Looks like a back 4 with hedges working back deeper on the left.  JRC and Trondstad in the middle. Sammy off SG and Dolan mostly on the right 

Hedges and Brittain are playing as Wingbacks. Chrisene is playing as the LCB in a 3.

Jrc took a blow to the nose

No way would Brittain a hedges start today's game. Reason being they wasn't JDT ready. A plan B can fit these players in if they are ready. So far being good, Not overloading the attack and better game management picking the right times to go forward 

[superniko]

Can hear a few ‘we want ******* out’ chants which I think is Venkys. But could also be Waggot and could also be Stoke who were singing You’re Not Fit To Where The Shirt earlier 

[duckson]

Get in, Dolan for no.2 . 3-0

[Tugay-is-God]

Jeez, what is this?

I guess they really were sick of JDT. 

[SuperBrfc]

A few banners spotted around Ewood. One reads "Steve, Suhail, Silvester, Snakes". Another says "Waggott Out".

Chants of "we want Venky's out" and "Steve Waggott, get out of our club" have gone round too.

Good to see the fans won't be distracted by the new appointment.

On the game itself...Hedges has been superb so far.

[yankfan]

Never score that under JDT as the ball would still be being passed around our box

WTAF

[yankfan]

Of course it’s Ennis 

[OsloRover]

That 3-0 goal would never have happened under JDT. 

[Ianrally]

Ennis you couldn’t make it up

[WacoRover]

Dolan, I love it 

[Tugay-is-God]

Ennis, of course. 

[duckson]

3-1....Ennis. LOL

[NeilInBristol]

3-1... still no clean sheet ffs

[Andy]

That 3rd goal was as beautiful as anything we’ve seen under the era of tippy tappy football.

Goal kick, flick on, finish.

[DE.]

Would have been nice to keep a clean sheet, but you just knew Ennis would net against us. Their only shot on target so far. With that said, we've had three and they've all gone in so I suppose it's just two rubbish defences - we've just had the better attackers thus far.

Can't be too critical as we are still 3-1 up. 

[Blow-in]

3-1 Looks like everyone is benefitting from not being managed by JDT 🙂 

[Moptop1]

Well, Ennis has finally scored at Ewood! 😂 

[NeilInBristol]

That sounds more like two rubbish keepers than two rubbish defences.

[RoverCanada]

Huh. Wonder if it's too late to see if Eustace is willing to serve as an assistant under Lowe.

Every team at the bottom is winning (except Stoke).
