BLACKBURN Rovers welcome Colin Kazim-Richards back into the squad for this evening's visit to Nottingham Forest.

The Rovers loanee has been named on the substitutes bench after missing most of the season so far with a knee injury to boost caretaker boss Eric Black's options.

Mauro Formica returns to the starting line, with Jason Lowe moved into his natural central midfield position in the absence of Dickson Etuhu.

Grant Hanley also starts, with the possibillity of Rovers lining up in a 3-5-1-1 formation.

ROVERS: Robinson, Orr, Dann, Hanley, Givet, Olsson, Murphy, Lowe, Formica, Gomes, Rhodes

SUBS: Nunes, Dunn, Pedersen, Rochina, Ribeiro, Kean, Kazim-Richards

FOREST: Camp, Harding, Gillett, Collins, Cohen, McGugan, Reid, Halford, Lansbury, Sharp, Ayala

SUBS: Moussi, Greening, Moloney, Coppinger, Majewski, Evtimov, Jenas

3-5-1-1 is he packing the mid-field to make Murphy try and look good so he has cover around him at all times!!

I think 3-5-2 is the best formation for the players we have. Murphy cant get around the pitch enough for a 2 man midfield. This would allow him a bit more freedom in a deep lying role. Olsson has the ability to get up and down but sceptical about Orr. It should also keep us a bit more solid whilst still having the 2 forwards available.

Ckr wasnt fit before he got injured, he isnt going to be fit now, big mistake, we have several better strikers than him.

I don't think so...

Don't forget he has scored in all previous games he has played for blues...

He has potential to top leading goal scorer list in this championship...
