Blackburn build up

[FrankMunro-371]

With games coming thick and fast, what team is KJ likely to put out at Ewood Park?

 

[Parkins left foot]

Wouldn't expect him to change much.

Hause back in? (though he does seem to like Doherty) + KMac was only a one game ban so possibilities there.

Also Sako no longer available & not sure what he will do with that. VLP not effective on the left, though I think Henry 'can' operate that side. Does leave a hole whoever is chosen

 

[Tony Towner]

I think it'll be the same team as Brentford with Doherty and Henry in for Hause and Sako. I will disappointed if it is though

With games coming thick and fast, what team is KJ likely to put out at Ewood Park?

.............Ikeme

F-G Iorfa....Batth....Stears.....Hause

.......Price.....K-Mac

VLP.......Edwards......Henry

.........Dicko

Although I do think he may put Doherty at left back.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Hause did nothing particularly wrong in the games he played & for my money Doherty is not an upgrade.

Kenny's team for me, though would like to see Evans moved forward to the Edwards position if KMac is to take his place

 

[Lycan]

Looking forward to this, never been to Ewood Park before.

I really will despair if Iorfa or Hause are dropped to make room for Doherty.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Hause is the more likely as Iorfa looks like a proper full back

 

[YoungWolf]

Doherty was absolutely dreadful on Saturday. Hause should and will start. Henry and van la Parra on the wings I suppose.

Blackburn play 442, so should be an even match as although we played '4-2-3-1' Edwards make us play as if it's two up front anyway

 

[Pompey Wolf]

Yeah Doherty was shite on Saturday but then I'm afraid so was Price. Comfortably outperformed by Evans so will be interesting to see who partners McDonald. I thought Henry played relatively well and would expect him to start.

 

[Alan]

Price makes McDonald better in a way Evans does not. For my money he has to start.

What time are you landing in Blackburn?

 

[Lycan]

What time are you landing in Blackburn?

Going down Sat night and staying over. No way I'd make a 2PM kick off on Sunday trains.

Great commitment to the cause that mate!

Price wasn't shit. Evans played better but it's no coincidence that the player next to Price in midfield is allowed to play their game better, that's what he does. He got caught a few times in possession but he was also involved in some of our best moves. With more regular games at this level he's going to be an important player and we are well stocked for central midfielders.

 

[Pompey Wolf]

You're probably right mate it's just when I particularly noticed him he was giving the ball away in some pretty dangerous areas. I really rate Evans and think he needs to be in the side. Have we seen Evans and price together this season apart from Saturday?

 

[YoungWolf]

He has done that a few times against Watford, Brentford and Fulham but they've come to nothing and a run of consistent games will see those stop as he's a tidy player in possession.

I also rate Evans highly, I'm certain he will be a Premier League player and a good one. But coming out of the team isn't necessarily a bad thing for his development.

Evans and Price played together against Northampton in the cup and didn't play particularly well. I thought they showed promise as a pairing on Saturday.

 

[Lycan]

Baggies could be doing us a favour here. They're interested in signing Gestede apparently.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Can only think he's going to fulfill Pulis' 2008 style Mamady Sidibe brief. He's done well for Blackburn but he is not going to score goals in the Premier League. As someone to lump the ball at and batter defenders around a bit he might do a serviceable job, that said they already have enough forwards who never score.

 

[sycophantia]

Is this game on TV?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

No. It's been moved because Burnley are also at home on Saturday.
