With an injury to David Weir and flu hitting Alan Stubbs, I’ve been given a start in tonight’s televised game against Blackburn. I’d rather be selected on form, but you can’t complain about being a chance and I fully intend to make the most of it. The pressure is on, and it may be difficult to pick up the pace of Premiership football, but that’s just part of the game. I’ll be partnered by Joseph Yobo, and although we’ve never played together in the Premiership, we’ve seen enough of each other’s game in training to know what to expect.

Andy Cole is out of the game and it looks like I’ll be up against Dwight Yorke and Matt Jansen – two players I actually faced in a friendly when I made my debut for Blackpool. They’re both very good players, with great technique and an eye for goal. Blackburn aren’t having the best of season, neither are we, and the under performing of both teams creates an added sense of importance. I don’t think it’ll be a classic, but I’d rather we got three points than provided the entertainment and come away with a defeat.
