I've just had a tenner on 0-0 at 10/1...... Couldn't believe the odds were that long TBH.

I'm off to London for Leyton Orient V Walsall. I've been to Blackburn enough times, a change will hopefully be a good as a rest!

Saw two magpies on the journey from Llwyngrwil to Crewe to get the train to Blackburn.  Has to be a good sign.  A win for us. *fingers and toes crossed*

[LeeB]

A surprisingly lively performance but a tight 2-1 win, a la Bolton.

Gabby with two tap ins.

If the tactics are to attack we will win. If they are cowardly we will get a draw. I say draw.

0-0 written all over this shocker (cue a 6-4 thriller). They haven't kept a clean sheet in almost a year and we'd be happy with a point.

Blimey. Its going to be depressing if we don't score.

What's the betting Heskey starts?

Can't say I'm surprised.

Our rubbish defence and their rubbish defence both keeping a clean sheet?

Highly unlikely if you ask me.

I always look out for magpies on match days so I agree that seeing 2 should mean 3 points ( I say "should" cos I'm very much a pessimist where Villa are concerned at the moment!)

Please God, NO.

What's the betting Heskey starts?

Please God, NO.

what is the betting for Heskey to start and has a shot that goes out for a throw in ?

[Rip Van We Go Again]

I wouldn't be at all surprised if he played a 'no strikers' formation like Craig Levein did when he first took up the reins for Scotland.

Yes please. Blackburn haven't kept a clean sheet for nearly a year. Surely our front 4 can exploit the holes they leave at the back?

Just arrived at Ewood. I predict another afternoon of bitter frustration. 1-1 (although god knows whose going to score for us)
