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.

Apparently there are some industrial units on Branch Road that offer parking.

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.

Got to go strong really. I’d keep Collins in goal
Collins
MVE Thomas Kitching Bidwell
Sheaf Eccles
Palmer O’Hare Wright
Simms

Put that Perry on the bench as backup centre half

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?

going for a 2-0 loss! And due to injuries and fatigue, we will lose by a good margin v Ipswich… sorry all, just think that both these teams will take every error, slip up and punish us.

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.

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.

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.

Does the Man Utd game count as a loss? Is O'Hare 'fit'?

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.

Why would you risk injuring the likes of Simms, Wright and MVE who are totally knackered and potentially at risk of injury in a meaningless match?
How would you feel if they were played and got injured?
Expect a weak lineup.

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.
