Blackburn 0-0 Bolton

Two shite teams live on sky, no Rhodes for them, my guess a piss poor crowd, and ultimately piss poor game.

1-1 for me.

An uphill battle for us.
We'll lose 2-0

i sense an away win, i can feel it in my water.

We'll out play them.

Two desperate teams trying to get some momentum but Rovers have home advantage and we can't find our shooting boots so I think they're slight favourites.

I predicted us to lose all our away games..... but for some reason I have a good feeling about this one.  0-2 for us.

Blackburn 1 - 3 Bolton

I fancy a Bolton win this game.

My prediction: Blackburn 1-2 Bolton

2-1 Bolton

This will be a really good test where we are. Blackburn are shit and like us are towards the bottom end of the table. Win it and there is hope for this season. Draw or lose and unless there is some magical transformation we will be staring at yet another lost season scrapping around the basement of the championship and relegation.

C'mon Lenny! Now is the time you show us and the football world that you are as good as you say you are!

That's a bit unfair Jah. To my knowledge Lennon has never bigged himself up in the media. It's the hacks and pundits that have said good things about him.

He has still a lot to prove as far as I'm concerned - and I think he knows that himself.

Ref watch: Paul Tierney to oversee Blackburn derby clash


Paul Tierney will take charge of Wanderers’ Sky Bet Championship clash with Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park on Friday night.


The Lancashire-based official has history in this fixture, having ruled over both the Whites' 4-0 victory against Rovers at Macron Stadium in March 2014, and Blackburn’s 1-0 win at Ewood last season little over 12 months later.

Last season Tierney handed out 134 yellow cards and eight red cards from 37 matches, while this year he has dished out 15 cautions from his five outings so far.

Richard Wigglesworth and Steven Meredith will run the line, while Scott Duncan is the fourth official.

Any chance of a BEL if we beat Blackburn Nat?

ONE TO WATCH
A familiar face to Bolton Wanderers supporters having spent the 2007/08 season on loan at Macron Stadium, Danny Guthrie joined Blackburn Rovers on a free transfer this summer following a successful trial.

Having progressed through the Liverpool youth academy, the 28-year-old made seven appearances during his time at Anfield before enjoying loan stints with both Southampton and Bolton, prior to a permanent move to Newcastle United in July 2008.

Winning promotion to the Premier League as Championship title-winners with the club in 2010, Guthrie moved to newly-promoted Reading in 2012 – spending three years with the Royals before finishing last season on loan at Fulham.
