The best part of today is the return of Daryl Dike delighted for the lad.

Holgate in for Bartley. Ajayi on bench. Fellows and MJ in for Grant and Grady

Grant not in squad as unwell apparently

Happy with that.

Echo the comments from others - great opportunity for us to force a bit of a gap between us and the chasing pack with results going in our direction.

This will be a tough test as I expect Blackburn to be difficult to breakdown and make life difficult for us.

I would also expect Fellows and Johnstone to come back into the side. Price and Grant making way to the bench.

Grant and Grady to the bench.

Grady had to do better with his chance too. You could see a mile off that the defender was going to throw himself to block it, so Grady has to either go the other side of the goal, or probably better yet  feint / take a touch, he had a lot of time and has to be scoring with that much time, fairly central 12 yards out

I agree with this he would have had an open goal once the defender had sold himself.
Grady for me is a passenger who loses the ball too easily .

Only 2 are on loan, unless I'm mistaken? But yes, we will hopefully lose another 2/3 in the summer through natural means.

Yes, my mind was saying one thing and I wrote another! I meant to say we will lose quite a few in the summer with  loan players and fringe players. Another rebuild.

Many of those will return to their clubs in the summer.
Yes, we could have done with moving a few on but if no one comes in the only one was Grant but the chance to get Armstrong came too late in the window.
My one concern is Dike poor bloke must be itching to play but now may just get a few minutes as sub here and there.

It's emotion mate, passion. The lads just scored a 97th minute winner against an extremely annoying team, he has every right to celebrate like he did and give a bit back.

I don't want to see a game where everyone behaves like robots I want to see emotion.

No way I'm knocking Jay at all.

Exactly, without passion football is nothing remember Willie Johnston he could be a bit lively!

Looks tired. He joined us in the middle of his previous teams season, hasn't really had an off season and has played every game for us.

Needs a break, good job we have lots of options at centre back 

I did wonder whether the season was catching up with him the Championship is a hard slog and it's his first taste of it, a situation that we need to keep an eye on.

Don’t under estimate the part the young lad Lankshear played , battled hard to disrupt so giving Fellows just a bit more time to pick the cross

Good play by Lankshear good first touch and nice lay off.

Mowbray is using the squad we have another game midweek when Fellows and Johnston will be fresh the final result justified Mowbray's selection but it was close!

A Mowbray team certainly gives you more jitters than a CC side who knew how to shut up  shop.
2-1 blow that whistle!

More and more I think the squad is lending itself to a 352 system. It would mean some pretty unfavourable decisions regarding who gets left out but hey ho e.g I don’t see room for both Fellow and Johnston in this system as it stands team would look something like
                                                   Griffiths
                          Holgate.              Bartley.            Heggem
Furlong.           Molumby             Price.            Mowatt.             Styles
                                    Lankshear.              Armstrong

That would be a good set up away from home if we want to be a bit more solid.

Where does Price play? I’ve forgotten with all these options!

From what I understand he's box to box but can play the 10 role probably an upgrade on Mulumby or any of the midfield if it comes down to it!

Looking forward to hearing the team news at 14.01 on Saturday afternoon whatever TM picks its bound to put a bit of a buzz around the place come kick off
COYB

Yes, so many options now and formations I hope TM keeps it simple in training he'll be like a kid in a sweet shop!

Do you think we would have taken the lead from Spurs if we knew Armstrong was coming in? In a blink of an eye we've gone from no Striker to who the heck do we play when all back fit. Hope Mowbrays well stocked up on paracetamol.

Simple answer no, I don't think we would of. I hope  Linkshear gets some game time and holds his own.

You can't say the Albion haven't been ambitious with this signing they could easily have gone forward with the Spurs lad with Dike and Maja coming back from injury for the rest of the season.
When everyone is fit picking the subs will be hard enough never mind the starting 11.
