Match Day Thread City v Blackburn

Good to see Kalas back on the bench

 

Just got my morning coffee and I'm ready for the off. Good luck to the lads.

 

We just got away with one when Brererton-Diaz misses a sitter. Very noticeable that we still can't get a cross above 6 feet high. Tell the players that the ball won't explode due to altitude.

 

Semenyo has left his shooting boots at home after that shot. It looks freezing down in BS3.

 

Our high press looks very good and we are hunting in packs with a lot of confidence. Beware the breakaway.

 

For goodness sakes get James off taking corners as we lose a good chance every time with a cross that doesn't get close to being over the first defender. C'mon.

 

Now Atkinson has decided to join the lousy free kick crowd. What a waste of a chance if ever there was one.

 

Good first half with few chances and 0-0 seems just about right. The final pass whether it be from open play or free kicks needs to get a lot better if we want all 3 points against a team that can be difficult in their play.

 

Fog coming in now and it’s bastard cold

 

Caught asleep at the wheel and we're down 0-1 to a Dack goal that was way too easy.

 

Semenyo misses a reasonable chance and perhaps that sums up our afternoon.

 

Blackburn now defending in numbers which could be difficult for us to create chances.

 

Semenyo is getting too greedy and losing the ball when a decent pass would have been better.

 

Well done Zak because he pushed forward into space and his parried shot was tucked away by Antoine. Nice recovery and let's go and get all the points.

 

Ayala off for second yellow card.

 

Blackburn down to 10 men, 2nd yellow.

 

Yet another lousy cross from James after the Ayala red card. Don't let them get advantage from our free kick.
