Blackburn Rovers v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

Blackburn can pull a decent result out of the hat every now and then,so in our current plight id take a draw,which is pretty sad really. 1-1

Hi Alex!

I know,I told you it was sad!

Blackburn fans planning a series of protests before the game, should make a good watch for anyone down there on Saturday

Their funniest protest was when they didn't travel to the FA Cup match at Newcastle. Think instead of the usual 103 away fans there were about 87 in attendance.

The fans should make it a joint venture and see who sings "our manager's worse than yours" the loudest.

Same as me, except for Albrighton in for Bannan.  Don't think either of them are up to it, if I am honest, but think he will give us better balance.

1-1

At half time; instead of changing ends why not try exchanging managers?

I think Bannan & Ireland link up better than Albrighton & Ireland.

don't get me wrong Albrighton if hecan find his form would be an automatic pick for me but he's lost his Mojo, I think.

Looks like Petrov, Hutton, Herd, and Collins should all be fit for the game.

Is Salgado still turning up, i mean turning out for them? He's the one i always pinpoint as one to run at. He's hoplessley slow and over the hill.

It would be quite romantic to see dazzyg and his Blackburn counterpart to embrace and swap banners before the game.

Hopefully they'll have Salgado and Givet at the back, both are very slow. The only problem will be if AM decides to play Heskey up front instead of Gabby.

Blackburn are a strange side, sometimes they can really turn it on but most of the time they are really poor, with Herd and Petrov sitting in front of the back 4 with Ireland in a free role we should take something from the game but think its probably yet another draw which is not great but in our situation is no disaster either, it would be brilliant if we could string a few wins together and gallop to safety but its not going to happen, we will stumble to safety, you know I am right.UTV
