Next up to face the Ewood scoring juggernaut is Cardiff City.
Will the juggernaut keep rolling or come to a screeching halt?
Cardiff's season has not had the best of starts.
It began with being dumped out of the Carabao Cup in the first round by Northampton Town 3-0.
This was followed by an opening day home defeat by Sheff Wednesday 0-2.
Cardiff's only points of the season so far came the following week when they beat Forest away 2-0.
Last weekend they lost again at home 1-2 to the division's early pace-setters Reading.
The bluebirds have just sold one of their fan favourites - striker Callum Paterson - to Sheff Weds for £500k, a move which seems to have mystified many - on both the small fee and the reason why - and left them two strikers down on last season.
Saturday may see the return of two players who have previously worn the famous blue and white halves.
Greg Cunningham, who promised much before an injury cut short his loan time at Ewood last season and Junior "show me the money" Hoilett, who's career has soared to ever higher levels since leaving us in 2012.
Over to Rovers.
One change at least will be made from the team that started against Derby last week, with Joe Rankin-Costello out for around 3 weeks with a hamstring injury.
I would expect Ryan Nyambe will be brought in to deputise.
Apart from that, why would you make any changes to a team who has scored more goals in the first 3 matches than any other team this century? (it took us 10 games to get as many goals last season - honest!)
I'm expecting a few predictions for a home win and perhaps some for a big scoreline too.
Please Rovers, keep the momentum going!
