Easy ... Pratt is better than Picks... Connor should be recalled asap in January, doing very well at Donny. Will be like a new signing.

I think we'll lose 4 or 5-0

Why on earth Pickering isn’t at LCB (again) can only be for one of two reasons: he’s pissed off Pasha & Rudy (Team Eustace) or he’s over the wage threshold. Either way it’s a ridiculous decision.

Um, I do frequently!

An Academy graduate. Recalled him from a loan at Chorley. He's 22 - think he was highly rated at one point, but has had a couple of bad injuries that have stalled his career - people who watch the Academy can probably confirm / deny that.

Clear as day that they built the squad for a 4-2-3-1 / 4-3-3 formation because Pickering and Ribeiro are absolute spare parts in this formation and we don't have a backup for Alebiousu.

looking at north ends line up.their weakness is their 3 at the back are extremely slow,i suppose we could try and hit them on the counter,i don`t see how else we can win tbh

Absolutely disgusting about the finest English footballer of my nearly 90 years lifetime, and a perfect gentleman to boot

Sorry haven’t been concentrating. Who is Pratt?

This seems very reminiscent of when Mola and Garrett were seen as the answer at Turf Moor. Carter spent about 20 minutes on an exercise bike in the tunnel against Derby. Obviously worked a treat. Wonder if Baradji will be subjected to the same.

A big step up for a pressure cooker game in a cauldron atmosphere. It's the kind of thing that can make or break a career. Let's hope it is the former, not the latter. COYB!

Strength in depth: 3 left backs on the bench 🤪

I remember that game as i was actually there and the Cardiff fans tried to get in to the Riverside

You cannot recall players on loan at EFL clubs (eg O'Riordan) until January window opens, Pratt was on loan at non league so that rule did not apply to him

Miller should be Ok. Hes an aussie!

yes he is,it`s more like a 3/5/2 though

Why not recall Conor O Riordan or is Pratt better? We will see tonight. Two academy players starting.

Delighted Pratt is starting rather than trying to shoehorn Hedges in there. I'm more worried about Miller. I dont think he's very good at the best of times but he must have been playing until 0330 Thursday morning then had to fly back from Colombia. We shouldnt be asking any player to do that.

Sad, sad, sad. Many “ Rovers fans “ and I use that term loosely, are a disgrace to the club….no class , no awareness of history, no values….and to compound it…they believe in the people from India and their minions.

Yes, left footed, so will either play on the left or middle

I'm assuming Pratt is a CB? So he can play a back 5

I remember Rovers fans singing to Cardiff fans, "Where were you at Aberfan"

Disgraceful for respectable Blackburn Rovers supporters, going back to the bad old days, football comes 2nd.

i would`nt be starting pratt in a local derby but then again,our transfer policy is a f*****k shambles,so we have to,if he looks the real deal then he`ll probably be sold in january🙂,we are very light in midfield as well imo

There has always been a scummy underclass in attendance at association football games. The ones who sing the most cringe-worthy 'songs' (and I use the term loosely of course) are generally those with the least actual life experience and perspective, whose capacity for self-reflection is negligible and whose values are shaped by the shallow horseshit digital diet they depend upon for confirmation of their backward views. It was always so, although back in the 70s the rhetoric was fuelled more by anecdote and actual interaction, than the drivel that emanates from the gobby rat-holes that today's yoof yell from. Best to put the noise on 'ignore' and try to filter out any unpleasantness that ensues by focusing on the actual reason you are there - to show your valuable and valued support for the Rovers. I do hope your evening gets much much better 🙂 Thank you for standing up for your values and those of many others who can't make it to Deepdale this evening. COYB!
