Ossydave Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 Looks like they have a few key injuries themselves so it's no good us feeling hard done to regarding Dack we need to get on with it. Hogg picked up an injury, we could do with him missing out. Quote

I’d be ok with that - maybe starting with Graham and Gallagher coming on later though. I just hope Buckley is used as an understudy to Travis or Johnson though and not out wide. Hope Adarabioyo is back - our defence looks so much stronger with him and Downing in it. Sadly I can see Bennett starting. Quote
Backroom Popular Post Madon Posted December 28, 2019 Backroom Popular Post Posted December 28, 2019 I'm hoping Chapman makes the squad tomorrow. There is no need for 3 strikers on the bench, you're never going to bring Samuel, Graham and Brereton on and Chapman offers something different. I don't care if he has been mediocre for the U23s, we all know how good he is on his day, he's got the X factor and sometimes when the clock strikes 70 and we are 1 - 0 down he's the type of person you want to bring on. 12 Quote

Agreed. Admittedly barely seen much of the U23 team but hes notches a few goals lately too. In fairness he must struggle to motivate himself sometimes playing for them, he didnt come to Ewood to play reserve team football, at the very least he needs a place on the bench and 20 mins game time. 1 Quote
Doug Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) We are 3 points behind 4th place, who would've thought we could be here just a month or so ago. Most teams are inconsistent around us (thankfully), and a return to winning ways would be very encouraging. If Evans and Tosin are fit I'd try a slightly different formation. Walton Nyambe Lenihan Tosin Downing Travis Evans Johnson Holtby Rothwell Gallagher Subs: Leutwiler, Williams, Chapman, Brereton, Graham, Bennett, Armstrong Had a quick look at Huddersfield website and they have an opposition 'one's to watch', and they have Williams as 'one to watch'.??

neophox Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 With Dack, Nyambe and Evans probably out I Think we may start like this knowing Hudds will line up: 4-5-1 Walton Bennett, Lenihan, Tosin, Downing Rothwell, Travis, Johnson, Holtby Armstrong, Gallagher Hope for a Place on the bench for Chapman. Bench: Leutwiler, Bell, Brereton, Graham, Chapman, Buckley, Williams. Quote
Tyrone Shoelaces Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 Whenever Evans gets injured he's usually out for a while. I can't see him figuring tomorrow. That's unless a move to Stoke may be on the cards, 1 Quote
Amo Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 I'd rather play Holtby in Dack’s role, or as a deep-lying playmaker rather than the inverted-winger thing we got going on now. For me, it would be a flat 4-4-2 Walton Nyambe Lenihan Tosin(?) Downing Chapman Johnson Holtby Rothwell Gallagher Graham Quote

Agreed. A chalk on your boots type winger might help our non-scoring strikers too. Against Wigan it felt like Nyambe and Downing were doing the flanks all by themselves while we had Holtby and Buckley out wide against Birmingham. So it felt like everything kept coming inside, making us pretty easy to defend against and strikers like Gallagher basically redundant. He’s not really gonna get involved in any link-up play on the floor on the edge of the box. Wingers coming inside can work well if you’ve got full backs flying past them and offering a threat going forward when they do come inside. I like Nyambe but I think it’s clear he’s not much of an attacking threat, while Bell just isn’t very good... Edited December 28, 2019 by frosty 1 Quote
RTM08 Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 Whatever the squad is we really need to stop hoofing it to Gallagher. He's awful in the air and it results in the ball coming back more time than going forward. Keep it on the deck and give it to his feet. 1 Quote
superniko Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 Big game for us after two disappointing draws. Our rivals for the top 6 are playing 21st, 22nd, 23rd and 24th in the league all at home! so a defeat is likely to leave us 6 points + GD off the playoffs! All teams from 4th to 10th are at home except ourselves. Bristol City: Luton (H) - 22nd Swansea: Barnsley (H) - 23rd Forest: Wigan (H) - 24th Preston: Reading (H) - 15th Fulham: Stoke (H) - 21st Sheff Wed: Cardiff (H) - 11th I'm going and looking forward to a sell out. Will head to Magic Rock brewery for a few beforehand, nice place if you've not been before. Quote

He is if a decent right midfielder can be found to play with him. Needs a bit of work on his final ball but he's got a bit of pace, strong upper body and fancies himself to beat a man. 1 Quote
1864roverite Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 Sorry to say this but if the players are not up for it I see a big defeat looming on the back of Dacks injury. Alternatively if Rovers have anything about them they will go and win it for our injured maestro ⚽️⚽️ 1 Quote
simongarnerisgod Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 tony has come up with so many different formations i think he`ll go completely rogue tommorow and play 3 up front,gallagher,brereton and armstrong,the holy trinity Quote
stinny1 Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 Time for Chapman to be given a run out sink or swim time . midfield of Chapman , Travis , Johnson , Rothwell . Holtby in Dack role and Graham up top 2 Quote

To be honest, I bet it’s hard to stay motivated when you do bits in the u23’s and Armstrong gets picked regardless. 2 Quote

I'm bored with all this stuff. We had similar last season with a player (can't remember who it was just now) being 'punished' or 'taught a lesson' by Mowbray for off the pitch actions. I fear Mowbray puts way too much time and energy into thinking about off the pitch stuff and into maintaining his happy campers regime rather than just focusing on who is doing the business during games and on the training ground. I've seen Chapman for the u23s numerous times this season and can safely say his performances havent warranted a place in the first team. Having said that with Dack out and seemingly no more money to spend Mowbray is going to have to get more from HIS signings like Chapman, Brereton, Gallagher, Holtby. I have to say I've been disappointed with Holtby's contributions to games so far. Expected more and don't see where the hype is justified. 3 Quote
tomphil Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) Some players could piss in Mowbrays tea cup everyday and still get picked. Others well they only seem to have to look at him the wrong way but the way he chops and changes you'd really have to piss him off not to get a chance. Edited December 28, 2019 by tomphil 1 Quote
