For anyone who hasn't watched it.

Blackburn started better, Santa Cruz hit the post, really should have scored.

But after about 10 minutes we took control and had 3 or 4 good chances to take the lead. Lovenkrands hit the bar with a 1 on 1, should have scored, Best had a shot from a corner which he sliced wide and we should have capitalised when Enrique smashed it across goal.

Enrique has chucked in about 7 or 8 incredible crosses, but Lova or Best haven't latched onto many of them.

Tiote has controlled the midfield, Barton has looked okay, Nolan non-existent (except for grabbing Dunne for no particular reason - he worries me more far more than Barton for lack of discipline). Defence has been good after a shaky start.

Toon army in good voice <ok>

Rangeron for Lovenkrands would be my only change. Just dissapointing we haven't put the ball in the net, could come back to bite us.

HTL!

This worries me the most.
 
Pardew is pissing me off today. The first sub was Perch on for Simpson, and Ranger is only getting 15 minutes.
 
I thought Blackburn were absolutely shocking. Clearly another Stoke City with their sole tactic being long balls hoofed up to the likes of Samba.

I'd hate to watch that every week.
 
Ranger should have had a much longer game and should really have been subbed on for the second half. Really frustrating game that felt as if we were playing with nobody upfront at all. Not sure where the goals will come from against Birmingham.

I dunno, we had opportunities- blackburn are just a very frustrating team- i think nile ranger needs more playing time- we have a few to come back from injury remember!
