Bobby Madley - shit!

Re: BLACKBURN ROVERS v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

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 downbeat

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.

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
