[Archived] Blackburn Rovers vs. Blackpool **Updated with Colourful Graphs!*

[bob fleming]

Right. On Williamson I was only going off what one poster said about him being available on another thread.

In that case Lowe at RB and I'd be reasonably happy with a midfield 3 of Dunn/Murphy/Jones with Nunes out wide.

My main dilemma would centre around whether it was worth persevering with Best and Rhodes up top. If Rochina was available I'd definitely play him behind Rhodes. If not I'd almost be in a coin flip situation as to whether to go Best/ Rhodes or Rhodes with Gomes behind. I think I might start with Gomes and bring on Best fairly quickly if it was clear that was not working.

Alternatively just sit back and let a Malaysian football analyst pick the team for you Rev.

By the way, i'm pretty sure Murphy and Dunn have never started a game together for Rovers. So I'd be surprised if that was the case next Friday. In fact I think most of us are half expecting the useless Murphy to make a return in Dunns place - for reasons unknown.

Shall we have a sweep on which day Rovers will announce Dunn is "injured" ?

[Sparky Marky]

Best has to be first choice striker to get him upto speed...Rhodes can have a break on the bench....I rate Best over Rhodes at full tilt.

Rochina Rev? We haven't missed him in the least.

Bloody well wish someone would announce Pedersen was "injured" Bob.

Incidentally don't agree he did, but if as you're hinting Shebby picked the side last time Bowyer was in charge, you'd have to say that worked pretty well wouldn't you?.

Rev, are you actually proposing that it would be a good idea for Shebby to pick the team? I mean the very thought, that would never happen would it? I mean Venkys have made some ridiculously bad decisions but even they wouldn't allow that idiot to run riot would they?

Rochina's not coming back - Ruben Rochina Naixes ‏@rubenrochina23

22 Mar

i want say to all people that is asking me if i will be back... i cant back now. i am on loan to end of season. thank for your support

At last some good news in another dreadful week for the club. Rochina was worse than useless in last season's relegation battle and I don't see how he would make us any stronger in this season's fight.

Have been in France for the past 7 days and am only just catching up with events. Last time I went away Berg left the club. Perhaps I should stay at home more.

Looking forward to the Blackpool match. Bowyer had a galvanising effect on the players last time and we desperately need him to do the same now.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Was it Emerton who scored that last minute winner at Bloomfield Road? When we became the first away team to win there in the Prem.

Shows how far we've fallen, if Emo was back now he'd walk into the team in any position except goal keeper and centre half.

Bob, you actually missed a great point by the reverend there.

Really don't think I did Stu.

We're not in a position to " get Best or anybody up to speed "' they either hit the ground running or they don't play in my opinion.

It's coming though Bob, don't you think? Singh taking some kind of footballing position alongside the new manager is something he couldn't deny himself.

[rossyrover]

If some of the people posting on here think `Best should be first choice striker they must not have been watching the first half of the Burnley game.

[Ossydave]

Apologies if it's been mentioned.........Our pals down the road are apparently sending a plane over during the match, got to admire how original they are

typical six fingered inbred 34 bitter year neighbours!.....counting their chickens before they're hatched.... And that's why we will ALWAYS have the last laugh!

Saying what? "We still can't beat you despite the mess you're in"?

You'd think they'd have learnt after their plane in the Wigan game last season received ZERO coverage whilst the chicken received loads.

[sharpysharps]

Now seems as good of a time as any to remind everyone of this fantastic moment in World football:

[broadsword]

I reckon we'll lose to a goal on the last 5 minutes in a dreadful, scrappy game.

Not sure, ask Rovers4Good

If some of the people posting on here think `Best should be first choice striker they must not have been watching the first half of the Burnley game.

Or maybe they're just not using 45 mins to write off a player who's just come back from a long-term injury.

But what on earth could they possibly have seen to suggest he should be first choice?

[Salgado Is A Hero]

Like I said, he's just coming back from a long-term injury and therefore shouldn't really be judged yet.

I remember when King was apparently shocking after Bolton (I think it was), then after the 1st Burnley game, he was our only good player.

People don't rate Rhodes' hold-up play, Kazim is injured, maybe they're just presuming Best would be the best option.

I just don't agree that a player should be written off after even a few games, let alone 45 mins.
