That's it, 1-1 full-time. Albion did not really deserve a point but we will certainly take it. Late penalty coolly dispatched by David for his fourth goal of the season. Thanks for joining me.
9:42pm
Albion equalise in 96th minute as David is fouled by Goodwillie for a penalty which DAVID coolly dispatches
9:35pm
Will be 5 mins added time. It's been a poor game
9:33pm
And another fine save from Tomasz to tip away a goalbound Rhodes header
9:27pm
Another good save from Kuszczak to deny Kazim-Richards. I'm afraid I just can't see where an equaliser is coming form.
9:24pm
First shot on target for Albion and first save home keeper Jake Kean has had to make, the effort coming from Hoskins. Buckley and Bridcutt have joined Barnes in the book by the way
9:17pm
Kazim-Richards shot just past the post from 25 yards.
9:13pm
Martin Olsson shot harmlessly over the bar. Hoskins on for Barnes
9:08pm
Blackburn's Martin Olsson booked although ref initially called over his twin brother Markus. Still nothing to test the home keeper
9:03pm
Double change for Albion, Buckley on for Vicente and CMS on for Orlandi.
8:57pm
Crowd 12,230 (about 350 Albion but to be confirmed)
8:56pm
No changes for the second half but Albion need to alter something because it's not working at the moment
8:50pm
Second half about to get under way ...
8:38pm
Just remind you we are subject to a three-minute reporting delay under Football League rules. I'm tweeting too which is not subject to any restrictions @HowardGriggs
8:37pm
Albion are playing four Spaniards and a Spanish style frontline. The football is pretty but the Blackburn keeper has not been called into action yet
8:35pm
That's half-time. A big blow to Albion as they fall behind just before the interval. It was the linesman who signalled a penalty. Plenty of work to do now
8:34pm
Blackburn take the lead as Adam El-Abd is penalised for a foul on Pedersen and RHODES dispatches the penalty
8:24pm
Kuszczak makes another fine save, this time pushing away a shot from Pedersen. There is little between the teams but Albion's keeper has twice done well now
8:19pm
Blackburn's free-kick conceded count rising quick. They are fast into the tackle, trying to stop Albion from playing
8:13pm
Vicente tees up Bridcutt who floats a shot past the far upright
8:11pm
Barnes header off target after strong run by Bridge
8:05pm
First chance to Blackburn and Kuszczak makes a good save low down to push Lowe's shot wide for a corner. 15mins
8:03pm
10 mins played. Vicente showing some nice touches, dropping deep from central striker role
7:57pm
Albion knocking the ball around well but nothing happened yet here
7:52pm
No chances so far but we will have to watch for the pace of Markus Olsson who looks lively
7:51pm
Looks like 4-1-2-3 so far with David, Vicente and Barnes as the front three
7:47pm
The game is under way, Albion kicking towards their own supporters in the first half ...
7:44pm
Teams are on the way out ...
7:12pm
As soon as they start I will let you know exactly how Albion are lining up. Kazim-Richards plays for Blackburn who include twins Martin and Markus Olsson (not Magnus as first typed!)
7:03pm
Blackburn: Kean; Kane, Dann, Hanley, Martin Olsson; Pedersen, Lowe, Murphy, Magnus Olsson; Kazim-Richards, Rhodes. Subs: Givet, Fabio Nunes, Dunn, Nuno Gomes, Rochina, Goodwillie, Usai.
6:59pm
Two changes for Blackburn as Magnus Olsson and Morten Gamst Pedersen return in place of Simon Vukcevic and Ruben Rochina
6:53pm
It looks like Vicente will play as the central striker in place of CMS, which was how it finished at Birmingham.
6:51pm
Albion: Kuszczak; Calderon, Greer, El-Abd, Bridge; Bridcutt, Dicker, Orlandi; David, Vicente, Barnes. Subs: Painter, Hammond, LuaLua, Buckley, Hoskins,Mackail-Smith, Ankergren.
6:50pm
Vicente starts along with Dicker in place of CMS and Hammond. Still no Ulloa
6:44pm
There is no team news yet but we are expecting it shortly. Also no news from Albion yet on whether Ulloa has received his international clearance.
6:42pm
Thanks for joining me. Let's hope I will be able to tell you about an Albion win at Blackburn tonight. The temperature was -3 when we arrived here at 5pm but no falling snow.

Very surprising team selection. Are we playing a 1-4-6 formation? Looks like Gus is hoping to keep it 0-0 for the first hour and then bring on a winger/striker to try and nick it in the last 30 mins.

Vicente central striker, CMS on the bench, seems odd, Ulloa still no clearance to play?

The Dagger clearly didn't enjoy his previous attempts playing the lone striker.
Could be interesting.
Re Ulloa - a bit concerning as it means that he is not yet signed! From what I understand his registration can't be done until the clearance is received.
Weird that we had the similar problem with Harley from Welsh FA!

The starting of Barnes should not be a surprise, he is scoring goals right now. Vicente starting is clever, he can win a game in the first 45 and I am sure it is better to have him not chasing a result but rather, setting one up.
Hoskins will probabaly replace him at some point. I cna only see CMS coming on if Branes gets injured and has to be subbed out.

Looks like a defeat, would have been happy to pack the midfield a grab a point, why does he have to tinker. Rubbish crowd, how the mighty fall.
