Blackburn facts,figures and triggers
Blackburn is such a small place that more than the amount of people that live there follow the club. That means a lot of Blackburn folk follow their local side, and clearly some of them twice. There is no other explanation. Holland’s pies is the towns biggest exporter, in a hundred years back, or less, they used to export cotton ( not Holland’s pies ) to the world, then one eyed Joe got annoyed and it all went south. Not literally, nothing goes south from Blackburn as we have seen with their away supports over the years at Swansea. It shouldn’t ever be said that Blackburn people are thick, other than all of them mostly are really intelligent. They came second in the UK’s most intelligent town in 2017. This was an incredible achievement for them as they were the only town to enter. Thick or what ?

3 match suspension carried over from the surrender to Brentford in Wembley.
Will Latibeaudiere manage to not get sent off? [Post edited 7 Aug 2021 14:41]

I’d forgotten that.
I have been disappointed in Latibeaudiere in preseason. Let’s hope he improves today.
Going forward, I’m convinced he will be a better defensive midfielder than centre back. | | | |

Looks like Dan Williams is the 19th man from the pictures. Little strange he didn't get the nod as unless you count Dhanda there's no natural midfield cover on the bench. I'd have him in there instead of Oli Cooper who you wouldn't think is likely to feature before Joseph, Whittaker and Yan. | | | |

I must say, this looks one of the weakest starting lineups we have had for maybe close to 15 years.
Tough, tough ask. |  |

Certainly the weakest bench I can remember seeing in a long time.
Still. New season. Always time for maximum optimism. | | | |
