Has anyone watched them much this season?

 

Are we expecting an end to end game or will they play a low block & try to hit on the counter?

End to end if they set up as they have done recently. Like ridiculously attacking. Let a lot in but score a lot

They've got the highest xg in the league. They're a good side that are starting to click. Tricky game.

Obviously I'm getting them from the wrong place!

Jon Dahl Tomasson (their coach) said in Danish media before season start, that he was sorry for the blackburn fans, because they wouldnt get the funding to improve the team. On that note would I think the side to be weaker than last year and therefore should we get the 3 points again. 

 

[OwnGoal]

Vestergaard masterclass and a 2-0 win. 

[Happy Fox]

3-1 win I reckon we are far too good for Blackburn and the rest of the teams in this league hopefully by the time we get to the FA Cup 3rd round in January and draw a bottom half premier league team that will show us what we can do.

Wow! I knew Coalville is a bit further from the city, but has its own time zone!! 

Yes, 1950.

[Pliskin]

I think the Liverpool game will actually help us. Keep the feet on the ground and the objective clear. 
 

I think the lads will want to get back to winning ways too after the defeat. 
 

I think Blackburn will give up a lot of chances, we just need to be clinical, and try and control the game. 
 

In other words….

Think Coady can only really play in the centre of the in-possession back 3 and I'm not sure about Faes on the left. Harsh on Vestergaard, but can see him coming out, JJ on the left and Faes on the right of the 3 with Coady central.

Slowest recorded back line ever? 

[LVFox]

Can see these causing us some problems, good attacking side but I also expect us to score at least 2.

 

3-2 win.

 

                   Hermansen 

Justin Vestegaard Faes Ricardo

                       Winks 

              Ndidi.         KDH

Fatawu.                           Mavididi

                       Vardy

[Finnegan]

Hermansen 

Justin, Vestergaard, Faes

Winks, Ricardo

Fatawu, Ndidi, KDH, Mavididi, 

Vardy

 

Just flip the defence. Don't think Faes is super side dependent, Ricky inverts from the LB spot instead, JJ does the Doyle thing from RB. 

 

Otherwise unchanged from Bristol. Feels a bit harsh on Macca after scoring again but I think Mavididi’s all round game is too important to us and he has attributes the others all lack a bit. 

 

[RowlattsFox]

Justin for Doyle and then decide if you want to play Ricardo from the left. 

 

McAteer instead of Fatatwu, think that will be our go to away from home for the time being. 

[Lcfc-1992]

I would play Hamza in the Ricardo role. Still not confident with him playing game after game

 

Hope Enzo isn’t relying on Justin and Ricardo to cover the Doyle injury

Didn't realise this was on the box at breakfast time on Sunday.

 

Beer for breakfast it is then. Nice.

The way this lot come and attack and keep attacking even when 2 or 3 goals down, will be interesting. 

 

 

Must be a wet dream for maresca

Tough game this one. Blackburn is a horrible place to go to, particularly if the weather is shite.

I think it’ll be a Desmond 

You always think it'll be a Desmond 🤣

 

Tbf, I always went for 3-1 win when I was a lad and bet on it. I imagine you will be in for some cash whenever we get a Desmond?

[Drink Water]

Let this be our revenge for them humiliating us in the FA Cup last season 

 

That deffo should have been a wake up call to Brenda that we were sleepwalking to relegation, being kicked out the Cup by a Championship team.

[adejo92]

A good team on their day, and I don't doubt they can punish teams, but they have still lost a few games this season & sit 14th so unlike most here, I'd probably be disappointed with a draw.

[Stadt]

They're 2-0-2 at home and they've conceded 7 in those 4 games. We should be winning this. They usually have the lions share of the possession which they obviously won't have against us.

I'd take a Desmond (Tutu) at a pinch but not a Desmond (Doss) ta.

[Lionator]

Waiting for the @StriderHiryu analysis but I suspect Blackburn set up in a way which would play right into our hands aka leaving a lot of space.
