[Archived] Blackburn Rovers Football Club v Bristol City Football Club – Saturday 2nd February 2013 – Kick Off – 3pm

[Mike Graham]

I'm missing this one, going shopping.

[Amo]

We suddenly have no options for the right wing, I'd be tempted to put CKR there but he looked much better up front with Rhodes

Looks like it will be Pedersen on the right and Marcus Olsson on the left for the foreseeable then

Likely team

Kean

Orr Dann Hanley Olsson

Pedersen Lowe Murphy Olsson 2

Rhodes CKR

Usai, Goodwillie, Kane, Gomes, Nunes, Dunn, R Hanley?

Thanks Venkys

And people thought our squad was poor beforehand?

Do you change a winning team?

I'd be tempted not too but Rochina going means one will have to come in. The question is do you move MGP to RW, Lowe to CM with Orr coming in or move fewer pieces and say move CKR wide with Gomes or Goodwillie supporting Rhodes? You could even just slot Orr in at RW or in CM as he started his career there.

I would like to Gomes play as at the start or theseason he looked good enough, I'm surprised he hasn't played more.

I think I'd try:

Kean

Lowe Dann Haley Olsson

CKR Murphy Peds Olsson

Gomes Rhodes

It keeps the pace out wide and hopefully Gomes can link up with rhodes.

[Tom]

Prefer your team I just thought he'd revert to the team for the Brighton game but with Orr in place of Kane

Was it Rochina that came on for King last week?

[iacok]

For some reason am going tomorrow with my brother and mate. Decided to give it one more go. Dressers Arms then Dox and *uck then hopefully something to cheer. Not full of confidence though!

Aye Rochina came on for King. I just feel that our best chance of getting the good win we need now tomorrow will be achieved by not moving too many players around. Also we kept possesion well against derby and I feel this is our best bet for a win tomorrow. Wasn't happy with the brighton game as I felt we approached more akin to being the away team. If we are build some good form we need to make changes unless they are required as key to that will be a steady 11.

[tomphil]

Sick of making optimistic forecasts so i'll go...

Rovers 1 BCFC 3 with a hardworking, spirited display by Rovers only to be undone again by the usual defensive lapses and our inabitlity to create anything up front being our undoing. Rhodes to get his customary 1 goal from 1 chance !

13,253 (350 from Bristol)

[neophox]

This team will probably start tomorrow:

Kean

Lowe, Dann, Hanley, Olsson

Kazim, Pedersen, Murphy, Olsson Markus

Gomes, Rhodes

Bench:

Sendomierski/Usai

Goodwillie

Nunes

Dunn

Givet

Orr

Kane

But I would prefer to have Lowe at right back.

[AdamRochina]

who the hell is timothy payne? i keep hearing he is starting tomorrow along with raheem henley and david goodwillie

[only2garners]

who the hell is timothy payne?

Young New Zealand lad, just 19. Signed this time last year and has been in the reserve squad. He has squad number 41.

[Amo]

Any relation to Ser Ilyn?

[J*B]

What a @#/? squad we have.

[DavidMailsTightPerm]

We suddenly have no options for the right wing,

Last match we started with King - a left winger, and ended up with Rochina a left footed forward. Don't sound any worse of to me (especially when Simon was strangely not played)

[JAL]

Anyone wanting to go and pay money to watch Bradley Orr play football needs their head seriously testing.

I'll be going to watch and support my team. If Orr is playing I'll be hoping he provides a crossed assist, as he has been known to do.

Good luck but dont be surprised if you find yourself alone.

I will be as I'm going with my Dad.

[USABlue]

We just beat them easily in the cup so our overpaid shower will think all they have to do is turn up. Bristol with new manager in tow will be a totally different proposition Stead to bag a brace 1-2.

[JAL]

I will be as I'm going with my Dad.

Good luck to both of you then.

Bowyer and McPhilips did these with plenty to spare so it should be interesting to see how Appleton fares against what are a very poor championship team.

[Derbyshire Blue]

Didn't we play Bristol City's reserves in the cup?

No

[Oklahoma]

Tomorrow will definetly be a "new" game after all the departures. After all, Rochina and Formica were a big part in the team earlier this season and we only got a new player, probably for the reserve team.

I would put this team:

Kean

Orr Dann Hanley Olsson

CKR Murphy Lowe Nunes

Gomes Rhodes

But it will probably be something like this:

Kean

Orr Dann Hanley Olsson

Pedersen Murphy Lowe Olsson

CKR Rhodes

[Mike E]

Very poor but on a better run of form than us the last couple games. Which makes us poorer. I'm going, was confident and want to be confident again.

But doubt it :/

[Salgado Is A Hero]

Is Nunes back?

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Sadly, after a couple of drinks on a Friday, I get optimistic and start looking forward to the game. Then I go to sleep & wake up to reality....hard earned 1-0, 2-1 win?
