Well, midweek was a debacle, we all know that. Waiting for the Macc Lads to drop down to ten men before being able to exert superiority is again not good enough. The only decent thing to come out of it was the youngsters showing some of the seniors how it is done. But we cannot get carried away with them and Paul Ince’s Blackburn team will provide some stiff opposition.
Quite hard to pick the team, a couple of people have come back and some have started the season appalingly. We’re going to need some bite in the middle, which is why I am including Bowyer. I’m not his biggest fan but one thing he is capable of is breaking up the play. I assume Noble is suspended for this one? Macca looked out of sorts and I’m not sure rushing him back is great plan, so I’d give him a run from the bench. Up-front, it’s a tricky one but I’d start with Cole and Ashton and give matchday mascot Freddie Sears a run out for the last half hour. So my line up would be;
Green
Neill – Upson – Davenport – Behrami
Etherington – Parker – Bowyer – Faubert
Ashton – Cole
Bench – Latuvska, Mullins, Sears, Boa-Morte, Spence, McCartney, Widdowson
It’s a tough one to call and mystic blog got things wrong last week, but I’ve got a feeling the crowd will give the lads a lift and not accept Ince getting the better of us on our home turf. However, Rovers will give us a good run for their money, so I’m going with a 2-2 draw and Paul Ince to be booed a lot. Coral will give you 14/1 for that result, though they won’t take bets on Incey being booed, I imagine that is what they would call a dead cert. Anyway, pick up a free bet by clicking below and come on you Irons!!!!!!
