Fulham Away

[Cherry Blue]

BEnnet captain

[JacknOry]

We all called it that we will suffer with injuries and depth at the back - wasnt expecting it to be a couple of days after the window shuts mind. Lenihan injured, Williams just back from injury (is he fully fit?) and now Nyambe injured?

[CambridgeRover]

Well at least the Fulham staff are very nice. Much better queueing then at Ewood. 

Alas we are about to get thumped. But perhaps I can be happy in knowing that this could be Bennetts last game. If it isn't I will lose my mind

No Cunningham on bench

Lenihan has had serious injury issues for two seasons in a row so Tony can't cry bad luck on this one I'm afraid. That's assuming he is injured and there aren't other reasons behind he and Nyambe's absence. 

[tomphil]

We are truly on the verge of madness......

[PeteJD13]

wonder if it's injuries or something else 

[JacknOry]

Bennett and Bell - Lessons learned then...

Exceptional world class ones have, yes. Incidentally so too has Tosin, who is the only CB Mowbray signed this window so he clearly expects big things from him despite his youth.

But that doesn't fit the narrative...

Funnily enough, the many references to “the inexperienced City kid” sound just like Mowbray himself! 

Ugghhh - Bell!!!

2-2

Nyambe has a concussion, did it happen at training yesterday?

Oh god. That attack and midfield is fine. But our defense. Ooooo

Pleasantly surprised to see Rothwell starting. Also surprised Gallagher retains his place.

Personally, I thought the defensive crisis was last week playing our League 1 defence. The three new ones in today’s line up ought to be much more solid than the three last week.

2-2

You havnt seen the lineup yet then?

The 2 worst full backs in the championship keep their place.

[RV Blue]

Managerial incompetence has left us with no option but to start a player who hasn’t made one appearance all preseason, round of applause for Tony everyone.

Cunninghams not in the 18

[Tormund]

How on earth did Nyambe get concussion?

[Ewood Ace]

A sign of the shambles that our defence is in with Platt making the bench. Last year he couldn't even make the bench for Stanley so had to go to Southport to play and now he is one injury away from playing in the Championship. Whilst just 2 days ago we let Mulgrew and Magloire go out on loan, crazy.

[TruRover]

Midfield and attack is the probably the best we have. Happy with that. Really hope Gallagher can get a goal. Massive relief that Rothwell starts.

Defence will no doubt let us down today tho. There is only one player I am happy to see in the back 4 and that’s a player who I’m only happy to see because I haven’t seen him play yet, so there’s a chance he might be decent. Overall that back 4 is weak even for league 1. Gonna need a miracle today. Can see a 3 nil/ 4 nil Fulham win. Because as we all know, Blackburn don’t do miracles. And problem is only a win would make up for the disappointment of last weekend.

Also, having your 2nd worst player in Bennett as captain is a joke. I would of rather have started JRC than him even be in the team.

all in all. Come on Rovers!

And more concerning Bennett Captain ..hopefully only because of Lenihans absence.

Apparently, there was a Friday training session. I don't know if that is usual.
