Rovers - The Ultimate Nemesis!

After another good result today (and our best performance of the season) I couldn't help but look forward to our next game in the PL, namely Blackburn at home next weekend.

I really think this game will be an indication of how we are progressing, and if we can capitalise in a match (arguably the first this season) where we will go in as clear favourites.

I watched the game today against Arsenal and despite them picking up an excellent result, they looked shambolic at the back at times, which bodes well for us. I really want to see us go at them from the first whistle. Their fullbacks were sluggish and if we get the ball wide and ATTACK them (i'm looking at you Ober..) we should profit.

They are a team that have had an annoyingly good record against us in recent seasons, but with a goalscoring Best, an improving Ba and hopefully HBA back for his first prem appearance of the season, I can't see why we can't break the hoodoo they have over us.

Unbeaten after 6 games with 12 points on the board would be very welcome.

 

Especially Salgado! Givet also isn't the quickest so we can exploit that greatly.

Dangermen for them definitely has to be Samba(set-pieces/corners), Holiet(trickstar speedy kid) and The Yak(his confidence must be high after those two goals).

 

I'm not very confident of this one - it's typical of us to play well in a relatively hard game, then play ****e in a game we should win. Everything seems to be falling into place, though and I'll be gutted if we don't win, regardless of Blackburn's perfomance/Arsenal's capitulation today

 

I think we'll win

 

We always play crap against Rovers but I feel we will win this one. We have so much pace and quality in the midfield.

 

MGP as well (i hate that bastard)

got to say, their win was more to do with how Arsenal seem to have lost the ability to defend than anything else (but kudos to them for exploiting it)

 

Agreed.. but the good thing is MGP is injured!

 

we will win. Im going lol

 

Just hope that Jason Roberts doesn't get any time. I'm pretty sure all his career goals have come against us, despite him being total and utter pap.

 

I expect a performance like this but just a 2-1 win... dominant but narrow win.
