He should.

Bet he plays Gallagher and if at all possible Bennett. Bell probably too if Downing is in midfield.

Not for me. Holtby has done nothing of much. Not been fit for 3 weeks. Useless against Birmingham.

“Nyambe coming back could give us the option of moving Bennett further forward and moving the midfield around a bit."

Or just dont play him at all because he isnt good enough!

Also Bennett is carrying 2 knocks and full of the flu.

Nyambe cant cross though so not sure wing back suits him.

This is what winds me up about the Rovers backroom set up.  Nyambe is a good wing back, he just needs to work on his final delivery and this is something that can be improved with repetition training.  I noticed this about 3 seasons ago, so I'm unsure what the feck our coaches are doing on a day to day basis....most players are going backwards or just flat-lining. Bennett should be nowhere near the right back position and Ryan should have 200 appearances by now.

We've reached the point where I can't tell fake quotes from real ones.

In other words 'I must find a place for my captain'....

So he’s captain on Saturday then....

Given Armstrong has been our best player of late and is best wide right this seems an ominous statement that TM is going to make things harder than they should be...

I am past the point where I need a statement from TM to realise that is what he will do.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Getting a feeling this is going to turn out to be a bad Saturday indeed.

It'll all be about stopping Preston and it'll take about ten mins for them to fathom us out

Ah but be fair rigger. We don't always know how he will make it more difficult. TM keeps us all guessing on that one.

He keeps getting played out of position, thats the problem. 

Hopefully Bennett wont be able to play.

If Bennett really has had flu for "three weeks" he will be close to death!

What a load of rubbish, Mr Mowbray (surprise surprise).

Bit harsh on Holtby, he was class away at Bristol city and has had some good cameos off the bench. Needs a run in the team.

Get Armstrong up Front and play 4-4-2

[Wegerleswiggle]

I would be lining up like this.

 

[simongarnerisgod]

id`e be happy with that line up,but i think captain marvel and mowbrays pet bennett will deffo start,injured,ill or unconscious,can`t see him picking chapman to start either,probably be rothwell on the left and bell at left back?,holtby must start,as apart from dack,he`s the only one with a final pass

[Wood26]

Mowbray saying a win and 5pm Saturday all could look well had me nodding in agreement. Then I looked at table and a loss could have us 17th.

Huge game, I really hope we turn up! Another one of our first half’s at Ewood where we are lethargic and sloppy can’t happen!

Unsure where the goals will come from, but we go again with hope!

[bazza]

Can we please spell our own players' names correctly. It's Adarabioyo. The media call him A-da-ra-bay-o. But surely it should be A-da-ra-bi-o-yo.

It took me a while to get used to Zurab's surname. I used to be able to spell it but I'm not going to attempt to now.?

[WacoRover]

Agreed, Wood26, this is a huge game. I don’t care what is said about this not being a rivalry. PNE has owned us in recent years. A win does so many things- not only do we defend our house, but we can breathe a bit easier for another year.

Without dingles or Bolton on the schedule, this should be the most anticipated game of the season.

Not their last 4 league games then in which they've managed one goal?

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

WacoRover is now famous on Nob end online.

[nathan_rovers1]

I am not sure why everyone thinks we are doomed, same run of form over the last 5 games and just 3 point off them in the league.

on what basis? 3 points separate us in the league, they have only scored 2 more and conceded two less? 

There really is nothing between the two sides.
