Crazily Jcs not playing makes it more likely we can get him in the summer
I believe he's back at Chelsea for his rehab Pete
Obviously things very uncertain at Chelsea at present so the legion of players in JCH's position are probably pretty low down the list of priorities for whoever takes over

It’s more the travelling and him having no rest , all the rest of the squad had a week off , he was rested against derby to give him a break
Does that mean we are more likely to see Shipley playing in the forward positions as maatsen will have to revert into the defensive role if bidwell is playing in the back 3. Limits our options going forward

Yes Rose and Kane back , Kane only just back training this week though, JCS looks like he’s out for the season , fadz another couple of weeks
Can see Bidwell covering in the back 3 , Maatson is away with Holland so a bit of concern making sure he comes back all okay
Doesn’t appear to be any more covid at the moment !!!
Shippers at LWB!! He’s one of our own…etc etc

There's been a few comments on here from people saying they would be happy to have him as back up LWB next season.
On paper, I would. Having aid that he did it for 1 match against the worst team in the division. Let's see how he does on Saturday in the position if that's what happens.

The other side is, will he be happy as purely back up in that position?

The other side is, do we have to listen to that awful Allez Allez Allez another year?

probably sensible as Reid isn’t up to the job it seems

I'd be looking to bring someone else in first and this would be the fallback option if nothing can to fruition. No idea who that 'someone else' might be though.

Good chance Maatson will feature (and probably play a blinder !!!) as we really do not have enough numbers , the concern as I said will be his energy levels with having no time off and we have forest coming up

Missed a fair few at Brum with injury too didn’t he?

I think he’s quality but it’s a fair question when you run as lean a squad as we do.

This is my only concern with him.
The positive is that it doesn't seem to be any repeat, recurring injury but lots of different niggles which in itself is a worry.

Always love this match for the intra-family rivalry. I think (hope) we'll nick it 1-0, Big Vik to score.

Not sounding confident at all on their side of things, most predicting a defeat and seem pretty apathetic in general. Content to give Mowbray until the end of the season but then want rid it seems after his usual "death spiral".

Blackburn sold nearly all of their 2000 allocation, so hopefully that will help keep the atmosphere at the new levels. I'm up for a sing song!!
