The Official Blackburn Rovers v Bristol City Match Day Thread

[cityexile]

Random result to keep an eye on, Fulham at home to Villa. Want Fulham to win to keep the teams above them as honest as possible for as long as possible. Next round, Leeds are at Burton and Reading at Forest. Little worried if it comes down to it on last day of the season, Reading are away at Burton, are likely to be safe in the play offs, and could play the kids. Last four games they have Rotherham, Forest, Wigan and Burton!

Win = relaxing Saturday in the sun

draw= nervous Saturday watching the teams around us

lose= thatchers Saturday biting fingernails 

[Roadrunner]

Going for a 1-1, 1-0 after 3 minutes. Tammy to level the scores  after 81 minutes.

My first trip to Ewood was to see Chelsea play, with a friend from uni. On the bus from the station we saw a shop that had the simple, yet effective, storefront sign "I buy owt", with the translation for actual English speakers, "I buy anything" in small print below.

Worked with a lad from Blackburn: he drew a number 9 and wrote SHEARER on his dog's back with a permanent marker.

Good luck to you guys today. I know it likely means another year of LJ for you but I would love to see the chicken farmers relegated not you.

[Offside]

A draw today would be a decent result. We are due a draw away.

I really hope the players show up for this one and we don't see a repeat of the Brentford and Preston performances.

Just flitting through the BBC Sport website and came across this little gem:

Blackburn have met Bristol City twice before in league games on a Monday, scoring five goals in both games - a 5-2 win in 1909 and a 5-0 win in 1958.

By my reckoning we are due these Fu*@kers  a doing!......COYRs

100%.

Any team changes, unless enforced, would be moronic and indicate the tombola is fixed.

Theres a decent understanding in the team at the moment. Two up top and carry on

Agree, but LJ has already proven he is well capable of not doing what the vast majority think is sensible... lets just hope he does not tinker and revert to his preferred one up front cr@p handing Blackburn the initiative.

[RumRed]

Going for a high scoring game, 5 goals in total.  How many and to whom is the rub though!

[Garland-sweden]

Hoping for a good result. We are strong now, at least one Point. 1-1 ok result, Always Believe, COYR!!!

[Red white and red]

We are pants away from home so I'm thinking 2-1 defeat. The bottom of the table will certainly look interesting then!

A win would be excellent.

A draw would be good.

A defeat wouldn't be a disaster.

Ergo - go for it, two up top and full on attack.

Decent run of home wins has set up precisely what you outline.

Other results will be interesting today for us too; things could look a lot clearer Either way at 5 o'clock, i.e. a fair bit of work to do still, or relatively easy going final three.

[internetjef]

Is it possible to get the radio coverage of the match online?

i don't have a proper radio, only my laptop.

If it isn't possible, why??

[Negan]

It'll be a boring draw I reckon. Either 0-0 or 1-1 with a late Wilbraham equaliser. 

[Out of his pie crust]

I would be surprised but incredibly pleased with a draw or win. Have a fear that Blackburn will play with an iron desire to win.

I fear that its do or die for them even more than it is for you. If you are not up for this you will be 2 down in 10 minutes.

Just hope people leave enough time to get to the match. It took 13 hours to get to Edinburgh on Good Friday. M5 was good, but the M6 was a pigging nightmare

Traffic was fine, about 3hrs 15 to get here. Hope it's a happy journey back

[Northern Red]

Unchanged team and bench, for the third game running. 

Mustn't have packed the tombola.

[Super]

Unchanged line up

[M.D]

Same line up again...

[Bristol Rob]

Same starting 11 and bench as it was against Wolves

And they say you can't teach a stupid young dog new tricks. Think Barbara Woodhouse must be mentoring him now. But whatever the reason, thank God the penny finally dropped.

Tomlin will be here next season

Might be a weird thing to say, but 1 point is as good as 3 here. Us dropping points means Blackburn dropping points too, and all's the same as the good position we're in now, just with 1 game left to play.

Pretty sure three points is better than one....
