2021/22 Pre-Season

[Gone to seed]

I will always get behind the players on the pitch (even though my Riverside upbringing means I'll have the occasional moan too!) but I will never be reconciled with the arrogance being shown by the gurning goon, the spivmaster general or the loons from Pune.

Until there is a broom through Blackburn Rovers, wielded by people who care about the status, standing and future prospects of the club, then we are being asked to support a hollow shell that is Blackburn Rovers only in name, and not in nature - remember, Arte et Labore should not be an afterthought; it should be the raison d'etre.

Back on topic.

Last minute decision to head down to Horwich.

We should be playing out strongest team today as should Bolton, so we should get a more realistic picture of where we're at.

No coverage of us so it's Rangers v Livingston for me.

So no Ayala again but what's the betting he walks straight into the team for Swansea.

If he's fit of course which will be a long shot.

Not even in the squad. Guessing he's injured again?

Yeah probably, Carter is close though I think, he got turned for the second Bradford goal pretty badly but done nothing else wrong.

Hoping we see a 3-5-2 again.

Learning on the job, there'll be a lot of that this season i think.

Personally I’d quite like us to stick with the 3 at the back. It’s a formation which needs practice and patience though, however once got right it can work extremely well.  Personally would quite like to see JRC in that wide right role when he’s back from injury, with nyambe as the right centre back. Him and magloire sweeping on the outside of Lenihan could be extremely effective.

Line ups?

Is that 5 defenders? 

[simongarnerisgod]

i like this 3/5/2,playing with 2 strikers gives you extra options,though i can`t see tony ditching his bingo machine when it comes to the start of the season,he`ll more than likely go back to his possesion based shite next week,as for ayala,he`s obviously injured again,just get him off the wage bill and move on

No, it's 5 midfielders.

Rumoured to be a hamstring issue.

[neophox]

Nice to see Nyambe and Pickering bombing down the wings. Travis, Brereton and Dolan starts!

That never ends. This guy is of no benefit to us. 

[neophox]

Nice to see Carter and Magloire looks like no nonsense defenders with Lenihan at the back.

Is that the same injury that kept him out last season?

[Gone to seed]

ok, I've forgotten how to redeem my subscription to be able to watch the game.. anyone able to advise? (I've bought the £2.99 pass)

 

Ok, it is working now. That red and black kit is great!

Gurning goons are gunna gum ya

[neophox]

Mowbray the one who gave him a three year contract.. Ayala..

Think it was a groin issue.

If rumours are true, looks like Brockhall sale will happen.  Think it's criminal when you look at the money spunked up the wall on likes of Ayala - must be £4million+ in wages, NI, signing on fee, agents etc.
