But the original debate was about the forward pairings. In my opinion there are two choices of pairings. Either Dack with Graham, or Gallagher with Brereton. Choose one or the other, do not mix and match.

No, the original debate on this thread is the Wigan game.

And, if everytime Gallagher gets a game as striker, then Dack gets dropped, is just a bit silly.

And there are 3 games in 6 days. We have a squad and will need to use it.

I like Danny G, but he is needing nursing through periods like this. As I'm sure Downing and other might also.

Not a Bennett hater, in fact really appreciate his ability to fill in wherever TM asks, and do a reasonable job.

However, Armstrong Dack Holtby for me. Plus the other 8 ?

Looking forward to this game if the team reverts back to the Brentford lineup I think we should win comfortably

It's not so much about the Brentford lineup or the Barnsley lineup or the Bristol Rovers(Edited to say City) lineup.

It's about how they come out and perform.

And that is what comes and goes a bit. We need the passion we have seen these past few games and we need it every week.

And maybe if the ones saving money, who want to still feel Rovers fans (so pretend it is a protest) actually supported the club with hard earned.

Gallagher missing= loss of form ?

Not necessarily

Everybody's hero, Elliott Bennett, marked him out of the game and they took him off in the first half.

Why move Downing further forward when playing so we'll to accommodate Bennett at left back. 

He didn't. He took off Joe who was struggling and decided it was better to move Downing into that position with fans favourite Elliott Bennett filling in behind.

If he starts playing Gallagher or Brereton out wide to let Arma have a go up top then hes a idiot.

Not quite

If he starts playing Gallagher or Brereton out wide to let Arma have a go up top (and loses) then hes a idiot.

If he starts playing Gallagher or Brereton out wide to let Arma have a go up top (and wins)  then we told him so!

3 wins in a week. Only a fool would change the team.

It hasn't been the same team for those 3 games. Plus a sub comes of the bench and scores a winner.

Who'd be a manager?

Is that for us or does that include his assists for the opposition as well? ?

I just don't get the rediculous treatment of Elliott Bennett. He has performed well enough in most games. But he still gets childish comments about sending him off if he commits a foul. When he makes a mistake, as all our defence do, he is the one that gets panelled. But when he puts a perfect ball on Tosin's head, it is ignored.

"It's alright big man, no matter how many mistakes you make or how bad you play, there will be fans who blame Elliott"

? I agree. If only it was sunny. People would have flocked to pay £46-£48 in the JW stand ! ?

It always amazes my that you like the JW so much?

Yeah part time bastards, I mean they’ve known it was £48 all season, should’ve just saved up.

Why are you suggesting they pay £48. They could have got in for £36.

You must be made of money!!

Lowest home fan attendance of the season.

Yes, and look at what they missed.

At least they could have come along and booed Bennett for F sake. These eejits spend all afternoon and called anything he does wrong, but ignore every other player who does wrong.

But the seem to miss his tackles and his crosses, even the one on Tosin's bunnet. 

And the twIts still shout to have the ref send him off any time the ref is talking to him!!

They unfortunately did turn up.

Not a chance unless it's an absolute hammering which no one wants to see against the only club in lancashire to never see the premier league. 

We're not playing accy are we?

You’re wrong, it would be almost impossible to partially tear an ACL

Actually, from memory, about 1/5th of ACL tears are partial.

I had another bad day with my "imaginary" Booing of El Capitano.

They were at him all game. No matter what he did. In the 1st half he got a talking to from the ref for clattering the winger. They decided to shout to the ref to send him off! They even said they'd rather play with 10 men.

As an aside, before the game my son and I were talking with 2 away fans outside McD's. I said we were a bit weak down our left today. They laughed and said that all their play comes up their right and that our right side would get away with murder.

I think they got it spot on.

I can honestly say that I have never heard anything like that in the Blackburn End so can only presume it was inaudible to him. Booing everytime he got the ball? By how many?

This narrative of our fans not supporting our own players on match days is one that I am oblivious too. Criticising on here on social media is fine, its the place to do it. 

I never said he was booed EVERYTIME he got the ball, you did. But I can assure you that both my son and I I heard it.

BTW, Specsavers now do hearing aids?

My 6 year old grandson even has a hearing aid with the BRFC crest on it!

Bennett had a good game against Millwall, not great, good.

He was still booed by some fans in the BBE before, during and after the game. They paid no attention to what he did. They cheered when he got injured (both times).

So I have no doubt how they will treat him tomorrow. And Bell.

Improved from totally shyte to being well below average, great. All these improvements and bennett still gets a game?

 

Bennett was very good against Millwall, and it was his cross, and a good one at that, which led to the 1st goal.

But we are stuck with Bennett haters. A guy behind me in BBE actually cheered when he went down injured and shouted for him to get off. He also boos when his name is mentioned at the start!

Watch these limited highlights. It even looks like a Bennett masterclass. ?

I doubt Thursday night football vs Slovan Bratislava in the Eujoker league is that appealing to be honest and they're likely to drop out at the group stage. The Turkish league is woeful and playing in it week in week out is not an attractive proposition.

Yes, but at least Netflix would be cheap!

Opens the door for Craig Conway now. Good fit for him.

Only Mogga snaps by lecturing a teenage ball boy in the middle of a game on ‘the importance of values and being a good human being’.

Well, Brian Clough was known too! Maybe a Middlesbrough thing?

I've not read all the comments yet and didn't make the match, which sounds like the not-so-pretty attritional fayre that Warnock teams usually bring to the table. Sounds like we allowed ourselves to be brought down to their level, which is a bit disappointing but not easy to avoid.

Unfortunately, it was exactly how we played against Middlesbrough!
