City 2-0 without getting out of 2nd gear.
Yep, I'd take that. Hardly a discredit to our team if we 'only' lose 2-0 at City is it? :lol:

On paper yeah, but the reality is that City won't have to try very hard.

We're a Championship side and most of our players are around the age of 22-23. We're playing against a collection of the best players in the world. If City win 2-0 but "don't try hard", that's still no discredit to Blackburn :lol:

I'd take a 2-0 win tbh. I like Blackburn and wouldn't take anywhere near as much joy from us dishing out a pasting.

Getting through is our priority, not goals.
Will be keeping Cech in my pocket for the next 3 months. Thanks Pedro :thumb:

I'd like to see Aguero start as there are some decent first goalscorer prices out there on him, if he doesn't start atleast its money back as there is no way its going to be 0-0 by the time he gets on the pitch.
it wouldnt surprise me if he does start

Nastasic started a game straight after he came back, i think MP might use him as a starter for 60 mins

Don't get me wrong, I'd love for us to pull off a cup upset and I'll be cheering Rovers on but I don't have high expectations either - our squad is incredibly young and quite inexperienced on the whole so I don't expect to win and I don't want a heavy loss because that could damage their confidence when the players are all so young.

ROVERS: Robinson, Henley, Hanley, Kilgallon, Spurr, Cairney, Lowe, Williamson, Taylor, Marshall, Campbell.

Subs: Eastwood, King, Dunn, Olsson, Rochina, Mahoney, Gestede


Uh oh! No Rhodes or Dann in the entire squad (Dann limped out of training and Rhodes had a recurrence of a hamstring injury) and Gestede dropped to the bench).

4/18 of our match day squad came from our academy which is pretty cool. Lots of very young players in there - Henley (19), Hanley (22), Cairney (22), Lowe (22), Marshall (22) all in the starting XI.

We're going to get battered :rofl:

Connor Mahoney on the bench - 16 year old wonderkid, supposedly!

Coverage on ITV is ridiculous here :rofl: We're playing 4-2-3-1 as far as I can tell from that lineup! Not completely sitting behind the ball and doing nothing if we have our way with 4-1-4-1 like they're accusing us!

We won't have our way, but at least Bowyer's put a team out that is capable of attacking!

Dzeko misses a free header inside 2 minutes :rofl: Could be a long match if it continues like this!

Pantillimon looks like he could be tested. That was very nearly a mistake from a back pass. We need to keep hold of the ball in City's half long enough to test him though - and therein lies the problem!

We're very defensive but City haven't really done much with their possession yet. It's only a matter of time.

Campbell nearly caught Pantimillon out earlier on, Campbell was half a second away from closing him down and getting a goal. We just had the first corner of the game and the ball bobbled a bit in the box :)
