Morton, A Wharton, Dolan, Szmodics and Dack to run riot, Bradford to end up with 9 men and a resounding 4-1 victory for the mighty Rovers as Sparky's boys overdo the physical stuff. On the assumption that Markanday is injured and Phillips needs a rest, I would go with this line up: Pears JRC Pratt Pickering Batty Morton Wharton Szmodics Dack Dolan Vale Subs: Kaminsky, Ayala, Edun, Brittain, Buckley, Diaz, Gallagher

There were quite a few Rovers shirts in evidence at Blackpool today. Good to see.

The Jam - Music For The Last Couple

The Proclaimers - Sunshine On Leith

Probably not a lot. Forest's manager is called Steve Cooper 😉

The Jam - The Place I Love

I see what you did there Jim, very good😂

Donna Summer - State of Independence

I saw the full innings. He was a walking wicket.

Neither did Crawley

The Jam - That's Entertainment

@chaddyrovers is normally Crawley's cheerleader on here

The Style Council - The Piccadilly Trail

RIP Uncle Jack (and Lenny) Probably a good day to reproduce that brilliant poem written when Jack passed away (apologies, I don't know the author's name) I have never written a poem before; I don't see any point in rhyme. It never appeals to us working class; It's just a waste of time. Well now is a bit different, I need to tell you how I feel. And in some small way pay tribute to the Blackburn man of steel. It's vital not to miss the point; football is not a bit of fun. It's pride and passion, skill and strength all rolled into one. It's not about Man Utd, Chelsea and some foreign fancy Dan. It's Blackburn, Preston, Burnley, that's where it all began. Where what you see is what you get, but don't show how you feel. But I'm making my exception for the Blackburn man of steel. I really need to thank him for the pride he gave us back. Just for a while we were the best, thanks to Uncle Jack. Few people have the vision to make a dream come true. For the beauty of Jack Walker's was - we got an invite too. Some saw him as a rich old man who bought a winning team But for me they miss the point; he bought us all our dream. I think it's maybe true to say it could not last forever But then again I'm certain that it's better once than never And even if those winning ways never do come back They can't take away the memories, thanks to Uncle Jack. Hendry, Sutton, Batty, Shearer, the names roll off the tongue But "There's only one Jack Walker" is still the Rovers' song.

Turf Moor

Step forward Blackburn Rovers 💙🤍✊🏻

Same here Mike

Maybe. I did wonder about Phillips going off with diarrhoea on Sunday tbh

Good to hear! We want everyone on their toes and on their mettle.

Yeah I would certainly trust my own eyes and judgement over raw data but it was interesting the way even 3 games’ worth of stats backed up what you and I discussed on here yesterday about Rovers’ goals so far this season. More often than not it really isn’t rocket science.

On the 45th anniversary of his death, Elvis Presley - Are You Lonesome Tonight?

Electric Light Orchestra - Here Is The News

Funnily enough it was Reading

To be honest I wouldn't have a massive issue with that - it doesn't really matter who or where the ideas come from as long as they benefit the club and the supporters. I guess it also means that he/the club is listening.

I know quite a few Clarets who have been going to see Weller in his various guises for 45 years now. It just goes to prove that you can't have good taste in everything 😉
