Blackburn Rovers (A) 8/8 build up thread

[Lycan]

Tickets have arrived! Would be more excited if we had someone to play on the left side of the pitch though.....

Good seats? Are mine with yours or are they still making their way up north?

We only got 2 think we have all 3 - Sam showed me via snapchat so I can't check!

Confirmed - villa on a 5 year deal!

Is Rhodes injured?

 

[WalsallWolf]

Be great if we could hit the 3k mark.

Pre-season done and dusted. IMO starting XI next Saturday will be:

Ikeme

Iorfa Stearman Hause Golbourne

Henry Coady McDonald Edwards

Afobe

Dicko​

It's that by default though really isn't it?

Yeah I suppose.

I'd rather we played Graham instead in that formation or went 4-3-3 with Enobakhare or van La Parra in for Henry but I don't think that's going to happen.

Rovers beat Wigan 3-0 today btw. Goals form Tomlinson, Hanley & Marshall.

Their starting line up:

Raya

Henley Hanley Duffy Olssen

Marshall A.Trialist (D.Guthrie) Lowe Conway

Rhodes A.Trialist (N.Maynard)​

I haven't seen Graham or Bright play so I can't comment. Apparently did well today though. I can't see how Graham will be good enough to be a regular first teamer given his previous lack of involvement but looks like he may have some part to play in the squad.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I think we can definitely expect Enobokhare to be the back up striker. Graham will need to grow into his role before being first team ready. Pretty sure Wallace was going to be in that position but his niggle snookers that just for now.

Jack Price and Kevin McDonald both fit for Blackburn. Jed Wallace and George Saville in training but not yet ready to be in contention

3167 sold so far for Sat. Decent effort. :easy:

Think it's pay on the day as well so we could be pushing the 3700 capacity. Should be a cracking atmosphere. Can't wait now.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I still remember the first game of the first prem season. I was in with the home fans and to see the whole Darwen End absolutely packed with gold and black was fucking incredible. Shame about the result though!

 

[The Bear]

I'm 5 rows back on the top tier just off centre. Great seats!

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Doesn't look like there are any streams for Blackburn...

I imagine the only debate over our XI will be in the wide areas.

Ikeme, Iorfa, Stears, Hause, Golbourne, Coady, McDonald, Afobe and Dicko will be nailed on you'd imagine.

I'll go with:

Ikeme

Iorfa
Stearman
Hause
Golbourne

Henry
Coady
McDonald
Graham

Afobe
Dicko

Subs: McCarey, EEL, Edwards, Price, VLP, Enobakhare, Le Fondre

 

[SouthWestWolf]

You forgotten about Ojo?

 

[Nando]

I don't think he'll start.

Toss up between him and Bright for the bench.
