Will be very interesting to see just how "aligned" he is by the 2nd week in February

val gives an air that he`s not got the longest fuse and the annual transfer shambles could well push him over the edge,especially as it seems he was promised some investment,3 managerial departures in 3 years,thats some "achievement" would it even raise an issue with the venky apologists????

[RTM08]

Just watching the Brum-Cov game and the levels of intensity between their attacking play and ours are night and day. I appreciate they have more talent available to them but for me it's an attitude thing and that's down to the manager and his coaching.

Fully expecting more ponderous crab football in our own half today.

[davulsukur]

Montgomery and O'Riordan back in the squad.

[roverblue]

It’s like he sets us up to park the bus but we still concede loads of soft goals. No ambition going forwards whatsoever from Ismael been the same since he came in. Look clueless with the ball.

It would be a welcome upturn to have any kind of football played to be fair, given the completely clueless displays meted out in the last two games.. Surely the players have more self respect than to serve that shite up again? Surely the manager has more in his coaching portfolio than rinse and repeat? Surely...oh hang on..

VENKY LIFEBLOOD SUCKING MORONS OUT!

SUHAIL PASHA SICKLY-GRINNING ASSASSIN OUT!

WORK EXPERIENCE TRAINEE SHORTSOX BOY OUT!

Where is the game squad listed - interested in academy strikers have been put in?

[OnionBalaji]

If/when we get beat today surely that has to be serious pressure on VI even at this circus club - another defeat and it really is quite the record for big V

I have no problem with the young guys playing. Too bad Litherland is out with a hammy.

Is it definitely going ahead or is it subject to a pitch inspection? (anyone heard anything?)

There's no risk - I live up the road from Ewood and apart from cars being frozen over this morning, it's fine.

Currently blue skies and no sign of snow.

That lineup isn't getting past the halfway line.

[MarkBRFC]

Looks like two "10's" behind Ohashi to me.

Why the f*** is Toth on the bench?!!?

[duckson]

Thank god Henrikson on the bench although the wing backs are lacking about 50 yards of pace, good to Tyjon back.

[roverblue]

So Ohashi and Cantwell the only attack minded people on the pitch. Can’t wait to freeze my nuts off watching this 👍🏻

[Andy]

Pears starting is a surprise, unless Toth isn't ready yet.

Good to see Tyjon on the bench, at least he's an actual forward instead of a midfielder cosplaying as a striker.

[Tom]

That may be the worst team I’ve ever seen us put out. There’s zero attacking threat and he won’t even put Joseph on the bench (spotted Tyjon is there at least)

How on earth has he decided to keep the inferior keeper in the team?

[AspRover]

oh joy, three number 10s to get in each others way.

You can think Gueye is as useless as you want, at least he occupies a different area of the pitch.

[sharpysharps86]

Toth not starting. Ismael should be sacked for that alone. Pathetic.

"greedy, wont sign a new contract"

😉 

[davulsukur]

Yeah, we're not winning today.

[chaddyrovers]

Hopefully we see Baradji and Cantwell higher up the pitch. 

Surprised Atcheson starts over O'Riordan and Pears over Toth

Its a cold day but a Rovers win is what is need today

I may be in the minority, but Atcheson's ceiling may be higher than Litherlands (Litherland currently a year older and further along though)

And I say that as a big fan of Litherland
