Blackburn will probably manage to lose despite that

[stainrodisalegend]

on what grounds: due to injury? Blackpool got into trouble for fielding a weakened team last year, but it seems when bigger clubs do this it is called "squad rotation".

[KentHoopNSV]

With only 4 points between them and 15th place?? And blackburn fighting for survival? A little risky I'd say.

[Wiz]

Thats a disgrace and unfair on you.

[jmelanie]

Sessegnon and Cattermole suspended (back Saturday). Would have thought it more likely he would field reserves on Saturday with the replay coming up the following week.

[CroydonCaptainJack]

I think Cattermole is out against us as well

[stainrodisalegend]

On BBC it just said a couple of injuries, the big one being Sessingnon - didn't mention anything about dropping players.

you would think so . but the sun quotes o'neil as saying he will rest some.

I think Blackburn would win anyway they look the best of all relegation candidates inc us

[stainrodisalegend]

I hold my hand up, when there were all those protests against Kean I thought Blackburn were as good as down as just couldn't see them rowing back from that, particularly with a manager who was so inept (or so he seemed). Now, they are scoring lots of goals and even had their first clean sheet the other day. They have to be strong favourites of the five to survive now.

The only ray of light I see (and I know this is probably cynical to even mention it) but with Bolton potentially facing a fixture pile up and off field distractions we might just be able to claw them back into the relegation zone - but we will need to pick up some points ourselves.

[Mattyqpr]

Don't worry about Blackburn anyway, yes it'll be good to see Sunderland win their tonight but imo it's all about Bolton, Wigan and Wolves.

[W12hoops]

Blackburn has to count as favourites out of the bottom five, it's between us and bolton IMO.

[Bigdave]

To be fair if any manager out of the bottom 5 clubs deserves to stay up its Kean. Has handled himslef very well despite getting slaughtered by all and sundry this season. And Blackburn have shown a lot of fight the past two months or so.
