Thanks in advance.

Somewhere in front of our goal please
I think quite a few will be carrying knocks or knackered and will be rested. So expect a weak team and probably a loss.
But please let’s see a fairly solid defensive display and no howlers.
Up to MR whether Collins will benefit from a mental rest. Another cock up or two might be quite damaging. Including losing the fans.

So, Tavares is long term, Torp has tweaked a muscle, Binks has a tight Achilles and Lati has been playing injured for a while.
Genuinely feel for Fabio, the lad has come back, bided his time and has done fairly well. Now he’s probably out for a while, again.
Regarding Lati - do any of the persons who have slated this lad, and taken the piss out of him constantly, have anything to say?
He's been playing injured for a while, probably since he suddenly ‘became shit’ in the reactive eyeballs of the expert analysers on here. Still putting in a shift and doing his best for your club, despite carrying an injury, that has now been aggravated.
Bunch of arse.Does that mean he's gonna miss the next game??So, Tavares is long term, Torp has tweaked a muscle, Binks has a tight Achilles and Lati has been playing injured for a while.

I hope we don’t just throw in the towel and put out shit sides for the rest of the season. 1 win in 8 to end the season would be very disappointing.
Pick the strongest possible team from the start and then take players off as and when they need to, like Sheaf this week. And for heaven’s sake can we please not score the other side’s goals for them for once?
Robins has said yes, probably. It’s in the article linked.
EDIT: it doesn’t say it verbatim in the article, but one would assume that if he’s aggravated an existing injury, he won’t be available.
It has to be Blackburn. Those are the rules. We're not allowed to play anyone else
If we could choose, we'd all go for Rotherham obviously.
Such a shame for Tavares who was finally showing he is a good player.So, Tavares is long term, Torp has tweaked a muscle, Binks has a tight Achilles and Lati has been playing injured for a while.

Absolutely right on Latibeaudiere. Classic over playing injury and shows why we have to manage players minutes. Robins was right in January to say the squad is too small and it wasn't fair in the players as it meant they would not be able to rotate sufficiently.
Plus he didn't have a summer break. He pretty much came straight from that gold cup thing last summer. Think people have been unfairly harsh on him personally
Agree. When we kick off on Saturday, Blackburn will have had 7 days rest, whilst we will have played 2 games (plus extra time) in the previous 6 days. That is why any expectations need to be tempered with a large dose of reality. Not making excuses for them, but only an idiot would ignore that. A bookie would love anyone putting money on City getting any kind of result.
- Fernhurst – 466 Bolton Road, BB2 4JP
- Golden Cup Inn – 610 Blackburn Road, BB3 0AJ
- The Black Bull – Broken Stone Road, BB3 0LL
- Postal Order – 15-19 Darwen Street, BB2 2BY
- Fox & Hounds – Ewood, BB2 4LL
- Brown Cow Livesey – Livesey Branch Road, BB2 4LU
- The Navigation Inn – 2 Canal Street, BB2 4DL
Think we are aiming for the Golden Cup.
In terms of momentum, 7 defeats in 8 (if that's what it ends up being) won't have any impact on the start of next season. It'll be a couple of months later, lots will have happened and it'll have quickly been forgotten.
Bar Luton, we had a great end to last season and that momentum didn't exactly translate into a great start this season.
I see the argument for finishing the season as strong as possible but also understand about keeping the better players free from injury in what are potentially meaningless games. I guess this one could still be meaningful to be fair.

Don’t think we’ll lose. I think losing four in a row will be something the squad want to stop regardless of whether we can make the playoffs. Haji, Simms, O’Hare, MvE should all be fit to start. Gritty 1-1 for me.
Car Park F. 12 quid. Given that the match tickets are so cheap, it makes sense to buy it.
phone BRFC and book your ticket.
A bit more chaos and a 2-2 draw. Assuming Binks, Lati and Torp won't make it:
Collins
MvE Thomas Kitching Bidwell
Eccles Kelly
Palmer O'Hare Wright
Simms
Torn between starting Sheaf or Kelly but Sheaf was royally fucked when he went off on Wednesday and I'd rather him only have half hour here and be rested for Ipswich. Sounds like O'hare was fully rested after running 17km at Wembley and might be available, if not stick Allen in.

I assume a week off will be enough to come back from running 17k on Sunday. And yeah, cos we’re out of the cup.
Fernhurst is nearest the away end but if you arrive after 12 it’s usual full and they operate 1 in 1 out then so
I wouldn’t bother.
I think we have to play a strong team as it would be unfair on others not to do so and it goes to the integrity of the league.
With all due respect to the league, they can fuck off.
Maybe wrong but from history Robins expects players to play with minor niggles. Hope that's not the case as it would hit our potential for next season if we have to start with key men missing (assuming minor injuries get aggravated).
It is a good opportunity to give starts to one or two youngsters. Maybe easier away from home than in front of home fans.
