As touched upon in other posts, the international break has become somewhat a thorn in the side of some domestic clubs, with 8 withdrawing from duties ahead of England v Greece tomorrow, (cant blame them) I wonder if it imposes any fine for the players or if it's in an international contract (if that's even a thing)

@riggerwell ohashi for a start, hits the target often and can win the ball back and make good runs, just would have him over gueyeheyeyheye

I just worry that Gueye is becoming unreliable and filling a slot that can be used by an effective player. I still dont think hes really found his boots yet we know hes strong and can stay with and hassle players but just need to see more from him to convince me.

Anyway... who's your starting 11

Thankyou for the title edit Herbie 👍 better than my shouty one lol

Yeah there's too many games for these guys now especially if they are on international duties. As said above, Ohashi needs that time to rest and could perhaps start on the sidelines.

Yea be nice if they can hang on to that confidence they showed v cardiff. I feel like International breaks can scupper momentum sometimes let's hope we can build on it going forward now

Can we maintain the tempo and the brilliant performance we put in against the bluebirds after the international break or will we be back in the death spiral? Let's get behind them V Pompey and get Ewood roaring

Hi All and thanks for the add, been on the outside looking in for a year or so now so thought I'd better pull up a chair and join in lol Blackburn born n bred, and a regular down at Ewood Cheers
