That said Blackburn will undoubtedly adopt the same strategy as Millwall did last night so possibly LJ might consider making changes. To me the game was lost in midfield last night. It was often 5 v 3 and why the likes of Baker found an out ball difficult to find - hence the many sideways passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmite Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 We looked tired last night and were well off the pace. We won very few first balls and even less loose balls. They won most of the important headers in both boxes but we couldn't get our passing game going. Millwall won the tactical battle and deserved their win. LJ may make changes for Blackburn but there were quite a few off their game last night. His selection will be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 In the case of Szmodics and Wright only they think they should be playing. In the case of Korey, I think a case could've been made for him to have played last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we have an injury crisis - and he plays a blinder - I can't see how he can re-re-establish his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazred Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Listening to SS on Robins TV last night, he certainly has the right attitude. "Keeps working his plums off in training" and prepared to wait for his chance. Given Palmer's sub par cameos recently, i think he could feature soon.

Riaz Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Szmodics and Korey smith.. deserve a chance... But bailey wright??? thats a gamble, to say the least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Playing Szmodics out of nowhere against the best side in the league at the time, then banishing him from the side since and making him do co-commentary is out of order imo. Hardly given the opportunity to show us anything since pre season where he was excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Robin Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 We had our best performance last Saturday with a newish set up so stop tinkering and stick with that for a few games at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, Johnson seems to play him right side of a 3 & he then gets isolated against tricky wingers and struggles. I'd like to see Szmodics more, perhaps him off of Diedhiou and rest Weimann.

I thought Brownhill, Nagy and Massengo all had poor games last night, giving the ball away far too often. I haven't watched the lowlights yet, but at the time I thought Bentley should have saved the first goal. Would liked to have seen NE whipping crosses in from the left rather than having to check and cut in every time. Fammy had a good game I thought. Bad day at the office, it happens.

That’s unlikely to happen. Brownhill, Bentley and Wiemann are the first three on the team sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nagy, Massengo and Brownhill we’re outnumbered by the five Millwall had across the midfield. None of our three had any time or space to play any telling passes. They were always under pressure. The Lions did a job on us - plain and simple. I daresay Blackburn will adopt the same strategy on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
