    Thankyou RTB
    Hard one to call I think. Continue with Fridays belief on their poor defence and it could be a nice day. Just worry that it’s a holiday day, big crowd and expectation and we know what sometimes happens then . But no, that’s not happening this time , 3-0 with an outstanding Rigg goal

    Sure I saw somewhere Blackburn have only won 1 of their last 18 games.
    I would settle for that today <laugh>

    With Brizzle on Sat too we have a chance to build some momentum. We haven't won 3 in a row since Sept so be good to be going into 2 tough away games with some form

    That is correct - league games only

    They beat Bristol City on 12th Dec, since then they have played 18, won 1 (stoke), drawn 8 and lost 9

    Form has picked up slightly with only 2 defeats in last 8. Smart money would be on a draw today

    Fantastic thread again RTB. Thank you!

    First goal will be crucial in this one. If we can get it, I think their heads will drop and our restored confidence will come to the fore. The team looked much more balanced on Friday and I hope we can continue the fluency we showed. Any remote chance of relegation was extinguished at Cardiff, so I look forward to us playing without fear, which is something Blackburn are likely to have.

    Show them no mercy. Don't give them a sniff and we'll be home and dry.

    3-1 to the Lads. Jobe, Rigg and Aouchiche.

    It’s a big game for Blackburn. They’ve got a tough run in, only 3 points above the relegation zone. Fear they’ll be horrendously frustrating playing for a point this afternoon…

    Has Alese trapped his finger in a door and been ruled out another 5 months?

    Delighted clarke is on the bench

    I know Roberts has been out injured for a while but going off this season as a whole, he needs a performance today
