Think the best we can hope for is a hard fought draw, but I suspect we'll come up short and it'll be a 2-1 win for Burnley and a Pears howler likely costing us a point. I think Rovers will certainly give it more of a go than they did last time they went to Turf Moor and JDT basically rolled over for them with a horrific team selection.

My predicted team:

                     Pears

Brittain   Carter   Hyam   Pickering

             Travis    Tronstad

  Hedges      Dolan     Sigurdsson

                    Gueye

I don't think any of the new signings will start even if they have signed in time. Gueye to score for Rovers.

 

I think there's loads of uncertainty in this fixture. I have no idea who is going to be playing for them. Neither did Scott Parker until this morning, I'd bet. Maybe he still doesn't.

 

Despite the chaos happening at their end, their XI will still have cost far, far more than ours, and will be in a better state than they were in last week when they were beaten by Sunderland. But we're in a much better situation than we were for either of the fixtures two years ago I think.

Not announced yet but seems Sarmiento has signed in time for them, he’s a concern tomorrow as think we’ll struggle with him

He will have needed to be registered by noon to play.

When is the deadline for registering a player in relation to the next round of fixtures? 

Documents have to be submitted prior to 12 noon on the day prior to the date of the relevant match. So for matches to be played on Saturday 2 September, forms will have to have been received prior to 12 noon on deadline day. Any applications received after 12 noon on deadline day (and before the window closes at 11.00pm) will still be processed but players will not be eligible until Sunday 3 September.

I dont recall but you are probably right. The only thing I remember is our one foray and shot in the second half was the result of our one and only long ball out of defence. Scott Wharton on the bench. Adam Wharton not even in the squad.

It is the one game you don't experiment in.

After Burnley's performance at Luton, I didn't think we had a prayer.

However, it's clear things aren't all well over at Turf Moor.

I actually think we've rode our luck a bit in the 3 league games so far and 7 points is a wee bit flattering.

First goal is going to be vital and I think Burnley will come out the blocks very quickly.

Would like to see the ins and outs this week for both clubs before calling it, however, I think our chances of getting a result after significantly improved since Burnley's opening win at Luton 

Balls on the block and it's Rovers to win.  At 3/1 just couldn't resist a punt.

Think they are in turmoil and we will have a cohesiveness and togetherness they will not be able to match.

All this despite Pears almost certainly being in goal.

Fun bet at 80/1: Rovers' win, score 3-1, anytime goals Ohashi and Gueye.

Ffs. That's Burnley won.

burnley selling their best players and replacing them with bog standard championship players,i like it,providing we don`t mentally capitulate under a bit of pressure i think we can get something out of tommorow

[Doogs]

Tough game, but Rovers can do it. Be a much closer game than the last one at Burnley.

They've actually kept a few players that were expected to leave, but that's still a squad with a fair few players that don't want to be there. I think some of those players will be struggling for match fitness, too.

I'm still expecting a defeat because I think they'll have too much quality for us, but I have to hope that Rovers are just a bit more together than Burnley are. That's the only way we'll get anything out of this game, even if it's a battling defeat, which would be more than can be said for our dismal showing at t'Turf two years ago under Tomasson.

[davulsukur]

Transfer window is done, we wee with the willy we've got. 

Highly unlikely any of the new lads will be involved, certainly none will start with the possible exception of Beck, should Picks not make it but I assume he will.

Baker might make the bench, assume neither Duberry or Cantwell were signed in time anyway.

Edited August 30 by davulsukur

[islander200]

I'd say Baker and Beck will both make the bench .Baker has been on the bench for Stoke so I just see him going straight on our bench, probably why he was done quicker than the others excluding Beck he is ready to go.Even if Pickering makes it they will want cover on the bench and Beck had a proper pre season.

Be after the break when we see Cantwell and Duberry.Does Duberry go away for the underage internationals or Id he not involved. Be good if he was with us during the internationals 

[roversfan99]

Maybe Toth will be on the bench too if his clearance has come as Hilton played for the under 21s tonight.

The game is live on a lot of international TV. Updated list:

https://www.livesoccertv.com/match/4966191/burnley-vs-blackburn-rovers/

The info from the club lists quite a few of the countries named above as being "dark or unsold" territories so available on RoversTV.

It's confusing but I suspect that the club info is out of date.

[Paul Mani]

                       Pears

Brittain   Carter.    Hyam.   Pickering

                Trav.       Sonny

  Weimann.     Dolan.        Hedges

                        Gueye

Subs - Toth, JRC, Batth, Beck, Buckley, Baker, Siggy, ACD, Ohashi

I reckon only Cantwell didn’t make the midday cut off. Maybe ACD too. The rest were in time.

1-2 to Rovers. Yuki off the bench to score the winner and send us wild!

Thanks.

Looks like I’m okay in Spain today.

Nerves already kicked in.

I've just got up, drawn back the blinds and the first thing I see is two magpies right outside my house.

If that doesn't do it nothing will 🌹👍🙏

I opened the back door, saw yet another snake, it didn't go for me, I'm taking that as a positive.

What's Waggott doing in Asia

let's do this!!!!

aunt Stella says good morning lads n lasses

[BankEnd Rover]

Gueye Goal and celebration in front of those from Emmerdale would be remembered for years to come. 

[DavidMailsTightPerm]

Today is a true litmus test against a team that should (even with Parker as manager) be a cert for top six and challenging top 2. We are possibly playing them at a good time - as they re-adjust their squad - but this will be a far bigger challenge than our first 3 matches. Let's hope Blackpool was a flash in the pan rather than a more realistic reflection of our team (though that team will obviously change as our new players come into the team)

Slithering around in mud and I dare say his own shit.

His natural habitat.

But, sadly, too cunning and dodgy to get a machete strike in on time.

Hopefully Eustace gets the message through to the new players about just how big this game is.
