Blackburn team news and starting 11

Blackburn agree Pavone deal http://bit.ly/n65EaW. Not sure if he will go straight into the starting eleven - one to keep an eye on.

He 'limped off' against Accrington. He very is a starter, or at least he was last season

Who are your starting 11?

My guess would be -

Robinson
Salgado, Samba, Nelsen / Givet, Olsson
Emerton, N'Zonzi, Dunn, Pedersen
Goodwillie, Hoilett

Any Rovers fans know any better?

-------------------Robinson-----------------------
Salgado/Emerton - Samba - Nelsen ------Givet
------------------N'Zonzi------------------------
Hoilett--------Dunn ---- Gamst ----------Olsson
------------------Goodwillie-----------------

This is what we usually play but Kean could well change it. Gamst doesn't always start and Grella is back. Hoilett could play up front and Emerton could play RM. Salgado is an old man now and probably won't get much game time (slowest player in the prem I think haha)

If you want Rovers players I would look at the defence mainly. Also Hoilett does pop up with a goal and assist now and again and Goodwillie seems like a natural goal scorer, and you never know, he could have a benni mccarthy year

More than likely a Benny Hill year with a name like that.

Chandler, Yes, I was looking at defense, Samba. Do you think he is out for GW 1?

Cannot say I'm afraid. I think he's a bargain at 5.5m. If I were you I would do some googlin' and maybe he'll say nearer the weekend on twitter. Otherwise I know as much as you

Will Formica not be a regular starter? Seems to have shone in pre-season. Will the new signing Petrovic effect his game time?

Reckon Roberts starts Saturday with Goodwillie sub.

Formica looks formidable

bigcliff2 · **Posted:** 18 Aug 2011, 17:07

Is Olsson definitely a winger rather than a full back? And, if so, is he a better pick than Formica, likely to get goals and assists?

Cheers

I'm no Blackburn expert but from what I have seen if Samba and Nelsen are fit , they play centre-back , Givet left-back and Olsson further forward . If one of Samba/Nelsen is missing Givet plays centrally and Olsson drops back . You would need a Blackburn fan to tell you about Hanley

Is Dunn finished?

he seems to have weakened since his big season 2 years ago.
