You’ll get your next win at Norwich, as long as all your players face the right way then you’ll win. 

This isn't a given mind.

I’ve got a confession to make. After trips to Hull and Millwall last week my ‘LTID’ attitude has waned so I’ve shared season ticket with friends. 
 

This means that we’re guaranteed to have a cracking game and Daka will score  

[Vowels]

I just want us to play a rigid 4-4-2 now for a laugh.

[Vindaloo FOX]

3-1 Blackburn 

[goog]

Stolarczyk;

 

Ricardo, Faes, Vestergaard, L Thomas

 

Winks, Soumare, James.

 

Fatawu, Daka, Mavididi.

 

I think will be the team. 

[Raj]

Are Blackburn fans still p1ssed off with their owners?

The Sidnei Tavares Derby. Winnit

Why stop there?

 

Lets go for the Dean Smith 4-3-3. Get all three strikers playing.

Good opportunity to start playing Nelson, Vestergaard and Faes to start obviously 

[AbbeyFox]

Another miserable lunchtime kick off where, despite knowing better I will allow some small modicum of hope I will see some attacking football a few goals, a few shots and a win, but instead come out the ground with heartburn, a sore throat, and a refusal to watch another match again (til Tuesday where I do it all again)

[Foxes96]

Without a recognised 10 would switch to 3-4-3 formation.

 

Almost a shame Page and Evans are with the Eng u17 World Cup squad as would’ve liked to have included them in the matchday squad as well. Although will be a good experience for them, and hopefully Evans will be used in the squad when Daka goes off to AFCON.  

 

 

                    Stolarczyk 

      Okoli - Vestergaard - Nelson 

Ricardo  -  Winks  -  James  -  Aluko 

     Fatawu -  Carranza  - Mavididi 

[AbbeyFox]

The only way the fans will get onside is attacking and playing the youngsters. Aluko, Page, Evans, Nelson etc, get them in and ditch Faes, Soumare, Daka and Thomas.

 

We all know it will be the same garbage line up with Ramsey injured that's one more goal threat gone and no doubt will be replaced by Soumare or Skipp.

[AbbeyFox]

Edit- forgot about the world cup, but let's face it they wouldn't be included anyway, otherwise they would have been already.

[Haywood_6]

Is Ramsey injured for this?

[Dan]

Think he'll drop Thomas, a change so obvious but it will still qualify as 'progress', despite a reintroduction of Soumare and Faes. Reckon Daka wins the striker lucky dip.

 

0-1 defeat.

Imagine Ayew in the 10 role behind Daka. It gets the pulse racing doesnt it

Especially if your name is 'Valerien Ismael'

 But we need him for his famous hold up play, where he runs to the wing and refuses to pass to anyone.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see James in the 10 and Soumare next to Winks.

And falls over.

 

This guy really had a cult following. One game someone next to me spent the whole game shouting 'Gooo on JORDAN!' everytime he got the ball, took photos of him all game and ignored everyone else on the pitch.

 

Against Wrexham, he messed up a the end and miscontolled for a throw in. Someone near me shouted 'Don't worry Jordan, im sure everything will be ok next time'.

 

And don't get me started on the ole ole chant every time he does something without falling over.

Both equally gruesome.

 

Not a fan of the 3 at the back idea but maybe it's worth looking at, especially if Blackburn intend to sit deep.

-----Okoli Vesty Faes (ideally Nelson as one of the 3 but i'm dreaming)

Ricardo James Winks VK

 

--Fatawu Whoever Monga

[FoxinNotts]

I'd go with:

 

                       Stolarcryk 

Ricardo - Okoli - Vestergaard - Aluko

                James - Winks

         Fatawu - BDCR - Mavididi 

                          Daka

Subs:

Begovic.

Faes. Nelson Kristiansen/Thomas

Choudhury. Skipp  

Monga 

Ayew. Carranza

 

Not much creativity there, but what can we do?

[Sol thewall Bamba]

I'd pick:

 

Jakub, Ricardo, Vestergaard, Nelson, VK, Winks, Monga, Mavididi, Fatawu, Ajew (begrudgingly). 

 

It will be:

 

Jakub, Ricardo, Faes, Vestergaard, Thomas, Soumare, Winks, Fatawu, James, Monga, Daka. 

 

(We crippled ourselves financially to put out that line up).
