ChrisPriceBaldSpot Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Goal fest tonight. 4-3, but I am not gonna predict which way. Brereton to score a brace. I'm looking forward to this game as to be honest it is slightly irrelevant to what we wanna achieve this season but I would happily celebrate a good cup run. Hoping to see Rodwell and Brereton start.

Bigdoggsteel Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Butterworth and Grayson are with the squad. Raya shared them singing initiation songs last night. I would like to see Butterworth get a start in Dacks position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore I'd rather Palmer got his confidence up / playing competitively regularly. Unless of course we think Butterworth is as good / better in which case I'd play him.

I'd say Palmer will start, I would just like Butterworth to get 45 min at least. I have heard he is a talented lad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will play a key role in the next 7 or 8 months for us, and as @Hasta suggests he needs game time to be ready in the league. He has already contributed 3 goals. There is no need to fasttrack Butterworth into the starting 11, we have plenty of young players ahead of him in attacking positions so his best bet maybe to do well consistently for the under 23s and be loaned out either in Jan or at the end of the season. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossydave Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 They've made a lot of changes too, Defoe aside I don't see much more quality in their team at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBlue Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) Looks like 3 at back... I think??? In Tony We Trust Edited September 25, 2018 by S8 & Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewood Ace Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Disappointed for Travis, I really don't understand why he wasn't loaned out. Good to see Brereton and Rodwell starting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roversfan99 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Hope its not 3 at the back. Rodwell surely in midfield as theres no other central midfielders in what is a very strange team. Hope Brereton, Palmer, Armstrong, Rodwell and Rothwell take their chances. Glad to see them all start. Big risk playing Lenihan when on a booking.

RV Blue Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Rovers twitter have it down as a 3 at the back, I doubt that. Think it will be Raya Nyambe Lenihan Williams Bell Arma Rothwell Rodwell Conway Palmer Brereton Possibly swap around Leni and Rodwell and Palmer and Arma.

bigbrandjohn Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 On paper that us a very good team. Good place to try them all out. It is Premier league opposition but a chance to play Football. A chance for Rodwell to become an instant hero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make far more sense as it at least has one central midfielder. Find it bizarre especially with Travis, Reed and Tomlinson on the bench.

ChrisPriceBaldSpot Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I reckon Conway is in the middle with Rothwell and Bell out wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBlue Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) Conway maybe suited to playing inside a bit these days. I can’t see anything but 3-5-2 Very attacking, young, LOVE IT. Nothing ventured... could be a few goals in this. Edited September 25, 2018 by S8 & Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swanson Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 "Craig Conway captains the side and makes his 500th club career appearance, with the Scot joined in midfield by Joe Rothwell. Jack Rodwell makes his first team debut for Rovers and will be at the heart of the defence against the Cherries" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arbitro Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) Starting Lenihan with four yellow cards already makes no sense to me especially with Downing on the bench. Edited September 25, 2018 by arbitro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom Tom Posted September 25, 2018 Backroom Share Posted September 25, 2018 Happy with the balance of main and fringe players but not convinced about the actual balance of that team. I think we’ll sneak it 2-1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like three at the back to me - Lenihan, Rodwell, Williams with Nyambe and Bell as wing backs. Conway, Rothwell and Palmer in midfield with Brereton and Armstrong up front as a pair.
