Bristol City vs Blackburn Rovers, Sunday 1st September, 1.30pm KO

[Admiral Nelsen]

Struggling to pick a side for this one. Even if Reed & Brereton will need to be patient to begin with, there'll still be some very unlucky players on the bench.

Assuming Dack & Armstrong are fit, I'd go with:

                     Raya

Nyambe Lenihan Mulgrew Bell

        Smallwood Evans

Bennett     Dack     Palmer

              Armstrong

Subs: Canadian, Graham, Brereton, Rothwell, Reed, Travis, Downing

 

All of a sudden, that's some squad!

[MarkBRFC]

I have a feeling Mowbray will leave out Dack & Armstrong, gives them another couple of weeks then to get to 100%.

Could see Reed going straight in for Evans if he's not right.

Front four of Bennett, Rothwell, Palmer & Graham. Brereton on the bench.

Winter is coming!

Why are we playing on a Sunday?

See the first bit of the preview.

[Bigdoggsteel]

A typical Rovers under Mowbray hard fought 0-1 away win 

I don't think Dack will start either. The amazing thing is that I am not even that worried if he doesn't 

[Lancaster Rover]

Can't see Dack being risked, Mowbray has been very non committal in his interviews about him featuring. Give him the international break to get fully fit and have him raring to go when we return.

[tomphil]

Evan rested for International duty ?  Anyone having a quid on it ?

[Colt Seavers]

My apologies if this has been posted already but the match is apparently being streamed by Bristol for a tenner.

[SBlue]

Excellent.

 

The spice must flow.

Will it not be on Rovers’ ifollow in the UK as it isn’t a Saturday 3pm or on Sky?

It’s not on Sky. It’s more important that they show Rangers v Celtic on TWO channels simultaneously followed by Cardiff v Arsenal ALSO on two channels simultaneously!

[Mattyblue]

I know, ergo it will be on UK ifollow...

Sorry misread your post.

[Ossydave]

Monday booked off work now so looking forward to it big time.  I've said it past few games (got scoffed or by a few), but once again nothing to fear going into this game. 

2-1 Rovers 

[JHRover]

2-2

We'll fall behind quite early, respond well, equalise before half time, go ahead but then concede an equaliser late on.

The Ipswich game was ages ago.

More importantly 2-1 Rovers.

I don't think Dack/Armstrong will be risked.

I think we'll rotate the 3 behind Graham like we did against Brentford. Benno/Palmer/Rothwell switching between the left, middle and right support players.

Raya

Nyambe-Lenni-Mulgrew-Bell

Evans-Smallwood

Palmer-Bennett-Rothwell

Graham

Set out the stall not to lose. Maybe Armstrong coming off the bench.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Surely Big Ben will play some part in the game especially if Dack and Armstrong are out.

[JHRover]

Impressive following that for a Sunday lunchtime.

[roversfan99]

No Armstrong or Dack that I could see in the training pictures earlier. Can't see them featuring.

Williams was back on the grass though. Brereton, Rodwell and Reed also

This game is on the red button

 

[Mattyblue]

So all non 3pm Saturday games are on Sky then? If that’s the case, so will Leeds and PNE at home, as they are 12pm KO’s. 

Not sure Waggott thought about that when agreeing to the early KOs...

I bet he did because I bet the Sky money for the red button is greater than the approx. 1k extra fans he'd have on without it being on tele.
