They will be confident for Tuesday.

Btw, I'm not going to Barnsley so fully expect to miss our away win!

Any team playing us at the moment would be confident, sadly. At least with two late equalisers against Stoke & Fulham, they are not 4 pts closer to us.

[Dan Robin]

Good opportunity for Cundy, shame that Wells is still excluded.

Pessimistic vibes. Anyway...COYR!!

They will see us as a great opportunity for 3 points, must win for them, lose and they are finished you would think.

Critical game on Saturday, one we have to win, which means we have to do something we haven't done 9 times out of the last 12 and score a goal.

0-0

I'm going for a 1-0 win, we've got to score eventually even if it's a fluke. Derby will be a tougher proposition.

Apologies Jerseybean. I was going to quote you earlier, but didn't and now the system has saved what I started to write.

On paper, outnumbered in midfield. Seem to assume Blackburn will play with width rather than through the middle. We shall see.

I would be dropping it over our WBs thus dragging our CHs out to cover.

But that is just me.

On paper we look to be playing the same formation as them.

Did you agree with Nige when he said that really our formation hasn't changed much through the season? I'm not so sure, but maybe he's talking subtleties that I cannot appreciate.

If the club were offering an hour and a half in depth interview with Ryley Towler to watch instead of the football, I think I’d go for it. 

A few wheels would have to turn  and a few doors need to be opened for that to happen.

Fearing a disaster but hoping for the best. I’ll take 0-0 right now.

indeed....but its all about the players performing when they cross the white line and compete with their opposite numbers.

He said it hadn't changed for a few months (not season).  No, I didn't agree, but if he thinks a front sweeper is part of a back 3, thats his prerogative.

Well one goal in 8 games for blackburn so yeah can imagine them increasing that today.

Pretty normal for them, not a club with our level of support
