I'm gonna say that they'll demolish us. 3-0 to big club

[Doug]

A match we can win if our manager shapes himself, (there's a first time for everything)

Coyle must re-unite Greer and Mulgrew, with Lowe at RB, (our full back situation is dire).

Centre mids Guthrie or Lenihan or Akpan with Evans and Conway and Bennett wide (we don't have a decent winger).

Gally and Graham up front,

I'll be wrapping up as its a cold one.

Come on Rovers, we need to keep in touch with the pack!!!

[Mike Graham]

Been given a ticket so will attend.

I would not / could not pay.

I hope we win.

I hope you give Coyle plenty of grief !

Sore throat Tyrone :-(

I am giving a lift to two Bolton ST holders as the Grandad wants to take his Grandson to all the NW grounds. I told Andrew he better to Ewood asap before it closes for good

[Tom]

No excuses not to win today.

We'll lose - and make excuses.

I know we don't like Bolton but don't you think that's a bit cruel !

[jim mk2]

Zola's trying to get Brum to play a more passing game than his predecessor and the players are clearly taking time to adjust. They haven't got a bad squad though and they'll click soon. We've always been soft touches for teams on bad runs and Coyle has to get the team in the right frame of mind today - absolutely no excuses.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Any team news ?

[1arC]

Greer in For Marshall, otherwise same as last weeks starting 11

Steele. Greer, Williams, Lowe, Feeney, Graham, Mulgrew, Gallagher, Akpan, Lenihan, Bennett

Subs,

Raya, Stokes, Guthrie, Nyambe, Mahoney, Brown, Conway

[AllRoverAsia]

Brown a defo to come on at 90+2 unless an injury dictates otherwise..I dont mean to Brown

Stokes electronic tag means he will be an unused sub as he may be tempted to go on a run.

Feeney is playing so appearances % share on target.

All normal at Ewood SNAFU

COYB

[chaddyrovers]

I reckon Coyle will play Lenihan at right back with Lowe and Apkan in centre midfield.

Just judging by the warm ups

[MGAndy]

oh dear

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Deary me

[philipl]

0-1

That was quick even by our standards!

[perthblue02]

whoops

oi Senior - has your Mrs got any keepers on her books

[Mike E]

Good start... 0-1

[DE.]

Birmingham nailed on for their first win under Zola today.

Meanwhile, Coyle remains in the safest managerial position in any of the professional leagues.

[RevidgeBlue]

Horrendous keeping from Steele. Had time to come out and get the ball with plenty to spare but hesitated and brought the Brum player down.

[G Somerset Rover]

God we're @#/? rubbish. Oh well not to worry - motormouths Coyle and Senior will spin a positive post match.

[Tom]

Shocking stuff by Steele came halfway then stopped then went again and should have saved the penalty

Liability

[davulsukur]

Pretty much lost after just 3 minutes.

Coyle is the worst manager in all the English divisions.

[philipl]

Steele been down the bookies or someone been for him?

[JAL]

I reckon Coyle will play Lenihan at right back with Lowe and Apkan in centre midfield.

Just judging by the warm ups

What Ryan Nyambe for..... making brews or cleaning boots ? Get him off the books asap.

Whatever happened to this Travis lad ?

[1arC]

Looks like this run we are going on according to Coyle, has got off to the best possible start.
