Ayala will play the man is massive.

 

[Drog]

Ayala must play imo if Carroll is playing cos he's massive too! Both good in the air and three centre backs will be needed cos I recall WBA are one big team who rely a lot on free kicks, corners and of course those long throws that the towels are for.

My Oh My...... How this table has changed! Last 6 matches on form.... Looks more like two relegation threatened teams than two premier league hopefuls. Blackburn Rovers | Form Guide | Last 6 Matches | Football Web Pages

btw anybody know whats gone wrong at Reading? They were in the mix for promotion last season.

Yes didn’t Reading have Andy Carroll?

 

[Drog]

Yes he was on loan till Jan. Then Burnley were in for him but he turned them down in favour of WBA.

Didn't he joined Reading on a free transfer on a low wage contract after leaving Newcastle until January

Is Pickering available now?

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

There’s your answer about Reading then. Carroll is a useless big girls blouse, 0-0 bore draw.

 

[Alan]

2 - 1 to Rovers.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

Is Pickering available now?

He is indeed.

Two definitely out but Pickering boost ahead of West Brom trip

Deyovaisio Zeefuik and Darragh Lenihan will definitely miss Rovers’ trip to West Brom – but Harry Pickering will be back from injury.

That might come back to haunt you ODB - I think he is underatted

 

[Chaddyrovers]

Is Pickering available now?

Yes I think he will be on the bench tbh

 

[Drog]

Bloody hell! What now? “There are some issues around one or two players that aren’t to be aired, some personal issues, family issues and I’ll pick the team that’s available that can go there and compete against a strong West Brom team,” Mowbray added.

Good to read confirmation that Lenihan will only get a one match suspension. With two yellows added to his others I feared that he might be suspended longer.

Also re: Zeefuik early reports about cramp didn't ring true with me as it looked every inch a hammy problem when he limped off.

 

[khmerblue]

Pickering must play if fit,get 60 mins out of him would be great.

 

[Lytham Rover]

No question KB, as you say Pickering must play from the kick off, just hope he’s fit and ready to go.

 

[Alan]

Pickering could be just what we need to get us back to where we were. We have a good replacement for Lenihan in Ayala. That news has really made me feel better.

 

[rovers95]

2-0 WBA

 

[Chaddyrovers]

Rovers 2 nil.
