Wells has done more in the 10 mins he's been on than Martin has done in the last 3 games

[BCFC Grim]

So frustrating to lokk so positive first half and then sit back and struggle to keep the ball in the second.

Is that Martin who got a goal and an assist in the last game…..?

Except score and provide an assist. Arguably Wells should have done better with the header chance.

[RedorDead BCFC]

Another leading position to drawing yet again. 
i hate the football gods, they keep laughing at us. 

[Super]

Thought we were unlucky not to win that. Onwards and upwards

[Andy082005]

Still not good enough though. We really are an awful watch

 

[Henry]

Well that was better.

Better than losing at least

[joe jordans teeth]

Good performance against a top 7 side ,results and performance like this will see us safe I’m sure 

[ExiledAjax]

Entertaining game tbh. Really good 1st half, worse second half once Blackburn changed it up a little after their injury. 

Shame we couldn't see that out for a win, but you have to take encouragement from Williams, Weimann, Benarous, and Semenyo's performances.

An improvement.

[RUSSEL85]

Not great but no disaster, played excellent first half. It’s better, and something to build on!

[YGBjammy]

Didn't lose; guess I'll take that?

[Dan Robin]

We played quite well overall but threw away two points against a Blackburn side that looked beatable: disappointing result. 

Good impact on the match for Wells, less good for Han, a negative one by Semenyo.

I wonder if we'd have even got a point if Nigel hadn't returned. 

I had us down as another loss today so happy with a point under the circumstances. 

[Malago]

The fact we finished the game on the front foot instead of hanging on, is a big plus for me.  Not the ideal result, but much, much better.

Yes indeed. It's shame Scott can only ever seem to manage 60 mins before being done-in. We missed his interplay even before he was subbed.

Williams our Man of the Match.

Yep, just gutting it’s becoming a regular occurrence now.

Did we actually? I wasn't there today but if so that is a plus.

[cityexile]

Would have taken that before the match. We have played worse this year and come away with a win.

Much better than some efforts recently, long way from ‘good’ but in isolation, encouraging.

[Numero Uno]

Back three cost us that game tbh. Panic defending set in from minute 46. They set the tone by literally clearing the ball anywhere and it just kept coming back. All the composure shown in the first half went missing. As for the keeper, try coming off your line now and again and perhaps catching the odd cross.

[WessexPest]

It’s a measure of how dreadful we’ve been lately that I’m somehow mildly relieved we got a point at home despite leading for much of the game.

No idea what Kalas was playing at attempting a diving header clearance when he should have just put his instep through it and twatted it into the top deck of the Lansdown.

And what was that Brereton-Diaz tit doing goading the South Stand? I hope he gets a serious dose of the runs on the coach back up the road and all the service stations on the M6 are shut!
 

All in all a great deal better today but we still cannot defend a lead for toffee and we are infuriatingly content for teams to boss possession at the Gate for long periods.

A bit harsh Andy.....not fantastic but not awful today particularly in the first half.

Better then it has been. But that isn’t much of an achievement 

[pl00peh91]

I have a sneaking suspicion we may not achieve promotion this year
