Back from the match, had my tea and have calmed down a bit. My thoughts on today's game, played so much better than we did in the cup game not hard though.*Blackburn 2 shots on target and both went in which summed up the game, they passed it around but didn't look like scoring apart from Rhodes. After second goal they looked more dangerous but that was because we were chasing the game.Challenge on Carey was late but just about get away with it. Kazim Richards how he stayed on dont know blatant stamp on Elliott and if ref saw it which he must of for booking him how has he got away with it, whole Blackburn team surrounded ref which was a give away.City played really well as a team and were unlucky to not get a point, thought Davies fk went in early on but was side netting, and the passing move which led to Davies hitting the post was a excellent passing move which tore through the Blackburn team.Second half Davies snap shot blocked could of gone anywhere and marvins diving header was excellent he actually headed to well, a slight miss header and would of gone in. Whole team played well and looked compact and steady.*Only down side the two goals, first one was unlucky Cunningham cleared corner back to pedersen and cross came in. Great challenge by Carey in box fell to Rhodes one touch and back of net. Second goal was literally 10 seconds after stead came on, kick from heaton stead lost out fell to Murphy who played ball over top, Wilson wasn't strong enough and was held off by Rhodes and he got to box and scored. Fonts maybe should of got in challenge but from other end couldn't see if he tried to cover angle or stopped.*Elliott and Anderson were outstanding for us today as was Carey.No one played poorly just one of those days that things don't go your way. Play like we did rest if season should pick up plenty of points and won't be meeting a forward as lethal as Rhodes all season.
Thats about what it sounded like on the commentary the diference between the 2 teams was about £8M pounds worth of striker Rhodes 2 shots on target 2 goals Davies 3 shots onto the frame or skimming the woodwork
Just about sums up what I heard on BBC Bristol. Not a great game for either team on a lousy bumpy pitch and sometimes you just have to say "oh well" and go home and regroup. Next game will show us more of what we can do and let's hope we can bring in some new players to spice up the mix.
I was there too & the words posted by Red Robin is spot on...on that showing we still have hope, I can assure you all...COYR's
Most seem to be relatively pleased with the performance. Yet our three centre backs contrived to GIFT two goals to Rhodes. Yes he is a good striker but the two he got were gift wrapped and put on a silver platter for him. Alright playing OK for 88 minutes but we go to sleep for two minutes every match.
No, it will be done by judgement & not by luck.....remember Del moved us away from relegation and then sucked us back down..and then by the skin of our teeth just lifted us back up (JUST)
