Stats n Facts Blackburn has the 7th most visited library in England. So pop along if you're going to the game. It was the first town to undertake mass finger printing to catch a child killer. Its home to the Thwaites Brewery. Richard Garcia scored a great looping header/cross here many moons ago. Blackburn is mentioned in a Beatles song. Name that song? Famous people from Bburn Lovejoy was born here. Top man and top actor. Anthony Valentine too. Steve Pemberton Carl foggy Fogarty Lee Mack Jon Walmsley?? Who he? Only Jason Walton from The Waltons born in Bburn. Who'd a thunk it. Greegsy Odubajo Dawson Davies Robertson Snodgrass Meyler Livermore Clucas Diame Hernandez It might be Akpom, it might be Diame, it might be Powell. If he's up to speed then I'd like to see Powell on the bench at least. It's tough to name a bench. I'd rather see Diomande on it than Aluko. I'm going for a 2-1 win. Going to be a pig of a day today. Hard fought victory.
I think he will keep the same side, though I would prefer to see Akpom in for Diame. Also I wouldn't mind Meyler coming in for Hayden so he gets a bit of game time.
Akpom needs to be sent back to Arsenal. HIs attitude is appalling. If we fail to win today I think Bruce might finally get the sack. And deservedly so. A must win game by all accounts.
I don't think he's going to play somebody just for the sake of it, I don't think he will drop Hayden personally but we shall see.
Surprise change indicates either Powell for Diame or the new 'keeper for Mcgregor. The latter surely only if SB sees the Burnley goal as a goalkeeping error
A few past meetings: I could not find any vids on anything else annoyingly, not even the matches in 12/13.
It's not Powell he's not even in the squad , he tweeted about spending the day chilling and wished the squad good luck , rumours suggesting it's huddlestone back in
Wouldn't be surprised if it was Akpom in for Hernandez- after all, he's played at least 70 minutes in the last fortnight- he must be knackered
Will Brucey be going back to 3 at the back then? Shouldnt Powell be getting his arse to Bburn to support and familiarise himself with the team? Rather than "chilling".
