Fulham will control possession of the ball and we will have around 30 to 35% of possession in the game. We need to solid, defensive and tactical sound. Like I said earlier in the week going 4-4-2 against them is stupid and daft cos they will rip us apart in the 1st 20 mins and the game will be done. We have to approach this game like away side. Play on the counter attack and we will get chances. Fulham play it out from the back from keeper so pressing high at the right times need to be done. Very similar to Brentford at home game last season and we will win this one.

Yes Rovers academy does take roughly 3 millions per year to run. We get about 1.1 million in grants in for the academy so it cost 2 millions to run from the club point of view. Leicester paid 1.1 million pounds for Rovers academy player Callum Wright 2 years ago and so far to my knowledge hasn't made into the first team. You compare us to Liverpool and we are in the same under 23's league and we are 7th in the league whilst they are ONLY 6th in the league despite Liverpool spending alot more money on their academy than us I would imagine. We are also in the same under 18's league as Liverpool just for the record. And No I didn't see the Liverpool FA cup game due to working last night. How many PL clubs are actually producing their talent and bring them through? not very many. Rankin Costello and Buckley will be good players for us going forward IMO. When I mention Talent coming through I meant players like Isaac Whitehall, Sam Barnes, Lewis Thompson, Luke Brennan. Plus Joe Hilton, the keeper we pick up in the summer look a great prospect and somewhere I think could be 1st team keeper here. Think you will find most sports players are never 100% fit. I think Jimmy Anderson(could be wrong) said this some time ago. Think How could the Sports Science department prevent the latest Dack or Evans injuries? I would like an answer to this please. Sadly you very happy to knock everything Blackburn Rovers do. I wont. As a fan who try to get to many academy and under 23 games as I can over the past seasons I can see improve year on year from players like Travis, Fisher, Hilton(only this season), Buckley, Butterworth. Sadly the 6 months I haven't been to has many as I would have like. Hopefully one day we can meet up at academy game and discuss our views.

Or we could continue to get our young players a chance in team?

Why?

Does it matter?

What wrong with Academy director Stuart Jones and head of Sports Science Andrew Mitchell? We have good youth players coming through and IMO some players who could become 1st team players in the future. On the injuries, Dack, Holtby and Rothwell injuries all happened during games. Blame Morsy for Dack's injury. How could Evans injury been avoid Mercer? Rothwell's injury went he made a tackle We aren't going to agree on Mowbray so we have to agree to disagree.

I don't know who you are firstly. Who came 1st? In my opinion the Coventry situation is very different. Content? Not interested in drizzle cake at all.

I have asked people attend the Supporters consultation meeting at Rovers on Thursday to raise the issue. See what happen after.

Can you please explain this comment? My info from Paul Senior is that choose Mowbray and he was his 1st choice. I can send ur a dm with this info if you wish.

I have posted my team in the match thread which is the appropriate thread to post it in not the Holtby thread imo.

Walton Nyambe Lenihan Adarabioyo Bell Johnson Travis Downing Gallagher Rankin Costello Armstrong Play similar to the way we did last season against Brentford when we won 1 nil.

Why would you want 2 up front against Fulham where we would put numbered in centre midfield and allow Cairney far too much space. Better playing 4-3-3 against them

Exactly. You are spot on. Also we cant keep signing players when it clear players have to leave. Cant have loads of players People have mentioned Maddison on here for 18 months and we never bid for him I believe. It took him ages to find a move to championship club considering his stats(which you love to judge players with) over 2 and half years. Wonder why if he that's good? Clarke, Spurs wanted to loan to club in London so they can mention him most closer. Brewster was always to Swansea cos of his relationship with their head coach Cooper from their England days. You are very good at throwing out players name without considering the budget we have, Money available for targets, have we scouted him, wages, etc. Why we keep going around and around discussing the same issues day after day I don't know. Fact of the matter we didn't sign anyone despite us putting bids in for players. Now it gives opportunity for youth players coming through now. Obvisouly it would be great to sign a couple of players but I do agree with Rovers not over paying for players like so many do in January window.

All you do just repeat the same old points day after day. Back to that broken record yet again. You just don't stop going on and on. To be quite honest I still devastated by the news about Tony Parkes having alzheimer. I am more interested in trying to get Rovers to recognise Tony Parked whether a match for him or have a normal match day and make to Tony Parkes day. Raise money for Alzheimer and maybe rename the Riverside stand the Tony Parkes stand as another Rovers fan has suggested. That's more my focus this week and the future weeks.

Firstly you are broken record keep going on about Gallagher day after day. Its getting to the point where it getting boring. We have been over this Bell and Nyambe zero assists thing about a month ago. Yet again what's the point going over the same issues time after time. Another broken record of yours. That's the way Mowbray plays isn't a defence but Fact. really ineffective tactic? We are 10th in the league and a chance of the playoffs this season. Can't believe that ineffective came it. My Way would be 1 winger like Jed Wallace type. Then a Rothwell or Rankin Costello on the left cutting and drifting inside. Data Analysis and Technical/Tactical Video booths are there for Players to learn about the performance, how they can get better and improve the play whether its positionally or What runs to make or etc? Gallagher is willing to work on his game and learn whatever position he is asked to play cos he just wants to play. Obvisouly he would like to play up front but he is willing play anywhere as he just want to play the football. You are obsess with stats so look and research it pal

Great Idea by this fan

Part 2

Meant as a partnership Dack and Graham. Gallagher starts on right but plays more like inside forward. Never played as a winger. Our full backs provide the wide in our team. That's the way Mowbray plays. You are never going to replace Graham like for like anyway. Gallagher has to learn of him more. Before I suspect Graham moves on. On wingers, I wouldn't mind seeing a winger on the right side if Rothwell is on the left side. Need 1 in the summer. No more. When Buckley or Holtby play wide then don't stay but play more inside. Allowing our full backs forward.. It perfect sense playing Armstrong up front where he can score goals(more), use his pace and movement. Leaving space behind for Rothwell and Holtby to creative. Like we did at Sheffield Wednesday away

Mention every day since he signed probably. Sound like a broken record.

I would be looking to give Thompson and Hilton a game or 2 before season is out and if we can't make playoffs Brereton needs to step up if he going to be here next season

Armstrong is striker and natural finisher. He played wide cos of Dack and Graham partnership. Now with both unavailable Armstrong gone up front now and we are getting benefits of this. Wingers? We don't play with natural wingers anyway. Never been Mowbray's way here Gallagher was signed to replace Graham I guess. But we are moving away from the way we played when Graham and Dack was up front..you can see this from the start of the season to now.
