Sorry, ads for the blues, but cooked Christmas dinner, few wines, wanted to start to discuss tomorrows game.....Telly sh*te since Eric passed, as long as Dunny hasn't drunk as much as me, I am optimistic.

Same starting 11 as Sat? Really want us to push on, Rhodes to score at least two!

[Majiball]

Same starting 11 is the right way to go provided they are all fit.

I'll be predicting a draw again maybe a defeat as it's served me well the last two matches.

Rovers 2 - 2 Sheff Weds

[chaddyrovers]

Same team apart from Rochina in for Dunn and King for Taylor.

going for 3 nil win. Rhodes with 2 and Hanley with the other.

[Gav]

Rovers have to win this one, Wednesday are in turmoil at the moment losing at home to Bournemouth last time out.

Rover 2 Wednesday 0

[Mike Graham]

Hope it goes ahead. Heavy fog forecast.

Plus I'm sure as I can be that their interim Manager has never been impressive wherever he's taken over as caretaker.

Here's one for those who go to the bookies: If Charlton win at lunchtime; Doncaster & we both win in 3.00 kick-offs and QPR beat Forest by 5 goals in the 7.30 kick-off, we'll be up to 7th!

What odds on that?

[arbitro]

I think Wednesday will be similar to Millwall in that they are a big, physical side who generally tend to be 'ugly' and can use spoiling tactics. That said the conditions won't be as much as a leveller so I expect us to keep the winning run going.

[Bucksrover]

Just about to set off for blackburn.

I say it every time but hoping for cairney centre mid rather than williams.

Same team as saturday would do me. With king and gestede coming on with a decent amount of time to make an impact

[Proudtobeblue&white]

I hope it's not as quiet as this at the game!

[JAL]

Lets see a few more names on the score sheet for Rovers instead of relying on one player.

At this stage Rovers cant afford to miss making home advantage count today no matter how determined and dogged Wednesday maybe.

[Ossydave]

Does anyone know what time the ticket office is open till before the game? Right up till KO?

[Majiball]

when did we last win 3 on the bounce?

we need to start getting decent runs together

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Does anyone know what time the ticket office is open till before the game? Right up till KO?

Aye, 3pm - call centre, so presume it's the same for ticket office

[Stuart]

Dec 2007 / Jan2008, Maj. I posted the three games on a thread somewhere. Sparky's time, so we are well overdue.

[Majiball]

We haven't won 3 on the bounce since I moved up north?

Time to call the estate agent.

[onlyonejackwalker]

Come on Rovers!!! Can't help feeling this is a very big game if we are serious about pushing for the play offs and beyond. We have a little momentum and must build on it, especially at home.

Rovers 2-1. Lowe and Dann

[Tom]

Not going today but I think it will be comfortable

2-0 one in each half for Rhodes

[Majiball]

I see it took 2 minutes for Gally's call for belief to be answered lets hope they do so on the pitch today.

[FGS5635]

Blackburn Rovers ‏@OneRovers 1m

ROVERS: Eastwood, Henley, Dann, Hanley, Spurr, Taylor, Lowe, Cairney, Marshall, Gestede, Rhodes.

Hmmmmmmmmm

Change of system and team. Seem a strange one

[SoldierMo]

So now dat probably dunn out for a few weeks with a slight knock

[Ozz]

7-2 Rovers. An epic evening of entertainment.

[incy wincy little spider]

3-1 win.Rhodes Hanley and Gestede from a set piece .

[G Somerset Rover]

We should have played Rochina in for Dunn today. We always play better with the 4-4-1-1 formation.
