Attacking team

Rothwell, Dack, Graham and Armstrong. 

2 sitting midfielders aswell. 

Keep it simple. 4-2-3-1

Not necessarily Chaddy - it could be a back three of Nyambe, Lenihan, Tosin with Downing as a left wing back.

Must be feeling the pressure to play Graham and Rothwell and drop Bennett. Bit worried about Downing at lb as feel that's not one of his best positions. Still makes sure we have our quota of midfielders in defence. 

And our quota of NE lads.

[Wegerleswiggle]

I reckon he's let DJ pick the team tonight!

Can't believe there's no Bennett or Gallagher. 

I guess if we lose with this starting 11 then he can walk away and say he tried everything. 

[bigbrandjohn]

Hopefully this team will do a great job tonight and it will be deja by all over again. Just as we asked.

Have the gambling commission been in to look at Tony's Tombola? Gallagher AND Bennett out? 

The cynic in me thinks Tony expects a loss and a battering and can use Nyambe going up against Benrahma as an excuse to cement Bennett in at RB until the day he's sacked.

Armstong on the right wing, for his one good game in 9? 

Hope Raya has a good game, regardless of result.

I hope we put some crosses into the box so this message board can stop waxing lyrical about a seriously flawed GK.

[JacknOry]

Glanced at line up, saw Evans firzt and thought oh dear.

Than saw no Bennett, No Bell, Rothwell and Graham starting and thought....ok. Attacking team and would only swap Evans for Holtby or Johnson.

Or Johnson for Evans and Holtby for AA

Mowbray saying that people don't mention all the Brentford signings playing in their B-team (ie first team failures) is one of the least self aware comments I've seen for a while, when he's got Brereton, Samual, Chapman, Davenport running out for our U23s and others that should be joining them.

[Stuart]

Very sparse crowd tonight!

[jim mk2]

Has Mercer predicted an easy win?

Hopefully not, in which case I'm optimistic.

Come on Rovers

Isn't it always?

[Husky]

It's a pity we don't have Mulgrew. Anyone able to put a decent corner, free kick or cross into the box would have caused flapper raya loads of problems.

Evan's can do certain things well,

I forgot all about Johnson if I’m honest, he was brilliant first few games, think there was a fall out from the Derby night out 

Que?

I expect no more than 9000 through the turnstile tonight. Red button fever.

[old darwen blue]

Nice touch having the Lancashire flag out.

Downing is pretty handy for that - not too sure about direct free kicks though.

Anyone watching this via skygo or online?  How do you watch red button games on the app?

I think that is arguably our best team. I actually dont care about the result insofar as this needs to be our team again next week. 

Lenihan captain too. Great stuff. 

Gonna go 3-1 us 

We really should be winning this one, no matter  how much Negative Tone bigs up Brentcelona.

We've both taken 6 points out of the last 9. Though our defeat was away against the mighty Leeds, there's was a pathetic home defeat against a poor Huddersfield team.

2-1 with Raya flapping one.

[OldEwoodBlue]

Finally Tony shifts Downing to LB when that move was obvious from the second Cunningham was injured.

No Bell or Bennett or Gallagher - Fantastic news.

Nyambe playing RB - Amazing

Graham up front. - Couldn't ask for more.

Suddenly I am optimistic we can win this 4-1

What will Tony do then for the next match ?

[old darwen blue]

02;18 Evans first pass to the opposition.

I don't think you can pal. I tried to set to record the match on skygo from my iPhone but couldn't access it. 

[old darwen blue]

07;32 Evans second pass to the opposition. 

Im just going to pretend I can't see him on the pitch from now on.

Very good start. Brentford look surprised. Anyone know the name of the guy doing guest commentary on I follow? Apparently local Blackburn comedian.

[Sparks Rover]

Worst commentator I've heard for a while (on sky)
