Match Thread Blackburn Rovers - Coventry City Match Thread - Friday 17th Apr (27 Viewers)

[Gint11]

Can't say I really envy Blackburn, they remind me of us during our Championship stint in the Early Ricoh/CBS days, down on their luck being a bit neglected from those above and having to watch teams treat them as their 'big day out' as there is room to fit them in their big away end

I used to hate watching clubs bring 7000 fans in the South Stand when our home support was sparse, all the local sides, West Ham, Newcastle the season they come down and a few others spring to mind

Yeah, same. If I was a Blackburn fan I’d be dreading Friday. Late to notice aswell they played last night. Mad they are playing tues/fri.

I think it’s written in the stars we win Friday and clinch it on sky in front of a packed away end. I can just feel it.

1-0 defeat incoming

I've only ever been in the lower section, but there's a hospitality lounge between the two. That's where the away fans paying £140+ will be.

It's a permanent structure, so what ever photos you've seen mustn't be from there.

Sorry, not what I meant. As in, does the Upper Teir have one big concourse? I expect the Upper and Lower to be seperated.

I see the Blackburn game as a step to the title.
Win the next 2 games and it's done.
Draw one of them and we will probably win the league if and when Ipswich drop points. They have 2 games between our last 2 home games and unless they win both we will become champions when not playing.
I know many of you going to Blackburn would take a draw but look at the bigger picture - win it and we can win the league next Tuesday at home.

Agree but I’m still holding out hope Boro won’t continue their epic bottle job run

I'm sure that Lampard was rallying the boys this morning, following that Ipswich game saying... there you go lads, go and grab it. They should all be absolutely desperate to be in that 11 for Friday, playing in the game in front of 7k away fans that SHOULD confirm it and get us 90% of the way to league title.

 

[wingy]

We'll be on hot coral for this one surely?

Might have to change the smoke bombs.

Ooh they'll be looking for you

We’ve been over 90% title with OPTA for weeks maybe even months I’ve lost track

Title only the last few weeks

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Title only the last few weeks

Its been the last month or so hasnt it?

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

I tihnk we win this 2-0. Lampard didn't sound happy on saturday, and as i've said in another thread, we almost looked like we just thought we'd turn up and win.

We'll be up for this and get settled with an early goal, Wright and BTA for me.

 

[Offhegoes]

Simms & Sakamoto (if fit) to come in.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Those sorts of games happen. We should be beating Blackburn regardless.

Assume you're going to have a bet on it then?!

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Yes I've got us down for a win

It’s no different to playing on Saturday and then Tuesday.

Or Wednesday to Saturday

Don’t think is common to play Tuesday and Friday? Maybe Tuesday and Saturday lunchtime or Wednesday night and Saturday afternoon, but not tues/fri

Have we done that ourselves, Friday night's are usually good to us, don't know about away though.

We win and the title is nearly there especially as three of the top 5 as insistant on making things hard for themselves. However, that draws Blackburn into the relegation mix and gives Lester a lifeline. Therefore, as a draw would be enough to promote us i'm going for a draw, either 0-0 or 1-1.

Why do we give a shit about Leicester? They will relegate themselves without our help.

Beating Blackburn and Portsmouth is all that matters.

 

[wingy]

Two up top Haji on the left EMC or other on the right tats if he's available substitute after 70mins if necessary Simms BTA. Failing this 4across the park defence any one from about six
Way to go get at them from the off!
4-4-2, interchangable players if needed both on the pitch or off it!

 

[sotvtoday]

Dasilva delivered two perfect low crosses against Sheff Wed but Hadji was way behind both. (Same with one from MzVE on the right

... and at Hull.

We’d clearly all rather have Ipswich and Southampton both fighting in the playoffs than having both come up. C’mon Boro
