Would love to see 

 

                     pears 

Brittain Sanderson Hyam Ribiero

                  Trav     JRC 

Dennis          cantwell       Kargbo

                       Gueye 

 

 

is beck injured? Could always start Beck for Kargbo and switch up later in the game 

 

Dolan for Cantwell when legs are tired 

Only problem is there is barely a tackle in that front 4, puts too much pressure on Buckley and Trav to cover everything. One thing Hedges does better than anyone is organise a press in terms of creating cover shadows and cutting passing lanes.

i like to keep positive on the playing side,we are playing a side thats struggling badly,rovers should definately be getting a result  today,makter to terrorise them and bag a brace😁

Honestly those are the ones that scare me the most. I'd rather play a team in indifferent or even great form lol. I've seen us end way too many losing streaks, and winning streaks! With Rovers I've learnt to expect the unexpected results!

[Tom]

Our favourite Irishman back on the bench is good to see but worrying that Lowe would play Weimann and Hedges ahead of Kargbo that seems very conservative 

Feels the kind of game we usually lose so hoping for a pleasant shock today

Ohashi on the bench, nice. Rest of it is uninspiring.

[sharpysharps86]

Yeah personally would've gone with Buckley for Forshaw in the middle, as well as Kargbo for Hedges.

Great to see 'O'Hashi' on the bench 😂.

[BigBar]

Attack heavy bench...great to see, like to see Dennis get some minutes.

[B16Rover]

That is in fact eleven Blackburn rovers players, supplemented by a further 9. 

 

That's about all I can say

Ohashi, Dennis, Kargbo, Buckley inspire me

[rock steady]

Is Buckley injured? Because if not I can't understand why he gets dropped as soon as he starts to show some decent form.

[Southside Rover]

Is Cantwell injured?

Back injury apparently

2nd game running Lowe has picked a starting 11 which hasn't been too popular. It worked last time but a Dolan/Hedges/Weimann attack isn't particularly threatening, can't see it paying off this time.

Also, our "significant investment" signing still not getting a look in. Woodrow also staying rooted to the bench.

He's been carrying the team. Oh hang on

His form has been massively blown out of proportion as usual. Played ok in a few games and because he has been so poor for a long time it is seen as alot better than it actually is.

That's JDT, Eustace and now Lowe it seems that don't fancy him. He plays when we are stuck, he's not good enough and now behind Forshaw.

[roverandout]

All that attacking quality on the bench and he goes with hedges

[moerpho]

I’ll settle for a draw if we can’t find a way to beat them. Preferrably 0-0. Keeps the good run going and won’t draw a halo over Lowes head. A bit miffed Kargbo doesn’t get a start as he has been good to brilliant every time he gets the chance. Same goes for Buckley but Forshaw scored so back to the 90s (you score you play in the next one). Strong bench. COYB!

No way, should he be behind Forshaw. 

[Bethnal]

Conservative, which I can forgive as Lowe’s not here to make a statement. Losing away at Swansea is a poor showing. A draw there is a little disappointing. A win is a good result for a caretaker. The front four will chase and press, Gueye’s in good enough form to connect with a cross or a fumble.

It’s not very ambitious, but Lowe’s keeping a seat warm.

Even with all the caveats above - Forshaw is not someone to be starting ahead of Buckley or JRC.

He was in hospital at the same time as my wife. She was having a wisdom tooth put in.

Hedges and Weimann 🙈

Good to see Ohashi back on the bench.

Hopefully see Dennis today, and Kargbo a bit earlier

[yeti-dog]

New manager bounce going great for Eustace....

[jny]

I do not understand the continuing persistence that every manager has to play Hedges, he offers nothing. 

[chaddyrovers]

Delighted Ohashi is on the bench
