It's against Portos reserve team, not kids.

I wonder if we will play a strong side tonight. I don't see why we need to rest players because of the world cup, as has been suggested. Certainly the ones that came off the bench on Sunday could play. If we use too many U18s, I will be disappointed.

Everyone has an intense, historical, dislike of England. You don't become a super-power by making friends.

The only problem with your theory, is that the third place and last 16, are facts. Your view of what might happen is supposition.

I can't believe the Rovers are asking for bids for last Sundays shirts, they will be lucky to give them away. A better way to raise some money would be ,if the players that disgraced those shirts on Sunday, donated their weeks wage.

I'm going to Thailand.

Will you answer these questions before half season tickets are sold ?

What did you learn from Sunday ?

Sorry, comedic licence.

Get a smaller mirror.

Why !!!

I thought it was a Blackburn Rovers fans forum. We are allowed to diversify.

I don't think that people are expecting Wharton to single-handedly win the game. Just that he/they, would have been more effective than what was picked. Anyway, bring on the Nobbers. We could be top by new year.

He was probably concentrating on the £30 per ticket against Preston, to take his mind off the shit-show.

Mola looks better at left sided midfield, than he does at center-back.

More importantly we are not getting back to 12,000 season ticket holders, playing around at the back.

At least we have saved Adam Wharton for the Porto game on Wednesday.

That doesn't make him a center-back, he gets drawn out of position too easily, he leaves gaps in the middle of defence. I would compare Mola to a left sided Nyambe.

Yes you are missing something. From what I have seen, Mola has filled in at center-half, he is much stronger on the left side, as a full-back, wing-back or left sided midfielder.

That doesn't mean he is starting there today. He may or he may not.

Who says Mola is starting at center-back ?

Speedy left-back, Batty. Left sided midfielder, Mola. I agree that we could do with a center-forward.

What are the loss percentages ? Statistics eh !

I stick by my statement.

I didn't say we wouldn't be weakened without Diaz. Just that we would still have a good chance of promotion.
