Win is the only result...the 1st of 3 in a trio that I'm looking to get some odds on for a bet.

Blackburn are fighting for survival too; they won't just roll over and I expect them to give us some problems in a very tense game. We've been here many times; as supporters we know what we have to do to get behind the team.

After plenty of squeaky bum moments, a 3-1 win :crest:

Got to keep Sears in the side - he's earned it with his performances in the past two tough games, and besides, who do you want running his b*llocks off to keep the club up - a true blue hammer or Obinna who's already on the plane to Napoli? For the same reasons, Tomkins over Upson even if Captain Average recovers from his big knock/massive pussying out [delete to suit your prejudices]. Obviously Parker back in. Sorted.

Agreed with Sears. :thup:
If Parker's back, would you keep Specs in midfield? How about LBM?

For me, Upson has to dropped even he is fit. Utter dog ***** and the fact he is captain gives a bad vibe to the whole team.

For me, it's a 4-3-3 (can also easily revert into a 4-5-1 when in defence).

----------------------Green---------------------
Jacobsen--Tomkins--Da Costa--Bdrige
-------------Spector--Parker--Hitz----------
Sears----------------Ba-----------------Boa

For me, Boa will track back and give Bridge the support he needs and he did put a good ball today for the short time he was on the left. Ba was our biggest threat in the centre today and this was shown in his goal which was a great finish.

The way we played today has convinced me we have enough quality (even w/o parker) to get 3 points here. Either way I'll be in the STBL singing until I have no voice.

Have a good one mate. Get yourself a chicken tikka massala while you're at it

I like your positivity, there's so many miserable bastards on here.

I'd play Cole ahead of Keane TBH - but I really don't see us losing.

A draw will be ok....so long as we beat Wigan a week later.

A loss would be the most astonishing result of the season.

We are at home and we need to win I want an attacking line up get out there and be positive and we can win.I don't want to see no 4-5-1 with Ba our best striker on the left get him upfront.

.............................................Green..........................................

....Jac....................Da Costa..................Tomkins.....................Bridge...


...Sears................Parker (C)..................Hitz............................Obinna..


...............................Cole.......................Ba..........................................

Here we are,this is it,squeaky bum time.*
Give the ball to Ba and let him deliver the hammer blow.

*and remember to keep it tight at the back

Ba up front in à classic center role = win.

How impressed I've ever been by Sears I'm little bit frightened to leave him and Jac with Martin Olsson WHO won the game alone for Blackburn against Bolton.

Sorry to be a kill-joy but heart & head tell me it'll be a disappointing performance and a 2-1 defeat. :(
