Not being greedy, even at Christmas, I'll settle for the longest run without conceding a goal for 100 years.

Rhodes is clearly the main threat (maybe Wheater's task?) and they are likely to be quick out of the blocks, given that's what worked for them v Charlton last week.

Gestede is their main threat.

Apologies but I'm not feeling confident about this one.

I'd say the main threat from the dingles is Campylobacter, bit of a dirty barsteward it seems!

from a bloke on the Blackburn forum re Emile & Eidur:
Agree totally mate...I've seen both of them in the last couple of weeks playing for notlob u21 in Leyland and both of them are unfit, eidur looks a bit overweight and they both have limited mobility even at that level. Our defence should be shot if either of these two scores.
Apparently Heskey has an excellent scoring record against them so they're all bricking it..

Well, Heskey has an excellent scoring record against them in the sense that he scored more goals against them than anyone else. That was still 8 in an almost 20 year career.

Sorry to say, im with you on this Jaff. Our run has to end soon, they're a decent side this year and the games come too soon for our elderly front line imo. 0-2 loss :hang:

I'll take a point now but am expecting 0-1. A boring snuff out with late penalty for them.
