Foogle 2,078 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Tone up that Tummy today! Saturday 3PM brings us a Lancashire vs Yorkshire clash of the Tony’s as we host Mowbray’s ‘rovers return’ to the riverside. Fresh off November’s “Black Friday” deals and last weekend’s “Humiliation Saturday” we’re here to offer you money off the exclusive Tummy Tone! https://i.imgur.com/Rc0ozeG.jpg[/img] This really is the perfect Christmas gift to trim that fat and build a sleek, battling, promotion-winning machine. Our patented Boro blend of intense sobbing mixed with bouts of laughter are sure to have you clenching those abs for hours on end. Our very own Tone-y Pulis has assured us that 90 minutes of viewing is as grueling as a day running up and down the mountains of Austria. Each of our intensive training sessions is available for the low low price of £30 for adults and £17 for concessions. Disclaimer: Please consult a doctor immediately if our sessions cause you to experience goals or delirious happiness. Preview We go into this match 4th place and 5 points behind first place and 5 points behind where we were in Karanka's 15/16 promotion season. We have a deep squad so we should have an advantage towards the back end of the season, but we need to start putting points on the board as soon as possible. Rovers started off the season well, but form has stuttered as of late with 1 win in 4 including damaging defeats to Lancashire rivals Preston and Wigan - 4-1 and 3-1 respectively - however they currently sit at a very respectable 10th place. Although they're no pushovers, these types of home games are where we simply must pick up maximum points if we want automatic promotion. This Fixture Last Time Out The last time we welcomed Blackburn to the Riverside was in 2016 in promotion season where the game finished 1-1. Our aims of top 2 promotion are very much the same this year. Injury Concerns Dael Fry looked to be concussed against Villa after coming off so may be touch and go, Gestede and McQueen look to be out whereas Shotton was “close to returning” last week. View From The Opposition No threads open so far on https://www.brfcs.com/mb/index.php?/forums/forum/4-football-messageboard/ Questions Who would you play and where? Score Predictions for this one? Will we ever score a set piece goal again? Can we pick up a Winger in the January sales? Who was our best Mowbray signing? Is Shotton the best right back in the league?

Notts_Smog 14 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I'd play 352 Randolph Fry Flint Batth Shotton Tavinier Clayton Wing Friend Braithwaite Assombalonga But Pulis will play 451 Randolph Shotton Flint Batth Friend Downing Howson Clayton Besic Tavinier Hugill I think we'll win 1-0 but it'll be a dire game with Blackburn spending the last 15 minutes in our half and going close on numerous occasions.

Onme'eadson 44 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I think its time Ayala was back in the team, hes the only 1 likely to score from a set piece. Link to post Share on other sites
SmogDane 4,052 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Randolph Shotton/Fry - Ayala/Fry - Batth - Friend ------------------------ Clayton ------------------- -------------- Besic -------------- Downing------ Tavernier ---------- Hugill -------- Braithwaite 3-1 victory as the optimistic hope still reigns on the Danish west coast ;) Tav, Hugill, Hugill (Graham for Rovers) Link to post Share on other sites
beanflickingchampion 57 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 4-4-2 Randolph Shotton Flint Ayala Friend Downing Clayton Wing Tavernier Assombalonga Hugill 4-3 to boro! LoL Link to post Share on other sites
Erimus 63 478 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 A bit of a bogey team Blackburn. Let's hope we can find some form, as anything less than a win will send the forum into meltdown. Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I think its time Ayala was back in the team, hes the only 1 likely to score from a set piece. Agreed. I can't be the only one who thinks ayala is a far better player than flint? Link to post Share on other sites

I can't be the only one who thinks ayala is a far better player than flint? The days he is Jekyll he is way better, but on his Hyde days he is a ticking bomb, waiting to be sent off. Glad we have both of then though. It is a long tough season ;) Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 There has to be an upturn in performance levels because Blackburn are no mugs, indeed if we lose or draw this one we will be out of the top 6 and the points from top 2 spots a six to eight point difference.

Borodane 6,246 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Don't know what to expect from this one. Could be a very tough and frustrating game, so I'm not convinced we will get the three points. If we put on another lacklustre and slow performance the crowd could get on the players and Pulis' back quickly making it an anxious affair. Let's be a bit more inventive this game Randolph Fry-Ayala-Flint-Friend Downing-Besic-Howson Tav---Britt---Braithwaite Link to post Share on other sites

Your compatriot SmogDane mentioned the phrase TimeBomb in his post and the feeling i get is that theres a few of those waiting to detonate within the club and the supporters , if we slip further away from the autos its gonna blow .

mendieta420 988 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Shotton is fit and has to be back in for me. Enough of people saying Fry has done well, he hasn't, he looks like a big centre half 'doing a job' and was completely ripped apart by Bolasie - his first good game for Villa by all accounts.
