    0-2 to the lads. Confidence is high and I think we will have more than enough to win.

    Sky sports red button for this one I think?

    seems they are none too sure who the best players are or which ones should be in the side...while we know that TM will simply put out the best team for the game, plus we know if we have any injury doubts there will be a ready made and able replacement.

    not going to sit and claim a victory of course as we all know how games turn out, especially if another useless ref decides to take center stage, should be a good game though.

    They are in canny form themselves and have been playing decent football. Be a tougher game than most expect I feel. Especially with being down the big smoke over the weekend.

    I'll be happy with a point and getting back to the SOL looking for the big 3 on Sunday.

    Could be a tricky game, but we have a few options if we need to freshen things up. Will be happy with a point but hoping we get revenge for the game down there last season

    Really looking forward to it. Half day at graft then head down on the afternoon.

    Fancy us to avoid defeat and continue our decent run.

    Think your right @Prehab26 this will be a tough game and is potentially a bit of a banana skin for us, that said I think we have 2 teams who are fairly confident at the moment so this could go either way. My feelings are that we will sneak it by the odd goal and fancy Dack to upset his previous employers.

    Would definitely take a point. Tough game - Blackburn are a solid, top 10 team in this league.
    Just got a feeling Safc might pinch it 3-2 - hope so anyway.

    They can’t get as lucky with Refs decisions like last season…can they?
    If we get the rub of the green we can beat anybody in this league.

    I'd hope we can beat Cardiff so a draw at Blackburn wouldn't be a massive disappointment but it's difficult to bet against us these days. Yes it'll be a tough game, they all are, but we know we're always capable of scoring.

    Blackburn seem to be making this their cup final whereas I don't think Mowbray will be too fazed tbh. Nor would Dack who just looks like he wants to play football. It's debatable whether we can include him anyway, Pritchard was QPR MOTM and Burstow will play imo.

    I think it'll throw Blackburn if Dack doesn't play, they seem to be a little obsessed.

    Just had a look at the fixtures and there's games like Norwich - Leicester who've both lost in their last two games. A draw there could suit us, especially if we can come away with three points. Southampton, and expecially their manager, will be worried about playing Ipswich at home, booed off in their last game.

    Quite sad that people think we're arrogant or deluded. Yes we travel in numbers, sing our heads off and claim we're by far the greatest team the world has ever seen ...

    ... but we're quite decent and reasonable tbf.

    I'm betting even Crewe, Harrogate or Crawley fans sing the same thing... LOL

    It should work on Wednesday. Leicester are the main game but the others should be available to watch via the red button. As long as you subscribe to Sky Sports that is.
