This is a game that will test us to our very limits. After an energy sapping win over the Hornets we hardly have time to clean our boots, take a few deep breaths, look at all that we did to gain three valuable points and we are on the bus to Blackburn. Add to that they are a team who are close to danger too, they have a new boss, they lost on Saturday and they will be busting a gut to get three points at Ewood Park. NH will need all his motivational skills to set us up for a game we really must not lose. On the plus side we are a team full of confidence who are playing like heroes but this will be tough. Add to that we really only have one experienced target man who has yet to complete 90 minutes for us and if he runs out of puff or gets crocked then our options are very limited.
Shark had little to do on Saturday so he should be raring to go tomorrow. I am not sure the same can be said of some of our 30+ years squad but they will be keen to play. Will NH stick to the same side and formation or will fatigue determine his selection? Danny will certainly have recovered but will he play in a back 5 and revert to RB or stick to playing on the left. It’s a really tough call. If NH sticks to a back four then there is little doubt that he will play Cooper and Tango in the middle and Leonard on the right.
There may be question marks about how much gas is left in Sav’s tank but he will be keen to play alongside Billy. Honeyman has to play right and Flem is nailed on to play behind Oba but who plays left. Watmore has experience but does Longman have more pace. Or does he give a debut to Mayor? Another tough call.
My thoughts are,
Shark
Leonard Tango Cooper Danny
Honeyman Billy Sav Longman
Flem
Oba
Subs Bart Murray Brian Wes BNC Esse Casper Mayor Emakhu
