Bill Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Games are coming thick and fast, still only 2 losses (Manure and the Arses) in the last 14 league games. With Ossie and Baines back we should leave out Nuno and win this one 2-1. James Vaughan should start up front, with Vic or AJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko 1990 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Should win this aslong as we keep Bentley under wraps. Vaughan And Aj upfront for this 1, even thou AJ played bad Vic was awful against Spurs. 2-1 Vaughan, manny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and the fact that we still may not have much of a midfield. If Pienaar is back and shakes off his injury and Osman is back and fit and in the middle and not the wing we have a better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFCfanatic Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 2-0 us AJ with a deuce. They don't provide as much of a threat as Spurs IMO. With our defence as it is Clause and Bentley shud be delt with. Aj and Vaughan up front. Even if Peanuts is knocked out 2nite surely he can't fly all that way and play straight away? Whats the situation with Cahill and Oz is he available for this or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagoblue Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Cahill and Hibbert should both be back. Osman is just an ongoing minor injury as I understand it. Santa Cruz is a real danger, he seems to keep on making goals out of nothing so we'll have to mark him tight for the full 90. Really wish Arteta had just stepped inside and had a crack against spurs but I reckon he's due for one. 2-1 to us, Lescott and Arteta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Cahill might be playing for the Aussies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Put Santa Cruz in my fantasy team a few weeks back so he only scored once in four games . Swapped him for Anelka now so no doubt he'll start banging them in again . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsmith69 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 2-0 to us, i dont rate blackburn and they aren't playing v well at the mo. Vaughan and vic to score. My Team would be howard hibbert jagielka lescott baines arteta fernandes cahill osman Vic Vaughan but i think carsley and neville and johnson will be in in place of vaughan, vic and osman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Bit iffy about this Blackburn match, biggish 3 points up for grabs in the whole scheme of things. Cahill if fit wouldnt fly out until the Sunday after the league match. Thats the deal 4 all the Oz players except those who play on sunday of course. Watching Total Football an Oz footy panel type show on Fox last night, they mentioned rumours that Cahill may yet be struck down by a mystery injury.

Hasta Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) From a Blackburn point of view this also is being regarded as a must win game for Europe, especially with us being at The Emirates next. However our big concern is the defence. Samba is a man mountain and he is banned. Ooijer and Zurab will play together for the first time at CH and neither is lightening fast. At RB, Emerton is in he same position as Cahill with regards to Australia. We believe that if he (and Cahill) does join up with the Oz squad they miss the game. Should Emerton not be available, we are either throwing a relative unknown into defence or moving Reid to RB where he is iffy. I think you'll seriously threaten us at set pieces. Also AJ's pace could seriously exploit our centre halves. Whether he has the composure to take advantage is another thing. However I'd also fancy us to score ourselves so it should be close but with goals. I believe you've sold out which will make for a great atmosphere. Enjoy the game. Think you'll get something, hope you don't, and if your coming wrap up cos it'll be bloody freezing. It's been gales and sleet all day today over here.

Calico Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Good to see it from the other side there, Hasta As for the game... I think we'll knick it 2-1. Also, I believe Pienaar is injured and so definitely won't play, not sure about Cahill though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooijer and Zurab will play together for the first time at CH and neither is lightening fast. I think with this in mind we should cause th[eir defence all sorts of problems, especially if Vaughan is given a start. Pienaar will be a big miss for us again. Still I think we'll win this one. I'm going for 0-2! Edited February 1, 2008 by barryj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Quite surprised to see that Blackburn have only taken fifteen points from their last fifteen games. Only beaten Derby, Sunderland, Notlob and Newcastle. If they hadn't had a decent start that's relegation form, not Europe. Early goal from AJ, then a twenty-five yarder from VDM after eighty-five . 2-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
