Blackburn Rovers FC win tonight, in Tony we should all be trust.

What if we don't win? Should we all not trust in Tony?

Bradford at home will always be special to me

as i put a half-time schoolboys penalty over the bar into the Blackburn End 

 

Complete guess without looking into the dates, but had the Riverside stand just been demolished about then?  I remember watching a game against Bradford - when I think they were going well - from 'The Hill'

Hmm, i thought that was a bit later. I don't think Jack had got involved yet

 

Maybe one of the below?

[grizfoot]

Expecting something like this line-up tonight:

--------------------------------------- Raya ----------------------------------------

----- Bennett ------- Lenihan ------- Williams ------------- Bell -----

---- Conway -------- Evans ---------- Smallwood  ---- Armstrong

--------------------------------------- Dack ----------------------------------------

-------------------------------------- Graham ---------------------------------------

Obviously Mulgrew plays if he feels he's ready to, but two games in a week plus flights I would probably say it's sensible decision to leave him out for this one. Williams has done okay when played at centre back when he's been asked to play there and bringing in Bell would improve us attacking wise I think. Given Conway the nod over Payne as I feel the latter always looks more effective coming from the bench and Conway is better working back defensively.

Was a bit worried about this match but as it's got closer i'm more confident although Larry has outwitted TM before tactics wise, he's very astute that way Grayson. Let's get after them from the off again no messing about.

Consider sack maybe as you once did. Then we will win MK

[darrenrover]

I've a sneaking feeling we're all going to have a head in hands moment round about 7pm when the team's announced:

                                                           Raya

                                    Downing    Lenihan   Williams

                                Bennett    Evans  Smallwood   Bell

                                                          Dack

                                          Armstrong   Graham

 

Just a hunch but it certainly wouldn't surprise me.

That aside, here's hoping that Ewood is bouncing and whatever team TM puts out we all get behind them and put the Bantams to the sword from the off.

COYB!!!

just about to head up for the game.

Trying to not feel pessimistic about the game. At times, i think that we've won ganes DESPITE the shortcomings of TM.

So you want him sacked if we don't win tonight? Try and stay positive Mark. Maybe you've sampled too many of the pharmaceuticals of the company you run?

Thanks mate. Hopefully Mowbray won't soil himself beforehand and play defenders all over the pitch.

It was the Easter angle really. It's a bit like Boxing Day in that respect. 1500 is a poor turnout from them but apparently there's a train strike, added to the fact they haven't been doing that great.

 

We only took 1800 to their place on a Saturday.

I'd hope there will be a decent gate but I know of 3 season ticket holders that won't be there as a result of the date change, so I doubt it.

If my better half finishes up being our lucky mascot tonight, I'm not sure I'd cope for the rest of the season but I hope it's a cross I have to bear!

They will be as far as the official gate is concerned!

Wouldn't have Conway anywhere near the starting 11.

We took just shy of 2000 out of a 2 and a half thousand allocation.

[OxSouthernRover]

I'm sure the boys will be very fired up for this particularly given that it's on Sky. 3 points a must, we can't have another Wigan as it'd dent our confidence in the big games.

The last 1 of these is George Courtney’s game. Never known an atmosphere as hostile to 1 man.

[G Somerset Rover]

No Mulgrew or Graham for #Rovers. Four changes in all. 

Raya
Bennett Lenihan Williams BELL
Smallwood EVANS
Armstrong Dack ANTONSSON
SAMUEL 

Subs: Leutwiler, Caddis, Downing, Payne, Whittingham, Conway, Nuttall

Samuel up top on his own. Jesus wept. Confidence suddenly gone down ever so slightly.

[Earlydoors]

What's with Graham? Injured?

[davulsukur]

Mulgrew and Graham are big misses for us.

 Samuel and Antonsson in the starting line-up?  Two very poor players in my view. 

What's wrong with Graham ? 

We'll do well to win this one.

 

[G Somerset Rover]

Back problem with Graham.

My biggest gripe is Samuel. I know we don’t have many options without DG but Samuel is one poor, lazy sod who couldn’t hit a barn door (comon fate...I’m tempting you).
