Blackburm V LEEDS

[TWA]

Blackburn v Leeds United

Ewood Park
Saturday, 10 April
Kick-off: 3pm
Referee: Steve Dunn (Bristol)

Blackburn's Craig Short will miss the Easter programme against Leeds and Fulham because of a calf injury.

Lorenzo Amoruso is fit after a knock kept him out of the 4-0 defeat at Liverpool and could start, while Andy Cole is hoping for a recall.

Leeds midfielder Eirik Bakke is likely to be absent as his five-week absence with a torn thigh muscle continues.

Bakke is back in full training but has admitted he is not yet ready to return to action after his lengthy absence.

I'm praying we win this today, we need to keep in touch with the likes of Portsmouth/Leics and letting them pull away now would be highly demoralising. If I'm being realistic, I reckon we'll draw but everything crossed that we come away with the full 3. That would be massive - not only would we have 2 wins back-to-back wins but we'd have our first 'double' ot' season! ::blerrrrr

COME ON LADS!!

MARCHING ON TOGETHER!!

[Smudger]

Given this season its hard to be too positive going into games. We should win this but....who the hell knows which side is going to show up? good Leeds or shit Leeds?
Here's hoping for the 3pts.

[Smudger]

[kennethlindheim]

Good win over shity Souness and Blackburn.

[Smudger]

Yeah, 2-1 final score.
Robbo saved well from Tugay but could do nothing about the rebound when it fell to Short in the 90'...meh, 3 precious points.
