Anyone know if Palmer was carrying a knock?

He was down for a while injured at Hull. Think a few were carrying knocks tbh.

Blackburn: Raya, Nyambe, Smallwood, Armstrong, Rothwell, Graham, Mulgrew, Bell, Lenihan, Evans, Bennett,

 

The above is a League One line-up and highlights the failure to sign at least 4 desperately needed better players in the transfer window

[TruRover]

Will do well to get a point imo tonight with that team. Big night for Rothwell.

We're only 4 games into the season.

[jim mk2]

I'd take a 1-0. Draw most likely unless Reading really are useless 

[SBlue]

Now’s as good a time as any to see what the likes of Rothwell can do.

Fingers crossed.

[Ruaney]

I’m still confident about our starting 11 but if we’re not winning I will be extremely worried after looking at that bench. 

Has Hart even kicked a ball for our first team In pre season?

What's your point? After the Hull game a few players got on the coach nursing injuries as Hull were a dirty team. Be it 1, 4 or 14 games into the season they're only bloody human

They had 3 months of play a few competitive games and are already carrying knocks. How are they going to cope with the Christmas and end of season schedule is they are already carrying knocks a few games into the season.

[Scotland1]

Looks a team lacking creativity and probably why we are going 4-4-2.

I'm in the hotel which has sky in my room, can I press the red button and watch our game?

[Ewood Ace]

We'd just as well pay up the contracts of Caddis and Whittingham now if they can't make the bench tonight then they are never going to.

[Blue blood]

When Hart is on the bench you know your squad is on the thin side!

(that is the ex Liverpool lb we brought and loaned out last season right? Otherwise my insightful comment becomes a lot less so...)

They got battered at Hull you clown, nothing you can do about that no matter what stage of the season!

We ain't lined up as 4-4-2.Rothwell replaces Dack,Arma and Bennett either side 

Yes if you press the red button you can choose which game you want to watch 

It's actually Rothwell and Bennett either side of Armstrong

I wasn't aware that I was talking about Dack.

[Butty]

Less confident now I've seen the line-up.Big opportunity for Rothwell in the Dack role tonight, go get em lad.

Maybe Palmer got a whack too.Anyway your point is nonsense, players get injured at anytime like ossydave pointed out players can pick up injuries at anytime

He's clearly a bit simple

[Doaksie]

From early impressions I thought Rothwell suited one of the deeper roles better, but hopefully he can shine in the Dack role. Seems to be able to pick a pass, and hopefully Arma will be waiting on the defender's shoulder to run onto it. 

This is Rovers. We're overdue a kick in the balls. Not feeling confident.

If I am then what a lovely comment that is isn't it. You must be so proud of yourself with that comment.

Rothwell himself said he likes to play deeper but our squad is so weak that an injury or 2 and we have to play players out of position.

Don't think Mowbray trusts him playing deeper quite yet regardless of injuries. 

We desperately need 3 or 4 in, the bench is a joke tonight.

[JacknOry]

Shows our severe lack of depth when 2 injuries means Hart makes the bench - incomings urgent, our two most creative players out at the same time.
