I wonder if Cantwell's phantom injury will have cleared up in time for this one?

Let's hope so, he can play when he puts his mind to it.

Wish it was busier for these earlier games ppl should take advantage of the cheap offering

Put into context most regular fans have signed up for or paid for season tickets and there is an expensive first home league match on Saturday.

They should throw this in for free the price they are disgracefully asking for an adult BBE ticket on Saturday against a club that was in league 1 last season.

I'm one of those 😔

But yes your right get the first 3 round free would be a good incentive gets bums on seats and potential profit to be made from bars and food outlets

Tyjon and Michalski will both start. Beyond that it will probably be a hodge podge of kids and whatever is the first team.

Ismael's press conference hinted at players needing "minutes" to get them upto speed.

So imagine the likes of Pickering, Wharton, Kargbo, Montgomery, Gueye etc will all start.

[RoversTilliDie]

Here's the predicted lineup for Blackburn Rovers against Bradford City in the EFL Cup match ¹:
- *Goalkeeper:* Toth
- *Defenders:*
    - Right-back: Alebiosu
    - Centre-back: Hyam
    - Centre-back: McLoughlin
    - Left-back: Ribeiro
- *Midfielders:*
    - Defensive midfielder: Travis
    - Central midfielder: Tronstad
    - Attacking midfielder: Henriksson
    - Winger: Kargbo
- *Forwards:*
    - Striker: Ohashi
    - Striker: Hedges 

Surely a mix up, I got this probable line up for tomorrow's match online, it's got Hedges upfront.

I went to the ticket office today with aching feet in the sunshine for tomorrow's game, CLOSED. Try again tomorrow.

Should be a rule for all efl clubs to really encourage full turn outs and support clubs  they should use the prize money to pay for stuff like this

online tickets only mate,they don`t care about trying to get crowds,only penny pinching,they probably saved £1000 quid by not opening but lost treble that in no sales,tis venky/pasha logic

Try ringing the ticket office tomorrow after 10 to save potentially a wasted trip apparently digital only

I get the minutes but we need a starting squad that's gelling. This would of been a good match for that purpose

I just do everything on my phone now. It is easier but understand the physical jaunt to collect a ticket adds a bit more to it

The ticket office hasn't been open on a Monday for a while.
