This is going to shock a few - I think we and particularly MR have learnt a great deal in the first 6 games - In-fact if we had taken an few of our easy chances in a number of games or the luck was with us we would be a great deal further up the table - Bournemouth is the only game we looked off the pace and gave them far too much respect, also our fitness levels and defensive organisation wasn’t quite right -If you remember back to the first 6 games of last season we were not world beaters and looked very ordinary. and the luck certainly went for us on occasions. Today we start moving up the table and I see a top 6 finish

I do hope you end up being correct with your predictions. I agree that MR teams of the last few seasons seem to start the season slow and then pick up the pace and finish the season strong. I'd really like to see that this season as well. We are clearly getting used to the pace, strength and power of the teams in this league and our fitness levels need to improve. I think once we have learned to play against the press, get over our injuries/suspensions and maybe with a key loanee/signing added in Jan we could mount a late challenge in this division. But I'd really take surviving this season over any lofty expectations of a top 6 finish. Last season, Luton who came up as champs from L1 were almost certain to go down, but survived. They seem to have adjusted well in their 2nd season now. The Championship is widely considered to be the toughest division in the world to play in. The gulf in talent from League 1 to this division is huge. Not only are you competing against teams that just came down from the Premiership or have just missed out on getting promoted to the Premiership, but against teams that have multi-million pound signings amongst their ranks and owners with deep pockets. So all things considered, the main priority has to be survival at all costs.

Mum's side are from Blackburn so it's the family derby today. My uncle (who was actually in Lieutenant Pigeon for those old enough to remember) had a season ticket up there from the mid-80s until we lost him to cancer a couple of years ago. This is the first game between us since he died so fairly poignant for me.

Having said that he loved a moan about the football so I hope we dick them 5-0

Kelly in for Shipley

Bapaga on the bench too, might be good for the last 10 minutes but I guess it will be Baka for Allen

As expected. Bapaga on the bench perhaps a little surprising.

It doesn’t look great for Hilssner or Jobello really if Bapaga is preferred after 1 U23 game when they’ve played the last 3

how long did Hilssner play for? That may have been a factor.

Only a shoulder injury I doubt his overall fitness was much impacted.

Hilßner and Jobello are building cardio fitness and coming back after a year respectively. Nuts to compare the two.

Very different sort of injuries though, Bapaga will have been able to keep pretty fit with a dislocated shoulder.

Ahhhh, i remember it will. Blackburn complaining (after the match) that the pitch was too icy despite a Zimbabwean scoring 3 of the 5. Happy days.

I'm confused. I thought we had 5 different scorers that day?

We have no idea who played for how long yesterday annoyingly as no report anywhere.

Also Bapage has ten ton of speed. What is what we need at the moment.

Bapaga is a natural fit for our system and Hilßner was bought in with ACM in mind. I don’t quite see how Jobello would fit, he’s such a natural winger.

Not sure I'm keen on McCallum playing RB again, but guess we are limited with options and is perhaps the better alternative to Pask

How long is Dabo expected to be unavailable for?
