Rovers v Morecambe

Tomorrow night sees our first foray in the Carabao cup against Morecambe at Ewood Park.

Who will figure for Rovers?
Will the majority of Saturday's team get some more game time or will more of the U-23s be cast into the limelight?

Will there be more Shrimps fans than Rovers fans at the match?

To avoid any doubt, this and all other cup games counts towards the predictions league.
If it goes to extra time, any goals scored in that period count but penalties do not.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that and we can progress to the next round and start to dream of 2002 all over again.

Including cup games particularly the early league cup games where weakened teams will be fielded certainly throws open the predictions! Hmm 3-1 to us.
 
I can understand it if Mowbray rests Ayala, due to his well documented fitness issues; otherwise no reason not to play a full strength side tomorrow, as players need all the match time they can get at this stage of the season: 2-1 to Rovers AET.

Butterworth was injured most of last season too. As for Chapman he was not even on the bench on saturday so I expect him definitely to play otherwise what was the point of keeping him?

I am rather looking forward to this tonight.

Ewood could well resemble Fingal‘s Cave this evening. A vast empty cavern where sound travels well. My rendition of “Mowbray wake up and pull your finger out” will be heard loud and clear.

All together now “….finger out!!!”.
