They'll be back to basics in training and their squad is threadbare , their confidence is negligable , they have won once at home all season scoring a measley 5 goals.
I love that price , the game could be over at half time.

I'm gonna swerve the Donny game but i agree with the Blackburn shout IF bellamy is fit , anyone know if the little wanker is fit again?
Boro can be good but they are all too often outbattled IMO , they lost at home to Sunderland early on .3.5 looks very nice indeed but if you look at Blackburn's away form you'd think I was crzy talkin , 1 win all season BUT take a shufty at their opponents. They have faced Arsenal , Chelsea , liverpool , Man ure , Bolton and the hardest of them all City!
they were beaten by a solid fulham outfit on Saturday but lacked bellamy and savage for that game.Worth a go at them odd's
Unsure about Bellamy at the minute. I heard he is 50/50 for the game on Saturday so you'd imagine he would make this one.

As for Blackburn's away results, i agree and don't think you can look at them. If any i think their away results are encouraging.

Off the top of my head...Away to Chelsea, to go to Stamford bridge and score 2 and play well speaks volumes imo. Not many teams, if any more will achieve that feat this season.

Arsenal game they went down 3-0 but what a completely false reflection you get from that result. They were superb at highbury and created a hatful of chances and deserved a draw at least. Could be an arguement that no one would complain if they had won that game the amount of chances they created.

Victory away to Man Utd and again it was pretty deserved. Contained United pretty well i thought and held their nerve to take the lead twice and eventually win the game.

Charlton last round is the only other game i remember and showed all Blackburns qualities i thought. The spirit of the side is great and they will keep going till the final whistle regardless of the score.

So yeah - i think that price is pretty huge but i never liek going against Boro at home so its tough to call
