Got a good feeling about this one. Anxiously waiting for the lineups though. Today is the day Brereton comes to life and begins to justify the price tag.

Or injured?

3-1 Dack Brereton and Reed.

Sick, sick, sick. Hopefully your mum takes your keyboard away from you.

Penalty or no penalty, good performance, not so good performance, the facts are we won and we are sitting within striking distance of play offs and promotion places. We might have a proud history, however recent history shows that we should be proud of how we are doing at the moment and long may it continue. If we get to January in a similar position and strengthen in the right areas, then we may well be in for an exciting end to the season. Well done Tony and the boys. Keep the blue flag flying high.

Does the U23 squad mean Nyambe and Davenport are in the first team squad today?

He comes close but I really like Rodwell. I Would start Lenihan but I wouldn't be upset to see Rodwell in there.

For me if everyone is fit only Raya, Mulgrew, Reed, Bennett, Dack and Graham should be guaranteed starters. There are others who come close but for me that would be the spine of any starting 11 for us.

Not a chance mate. Raya is number one and will be for as long as he is at the club. The lad has saved us so many times already this season. I am not writing Leuitweiller off and I hope he proves a lot of people wrong, but there is no chance he is replacing a fit Raya.

Goal fest ahead. 6 goal thriller. 4-2 Rovers. 3-0 up, pegged back to 3-2, then Lowe and behold an own goal by our former Club Captain, the one, the only Mr. Blackburn himself Jaaaassssonnn Lowe!!!!

I reckon it's Reed all the way for the right back spot. He played most of last season there for Norwich and really impressed. Part of the reason we brought him in I think. If only we had had more faith in the painter and decorator before letting him go!

Are some of those deluded Sunderland fans aware they actually gave us money for Jason Steele that allowed us to buy Bradley Dack. Joke of a club.

Don't think you can drop Smallwood after the last couple of games. He has been a rock.

2-0

I reckon Conway is in the middle with Rothwell and Bell out wide.

Goal fest tonight. 4-3, but I am not gonna predict which way. Brereton to score a brace. I'm looking forward to this game as to be honest it is slightly irrelevant to what we wanna achieve this season but I would happily celebrate a good cup run. Hoping to see Rodwell and Brereton start.

Raya Nyambe Rodwell Downing Williams Reed Rothwell Armstrong Palmer Conway Brereton

Evans has to play imo. Judging by TM comments I don't see Reed starting yet, at least not away from home. I would go Raya NYAMBE LENIHAN MULGREW BELL SMALLWOOD EVANS BENNETT DACK ROTHWELL GRAHAM

Graham has to start this one against those centre halves. I would be tempted to play Rothwell and Bennett out wide, both capable of coming inside if Allen and Woods are bossing things. I will go with a 1-1 Stoke to score in the first half and Dack with an equaliser mid way through the second half, followed by a squeaky bum last 5 minutes.

I think Rothwell will come in for Graham and Arma move up top. And possibly Williams for Bell. 3-2 win. Dack with 2 Arma with the other.

Nyambe was brilliant, Lenihan looked awesome, Reed showed real Quality when he came on, and if Grealish is worth 30 million then Dack is bloody priceless!! Unlucky not to win but when you see the Villa squad you would take a point.

Can't remember the last time our bench was that strong. Come on Rovers

What has my life come to when on the first day of my holiday I am googling baby tigers? Harry Chapman if you are reading this you have some serious explaining to do.

Tigers, they have stripes, thus resulting in Harry Chapman going to Hull.

There's a local Sunday league team near me called Terrington Tigers, I'll get checking that.
