[dazmaz]

win on the books for us i think 2-1, kalinic scoring both

[Clitherover]

wish i had your optimism.

seriously?....

[Majiball]

I just hope he () doesnt play

Love the Keith Smilie.

Well I've been a stupid boy and broken my cardinal rule, I've bet on Rovers. Last time I did this was wigan away last year.

Rovers 3-1 tonight.

Kalinic to score as well and Di Santo and Dunn.

3-0

Kalinic

Dunn

I think it has to be either the formation we started with at Villa, or a straight 4-4-2. The 4-4-1-1 just does not work - the fans hate it, the players seem to dislike it and I think we will lose if we play it. Be positive Allardyce - this is a must-win and we are at home!!!!

[The Rover of Finland]

Kalinic will score his first PL tonight. 3-0. Kalinic 2 and Dunny pen.

Robbo

Salgado Nelsen Givet Chimbonda

Emo Dunny Reid Olsson

MGP

Kalinic

Brown, Jones, Andrews, Diouf, N´Zonzi, Di Santo and Roberts.

You PRAT! Well done.....let's hope the damage is minimal . Seriously I'll go for a 2-0 win with EITHER a Kalinic brace, or Kalinic and Reid.

[thenodrog]

Translated as 4-5-1

Adds up to 10 but the game will translate as 11 v 11.

[alexanders]

ROVERS: Robinson, Chimbonda, Nelsen ©, Givet, Olsson, Diouf, Nzonzi, Emerton, Pedersen, Hoilett, Kalinić.

Subs: Brown (GK), Roberts, Reid, Andrews, Di Santo, Salgado, Jones.

[DE.]

So much for Dunn being available.

[budha]

With Chris Samba serving a one-match ban it means a reshuffle at the back with Martin Olsson likely to drop to left back and Gael Givet covering Samba's position.

David Dunn also misses out with a minor knock, so with Olsson moving back to defence and Dunn's absence it means Junior Hoilett and El-Hadji Diouf coming in on the flanks.

[Bobby G]

Could be a 4-4-2 with Junior up front as he is starting along with Diouf instead of Dunn and Samba. Olsson back in defence.

[Inta Beaver]

Diouf better do something good tonight!

[Cocker]

ROVERS: Robinson, Chimbonda, Nelsen ©, Givet, Olsson, Diouf, Nzonzi, Emerton, Pedersen, Hoilett, Kalinić.

Subs: Brown (GK), Roberts, Reid, Andrews, Di Santo, Salgado, Jones.

I am actually very pleased with that line up for a change

[RibbleValleyRover]

ROVERS: Robinson, Chimbonda, Nelsen ©, Givet, Olsson, Diouf, Nzonzi, Emerton, Pedersen, Hoilett, Kalinić.

Subs: Brown (GK), Roberts, Reid, Andrews, Di Santo, Salgado, Jones.

Had a feeling Olsson would be playing left back due to Samba's suspension and Givet moving into the centre, just a shame its had to be done as he looks dangerous on the left wing.

Diouf and Pedersen in the side

Good to see Hoilett and Kalinic get a run out together. They linked up pretty well iirc during one or two of the cup games.

[MarkBRFC71]

ROVERS: Robinson, Chimbonda, Nelsen ©, Givet, Olsson, Diouf, Nzonzi, Emerton, Pedersen, Hoilett, Kalinić.

Subs: Brown (GK), Roberts, Reid, Andrews, Di Santo, Salgado, Jones.

Diouf and Pedersen? FFS!!

At least it'll be 4-2-3-1:

....................Robbo

Chimbo ....Nelsen....Givet....Olsson

............N'Zonzi....Emerton

Diouf.......Pedersen......Hoilett

.................Kalinic

is how I see it. Might work. Might not.

[thenodrog]

Alternatively

...............Robbo

Chimbo ....Nelsen....Givet....Olsson

...............N'Zonzi..............

Diouf........Emerton.......Pedersen......

............ Hoilett

.............Kalinic

[Mr. E]

Well, Fat Sam sure is banking on youth and pace tonight with Pedersen and Spit!

I would really love to know what the "positive" people from the Villa defeat have to say about this now. I really would.

[Bobby G]

Mr. E, let the game actually begin. We may yet be surprised.

[J*B]

Its not on TV is it? Anywhere..?

If not, is Radio Lancs covering it?

Should be on radio lancs.

We've got N'Zonzi, Hoillet, Olsson and Kalinic all in the side. Surely that's got to be a good thing? Samba's suspension has meant we've had to reshuffle but oh well.
