Defenders in the first team available:

Givet. Dann, Olsson, Orr, Hanley, Henley

At least that lot have got a good understanding, lots of experience and no injury problems and am so glad we used the transfer window as an opportunity to strengthen. Think Lowe might have to find his way back from midfield quite soon. N'zonzi looks like a dandu back up centre half.

I hate to say it but losing two key defenders in quick succession may well knock us back far enough to stumble back into the drop zone. I doubt we'll get out if we drop back in.

The official Rovers site says Givet is suspended for this game and the next on this article:

Soz - I meant generally available - I ignored Salgado, Ribiero and Anderson much as Kean has.

So our defence versus City is:

Orr Hanley Maybe Dann Olsson/ Henley

Dear god, we're doomed.

You may as well forget the Kean out stuff and concentrate on Venky's

They have not got a clue when it comes to football....no point changing the manager until the ownership changes

We've been concentrating on Venky's for a couple of months now. Unfortunately for Kean they seem to have vanished off of the face of the earth as no one has seen or heard from them since around October/November.

Kean was right, his not good for morale, bomb him out if he doesn't want to play

Kean's not good for my morale...

well now the big baby has left the bulding!!
and gone off to someware near the salt mines
so much for arry and the rest of the top 4 teams
it all came down to money and not football in the end
well good luck chris you are going to need it
no player or club management are bigger than blackburn rovers we will support the team no matter what steve kean or venks say or do the club and the fans will go on after venkys and after steve kean
lets just hope venkys run out players to sell and run out of money and have to sell the club

Please how is selling Samba bad for the defence ,Samba was never going to play for us again so where is the loss

"Samba was never going to play for us again"

Strange how he only got unsettled after the evil Venkean empire had been here for a while. Ah I'm tired and not sure I care any more.

Yeah the same Samba who got a new contract for 60 grand a week and then came settled again, all he cares about is money this was always going to happen even if The Walker Trust was here.

flesh of christ samba

Blood of christ samba

"all he cares about is money this was always going to happen even if The Walker Trust was here."

Yeah thats all he demonstrated whilst Hughes and Allardyce, even Ince were here, just playing for the money.

He's never given 100%, never been the extra difference between winning and losing. Strange how its only under clown Kean that this behaviour comes out amongst our senior professionals. Almost as if they don't respect the clown.
