Match Day Thread Blackburn Rovers - Away

Agree but a pity it’s not in midfield.

 

Here I am at the end of the world, surrounded by beautiful wilderness, and I'll be watching us on Sky Sports. It had better be worth it.
Bloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooobirds

 

With 3 CB's sat in, if Sang and O'Dowda get forward to provide width and service, there're opportunities here for Robbo and Harris - but can they take them this time?

 

Committed this lunchtime, so I'm going to record and watch it "as live" later this afternoon. Consequently am signing off on here cos I don't want you lot spoiling it for me.

To use a frequent clingo expression though spelled correctly.........BLUEBIRDS!!!!!

 

So, how have we lined up?
BBC now has us 4231 with Simpson at LB.

 

Thought you were in swansea till I read that bit

 

Lucky boy Simpson

 

Can't believe how often we're getting done by the long ball over the top from them.

 

'Long passes' apparently

 

I wouldn't say we're being done. Few threats from that tactic with our 4th centre back Allsop covering most.

We're doing okay just about with the occasional threat on their goal including one shot on target from Robo.

Need to maintain concentration second half and hope for an opportunity from breakaways like we just had with Harris shooting just wide.

 

Terrible surface

 

Created a few openings just can’t quite finish them.

Terrible pitch.

 

Agreed. The ball is dropping pretty much dead when it hits the ground.

Suppose it's never a good sign when even the groundsman responsible for it describes it as "stodgy".

 

Players doing well to judge the pace of their passed with the ball running so slowly.

 

I've seen porridge with better bounce.

 

Echo BfB's comments, we're doing ok... Not great but maybe just about enough to get something from it if we keep working hard.

Not impressed with some of Blackburn's moaning and chipping away at the ref all the time.

 

Shows we're getting to them and the locals are turning ugly - not difficult!!!

 

Bugger. Hard road back into this now if we are going to get anything from it.

 

Positive subs... Even if Ojo is one of them.

 

Isaak on now for Robo. Robo doesn't look happy. Straight down the tunnel.
