Statement FC will hope to bounce back at home to Swansea City on Tuesday…warm-up the laptop, make sure ChatGPT is up & running…👀

Swansea have some very dangerous forwards.

We will get a real hammering if we play like we did at the Valley.

[RoversTilliDie]

We need to put the Charlton game behind us, and get points on the board. Swansea and Stoke are far from easy games, they've both got off to a decent start. Let's pick the right team, and formation, and start winning at home.

Why are the Lancashire Telegraph banned from Ewood. They've been reporting on Rovers matches since 1886.

Feels like we have a few players who may have played crap yesterday but should definitely start. Toth, Cantwell, Morishita, Wharton, Tronstad.

Then in the other positions, its just about playing those who are the least crap or the least out of position.

Pickering didnt do enough so put Ribeiro back in. We only have 2 centre backs so even though hes left footed, McLoughlin in and Miller at RB. Not square pegs in round holes.

As expected, there is a big hole upon Travis leaving next to Tronstad. Baradji signed up to the physio room. Tavares is dreadful. TGH probably the best bet although theres a reason Birmingham loaned him out having never established himself at any of the 3 clubs.

Out wide is a problem too. Hedges always tricks people into thinking hes coming good with his annual early season goal and couple of decent performances but hes already reverting to the mean. Kargbo is terrible. And De Neve and Henriksson are clearly nowhere near up to it.

And up front, maybe give Gudjohnsen a first start.

What ever the reason is there needs to be a grown up conversation to get this rediculous disagreement sorted.

Your preferred team Chaddy or is it know Alebiousi(sp) will be out injured.  Other than that your line up looks like it is well worth a try.  We need to get Gudjohnsen going before he loses interest.  He has looked sharp, yesterday the exception, but we need to make sure we play him to keep that

Losing interest.

1-1 infront of one Man and his Dog.

Never thought I'd say this but I think we need Forshaw back fit asap. ! 

Noticed Sam Morsy being made available and could be available in January. May be worth a punt, getting on a bit now but still kept Travis out of the Ipswich side when he was there.

I don't know if Alebiosu is fit but I taken he won't be sadly

We dont need Forshaw back. Even before injury, he was long past being a competent Championship starter.

Dont let his absence fool you otherwise.
