Just one booking (Wells, deserved), and lots of opportunities to dive in the penalty area not taken. Enjoyed it. Fair point. I can’t remember this refs name, but I’ve seen him have a number of very good games. He seems to have a bit of a presence and authority about him and communicates clearly with the players.

RedRock Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Another last few minutes that’s reduced my life expectancy by 5 years. Anyone else think Martin should have been subbed first instead of Wells? Suppose proof of the pudding is we held out but it was beginning to look like attack vs defence in those last minutes. Anyhow, onwards and upwards.... and we stood up to one of our bogey ‘physical’ opponents that was often LJs achilles heal, so good stuff lads.

They’re one of the better sides I’ve seen so far this season (Mowbray said they were misfiring tonight) and deserved a point. It might’ve been a good time to play them with their first-choice centre backs out. They’ve still got Bradley Dack due to come back in the new year. Not taking anything away, though. Great result against a decent team. 1st and 2nd it is then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Batman Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Was delighted when Martin signed. Definitely proven his worth with his work rate and effort he puts in. Not too sure he should be one running down the wing putting crosses in, but there we go, second half there he was. Great tactic mind, the very last thing anyone would expect. But another assist. I said a few seasons back that Fammy is an excellent sub option to have. As much as I do adore him, think he's far more effective coming off the bench, changing a game and seeing it out. End of the day. The only score that matters is the one that is printed in the paper the following morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeez Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Hold On Ball. It’s ain’t much to get excited about at the moment but it’s getting results & we have an easier run of games coming up, hopefully by then some players returning to fitness & Semenyo breaking his league duck.

Ska Junkie Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Clean sheet again and clean sheets win games. Not pretty to watch but we're doing it too consistently for it to be lucky. Maybe when our injured are back we will be more expansive but until then..... FORZA SHITHOUSE FC. As an aside, Blackburn play some very nice stuff, a good side.

I definitely agree with Sky that they’ll feel unlucky to have lost. In truth, I think a draw probably would’ve been the right result for both of the two home games we’ve just had... but I’ll take three points over two. That's funny because I thought City at least edged it. For me it was looking likely to be a missed opportunity where we don't make the pressure count, and then we did! We're pretty blunt in front of goal but we carved Blackburn's midfield open time after time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a real threat and it occupies at least 2 defenders if he remains an outlet. Sitting back at 1-0 and completely changing our shape to see out a game is going to cost us at some point. I’m all for fresh legs and extra numbers at the back but the last 10 mins we sat in and invited it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to the Brum game this was a far better showing where we actually created chances and I thought we deserved the points, typical championship dust up where Lady Luck and those ‘small margins’ gave us the points. The early posting from the Blackburn forum shows the diversity of views. Some there thought we edged it and had the clearer chances. now back this result up with another at Rotherham.

Davefevs Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 2 hours ago, italian dave said: Just about to post the same. Every corner we've hit the first defender. Funny, all season the main target for corners has been mid to back post, with the odd near post corner. Pato’s delivery is really good and consistent. Callum put some good deliveries in the past couple of games but tonight he wasn’t on the money. 2 hours ago, bexhill reds said: Runs looking at the ball, no idea what’s around him. I’ve said this for 3 / 4 years. It’s the single biggest thing holding him pack. He has a lot of other things going for him, especially with the confidence he now has / Holden has given him. His mate Brownhill was similar but he improved that weakness. When I watch attacking players it’s one of the first things I look for...can they play with their head-up, do they have a picture of what’s around them. 2 hours ago, Red Shadow said: I think it's a cow's ass actually.

Bristol deserved it" "Bristol opened us up a few times, so it wasn't a surprise to me when they scored. They had two golden opportunities in the first half." Are Blackburn saying that there is only OTIB? Just out of interest and to those in the know, do the opponents of the Slags (is this term still politically correct, as Sags used to be!) just refer to our city, or do they acknowledge their pirate heritage?
