You have to be prepared and I am looking forward to it.[LNB]"I didn't understand how big the game was until after that replay, which we won.[LNB]"When I scored the crowd went mental and it is probably the loudest I have ever heard Ewood."[LNB]Rovers have won five and drawn one of the last six encounters against their Lancashire neighbours,and although Burnley have made a solid start to the season, they are yet to pick up a point or score on their travels.[LNB]Blackburn midfielder Vince Grella is a doubt for the match after he came off in Australia's friendly against Holland with a thigh injury.[LNB]
