Cracking line up for me, perhaps Gallagher may consider himself unfortunate to be dropped to the bench.

What a great bench too, plenty of options.

Please no 'after the Lord Mayor's Show' Rovers.

COYB!!

Drifted out to 9/2 in the betting.

Gallagher can consider himself unfortunate but at the same time outside of the lightning quick run he didn't offer much.

Elliott was a far better player for us when he came on vs Preston, albeit against 10 men.

Either way that is our best squad on paper so credit to Tony for sticking with it 

Nice to see Chapman on the bench and hope he can be afforded a few minutes when we are 2-0 up on the 60th minute

What's your score prediction for today, Mercer?

Tricky one to predict but I think I'll go for a 1-0 home win. 

Gone big on Rovers' win as posted earlier.

Think there'll be lots of goals - stuck £20 on >3.5 goals at 12/5.

Normally there is a click here in the latest news/match preview but there isn’t today for some reason. I clicked on the ifollow next match and the screen that comes up where you normally watch it at the Side has a purchase match pass. If that doesn’t work I don’t have an answer, sorry 

[WacoRover]

Great lineup. Have to expect points today!

Did that mate. Just says "no content available" 

Looks like the BBC sports website then!

I was always given the advice never to back anything each way that was less than 5/1 Merc, there's no value in the 'place'. Surprised you've not stuck £40 on the nose at 3/1?

Decent advice you were given!  Though some bookies do E/W extra where you can get better odds for 2 places and lower odds for up to 5 places which can make a difference dependent upon price.  

Just an element of doubt hence 85% chance - if placed, lose just a few quid but in reality, more of a 'sentimental' bet!

I am very impressed how Wharton took his chance. For a couple of seasons it didn't seem like he would ever get a game but now he has really shown himself to be capable and deserves his run in the team

[Hoochie Bloochie Mama]

Makes sense to play Elliot. We struggle for creativity when sides defend deep against us. HE will hopefully be able to slot the passes through to AA, which really isn't Gally's game. Mogga said they play 3 CB's and they are all giants so how well we thread passes on the floor through their defence will be key today.

Barnsley's coach mentioned how good we are on 'transition', he knows our strengths are as a counter-attacking side, So they'll just sit and counter-attack us instead you'd think. 

Potentially a very tough game.

A lot of posters didn't want him to have a chance...just ship him out they said...

[Roverinbelfast]

That starting line up today is mouth watering. To think Dack, Trav and Ayala all to come back and strengthen the first 11. 

No excuses this season at all

 

[phili]

bit of a surprise not to see Davenport on the bench after the Preston match. 

[Mashed Potatoes]

Ewood finished sixth

Could have run bloody faster myself!

Maybe the footballing gods were conspiring to tell us where Rovers would finish this season!

I thought Ayala was fit again?

[Roverinbelfast]

That's the second time I've backed ewood Park and the second time it's ran like a three legged donkey. Will I learn my lesson? Nope I'll be all over it next time it's out lol 

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Anything but a win is a failure.

Was gonna back it, saw Mercer had backed it and pulled out.

Saved myself a tenner.

Rule numero uno of betting: If Mercer has it on avoid it.

[bigbrandjohn]

I hope we give it a right good go just like Klopp and the commentator just did ?

Will be case of once bitten twice shy for me!

Strangely, did fancy it strongly.  Got a bit edgy when I saw odds drifting like they did and was in two minds to lay the bet and cut the losses, sadly, I didn't.
