dropping Wharton sends out the wrong message to the players and fans..

Yes it does and don't discount what it does to the player(s) too.  Mobary has regulatly done this though to shoehorn in the lemon drizzle club members that olay for us.

He’s criminally underrated by this board. By far the best midfielder we have at the club. 
 

While normally I would agree with the 2nd point Rothwell has clearly never become distracted this season - his work ethic has been incredible and he clearly cares and want to win. 
 

While I like davenport 2 holding midfielders against a poor Bristol city team is overkill. 

Maybe the best attacking midfielder, but not the best midfielder as there is a defensive side to midfield.

creating confusion and uncertainty is a classic sociopath tactic, to deflect attention away from yourself, and to make people focus on the drama you've created in their lives.

Just saying.... classic Sociopath... facades... drama bombs... deliberate sabotage of others to ward off criticism of self...

Of course, that could never happen at a PROFESSIONAL club like Blackburn Rovers...  No, nay. Never..hmmm

Lets see what pops up at 2pm ish when the team sheet is published.  I think you can lay bets pretty reliably on the shape of the team at that point, regardless of what horsepooh has been spouted by the manager beforehand.

Tick, tock...

Rothwell shouldn’t be starting so call me crazy. Two reasons:

1) Players who started last game deserve to keep the shirt.

2) Whilst he’s not signed a contract extension, we should be planning for future without him.

The reason we are in the situation with point 2, is probably because over the years we have never done point 1.

[WacoRover]

Tbh, I didn’t believe we would be this close to playoff places, at this point in the season. 
No time to rest, gotta keep adding points, 

1-2. 

Rovers! 

[AllRoverAsia]

Apart from the current top 2 and maybe WBA this is a bang average Championship.

Top 6 is most certainly achievable and to get there we need to go away to sides like BC and go for a win.

I also think we will by 1-2

[simongarnerisgod]

i see no reason why we can`t beat a side in transition,who are struggling,whether mowbray thinks like me is doubtful,i expect a completely different mindset from the one that ran sheff utd into the ground,we`ve had two weeks off and the lads should be well rested,get into em,**** em up!!!!!!!!

[bluebruce]

I dreamt last night, that we won this 4-1...

My dreams never come true. Defeat or draw it is.

[booth]

I hope Mowbray doesn't forget what made the team good last time.

[davulsukur]

Same team as last time.

Ayala on the bench, along with Rothwell

i would`nt have clarkson on the bench,it`s a waste of a place but can`t argue with the team selection

That’s fair enough for me. Those players earned the right to wear the shirts last time out. Now they’ve got to keep them.

The "other lot" are at home against Tranmere so you might bump into Tranmere followers en route to Bristol

 

Now that's interesting....three lots of fans of teams called 'Rovers' all in one town or city at the same time to see their teams play on the same day. Has to be a first?

I suppose we might have all been visiting London at some point but surely the odds of that are still low.

Is this available on Rovers TV? On my account I can only see audio subscriptions available...

[Gone to seed]

: Kaminski, Nyambe, Lenihan (c), Wharton, Edun, Travis, Davenport, Buckley, Khadra, Brereton Diaz, Poveda

Subs: Pears, Johnson, Ayala, Rothwell, Dolan, Clarkson, Butterworth

Lineup

 

It’s nice to say that I’m happy with a line up 🙂 Puts me in a more positive mood before kick off! Last week I was whinging about the same line up! 
 

I would love P&K to prove me even more wrong today ☺️

Football Focus once again missing a trick 😂

Yes, the £10 video pass is - ''This match is available to all International supporters and is not available to view in the UK and Ireland''

My thoughts exactly. We’ve quite often in the past not given players a chance after a decent showing. Could prove to be an awesome bit of loan business, when it looked like a waste. 
 

I want to give credit to the manager, but it almost feels like somethings seem to turn into positives against his doings. Anyway, let’s just hopefully embrace it and hope it’s not a flash in the pan.

Ah, I need to go VPN then..

Seems odd to block Ireland off. They're hardly going to be coming to games too often.

They've been reading BigDog's posts on here!

[joey_big_nose]

Surprised Pickering doesn't even make the bench. All the lead up suggested he was fully back?

[chaddyrovers]

Come on Rovers. Let's get the win today. This week could be a good win for us
