    Good Morning Everyone,

    Firstly, for those of us brave enough, here are the goals from yesterday.

    [video=dailymotion;x2atnjg]http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2atnjg_blackburn-v-leeds-united-lufc_sport[/video]

    As far as I was concerned we were on top, and comfortable, until Silvestri's clanger.


    I cannot recall many times Silvestri was called upon to make a (standard)save (by which I mean a half chance that you'd expect any keeper in the division to make)

    Furthermore, I do not recall one goalscoring save that Silvestri had to make.

    Sure, Rovers went close, as you'd expect a home side to do. They had a curling effort just wide from 30 yards with a Leeds player under it, a shot across goal which should have been on target, and even had a shot on target as Rhodes shot at goal from the most acutest of angles (which Silvestri was always going to get).

    In response Adryan had a 30 yard pile driver inches over, was millimeters away from latching onto a backpass and with respect we had the best chance of the game when Antenucci was one on one with the keeper (which Blackburn never managed), only to see his effort come off the post, which then led to Blackburn's second.

    You would always expect a home side to have more possession, but as I saw it, up until Silvestri's mistake, Blackburn did NOT look like scoring!

    Lets talk about the goals.

    There was indecision between Cooper and Silvestri. What should a defender do in that situation. Boot the ball as hard as you can in row Z.

    Why didn't he do that?

    When Cooper brushed against the keeper and the forward, he went down like he'd been pole axed.

    If he had stayed on his feet, jumped over the keeper, Rhodes would probably not have scored. If you watch the replay, Silvestri gets back on his feet straight away, if Cooper had held Rhodes up even a few seconds, Silvestri would have been racing back to his goal line.

    Watching the second goal, where the hell was Pearce and Cooper? They should have crowded Varney out.

    Anyway, watch Varney go down! Would you say that was a penalty. He wasn't going anywhere.

    We fade badly in games, even fcuking three up against a poor Blackpool and they beat us in the second half ... something badly wrong here, because we have dropped points against awful teams

    Very important everyone remains calm and avoid knee jerk reactions. Redders is the man for the job, at least for this season anyway. It's becoming increasingly clear that our squad is of a certain standard, likely a mid table one or poorer. Quality Additions need to be found very soon or we will be in a very serious situation. Whether gfh will allow Cellino to make improvements is debatable as they seem intent on making life difficult for him. Will this current squad have the stomach for a relegation battle, I doubt it.
    Getting a little fed up of the constant excuses and the penalties that never were. We're approaching half way in the season and the table doesn't lie.
    A couple of back to back wins are urgently required for a bit of stability and maybe even the fans sanity. Difficult to see where they're going to come from at the moment

    That's a well balanced view.

    The point I was making is that we reduced Blackburn to pot shots, and they never looked like scoring until Silvestri'sa mistake.

    Cooper and Byram need to stop getting barged off the ball so easily

    Ok let me spell it out in simple terms.
    Our team is unfit. That's why we only compete for half a game.
    Many in the first team arn't good enough.
    Doukara is s**te, Adryan is lazy.
    Our centre backs ( all of them) are league one at best.
    Our italian goalkeeper isn't half as good as many seem to think and his distribution makes him a liability.

    Oh and Redfearn is just another McDonut but worse.

    Sorry to have to tell it as it is, but you armchair fans don't know s**t....
    I am watching it week in and week out.
    We could well be relegated if this carries on.

    How are you making this judgement. They completely bossed the midfield for 75 minutes. We didn't close down and we didn't tackle. They beat us and according to a couple of lads that go to Ewood every game, this was the worst they have played for ages.... They blamed our 7000 fans for creating a leeds home game atmosphere..... From what I saw they were bang on.

    You're applauded for going to games, but that does not make you any more qualified that your opinion is correct.

    I've coached to County level, and have led Hampshire to NATIONAL success. I could say that I have a better understanding of sport then you do!!!

    We both watched the game, you in the crowd, me on the computer. We're both entitled to our opinions, but I am right...

    Ok Mr Expert.

    Tell me why you think the league table, the results and the match stats don't back up your position.
    If you don't shoot you don't score, if you don't tackle you opponents shoot.


    Perhaps you might be a better coach at this level than Redfearn, he has already been found out. I don't blame him, I blame Cellino for thinking he could get this club in the prem with average italian and other second rate talent and not getting a decent manager in.

    There said It. We won't get better till Celino changes philosophy we might get worse though.

    We played counter attack against a Blackburn side that has only lost once at home this season, and that was against Derby.

    And the league table and results are wrong. That's a great comfort.
    Bring all your knowledge on 13/12 I look forward to hearing an expert tell me I am wrong as fulham beat us.
