Positives are another clean sheet but we arent creating enough. Their two centre backs won pretty much everything in the air. But it it was constantly pumped forward. Armstrong's pace caused a few problems for them when he came on
Usual Rovers, final pass a few times has been poor. Bell not half as good as Cunningham. Usually do well attacking Blackburn end so hopefully a strong 2nd half
Steady first half not a lot created. Ok at back apart from a few dicey back passes to Walton. Let's attack more this second half. I'd bring Rothwell for Downing looking tired out their today
William's has excelled at CB so shouldn't move him to LB to cover Cunninghams ineligiblity. I'd grudgly play Bell there and keep the rest of the defence the same. I'd start with Downing and Rothwell out wide with Travis and Johnson in the centre with Dack playing just behind Graham.
Only saying as most premier league clubs have clauses regarding game time. If not selected and hes recalled we will be very thin on the ground for defensive options
You would expect Lenihan and William's to keep the partnership going. They could go to 3 centre backs with Tosin and with Bennett and Bell as wing backs. Bell excelled in this role at Fleetwood and with Cunninghsm not eligible could be one of his last chances to shine. Certainly will be interesting as to whom is picked on Saturday.
