If EMC is fit not sure he will start over BTA

I agree. Maybe he'll switch BTA to the right but that exposes Milan much more. If Haji's not up to it BTA will start through the middle you'd think, ahead of Simmo, but I don't see why he wouldn't be if he arrived back yesterday.

Break will have done us good - reset fitness wise. Given our squad they are perfect this season, another block of 6 now - then the big slog until Jan 1st (circa 13 games?)

I hope we have a deal or 2 done, ready to drop on Jan 1st so we can freshen up asap.

Win tomorrow, expect us to roll on.

Disagree with this.

BTA has been excellent in his defensive duties this year.

I would play Saka there whenever possible because of his understanding with MvE but BTA has been very good on this wings, attacking and defensively, this season.
yeah, not sure how have our hardest working player in front of him would expose MvE more?

Have they still got that unit of a striker? He caused us issues before.

If we get into Cantwell's head as well, he won't want it.

Do you mean Gallagher? Hes at Stoke now but he used to always play well against us. Not sure if Robins signed him at stoke but would make sense.

Edit* just checked and he came in just before Robins

I had a flick through the Blackburn forum and someone was suggested Cantwell is an injury doubt?

Not really, we haven't been exposed to a hard game since Leicester. BTA played on the left that day. Tats supports MVE well and he's familiar with the job and the position as a winger. Grimes and Kitching cover left back very well at the moment but they can't do both.

You mean the Leicester game where BTA did an outstanding job of supporting JDS in his defensive work against probably the best winger in the league?

Yeah, I'm a fan of EMC but if he played in that game it's quite feasible we come home empty handed.
