Everyone seems to think Blackburn will beat us - why? They look a very ordinary average side, like a lot of teams in this division, apart from WBA at home no one has really looked like they have a lot of quality. They don't have any real stand out players that can be described as game changers or match winners and even our fragile defence on their day are good enough to cope with what they have to offer. Gouranga. I expect the unexpected, Since Jones and Rowett days when we knew what was coming week in/out with their approach (with odd exceptions)............MON has introduced some uncertainty with mixed results, and we are far better position than before - who knows whats coming? - we can only hope! Part of following the Potters! - Who would really want week in/out success of top clubs - where is the fun in that?

We need to repeat our performance against West Brom to get anything
They will be up for this. They want to stay in touch with the playoffs.
We blew our chance of putting relegation fears to bed with that QPR debacle so we are still in deep shit
I can see either a 3-0 Blackburn steam rolling or a jammy hard fought 1-0 for us.
Not expecting a draw
Don’t know why. Just thinking both teams won’t settle for it and if it is level pegging Blackburn will defo go all guns for the winner.
So depends how fragile our defence is tonight

The Form table must be changing by each game in this division. Anyone can and do beat anyone. Need a good leader on the pitch at times to give a good bollocking like Roy Keane. Shawcross - Allen are not leaders

I feel sick atm watching stoke, just dont know if we are going to get a performance that will batter somebody someday, like the udders away game or a gritty nail biting 1-0 or an absolute joke of any form of defensive duties.
Guess that's inconsistency

Interesting to see how MON goes with the team selection tonight. He likes consistency, but we suffered badly in the last 3 game week and maybe one or two switches and a bit more of a defensive formation, at least to start, may be better. I'd rather steal a 0-0 than go gung ho and get 4 knocked past us again.

Like he says we are a win/lose team, we need to make sure were hard to beat. 3 good shots and derby punished us. Cannot afford another 4 nil

If clucas is up for it hes a good scraper, not sure if he will test thompson, but he does have a better delivery than cousins

Lewis Travis the player was trying to remember before. Looks a good battling player. Watched them a few weeks ago on TV, wasn't a classic but he broke play up so much
