Well, there were howls of derision at his selection last week, so let's give it a chance and hope for a similar outcome.

You sure ?

I'm a big fan of the balance that Anderson has alway brought to the team

Yeah, quite a bit at the start of the match thread.

Not much use if you spend 95% of your time going backwards

Never thought I would see that lazy useless c£&@ in a blues shirt again

Nor did I but we appear to have forgotten that the effing DvB in charge loves him for no apparent reason.

I’m with Mayor. Burke could have the game of his life, Rowett’s still a prick.

And Ruddy is? No chance.

I appreciate the benefit of having more physical presence but Koji has the ability to unlock their defence with through balls into Stansfield. Without that I worry how we're going to score.

Let's hope T.Roberts comes up with the assists again today.

Oliver Burke’s gonna score a perfect hat trick, obviously. All hail our glorious V necked saviour, not a single word against his judgement allowed at any point

Just put a quid on Burke scoring at odds of 5,000-1 !

Which bookie? Can't find one accepting Burke as a scorer!

Hopefully Burke surprises us (faint hope I know), as I wrote off Anderson and Roberts last week and they were brilliant.

Same, hopefully this is like the Anderson pick.

Burke had two spells at Millwall, so Rowett knows him well, and presumably has looked good in training.


or Rowett never learns and can't spot a decent player

Oh well .... we can still beat them with 10 men

From memory, he was supposed to have done okay in both spells. With a very clearly defined and limited role he might do okayish.

4 goals in 31 at Millwall

which i suppose is good compared to his 0 in 20 for us

He was used as a winger.
Millwall finished in the top 10 twice with him playing.

Not only has he achieved 0 in 20 goals at Blues ... but also 0 in 20 assists

I bet you he's blowing out of his arse after 20 minutes too

In his defence he’ll be knackered from doing TikTok dances until 4am, it’s not his fault

You lot need to relax and back the 11 on the pitch. He may well be shit, but he's playing so get over yourselves.

Whatever you think of Rowett, he has earned our trust for the last few games. Deal with it and support the lads.

Wow. How is bomb squad Burke in??

Rowett wants to take it to the last day, he's much more of a hero then when he puts Ruddy in as CF in the last few minutes to score & keep us up.
