[Archived] Rovers versus Manchester City, 25th April 8pm

[rebelmswar]

3 points to Rovers tonight.

I'm going for a spectacular 2-1 win. If Keith Andrews plays, he will score the winner, top corner, goal of the season and keeps us up. Keith Andrews will save Blackburn.

I think i've been in the sun too long.

Few pregame pints too?

[dring1]

If the fans say this is a bonus match how are the players expected to be up for it. Anyone thinking Bolton is going to be easy is also deluded

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Tonight is a MUST WIN game just like all the other remaining fixtures.

If we win tonight, bolton, wham and wolves....we're pushing for a top half finish

Wrong use of 'must win'. Must win means must win. If we lost today, does it mean that it's over? No. But if we lose against Wolves needing to win, is that must win? Yes.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

It's a must win if we want to get 3 points tonight

[Mattyblue]

We've had about 10 'must win' games in a row and won zero.

PNE are in the midst of an ACTUAL 'must win game'- and they aint doing it!

[dazmaz]

my team to play tonight would be:- Robinson; Salgado, Samba, Jones, Givet; Hoilett, J Jones, Dunn, Pedersen, Olsson; Kalinic.

Subs:- Bunn, Hanley, Emerton, M.Diouf, Roberts, Benjani, Ruben.

I hope we will win today. I just hope we can get the first goal just hang on.

City Will fart their way through that midfield, the blind school would put up more of a fight.

We must play Both Jones in CM, Hanley in for Dunn and have him next to Samba and swap Pedersen for Rochina

Robinson

Salgado, Samba, Hanley, Givet

J Jones, P Jones

Hoilett Olsson

Rochina

Kalinic

EDIT: for some reason the site is aligning to the left :S, formation would be a 4-2-2-1-1

That must truely suck.

Eat lots of cheese, Navy remedy for slack bowels.

Don't strain too much when singing.

Must be a big red meat eater.

Still going to the game tonight as well, that's dedication.

I do fear for the fans behind you if we score.

[AJW]

i think we need to play givet and samba in the middle of defense with ollsson and salgado at full backs a 5 man midfield with hoillet 2 jones's perdersen and dunn and loan striker will be roberts not the mist exciting or attacking of line-ups ,but we must match up to city physically ,a point under the cicumstances would be a good result

[Tooogs]

I'd go with this formation/selection. Plenty of steel in the centre of midfield and putting Emerton at right back might help Salgado sleep tonight. Plenty of pace out on the wings and creativity with in the middle in Rochina. And our most clinical striker who is one of the only strikers who can link up play.

-------------Robinson-----------

Emerton---Samba---PJones---Givet

--------N'Zonzi---JJones--------

Hoilett------Rochina------Olsson

-------------Kalinic------------

Like it, like it.

With a very direct approach.

[Tooogs]

Just noticed N'Zonzi is still suspended... who could take his place in THAT lineup? It sure as hell wouldn't be Dunn.

would have yo be Hanley and put P Jones next to J Jones

[cravenblue]

If julie is fit, would the thinker be mad enough to pick him?

Wouldn't put it past him.

[philipl]

Let's just hope Kean's selection doesn't lose it for us before a ball is kicked. I suspect it might.

So what team would you pick then Philip? or have you already told us and I've missed it?

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

There is no team in the world that everybody would agree on, so he's just trying to look impressive.

[Brfcrule1]

I need a big favour from all of you going tonight if the deluded one decides to pitch up a toothless front 2 & leaves Kalinic out tonight make sure you sing Kalinic's name we need our top scorer on the pitch to fire us up to safety btw on another subject Highbury blue where are you watching the game tonight I will be in the junction in highbury watching in 3d if you fancy meeting up soz but could not find an appropriate thread to put this in

[philipl]

If julie is fit, would the thinker be mad enough to pick him?

That is the suicide selection I would avoid.

[Sysagent]

Team I would pick...

Robinson

Salgado, Samba, Jones the Younger, Givet

Hoilett (is he available?), Dunn, Jones the Senior, Olsson

Mame Biram Diouf, Nikola Kalinić

Forecast a 2 - 1 win to the Rovers

Cringers Fossed!!!!

[Gav]

That is the suicide selection I would avoid.

...and your team would be?
