Seems about as good as we can get, but would def have Chambers in if fit, Drop JS and put him on bench instead of AC.
Trouble is Bubbs...we did a lot long ball even without Heno in the side at Villa! To be frank I dread to think what Blackburn might do to us on current form (and Man U a week later!)

Still out for a couple of weeks with a broken toe, did it a good few weeks ago whilst at Rotherham. You mean the player who hasn't played a competitive game since May, nevermind a string of games.
Granted, we smashed it long even without Hendo, but Sunday and Monday is the time to get out on the training ground and practise getting the ball wide quickly to feet!! We know what Bouazza can do and we need to get the ball wide to him more often! I think we lack pace upfront with Hoskins and Hendo, hence the reason I went with Ashikodi...Hoskins, from what i've seen today is quite an intelligent player that likes to play just behind the striker...if you do this then you need someone with pace to play through...we all know a three legged rocking horse has more pace than Doris! Hoskins needs service to feet, not down his throat all the time!
Re Williamson Chewy is your statement correct? "Still out for a couple of weeks with a broken toe, did it a good few weeks ago whilst at Rotherham." He got that injury end November and then played for Rotherham the week before he joined us as his comeback game. Is he still injured with that? It doesn't say so on the injuries list on the website - but that doesn't mean Jack Team for Blackburn: Foster Chambers (Mariappa), Dan, Jay, Jordan Smith, Mahon, Williamson, Bouazza(if injured JS to midfield and Powell LB) Hendo, Hoskins
