Would like to see Morishita start tonight - we need some spark / more potential goal threat.

Im pretty sure we will lose it.

I think Sheff U are struggling to score, but think they will get at least one and as we know, we are toothless. 

I'm going 2-0 to Rovers, time we stopped pissing about, and started winning.

Rovers favourites (6/4 vs 9/4 Sheffield United and 12/5 Draw)....what could possibly go wrong 🙃

And when we're favourites for relegation how often do we hear - 'And the bookies very rarely get it wrong.'

I'm not arguing against people's valid points. A devastating loss could well be on the cards.

It's more the certainty that they'll dominate us easily, and go on to win 1 or 2 nil.

I think we'll be in this game, we'll compete, and some point(s) should be within our grasp.

What happens from there, as ever with Rovers, is anyone's guess.

Come 9.30pm, if I'm wrong and we've been trounced to a 2-0 nil loss having barely laid a glove on them, I'll take the pelters as a deluded plonker.

Missed another really good chance did Gudjonson, which I'm actually seeing as a positive. 

As the forwards union always say, you're more worried if you're not getting the chance in the first place. His movement in the box has been good  enough, we need to persevere with him. 

Is morashita injured? 
I may have missed it if so

Yeh, I'd go with Neophox's team above tbh. Don't think Mori has been all that impressive on the wing tbh

[benhben]

Just cant see where any goals are coming from. 

I don't think the team as a whole are that far off, we pushed Coventry closer than a lot of teams have. We just cant score, which then causes us to get nervous at the back. There's a lot of pressure on the midfield and defence knowing 1 goal conceded is likely to loose us the game. 

We may as well persist with Gudjohnssen if he was a marquee striker signing. The other options are equally as shite. 

 

                             Toth

             Miller Mclouglin Wharton

Albiousi                                          Hedges

                   Tronstadt TGH

                       Moreshita

              Gudjohnssen  Ohashi

The two lowest scorers in the league. We have managed 7 but 3 were in one game. Got 0-0 all over it.

Morishita hasn't been much of a spark so far, time he turned up with his boots,and started playing football.

From my recollection Gudjohnssen has missed 3 sitters in 3 games.  Tonight will either be his redemption or a confirmation that he's useless.  My money is on the latter.

If we had anyone better it would be an easy desicion, but Gueye can barely kick a ball and Ohashi scores about 1 in 10 at the moment.

Gueye and Kargbo as well, spend 90% of the time they're on the pitch in an offside position

I genuinely would start fining Gueye every time he's caught offside through his own lack of awareness it's ridiculous now he's had more than enough time to adapt.

If it was the Kean era betting accusations would be swirling.

Not listed by the club as being injured in the preview:

Quote

To earn victory, Rovers will have to do it without a number of senior stars, with Todd Cantwell joining Moussa Baradji, Hayden Carter and Jake Garrett on the sidelines.

Lewis Miller is also a doubt having suffered a back injury against Coventry City last time out that forced the Australian international off during the second period in the West Midlands.

"Stars" doing some heavy lifting there and also now says Miller is doubtful, but i'm sure VI said he was fit to play.

[Giant]

Are we in for another postponement? It’s teeming down now after rain all day.

[Tomphil2]

Lets not start panicking about the weather again it'll be absolutely sound to play tonight.

If we get an early goal the paltry crowd might even get into it as well.

We could so do with a Travis type for a game like this.

Watched the Coventry game back. System does seem to suit us. Particularly like how we work down the sides (getting loads more crosses in) and having two up front.

Interested to see how we continue with it. I would say lets give Gueye a chance up top with Ohashi. Gudjonsen is getting nothing out of defenders, and I think Ohashi could suit Gueye more as a partner than Kargbo.

He also set Swansea up for one of their goals.

[RoversTilliDie]

Whats the weather like at Ewood, I'm setting off in the next half hour. The weather forecast says a lot less chance of rain between 7pm and 10pm.
