Rovers Team News　　　

Rovers are sweating on the fitness of David Bentley ahead of their FA Cup quarter-final replay against Millwall while Bradley Orr is set to join fellow right-back Adam Henley on the sidelines.

Bentley took a blow to the knee during Sunday's goalless clash at The Den and Rovers' medical team will assess swelling around the former England midfielder's joint.

Henley's season looks to be over after he suffered a second hamstring tear this term and his replacement at the weekend, Orr, is a major doubt after sustaining a rib injury.

Forward Leon Best, winger Josh King and midfielder David Dunn are expected to be pressed into action once again despite only recently leaving an injury list including Colin Kazim-Richards, Lee Williamson (both ankle), Martin Olsson (eye) and Dickson Etuhu (knee). On-loan Hull winger Cameron Stewart is cup tied, as is Wigan midfielder David Jones.

Provisional squad: Kean, Sandomierski, Orr, Dann, Hanley, Markus Olsson, Rekik, Givet, Lowe, Murphy, Pedersen, Dunn, Bentley, Rhodes, Best, Nuno Gomes, King, Nunes, Goodwillie.

Millwall Team News　　　

Millwall boss Kenny Jackett has named an unchanged squad for the FA Cup quarter-final replay at Blackburn on Wednesday night.

The Lions suffered no new injuries during Saturday's hard-fought goalless draw between the Championship outfits at The Den.

James Henry remains sidelined by a knee injury and fellow winger Martyn Woolford is cup-tied.

Provisional squad: Forde, M Taylor, Dunne, Shittu, Lowry, Beevers, J Smith, A Smith, Osbourne, Malone, Wright, Trotter, Feeney, C Taylor, Saville, N'Guessan, Abdou, Marquis, Keogh, Hulse.

Millwall Facts

• Millwall are looking to qualify for the semi-finals for the fifth time in their 128-year history, and the first since the club-record run to the final in 2004, when beaten 3-0 by Manchester United.

• This is the Lions' first replay in the FA Cup since beating Southampton in last season's fourth round - the last time they opposed a fellow Championship side.

I really am not looking forward to Sunday

30 seconds to go and they play a goal kick short which then goes back to the keeper anyway.

comment by Marvin Straighte (U2174)

Lose on Sunday and theres a bloody real chance of us going down.

Millwall have been as gash as us recently and they've looked more than comfortable gainst us

Come on Wigan I suppose

comment by Duggywerefab (U3821)

Pathetic with a capital P, meanwhile a certain R Santa Cruz crawls off the bench and pops in a goal in the real competition. I expect he is sad he wasn't warming the bench at Ewood, think about it, where would you rather toddle off with your last few years?!

Depressed even more, supping has commenced

Duggy

Only just commenced? I had to start at KO

So so sad.

1 home match away from a Wembley semi against Wigan.

We spend the match lumping it up the field right down the middle. If you can't motivate players when a "winnable" Wembley FA Cup semi is up for grabs you never will.

A bit of effort I'd be happy, but that was Disgraceful.

the only things that motivates this lot is a call from their agent

comment by RTM08 (U5878)

The dingles will destroy us on Sunday. I also wouldn't bet against relegation: 2 goals for 9 against in the last 6 in all comps.

No wonder Danny Murphy looks as bad as he did - no midfield to pass to. It looked to me that some players were hiding from the ball (unfortunately Pedersen was not one of them)

In certain respects that was a bad as I have seen for... 4 days. Seriously need to move on half the team in Summer and unfortunately the manager as well. Primary responsibility is with the players but I do not think Appleton is going to take us back to the Premiership- more likely the opposite way.

For a chance to play at Wembley that was utterly unacceptable. Not sure their goalkeeper had to make a save in the 180 mins (might have done whilst I had my eyes closed looking up to the heavens).

Disgrace to the history of Blackburn Rovers Football Club.
