feel like I need to be at this game,I may not see a 175th!

What do I do folks!!??....

If i were you,   I'd get a ticket for the game. It will be a happier atmosphere, after a hat trick of wins, and hopefully we can send you home happy, with a win.

Buy yourself one of the Rovers all white shirts and pretend you are a Derby fan.

That's the only downer, losing one of our star players, for 5 or 6 games.

The other downer is him getting tapped up players from other clubs whilst he’s away.  Apart from during the Jack Walker era Rovers players getting international recognition has been great for the players involved, not so good for the club.

What have other teams to do with Blackburn Rovers. Your own team getting a result, is all that matters.

At the risk of sounding pedantic, there is a time in the season where other results absolutely do matter (it's idealistic to say otherwise). That time isn't now though. Loads of time to go, we have no idea what part of the table we'll be competing in at this stage.

I’m going to sound even more pedantic 😁😁.

Any result could end up mattering, we just don’t yet know which they’ll turn out to be.

If you finish a day in a better position than when you started it, it is a good result.

Apparently Toth will be out for 4-8 weeks. Massive blow. Pears has to step up I really hope he does man. 

[Lancaster Rover]

sunshine foreacast for saturday, will Antalya Pears be wearing a cap?

 

[Tomphil2]

Only at this club would they still employ someone who messed up his entire pre season due to an alleged vanity project.

He should've been sacked.

[Giant]

This should be a day when the fans are positive despite the bad injury news. We need to support Pears and every other player on the pitch for the Rovers. Don’t get embroiled in booing the opposition manager and players, it’s usually counterproductive. 

[neophox]

Pears had a great Run of form before his injury and should be ready .. anyone know anything on Wharton injury?

Will the back three be Miller, McLaughlin, Pickering?

 

Pears

Miller, McLaughlin, Pickering 

Alebiousu, Gardner Hickman, Henriksson, Hedges,

Morishita

Gudjohnsen, Ohashi

How I would start.

 

Forshaws to replace Henriksson with 25 mins to go.

The only people who deserve any boos on the day will be in the directors seats, corporate lounges and in bed in India.

Nigeria are after Alibousi playing for the national team, can only benefit rovers.

Absolute disaster for us  if we lose him for up to a month plus warm up/ recovery time either side of the tournament.

Not if we have to release him for AFCON in January, it isn't!

Runs from Dec 21st to Jan 18th I think.

You'd expect Nigeria to go deep in the competition as well.

Should like we've rushed Carter back. Wouldn't be surprised if he started and broke down after 20mins

Yep that my next thought!

Seems they're 5th favourites at around 11/1.

Morocco heavy favourites at a shade over 2/1.

Is this true? 

If so, they should have given him a ritual head shave!
