Been a long time since we won at Ewood Park. December 2012 to be precise.
I reckon Riza will have given the squad both barrels so they're much more fired up for this game.
So inevitably a red card in the first 10 minutes
At least Weimann's not playing - he always seems to score against us.
Ralls and Turnbull possibly available.
Got a weird feeling we'll win this one...
Would be happy with a reaction from the players and a point.
Another feeble defeat would be hard to recover from
Horvath
Rinomhota
Fish
Bagan
O'Dowda
Chambers
Mannsverk
Robertson
Davies
Robinson
Ashford
In truth couldn't care less who lines up in defence as they're all absolute shit, maybe Bagan aside. I'll go for 3-0 Blackburn, because of course we'll give Ismael his first win.
Horvarth
Ng
Goutas
Fish
O'Dowda
Chambers
Colwill
Alves Robinson Ashford
Salech
We will make a slow start and end up behind before coming back into the game only to concede a sloppy, soft as shit goal to lose it.
Riza will look for a response and there'll be one for 20 minutes but won't score, then Blackburn will respond and we won't be able to respond to their response and we'll lose 1-0.
If Blackburn could gift us a couple of goals like this one it would be much appreciated

In the first 20 minutes we'll all be saying how much better it is compared with the Luton game (could hardly get worse I suppose).
We'll hit the woodwork (again), have a penalty claim turned down, and come close on a couple of occasions.
The final 15 minutes will see things more evenly matched, but without any goals.
So a first-half where we huffed & puffed without managing to blow the house down.
Second-half we will revert to type and start to look increasingly disjointed, inviting Blackburn on to us.
Blackburn 1 - 0 City
I really do not think it will make any difference what team Riza puts out. We will lose and he will be gone by Monday.
