Another place where our record isn't the greatest. It's a game where the result has gone one way or the other in recent years. We've only beaten Blackburn 14 times in our history (from 65 meetings) and only 7 times away from home. We did win there as recently as 2017. This season, Blackburn have won 2, drawn 2 and lost 2 at home, in comparison to our 1 win, 2 draws and 3 defeats away from home. They've been averaging 2 goals a game in the league this season, and have won in every game they have scored first. They've scored at least 3 times in every game they have won. I do think this will be the toughest test our defence has faced, and it could form a similar pattern to Tuesday night. If we can keep mistakes to a minimum and keep Adam Armstrong quiet (12 goals) then I think we will have half a chance. Their form has been very inconsistent and they're currently unbeaten in 4, so they're due a defeat. I'm going for 1-2 - Woodrow double.
I’m hopeless at this. The last time I went into a game thinking “we can’t win this” was Chelsea in the FA Cup in 2008. Anyway 3-0 to us!
There’s deffo goals in this one, but not very confident. 3-1 or 3-2 Blackburn. So that means it will be 0-0
3-1 to us had some great away days to Blackburn in the 80s. I'm sure it was there where the 'oo gerry gerry' chant was first heard too.
I'd argue, it's the toughest game of the season so far. Whilst their league position doesn't point to much, going forward they've been unreal. I think it's all about catching them on an off day. We're a bit toothless going forward, but I do think it's one of those games where we'll need to outscore them, rather than it being a cagey game where the odd goal nicks it.
Think we'll win... one goal We have defenders to deal with Adam Armstrong. I expect us to play deeper again, but we need to do more with the ball when we've got it. Tight game for sure.
I couldnt believe Brentford had shot up to fourth after last night's win. Mid table before they played us. Early days and all that.
Earlier in the week I was thinking 0-2 to Blackburn. Been giving more thought to it and am going for a draw 2-2.
If you offered me a draw I’d take it now. Can’t see us keeping them out unfortunately, and we know if we concede first, that’s it.
