As you were fellas!

Subs - Pears, Miller, McLauchlin, Pickering, Montgomery, TGH, Kargbo, Henriksson, Gudjohnsen 

Strong bench and leaves DeNeve and Gueye in the stands but could easily add those two back in and take out Christi and Henriksson? 

Probably have Gueye in for Montgomery as with TGH and Miller he’s not first choice back up for either position he may come on

It appears you just dont know what you will get from this Rovers side on the day,going to be one of those Seasons...stronger away from Ewood.

I saw Ipwich's 5-0 win on Friday and until the first goal went in Sheffield United were the best team. The goal had a real touch of fortune about it but the finish from Philogene was really good. From then on Sheffield looked like a team absolutely bereft of confidence and the question was rightly asked about players not playing for the manager.

As ever tempo is important and we need to start quickly. For the opening periods of every game so far we have been second best so coming out of the traps with intensity is vital. As in most Championship matches the first goal is important.

I'd like to see Gudjohnssen on from the start, alongside Ohashi. An attacking formation, go for our first home win.

I would like to see fortress Ewood returning, I'm going 3-0 to Blackburn Rovers. Ohashi and Gudjohnssen on the scoresheet. Think positive.

4-2-3-1. either Gudjohnsen or Ohashi as the "1", with the other one coming off the bench to replace them for the last 20-30 mins, and Gueye on the bench in case they need something different (as well as Ohashi/Gudjohnsen, not instead of) late on.

I imagine (and it probably should be) it will be the same 11 as against Watford

Were improving, and the newcomers are beginning to play as a team. I'm more confident than the start of the season.

Just thinking if he's going to be more involved in centre of the pitch more likely to be injured and then we can't utilise him where he would normally be then we've a player out of both positions

In my experience moving an attacking midfielder deeper doesnt really change how much they get injured, but open to being convinced.

On the numbers of players we have a lot of forwards but only really Tronstad as a proven midfielder, while Tavares has struggled, Baraji is injured and Montgomery and TGH yet to really show what they can do.

If Cantwell can perform there it gives us an extra mid which we really need imo, if not now then certainly when we start getting into 3 games a week. Ive seen enough from Todd to suggest he can do it.

Good win at the weekend. I think we should start Gudjonsson as hes obviously match fit and scored against France. Theres no need for us to keep him on the bench. Harsh but either Hedges or Yuki to drop out for me. Similar to others sadly I think it will be a tight game but their extra quality will show in the end 1-2.

Albeiousi  Carter Wharton  Ribiero

               Tavares  Tronstadt

Morashita      Cantwell       Yuki
