Motor Mouth 255 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I have this feeling it will be Mogga with the smile on his face today as Rovers get their first win of the season and Smallwood and Downing will combine to score at least one of their goals.

Changing Times 12,211 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I see no reason why we can't get at least a point from this one if not all three. It's Blackburn not Barcelona. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Adam P 300 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Happy with the team, Howson back into midfield, was always going to be Clayton dropping out I'm afraid Brunners ? Link to post Share on other sites
LBP 3,012 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Let's see how this midfield 3 does then, very promising on paper Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Shotton ? Link to post Share on other sites
Dan1234 1,048 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I'd still have started Bola over Friend but overall happy with that team. Link to post Share on other sites
Ayresome7 187 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Can see Downing cutting inside with a left curler bottom corner. Refuses to celebrate but upon walking back to halfway line pats his back signifying his name in a subtle message to our club. Link to post Share on other sites
BearSmog 1,382 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Bola on for Shotton after he's made his 10th mistake of the 1st half (moving Friend to CB) and then Browne on for Johnson to see probably my preferred starting XI until Fry is back. Link to post Share on other sites
ladyspite 381 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I would started Bola on the left and put Friend in central instead of Shotton. But thats me.... Link to post Share on other sites

I'd give him a less subtle message back along with the thought that it would have been nice to see him do that a few times for us. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Me too, except I wouldn't play both Bola and Dijksteel together just yet. I think they need to get bedded in, and to make sure that they don't both get caught upfield together (1 up, 1 down). If we were going to play Dijk then the rest is a logical outcome. Feel for Clayts and I'm worried we will miss him there in the middle, especially with Dack running from attacking midfield for Blackburn - not sure Howson will track him well enough.

northern boro 446 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Blackburn haven't scored from something like 28 shots they've had this season... one or both of Downing and Danny Graham are bound to score today Link to post Share on other sites

That's okay! He was slow starting last weekend and wasn't great in the cup game (but then who was) so I'm happy to see what happens with this midfield - maybe they'll prove me wrong and we won't miss Clayton as much as I worry we would!¬ Link to post Share on other sites
