Mr Vexed said:we SHOULD be ok against blackburn, let's face it, they aren't exactly one of the best teams in the league.
True, but they will play a lot more long balls than Newcastle...who themselves played lots of long balls at the weekend.
Bassong and Kaboul should however, be more than enough to cope with them. Might be a case of "we'll score more than you" like back in the 90's, but this time we actually have the quality players all through the team.
