IT BAFFLES me that Sven Goran Eriksson seems to think his squad represents the chosen few already in November, 2001 -- when the injury-prone winter season has yet to be slogged through.
I reckon up to six players from the present England squad could be eliminated from the World Cup due to injuries of sheer exhaustion from playing in Europe.
It thus opens the door to David Dunn to replace an exhausted David Beckham; Garry Flitcroft to replace Butt; Jansen to replace any forward player you care to name in the England squad and Craig Hignett to come in as a utility player.
What Rovers need is an aim for the season.
Europe, the FA Cup and Worthington Cup remain the goal for the squad and for all the Rovers, English and European, American players, the World Cup.
Let us look up at the glittering prizes awaiting manager Graeme Souness and these men and back them in every game.
A time is coming when Blackburn shall rise again like a phoenix from the ashes to claim the glory.
