So I’d imagine it will be a tight, cagey affair and both teams will rarely commit, especially if it’s still goalless at 60 mins. Goals change games of course. I could predict all this and then a horrible defensive error or set-piece goal occurs in the first 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramdale Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Amazed to see Ebou not in peoples teams. Some short memories from last season. I don't see anyway he doesn't start the game if he is fit. Zetterstrom Nyambe. Nelson Cashin Forsyth Ebou. Ozoh Jackson Kenzo Mendez Laing Collins I think if it was a home game that Wilson would get the nod at Right Back, but can see Warne playing Nyambe away from home. Id like to see Osborn given a go at left back, however doesn't look like he is considered for that role.

Jourdan Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 I am not expecting a cagey game myself. I think both sides will go out to win the game and both sides will want to lay down a marker. It could be 2-1 or 3-2 either way. The game will be there to be won, but I think Blackburn are slight favourites due to the question marks over our defence. Will Vickers be in goal? Will Cashin and Nelson be ready and on the same wavelength as before? Who will play full back? There’s enough concern there to think Blackburn and their new attack (Gueye, Ohashi, Weimann and Dolan) may have some joy on the night. If the defence step up, then we have a really good chance of winning. We have the right profiles in midfield with the technical quality of Goudmijn and the well-roundedness of Ozoh. Those two give us a chance of competing in any game. In attack, Mendez Laing, Collins and Jackson will be confident of a good start and causing the opposition problems. Let’s see what this week brings. Certainly getting a first choice goalkeeper would boost confidence levels. jono and Sweetness34 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 0-0 wouldn’t even be a bad result for us. Our team is going to look a lot different between now & the end of August, so any points we pick up in the meantime is a positive. Add in the fact that our current first choice striker can’t play the first 3 games, our goalkeeper is being held hostage in Scandinavia and we’re still around 5 short of what Warne wants, getting a point on the board away from home would be a good start.

Nuwtfly Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 First game of the season is always weird. Both teams would rather not lose than win, i think. I think it'll be 0-0 or 0-1 to them. My team (as it stands) would be: (4-2-3-1) Vickers Wilson Nelson Cashin Elder Ozoh Adams NML Kenzo Jackson Collins Would love to say I would start Brown up top, but I just don't see it happening. It'll be Collins. Chester40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravanelli Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Recent events remind me of the riots in the early 80s. I think it was 81 when we played Leicester away on a midweek game. The rioters deliberately arranged one on the night of the game near the ground. I would have been around 19 years old walking back to the car after the game through crowded streets of terraced housing around the old Filbert Street ground. I remember turning a corner onto a new street and seeing a wall of rioters stretching across the entire road running towards us. We turned and ran for our lives. Probably literally ! I’m taking the wife and teenage daughters to Blackburn on Friday. That’s not something I ever want to experience again. Hopefully we never will. Safe travels to everyone including the Blackburn fans on Friday. Premier ram, Kathcairns, Miggins and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetness34 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I'd imagine both teams have similar aspirations this season and will see each other as a team from which to pick up points. Therefore I predict an entertaining game for the neutral where two teams give each other opportunities which probably won't be taken. An entertaining 0-0 for me followed by a week of arguing amongst people who think it is a good point vs those tho think it is two points dropped Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Late winner from sub Blackett Taylor Cue mass hysteria from fans saying they always thought he should start and that Warne is an idiot 😊 Comrade 86, jono, ariotofmyown and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I know full well that Warne will be banging the drum asking for bravery in this game, equally it's a game that Blackburn will want to make sure they get three points out of - a home game against a relegation rival. We could even find ourselves up against last season's league top goalscorer in Szmodics should he not move on beforehand. He hasn't played in the friendlies, but can't see him missing this if he's contracted to the club. I know we've been playing with a 4-2-3-1 but wouldn't be at all surprised to see up line up as per the below: Vickers Nelson Bradley Cashin Wilson Ozoh Ebou Osborn Kenzo NML Kayden I'd be surprised if it doesn't end in a draw, honestly. 1-1 with a late equaliser. Kenzo or Osborn to score for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castor Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Adams and Ozoh are too similar for me. Don't complement each other. It's one or the other and at the minute Ozoh starts. The Scarlet Pimpernel and jimtastic56 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
