Shame really because he didn’t need to be if he looked along the line,young lad tho and will learn that,great finish as well 

Yea, did everything right but as you say went a micro second early, top strikers do that all the time but do have the var as a backup.

[Super]

Full time. Decent point to end a good week.

[Rocking Red Cyril]

Oh well decent point against a top six side 

[Alessandro]

Well done City - decent result, good performance.

So much better in this variation of 4-3-3 for me, last two or three performances make me feel we will be fine this season after a pretty worrying run pre-Christmas. 

[Vidal]

A good point. To come back from a goal down against a good side. Yes 10 men but take that and move on.

[Roadrunner]

Good point, the run continues, on to the next.

Not a bad point all in all.  

Every point gained is a bonus as we fight to get clear of relegation, yet our home record remains very poor.

[old_eastender]

Frustrating result, esp. after Blackburn reduced to ten men. Don't understand why NP didn't use Williams, Naismith had a poor game.

Vyner excellent in defence and effectively won us the equaliser. 

[DaveF]

Another decent performance. Would have taken a draw before the match, shame we couldn't nick a winner.

[RedinSpain]

4-3-3 looks to be the business. Fine performance against a top 6 side. On another day we could have scored a couple more.

[Fordy62]

Really good watch that. Very happy. This tanker is turning. 

[Lordofthebling]

Played well, decent point.

But for the love of God can James please get it over 1st man next game 

[Slippin cider]

Blackburn certainly didn’t look like a top 6 side ….

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

Shame we didn't win that, always hard to play against 10 men and Blackburn's first draw of the season. Had to be against us, never mind, on to the next.

[cityexile]

Maybe could have won it in the end, but if you don’t win, don’t lose.

Good response to going a goal down, still unbeaten in ‘23, and another point in the survival fund.

Naismith won practically every single header in the middle of the park.

[The Swan and Cemetery]

Given the midweek marathon, think we did pretty well, kept energy going until the end and played some decent football. Thought we moved it well when they were down to 10 and would need to see a perfect side on view to be convinced Bell was offside, from BCTV pictures thought he was in line with the last man.

Another pathetic rovers performance to add to a plethora of pathetic rovers performances...we managed a draw though, yay I guess ..project continues ..

[petehinton]

An absolutely brilliant week for the club tbh. Huge performance given we played 120 mins away from home on Tuesday.  Feeling very proud of Pearson and co tonight! 

[Bazooka Joe]

A point gained, while some of the teams around us got none, is worth its weight in gold.

They are only there due to the random nature of when and in what matches they score their goals.

Bottom half on GD 

[slartibartfast]

David Brent XI now SEVEN points off auto !

[GlastonburyRed]

Reassuring performance, a few more like that and I don't think we have any fears of relegation given how some of the teams below us seem to be actively imploding.

[Dan Robin]

Shame we couldn't snatch a win at the end, but after playing 120 minutes a few days ago and finding us a goal behind, a draw at home is OK.

As SAF said    "Never underestimate the value of a home point ".

No they are on a bad run and i think they will see that as a good point for them. We played 120 mins in the week and they didn't. All things considered a point is good!

Albeit rather slowly , but I do agree definitely turning .

I honestly think if we can get through this season I can see the the club moving forward from next season.

from what I have heard and what we know there has been some good work done behind the scenes to stabilise things .

the academy is obviously going very well with some bright prospects coming through. If not before I think you can say goodbye to Alex & Antoine next season but that should bare some fruits in terms of funds for new signings .

[Midlands Robin]

We've now got a stable line up and a formation that suits it. The tide has clearly turned and this week has been great. We still need a bit more quality in the squad and hopefully we'll find someone before the window closes but things look a lot brighter than they did before Xmas. 

[ExiledAjax]

Unbeaten in the league in January. One more game to go unbeaten in all competitions. Performances largely matching results. Good start to 2023.

[BigTone]

That to me wasnt brilliant TBH. Feel sorry for Sam Bell being a fanny hair offside. Other than that we were very ordinary.
