Away to Blurrrghburn

[mcflykyle182]

The 2 draws to start the season were ok, i dismissed Forest as a bad day at the office, I was encouraged by some of our QPR play and gritted my teeth and accepted the cup loss last night....
.

....but I can't stand losing to fecking Blackburn.

[Norpig]

It is the first time this season I feel like we are going to lose, the injury front does not look good at all. We are now struggling to put a back four together, having to resort to playing the right back at left back and playing Mills in the middle of defence (this is a player that has not been good enough to get in the squad never mind the team). We have zero creativity in midfield even if Eagles is fit it is going to take him a couple of games to get back up to speed.

I will be backing the lads from start to finish but I just think it will be a forlorn task, Blackburn look to be getting things together, Rhodes is dangerous.....I cannot go on I am depressing myself.

Que Sera Sera whatever will be will be!!

Looks like no Tierney, Wheater or Craig Davies for this one.

Baptiste at left back, Mears at right back I guess.

Who knows if NGog will be fit?

With his net busting record, who cares?

We miss him when he's not in the team, because he's the only bugger who can hold it up.

He also had the best "net busting" record of all our strikers last season.

Beckford I think will get goals this season but he ain't a one up front man for me. Not until we get Moritz into the side behind him, or Mark Davies. So we need NGog at the minute.

To do what exactly? Hold the ball up for who? NGog as a target man to hold the ball up is laughable and given the big hoofs out from the hulk's sister and his mates at the back, that's what he is expected to do!

NGog is pretty good at holding the ball up. Certainly retains it better than Beckford or Craig Davies.

Anyhow on Saturday its going to be a case of needing every fit body possible.

We're going to struggle to put a team out at this rate.

Owen Coyle (remember him?) made it impossible for himself because he lost 'winnable' games. This turned pretty much every single match into the 'vital must win' catagory.

Which he then lost.

Watching us play so far I honestly can't see where the first win is going to come from (should I count Shrewsbury?). Blackburn is now 'must win' if we don't want to have to start playing catch up again.

I feel like an idiot for writing this after only 4 games but fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccckkkkkkk.

Come on Bolton!

I just saw Wheater in Tesco, he looked alright to me

Wish I'd asked him now!

[coffeymagic]

See all this 'sports science' we're all in love with these days?

Is it a case of ruling someone out because they've pulled a cuticle on the Monday before a game?

Is it too much on the side of precaution?

Whatever happend to getting a knee full of cortizone, strapping your ribs up and just getting on with it by running it off?

Sure, some players might have been crippled by the time they were 38 but at least we'd have got some more games out of them?

Jumped up Pre-Madonnas the lot of 'em!

Funny as IIRC in Coyles first full season we had the most consistent starting 11 in the league (or close) we hardly ever had injurys

Didn't we try Ream at left-back in pre-season? Yes yes, I know, but playing (right to left) Baptiste-Knight-Mills-Ream is a change fewer than playing Mears-Knight-Mills-Baptiste.

Mind you, maybe a change will do us good. The big question is whether Mills will step up and save the day. We've been saying Wheat-Knight's a no-no, so let's see how we do with a different combo. Some managers have great decisions thrust upon them...

As for Beckford needing a "feeder" behind him, I agree. So it's a pity he and Ngog played like isolated strangers last week, and let's fervently hope that Eagles is fit for Ewood.

Chance Ream might be out too with the hamstring injury he picked up against QPR, according to the MEN.

We are down to the bare bones.

But according to your primary source, the BN, "Chris Eagles, Tim Ream and David Ngog could come back into play this weekend". 'sall.

I'm going to pervert it even more and call them Pre-Maradonas

[Lord Kangana]

Anyway, I think we'll win. It may be scrappy, lucky, nail bitey, squeaky bummy, but we'll do it. Just because its us, and just because its them, but mostly because if we can stifle them for a half (I know, stretching it, but we can) their crowd will turn quite easily. Then at least we can take come cold comfort from watching the train-crash unfold at Ewoks from afar.

[General Mannerheim]

Id probably go with something like this

--------------Longran------------

Ngog---Eaves---Beckford---Odelusi

Chung---Spearing---Medo---Tits

------Tong Po---Knight----
