I think Eustace does know his best 11. The only one up for debate in his mind is the striker position. In Eustace's mind, I believe his best 11 is - Pears, Brittain, Hyam, Carter, Beck, Travis, Tronstad, Hedges, Dolan, Cantwell, then either Gueye/Ohashi

Doesn't really matter, but I can see two defeats there. August 2021 & December 2011

Yeah I think it could go either way. Would happily take a draw now.

Best home team against the best away team so far this season. A draw is where the sensible money would be, but no reason why we can't nick it.

A bit of both. We have found a formula that works at Ewood, dig in and be clinical without any real free flowing football. Could also be argued that we have played some of the poorer teams at Ewood so far, but to counter that Bristol City, Derby and Oxford are all in the top half with Swansea in 13th. We're doing very well with what we have I think, and hopefully the positive home form continues because I don't see us winning many away games at all this season.

I think Cantwell for Weimann but other than that i expect that will be the side.

Probably not is my guess, no first team player contract renewals since December.

Unless he goes abroad.

It's been discussed pretty much daily on the various transfer threads for over a year!

Dolan has started every game under Eustace so far, he isn't going to drop him now.

The nature of the last 2 games was although can happen, pretty alarming. With WBA, Watford and Sheffield Utd to follow i can see this being a real sticky patch. Rovers 0 Swansea 2

So he's playing at his level then? We'll never be more than an average championship club, with average championship players under these owners.

When was the last time we as a club got somebody tied down to a long term deal after they had entered into the final 12 months of there contract?

One game in the ZDS (Full Members) cup in 1990. We lost 4-1 to Everton, then never seen again. Hardly a former "Blackburn star" !

Strikers Lounge before the game is a must for him. It's located upstairs in the Blackburn End Reception. Has all kinds of games and consoles for them, pool tables, football table etc. Also a sensory room. Think it opens at 130 for a 3pm game. Took my lad up there every game when he stated coming with me, and at 14 we occasionally go up there even now. Think there are also consoles and stuff in the family stand, but I took my lad in the Riverside as I think it's a better view of the game, anything Row 11 and below is clear of the pillars in the stand, we have just gone to the Blackburn End this season.

Also really poor, ineffective sub appearances against Preston and QPR too. Definitely been off since that sending off unfortunately.

Like has been said he was doing OK without looking like a goal threat up until his sending off. His appearances since then though have been quite pathetic.

I'm not convinced he's that strong, there was an instance not long after half time yesterday that 5'6 Bali Mumba completely out muscled him and knocked him off the ball. I'm very close to writing this one off as yet another horrendous striker signing by the club.

Our last injury time winner in front of fans was in November 2019.

Not sure Cantwell is an unknown, he has 3 promotions from this division! Thing is he isn't, he's another in the ACD mould, moderately quick but another who comes inside all the time and never beats a man on the outside.

Gueye and Dolan won't hit double figures between them.

Only played there twice since that game. 2-0 defeat in 2018, and a 3-0 defeat last year.

I'm sure that was one of the few negatives that Brum fans said about Eustace in his time there.

Better than being in a relegation spot though.

Wharton fallen right out of favour all of a sudden.
