Streuth, Robin - can't you make the questions a bit harder!
1) Eastwood to stay. He must feel really confident at the moment, and that is half the battle for keepers.
2 & 3) I would be tempted to bring in Baptiste at centre-back for his experience and cool head, with Lowe playing at right-back. Which of the two young ones to drop, though?. I suppose it would have to be Duffy because of the captaincy issue.
4) This is the real puzzler! Wolves are not a high-scoring team this season, so we might get away with a relatively attacking formation. Depending on fitness, I might start with Marshall, Wil

Sorry aucks I will try harder next time
I am thinking now we need at least Lowe or Williamson in the centre to add that protection sadly that does hinder our creativity slightly.

Robin - as my thread "This Site" suggests, it is clear that not many people are actually interested in discussing Blackburn Rovers players and teams.
Your OP is interesting and challenging. Look how many people have bothered to get involved!
It almost makes me want to join the message-board on the official site.

(Still, Alf seems to agree with you ... I think )

1. Steele was brought in to be number one and was until being ineligible.Hadnt done a lot wrong in helping Rovers break the top six and now permanent should continue til HIS form warrants differently.

2. Drop either or ..Killgallon/Baptiste to replace.

3.Bench.

4.Marshall Williamson Dunn for 60 minutes ( get the game won) Conway

5.Has to be both Rhodes and Gestede again at home .

GB will decide.

1. I would play Eastwood
2. leave Duffy and hanley in (why do we have subs) ?
3. play Lowe at RB
Agree with Howie on 4.5.

I'll give it a whirl...

1.should Eastwood keep his place?
Yes (looked outstanding in his performances. Sometimes he loses control of the ball which can lead to a poor goal but luckily hasn't happened yet)

2.should Duffy and hanley remain the centre backs?
Yes but only because I don't think we have anyone better, then again I don't know much about our reserves

3.if Lowe is fit should he play?and where?
Maybe at right back so Baptiste can play in the center and replace Hanley

4.who should play in midfield?
Marshall - Dunn - Williamson - (rotate the other player)

5.1 up top or 2?
Rhodes and gestede should start for sure.
