perhaps we'll start with the team we finished with in the previous meet
Bobby Madley - shit!
Usually pretty pessimistic about our chances at the best of times, but I just don't see us getting anything from an erratic Blackburn.
Starting with Ugbo means we will have noone to lead the line. I realise the manager likes a big target man, but I would rather play Meite or Robinson as they offer far more than Ugbo. Glad that Etete should be back next week we need him.
Well we won 4-1 last time Noone started for us at Ewood Park so don't be too downbeatOriginally Posted by Former Labour leader
Lol
Seems we do have Meite available so I am he will start up top.
2-1 Blackburn
Meite is available? That's a welcome surprise.
all we need now is sawyers to start too. dream team...or rather zzzz team
In all fairness, I think Meite offers more than Sawyers.
My thoughts exactly - we may as well let Blackburn have the points now.
I think Meite looked decent last couple of matches. Happy to see him start in place of Ugbo.
Hope Sawyers nowhere near team.
It’s absolutely smashing down. Fingers crossed for this one
A bit unfair. I think Meite at times has looked like our best option as a lone striker and has done a solid job for us out wide. He's missed a couple of chances but he'll come good
Yeah, at least he is getting chances - he will hit a hot finishing streak sooner or later and people will be saying he's amazing
MATCH FACTS
- Blackburn are unbeaten in their last seven home league games against Cardiff (W2 D5) since a 4-1 defeat in December 2012
- Cardiff City have won one of their last nine league matches against Blackburn (D4 L4), a 1-0 win in October 2022.
- Blackburn Rovers have lost their last two home league matches - they haven't lost three in a row on home soil since February/March 2019 under Tony Mowbray.
- There have been 75 passes combined in the build ups to Cardiff's 17 league goals this season, the third-most of any Championship side, behind Leicester (125) and Hull (76).
- Blackburn's Sammie Szmodics has been involved in 10 goals in his last 12 league appearances (7 goals, 3 assists) and has the most goals and assists combined (7 goals, 2 assists) in the Championship this season.
Our record at Blackburn not good, so fingers xed.
Either win or loss. Not a draw for me.
Alnwick; Ng, McGuinness, Goutas, Collins; Siopis, Ralls, Wintle; Bowler, Ugbo, Grant.
Subs: Runarsson, Panzo, Romeo, Rinomhota, Adams, R. Colwill, Tanner, Meite, Robinson.
Still don't like that midfield, but no surprise.
Bowler starts.
Wtf Ugbo up top.
Meite not 100%?
where would you like him
Nowhere near the team.where would you like him
Take the draw now but I think it's a bit like the Liverpool v Everton game in that everybody expects a home win and I expect the referee to favour them just like Pawson
Cannot see anything more than a draw.
It’s impossible to see anything but a draw (or loss of course) unless the subs come on in good time.Take the draw now but I think it's a bit like the Liverpool v Everton game in that everybody expects a home win and I expect the referee to favour them just like Pawson
