Match Thread Blackburn Rovers v Everton Thursday, 26th July 19:45 KO

[Nymzee]

I feel the Algarve Cup was Silva’s “last chance” for some players and we won’t see any players he doesn’t want playing the rest of pre-season.

Wouldn’t be surprised the likes of say Klaassen and Williams aren’t even on the bench.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Stekelenburg

Coleman - Holgate - Jagielka - Baines

Gueye ----------- Besic

Sigurdsson
Walcott ------------------ Richarlison
Tosun​

If Walcott still isn't fit I'd put Lookman in there. If no Lookman either then Sandro. Guessing DCL will still be unavailable.

 

[Connor]

Hopefully Walcott is fit enough for 20 minutes or so

 

[Pabbers]

Pay on the gate??

How are people getting back from Ewood park tonight? I'm getting the train there, but seems like there's no trains back. (Why is it easier to get to a game in London than within the North West?)

Does anyone have a bus or car space spare for the journey home? I'm looking to get to Childwall, but anywhere in Liverpool would be good.

Wouldn't be surprised to see some of the younger lads like Robinson, Connelly and Kenny start tonight whilst saving the more established players for the game on Saturday against Rennes.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Be interesting to see who's left out completely tonight.

I think @since1878couk on Twitter has spaces on their coach

if not I'll be driving home from the match (to Wallasey) so could help you out

Just to make people aware. If you're going tongiht via Car and via the M6, best to avoid.

Big lorry crash into a bridge and both sides have been closed between junction 32/33. Apparently the tailbacks are either 1 hour delay or 2-3 hours. While you wont go past junction 32 the traffic may flow back past junction 29 so may affect blues travelling. The bridge isn't safe apparently so I wouldnt expect it to reopen anytime soon.

I travel home from Blackburn to Wigan soon so will report back if people want me to how bad it is and whether you should look to going a different way.

If its bad, you can go;

- come off at Charnock Richard Services (you can go onto side roads from there) and go through Chorley and then Bolton way. Will take a bit longer but at least you're not stuck on a motorway.

Klaassen not in the squad tonight, as per Kirkbride. Looks like bye bye Davy.

 

[Nymzee]

Was going to watch this but never make it in time with those diversions.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Would like to see a few minutes at least tonight for Richarlison, Walcott, Siguurdson, Gueye, and Lookman. Important that everyone gets some good game time under their belts over the next 3 games.

Hopefully we see a little bit more threat in front of goal tonight.

 

[Pabbers]

Looking forward to this, taking the little girl. She just wants a hot dog ffs!!

i'd like to see Hewlett given few minutes tonight instead of stek. My guess is it will be stek, coleman jags keane baines. With midfield of besic, gana sigurdsson. Up front hopefully walcott is health for atleast 30-45 mins with tosun and richarlison.
