wendyredredrobin Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 We take on Blackburn today with a team which should largely pick itself. The main question being whether Famara will get the nod over Matty or whether he will be given 30 minutes or so in the second half. Hunt, Webster, Kalas & Kelly at the back Eliasson has done enough to cement his place on the left with Pack and Brownhill in the middle with Webster on the right. Weimann and Taylor up front (Though Fam is supposedly chomping at the bit to get a start). After a shaky start, the team seems to be starting to gel and looks more like a unit. Blackburn have not had too shabby a start themselves netting one point more than us so far and Tony Mowbray's teams are never to easy to play. For both teams, a win would propel them into the top 6, whilst a defeat would leave them looking towards the wrong end of the table, which is why I am going for a 1 - 1 score prediction this afternoon and hoping that the Ashton Gate roar could be worth the extra goal to City, so sing your hearts out lads.

Major Isewater Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 We will burst Blackburn's bubble , even though they have spent decent money on good players we have the bit between the teeth and should be highly motivated to get our home form up and running. 3-1 City Taylor. Pack Fammy I hate to add this but I sense an own goal by Webster for Rovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 The confidence is good and I hope and think we will win at home today. The team looks solid now and If we get tempo in ball and players we have a good chance. 2-0 City! COYR!!!❤ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly has taken to the championship in the early games Predicted 1 - 1 earlier, but as the morning is wearing on and I read the forum here and the Blacburn forums, I am becoming a little more confident of getting a result. We must really roar the lads on today and really make our voices heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said prefer Watkins to Pato playing wide. I think we may well see that for the last 20 mins, particularly if we find ourselves chasing the game. Watkins is actually beginning to grow on me though and I think he has just been learning to adapt to our style and fit in better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted September 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 At least Blackburn will come looking for 3 points. We still find it hard to open up teams who come looking for a draw. I think it will be a decent game, whichever way it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comes to something when we think in terms of 18.5 being low, doesn't it. Wonder how many will make the trip South on a Sunday lunchtime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Havana seems to have been indulging in some exceptional - and ironically, very tiring - 'lie ins' since the announcement of his recent nuptials so no surprise he's not up and raring to get the match thread going with a Sunday lunchtime ko. Well done @wendyredredrobin for taking up the baton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Fammy should come straight back in for Taylor afaic. - you don't leave out a proven goalscorer when his replacement simply isn't one at this level. Fammy is first team quality in the Championship, a strong presence and constant goal threat, Taylor is little more than a nuisance, albeit occasionally effective, sub. imo.

Redrascal2 Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 I remember certain posters regularly suggesting we sign Dack. I always thought that was a good shout.I think in the end he turned us down or said he was not interested as we were not doing so well. I just wonder if he will come back to haunt us.
