    FT: BLACKBURN ROVERS 0 - 0 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

    Blackburn manager Tony Mowbray is optimistic Tosin Adarabioyo and Ben Brereton will be available after missing out midweek due to injuries.

    On-loan Greg Cunningham is ineligible to play against his parent club.

    Cardiff midfielder Marlon Pack (hamstring) faces two months out, joining Neil Etheridge (hamstring) on the sidelines.

    Callum Paterson (knee) looks likely to miss out and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing (hamstring) will be assessed.

    Match facts

    • Blackburn Rovers are winless in nine games against Cardiff in all competitions (W0 D4 L5) since a 3-2 victory in the FA Cup in January 2005.
    • The last three Championship meetings between Blackburn and Cardiff at Ewood Park have ended 1-1.
    • All three of Blackburn's Championship goals this season have been scored via set-pieces - they are yet to find the net in open play, attempting 35 shots without success.
    • Cardiff have lost both of their away games in the Championship this season (3-2 v Wigan and 3-0 v Reading) - they have not lost their opening three away games to a season since 1984-85, when they were relegated to the third tier.
    • Blackburn's Danny Graham has been directly involved in four goals in his last four league starts versus Cardiff (three goals, one assist), including netting for Blackburn in August 2016.
    • Cardiff manager Neil Warnock won four of his first five league matches against Blackburn (W4 D0 L1) but has won none of his last eight against them (W0 D6 L2).

    On all betting I have this down as a straight draw. Teams have sussed out how easy it is to move the ball through City. But set pieces will save this one.

    Yes, that's not far from the team I would play. Will be good to see Hoilett starting. Guess Warnock has been easy on him so far due to his summer exertions. Will add more to our defence on the left.

    How many times must it be said, “Hoilett is NOT a 90 minute player !!!! He has not got the concentration levels to start a game.”

    These days, he is a 15/20 minute end of the game impact player only

    Please, please do not start him

    Given NML is probably out, and Whyte looks far too lightweight and weak on the ball to be playing a very tough away game which will require a lot of defensive discipline, I'd be a lot more comfortable with Hoilett than any other option. He doesn't have to play the full 90, but starting he would give us a much more stable midfield.

    So did a number of players I've also put in my team. Shall they also not start because of one shambolic performance? Nelson and Connolly back 2 it is!!

    Over exaggerating won’t win a debate !!!!

    Hoilett has come on late in two games and won us 4 points, so why change a winning formula.

    He is best used when opposition players are tired

    He is also far more defensively disciplined than any other winger we have. This is our biggest test, and lightweight players will not cut the mustard.

    If you say so, it must be true

    I think Junior is now better as an impact player.

    Thing is, you said 'over exaggerating' won't win a debate, but all you've done is said no in a number of different ways, without actually offering an alternative, so your opinion means nish unless you care to share your expansive footballing knowledge.

    Started well again. Some nice passing. Lets hope we keep it up.

    Where are the Blackburn fans? Where are the ball boys? This feels like watching the U18's.

    Not much atmosphere at the game. Welshcake is right. It feels like a pre season friendly at the moment. Holding our own at the moment and some decent passing.

    Re: BLACKBURN ROVERS v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

    A great positive run by Ralls and unlucky not to find a man or get more from his follow up shot. Come on City!
