We looked better and more controlled after they scored They are attacking at pace too easily, we arent blocking spaces well enough Pritchard been poor, but hes better when the game opens up so hopefully as the game wears on he will be better Jobe been ok in possession but out of possession been really poor so far Burstow has def showed glimpses of his ability, poor service to him so far Ba n clarke look like they have the beating of their fullbacks Always good to be leading when not playing at our best Need to lift it 2nd half though as this is a good blackburn side with lots of energy
shows the difference with taking chances to be honest, deffo against the run of play, 2 on target and 2 goals...good to see when we are on the back foot we have defenders who stick it all on the line, can remember not that long ago this game would have been over after half an hour. wonder if TM will call a change or two, the lads have battled well and were starting to get an 'even' standing in the game but still well down ove rthe whole half of course.
Good last 10 minutes. Much better, and Neil goal took some of the wind out of their sails (opposite of what our first one did) Jobe showing his inexperience in CM (trying to let the ball go through and giving it away in our half instead of stamping on it and keeping possession), but the lads only 17 FFS. I reckon he'll grow into that role Ba is brillant. Roberts has a fight on his hands for that spot What does tony say ? You're playing **** but you're winning ? But once or twice this season we've dominated but lost so I'll take it this game for us
Roberts and Anil to come , its looking good to me., Blackburn will not withstand us once the 60th minute is reached, we have the subs and k,to use em.
What we have to remember is that this has happened before. We pick up a few injuries. Mowbray throws a few curve balls. We start badly but the players settle, suss things out and sort it ... ... of course we're not the finished article ffs, they're kids. We really need to just trust in them and believe they'll get it right ... ... Mowbray does and that's good enough for me. We'll be the better team second half imo. They have no other option but to attack and leave gaps for us ... cue Roberts and Aouchiche!
got rid of sky years ago and moved to BT who eventually turned out just as bad, now with youfibre and while i wont say it's the best thing since sliced bread it is much more reliable and only 'downtime' were two slight interuptions that they pre-warned us about anyway. still get the odd buffer though being honest but with the others i got sick to feckin death of 'show one minute, buffer for 30 seconds' .
Well we won the second half of the first half, without the penalty that it seems like we should have had. We'll hopefully win both halves of the second half This would be a fantastic game for any neutrals, but there won't be many of them being as it's on the red dot or dodgy sticks
Blackburn pressed very hard, but you can’t do that for 45 mins none stop. They tired and started giving up space in the last ten minutes and we looked more like ourselves.
Might be talking ****e here but I think because we generally have so much of the ball and dominate possession our defence normally have a quiet game. The 2 games we’ve come under real pressure against Ipswich and obviously tonight we look absolutely all over the place.
I get BT for nothing thankfully but our Sky is £120 a month just for the TV package. Absolute ****ing joke. That doesn’t even include CL/Europa league football. If I paid for BT sports anarl that would be nearly £150. Then they put some PL games on Amazon. Went to cancel a few times and I get that much of a sore lug off my missus I just give in and keep it.
