    Clarke always looks knackered! He can't be dropped at the minute imo, still think bennette is best off the bench for now. Agree with Ba n Amad starting tho

    I'm sure he tried another one that just didn't come off. To be able to see the pass at his age is one thing but then try to make it happen is another. I think Mowbray is close to 'freshening' things up imo.

    Amad surprised.me.by putting himself about again and tracking back.

    He also played some lovely balls out wide

    Don't think he will ever score loads of goals, but I'd like to see him in the starting 11

    Totally agree with you, love hearing others opinions as thats what football is all about.

    I do scouting and its amazing how different your opinion can be from someone else when you watch the same game - your opinion is always right as its your opinion.

    Yeah i think so as well. These young lads will be sloppy at times but will have so many magic moments as well

    Your last paragraph, I've always felt like that, same again today. Yes he finished it brilliantly but nobody passed it to him it just fell to him, never seems to happen to us.

    It's one of those things I try not to dwell on because presumably it just feels that way like how you only remember the bad refereeing decisions not the ones in your favour, but yeah I know what you mean haha.

    Don't honestly know what more he needs to do to get a start. Massive improvement on Embleton and Pritchard. Looks classy every time he's appeared.

    Interesting to see Michut clear that ball when Blackburn broke late. Didn't have him down as one that would do the defensive work.

    We were robbed of a draw to=night but we had 5 under par players in that first half, yet still looked the equal of Blackburn on their own patch. Yet they sit top of the League to-night , that should give us confidence that despite it all we are well set for a good season. OaU

    They always play forward and want to make things happen in the final third. If it doesn't come off then they try again. In a way, our midfield could be electric in 6 months with Ba, Michut and Dan Neil.

    From what I've read about him I think he has got a bit of bite to his game mate. Might not be the biggest but won't shirk a tackle.

    I thought the ref was a useless kernt....how he missed that penalty I shall never know
    It was a clear offside for the second...but I can forgive human error for that one
    Blackburn I think were slightly the stronger side and won a lot of second balls
    It should have been a 0-0 draw bar the officials

    Notwithstanding, our attacking threat was snuffed out
    Their Defensive Midfield was excellent
    We were never going to score

    We do miss a CF

    Score should have been 0-0. Or even 1-1 with the un-given penalty

    Had we won I think I would have thought we got away with one

    Blackburns manager saying it was a fantastic performance by them.

    His standards are low, suprise surprise the sky reporter didn't ask about the penalty or offside
