Expect Bournemouth to be back in with an improved bid now. Thought he was strong and dangerous. Scott was excellent too. Not seen a player stand out like that for us since Webster. Frankly the thought of Semenyo leaving only fills me with the idea of swelling the clubs coffers. In my mind he is actually quite average. Doubt we would panic trying to replace him either with the likes of Bell coming through the ranks. 3 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment

It was more his use of the ball, slowed everything down and never got off his usual cross field balls. Also his dead balls were awful, never beating the first man (as were James's). Thought when they went down to 10 he was the obvious person to take-off for Williams. 1 Quote Link to comment

Definitely a spring in the young un’s step. 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Reasonable. Showing further resilience by levelling up, better in a range of ways, another for Semenyo. Possible penalty today or no? Either way some steady progress continues. Quote Link to comment

A tad harsh but I can see where you are coming from, when is is bang on it he is unplayable, but being bang on it is a bit of a rarity, I’d prefer to see a front line of pace and movement which Bell, Conway, Wells and Wiemann give Edited January 21, 2023 by bexhill reds Spelling 1 Quote Link to comment

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 A massive point ,imo, every one counts at this end of the table and more positives on the pitch than negatives. Not sure why Naismith is quite so marmite as the team is overall better with him than without. The fact that Semenyo scores is a bonus- however fortuitous it's just another career goal that get's the draw and point..... and we need the money. 2 Quote Link to comment
Offside Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 First half was lacklustre from City and I thought Blackburn were marginally the better side. I feared the worst when they scored, but City showed resilience to bounce back and overall we deserved to win. It looked a certain penalty to me (happy to stand corrected when I see the highlights) and I was gutted when Bell’s goal was disallowed - it looked like a close call. Overall a decent enough point. We would have lost that game a couple of months ago. 2 Quote Link to comment
Red Army 75 Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Well I enjoyed the fight back and passion from the team and then fan base. The players care and that’s all I can ask for. 15 Quote Link to comment

Yeah that’s the only negative to what was an overall decent enough performance. They weren’t great… However, good character from the boys to come from one down, and we looked like the side to win it at the end. Atmosphere was decent again second half 1 Quote Link to comment

Son of Fred Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Good game.. Happy in the end with the draw,,but could Have nicked it! Only complaint from a decent team performance was that we were too passive until they scored.. As soon as we showed a bit of bite we were in control. We'll played Scott,,very mature performance. Naismith won just about everything in the air & benefiting from not playing at the back. Well done Semenyo,,100% effort and a good way to say farewell if that's to be- thought bell was a live wire when he came on & gave us another dimension. Oddly, one way & another the two injuries have strangely done us a favour - funny old game! 1 Quote Link to comment

WRERE Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Thought Tanner was fantastic today in dealing with Brereton Diaz. Rarely got beat and was aggressive and tight to him. Bell has to start next game over Sykes. Sykes had some nice touches but thought he was poor again and doesn't get at his man enough. 5 Quote Link to comment

Bell was a gnat’s eyelash away from scoring 2 in 2. Would have been 2 goals from about 25 minutes of pitch time. I thought Blackburn looked much more panicky after Master Bell came on.

Bodiesaffer Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Tight game, we had the better although we switched off second half for 10mins from where they scored. Too far away to see if Bell was offside. Should of been the winner… 1 Quote Link to comment

Not sure I agree 100% with that but what is exciting are the players coming through the ranks and Bell is just one of those. I look forward to staying safe this season but certainly feel we can push forward next. 1 Quote Link to comment
