Definitely dont want to see injury crock and uninspiring Evans recalled ahead of Tomlinson. Huge game. Win on Saturday and we're only two wins away from Howard Kendall's record of eight straight League wins set in 1980. It would also put us eight points ahead of Charlton and you would have thought it would be quite difficult for them to finish above us unless we have a meltdown. Come on lads. Its my birthday Sunday. Party Saturday night and my best mate is travelling up from London for the game beforehand so don't let us down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo that's asking for trouble there'll be a void to aim for between Samuel and the inexperienced Travis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe play Caddis with that team and bring Travis in when Bennett returns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you should always be trying to strengthen and improve the starting 11 and for me Nyambe and Caddis just aren't consistent enough there.

I really think Bennett at right back is the answer. Can't see it happening though and I would like to see Travis given a run of games the way nyambe did to really judge him. Bennett would be safe and mobile at right back which neither Caddis or nyambe can offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G Somerset Rover Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Whisper it, but during this great run I can’t recall seeing much of Mercer and his outlandish predictions. Note to Mercer: this isn’t an invitation to come on here and do just that to jinx us! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We attack with much more pace and purpose when Nuttall is up front imo. That said Mowbray will probably go with Dack/Graham or preferably from my point of view Dack/Samuel.

roversfan99 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Raya Caddis Downing Mulgrew Williams Evans Smallwood Conway Dack Antonsson Graham This is the proper test, all teams go through runs where they are scoring goals and playing at top form, this is a game thatll show the character, can we get over the line and when weve got injuries etc. Its about finding wins when you dont have your full team available. If Evans is out then Tomlinson over Harper anyday, if Antonsson is out we are really struggling, literally no other options, Samuel and Dack have shown to be ineffective out wide. Graham has to start, got another goal and seemingly had an excellent game Wednesday, was excellent v Blackpool and will hold the ball up which Samuel cannot do half as well. Nyambe needs to be dropped too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Graham's had a bad start to season for whatever reason but his presence/experience as a front man is best we have. Think he has a point to prove so start the quality goal scorer.

SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Nothing to fear here...we play to win every game. 2-0...hopefully an increase in home attendance to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhben Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Raya Travis Downing Mulgrew Williams Tomlinson Smallwood Samuel Dack Antonsson Graham I think this is a game where Graham would do well.. Fresh from a goal in mid week and his hold up play and ability to bring others into play against a team likely to sit deep will help in a crowded area. Cant see much space for Samuel as a lone forward to run in behind. Id go for this team with Samuel, Antonsson and Dack making plenty of runs off graham.

Bigdoggsteel Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I really don't understand why some fans are saying they would start Samuel on the wing instead of Conway. Baffling. Samuel is an out and out striker,while Conway is a solid and experienced winger. This is the first game in I don't know how long,where I actually thought,Jesus we are good enough to beat anyone in this division if the work rate is there. 2-1 Rovers.

Mark Atkins' Bald Patch Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Charlton have their fair share of injury concerns it would seem: http://www.newsshopper.co.uk/sport/charlton/15774711.Charlton_suffer_fresh_injury_blow_ahead_of_Blackburn_trip/ Not sure who the additional unnamed injured player is. Billy Clarke, Mark Marshall and Joe Aribo were all substituted last saturday for them, so possibly one of them. I'd go for Conway wide rather than Samuel too. Square pegs in square holes please. Or maybe that's big round pegs in big round holes in Conway's case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early in the season I thought when it gets to injuries, other teams will find it even harder than us to maintain quality in their starting 11s. Hopefully we see this over xmas.

Bigdoggsteel Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 High praise for Conway http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/rovers/news/15774428.Tony_Mowbray_welcomes_the_return_of_Craig_Conway_as_he_challenges_Rovers_winger_to_provide_a_goal_threat/?ref=mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdoggsteel Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 True quote from Mowbray in another article He added: “The games come thick and fast and we’re going to have to use the squad. “You look around our bench on any weekend and they would already probably get in most League One teams. “Everyone is going to be needed so we’ll all need to work hard in training and when your chance comes you have to take it.

However now we don't have Chapman, I think we really need to use him as a winger, unless Conway starts putting in some performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhben Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Charlton fans seem to be expecting a tonking. Last few Charlton performances have been bad by the looks of it. Interesting how they single out Bradley Dack and...Ben Gladwin as an example of our squad strength. Obviously dont know how bad he is. http://forum.charltonlife.com/discussion/80200/blackburn-v-charlton-sat-16-dec-3pm-ko-match-preview-predictions-news-views Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
