic, Santa Cruz.

Subs: Bunn (GK), EH Diouf, Nzonzi, Benjani, Roberts, Hanley, MB Diouf.

[LeChuck]

Exciting, well balanced line up. Looking forward to this.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Looking forward to seeing Jones play. Be interesting to see what sort of partnership Santa and Kalinic form too.

Exciting team!

Shame Nelsen failed to recover in time but Givet at centreback fills me with confidence as I think it's his best position.

[budha]

So it's Dunny on the left? Would have probably rather seen Hanley coming to CB and leaving Olsson in the left mid.

[Presty On Tour]

Nelsen injured?

[Guest linganzi]

Nelsen injured?

[modes98]

You'd presume MGP moves back out left

Nelsen out with knee injury
