Match Day Thread Blackburn Rovers FC v Sunderland AFC – Tuesday 18th October 2022 - KO 20:00

Simms training on own, we won't be on bench

 

Not surprised, but am disappointed. He brings good leadership in my opinion, but with Evans back we will be fine in that department I think.

Just watched the presser and TM didn't say he was out injured, in fact he didn't mention Gooch's injury at all so unless you know something others don't it'll be a wait and see situation.
Shame if he is out but as others have said we'll cope without him.

 

Press conference is only for Look North and Tyne Tees News to show on their shows which lasts not long. Nick Barnes and print journo's get more time asking questions with the camera off and more details

 

Gooch going for a scan

 

I just started watching the press conference.
Early on TM said about Saturday, ‘happy with the three points’ and put his head in his hands, like Oh God, Why? What’s the point?
I burst out laughing.
I like Mowbray. He’s a real student of the game. But do it with a smile Tony. Please.

 

I'd like everyone to be fit to give us options but judging by our 2nd half display on Saturday it won't be a major loss.

 

Me too. I groaned when he was appointed, having been a huge fan of AN. Since Mowbray has arrived however, I have listened to him and enjoyed his pressers, he has a wit and subtle way of getting his points over, and his thoughtful approach shines through. All in all, I think we have found the perfect coach at this time for the club and its development plan . OaU.

 

Burnley are going well, look a decent side.
But, but, but....

 

No mention of Gooch. Spent most of the time talking about his time at Blackburn.

 

Another informative thread thanks RTB keep up the good work,Saturday was the 1st game for me for a while with being away at work and not even that weather could spoil it,I’ve voted for a draw but deep down I’m hoping for another gutsy 2–1 win COME ON

 

Like to hear that, will be very happy with a draw, but hopefully we are over the Swansea away game and get into Blackburn. Hhhaaawwwwaaaaayyyyyyy the lads

 

HA'WAY THE LADS MACKEMS ATTACKEM.

Great win against Wigan and hopefully another against Blackburn.
Coooooomon

 

Other than Embleton playing over Ba, I got our lineup and formation change to 3-4-3 right on Saturday so let's see if I can do it again.....

4-4-2.....

......................Pato.................
Onien.......Batth.......Alese........Cirkin..
Robert's..........Evan's....Neil......Clarke.
..................Pritch.....Embleton.........

 

thanks for another grate thread RTB gone for a draw as teams are pretty even in my view, however i think we will pip them on skill level, and if we can sort it out a bit better up front without our main striker, or get our injured striker backup to speed and able to play we will have too much for them. especially if we play like we did in the 2nd half 45 on Saturday.

 

I thought I read it somewhere but hopefully you are right . Hoping that pattern continues.

 

Very sensible prediction for me. 2-2.
Find it hard to believe we are the underdog against anybody in this league. On our day & with a fully fit team I believe we can beat them all. However they are at home, they are above us in the league and so on that basis I will let them have a point.

Standard cheers RTB. Another class write up.

 

Got a feeling that this will be another draw.
1-1 with Clarke on the score sheet.

Another great thread RTB

 

I believe like you
we can take anyone one
I expect to be in top 6
If our forwards stay fit (when they come back and expect a new one in January )
we may nick an automatic place
