The Met office forecast sunshine and rain. Its still dry and bit brighter 

💯 recommend weather and radar.  most accurate radars I've used as I go walking alot and it's my first port of call.

Stoke make 5 changes from midweek.

Got the 'Watford feeling' again so gone for Rovers at 9/5 - again heart ruling the head!

Back to you in studio, provided you've not posted negatively about the club from that journalism box

I'm at the ground, at the moment I think it will go ahead.

Best we can hope for is another abandonment this time with Rovers losing.

Unchanged? Bonkers after that performance but a telling sign of the squad we’ve assembled.

The Stoke owner arrived in his chopper as usual not sure I would have fancied that today 

The performance were we, at worst, deserved a draw?

Sadly these players are finding their feet at this level - Morishita, Gudjohnsen, Miller, Albeiosu et al are just going to need consistent game time.

I feel sorry for Henriksson who can't seem to get on the pitch at the moment.

I read it as: 'never chase a lost ball' - but I guess that is only football reimagined as Karg-ball.

Tavares dropped from the squad for Gueye

How Kargbo has got in there before him, or anyone, I don't know. Lost us the game last time.

Really need a reaction today. We were terrible first half against Swansea but the performance did improve in the second half once we pressed them a bit more. 

Think I was in the minority in thinking Gudjohnson showed some good link up play. He just had that one awful moment when the ball rolled under his foot. 

My biggest concern is even at times when we look a little more coherent, i feel as though we could concede at any moment. I'd have been more comfortable with Wharton starting.

Sorba Thomas worries me. His crossing ability will cause us all sorts of problems

I predicted the other day that either he or Phillips will bag one today (or even N’Zonzi). Just feels like it’s that type of season.

Just a shame he didn’t show any of that crossing ability when he was at Rovers. He couldn’t even take a corner properly back then.

If he is fit, I would always start with Wharton!

Taveres being dropped altogether is a surprise. Wonder if he's injured again?

Not sure we should have stuck with the same 11 but its consistent, I suppose.

If it was me Kargbo would not wear the shirt again after losing the ball and just watching the fella run away from him.

Personally would have had Wharton back in the side

Beyond that, most of the potential replacements are no better than who they would come in for

 

There is that... 😁

Don't worry - in april our new CM will be fit to play alongside Forshaw (for about 37 minutes)

We where shit on Tuesday, so let's stick with that. That is the sign of a very weak squad.

Smallest crowd at Ewood I've seen for years, this is the Blackburn end.
