    Yeah agree with that but they looked a threat throughout and not many will pick up 3 points there, they’ll be up there I think, if we can keep picking up points when we’re not at our best though we can go all the way

    That first 20 minutes was horrific, but I thought after that we controlled it and they ran out of steam second half,

    Aye. All the time. Not sure we always get right though.

    There is being articulate, especially with a mic under your gob, and being reasonably bright. I'd say most are often the latter, but don't really take to the media stuff.

    He's certainly bright enough on the pitch anyway!

    That's a great thing to hear IMO. They won't be the only ones thinking that.

    They can spend all week worrying about Clarke, and then find Roberts, or Ba, or Bennette or Neil or Bellingham, or Rigg, or whoever else flying at them!

    Is this us?

    No one knows another person's upbringing, education, or circumstances when growing up?
    Some have had the chance of a better education than others, there is no need to be so rude.

    It was in relation to him not knowing we’d won 3 in a row that he played in.

    If you can’t take a throwaway comment on a forum that’s your problem not mine pal.

    I literally can’t be arsed with this world sometimes, Jesus wept.

    I won’t be commenting further on that as it’s an irrelevance. Have a blessed day though.

    Totally agree mate, there’s far too many on here who have to hold the morale high ground.

    The day after the night before and I'm still buzzing after that result!

    We seriously rode our luck in the first half with the players chasing shadows at times but throwing themselves into every challenge to stop them scoring in and around the box. Clarke scared the life out of them at the back and Back had them thinking in the other side.

    I thought Dan Neil took his goal brilliantly and turned the game in our favour and even though Blackburn came out firing in the second half we held firm and started to play our game again. As soon as Clarke scored his second I knew we'd win as I couldn't see them scoring 2 goals or more. Another brilliant team performance - can't wait till Sunday!

    Aye the first touch by Dan to make the space was absolute sauce mate.

    Lovely goal. Love to see him doing more of that cos his all round influence has been immense this season.

    He starts banging goals in too though we have hell on January tying to keep him…

    I think there could be a few clubs sniffing around a few of our players, it's down to the club to convince them that this could be the place to help them realize their ambitions - playing the football that we do, the comaradary that they show each other will hopefully go a long way to keep them here

    You know mate we sat 4th and if we keep up what we doing and more (so much quality to come back still), then it’s gonna have to be big clubs.

    Jack the main fear of course, but if we are looking close for a shot at up, and the clubs in are lower half, that’s gonna help us keep them.

    Window was at a rank time when we’d started slow and some might have looked sideways I think and hope be easier to keep players January.

    A lot of these lads deserve PL and I hope the majority can do it with us, just add some experience when get there.

    I love the way we just come alive with the ball it’s a beautiful thing.

    If like Speakman said we’re going for promotion, for me it would be stupid to split this team up in Jan, i wouldn’t be letting anyone leave especially Clarke he’s invaluable to this team. Well, not fussed about Huggins but doubt there would be any takers for him.

    Still think Huggins can be a big player for us, he’s staying available and let’s give him couple months see what he is capable of.
