Tactics need a tweak. We need to stop trying to get the ball wide and playing crosses into a box with 3 big Blackburn centre backs and start trying to get players driving with the ball into the channel down the side of the centre backs.

Do we bring Woolf, KKH, and Simms on at HT and go 352? I would. BTA not in the game. Tats not in the game.

Easily the worst half of the season .. nothing to do with the international break we arent a special case

Miss Rudi on flat days like this. Don't think BTA is really working in that position today, would be tempted to shake it up a bit.

Games flat, crowds flat! Just a pretty poor half of football. Needs a change at HT i feel. We can win this, but we look half speed and stuck in 1st gear.

I think this is a problem we have every time Sakamoto plays, we become necessarily one dimensional

Lampard got the set-up wrong imo. Playing 4 up front won’t work against teams not named Sheffield Wednesday. They’re winning every long ball and heading away every cross. Need to have a rejig at HT and start trying to play some football. Allen on for EMC for me.

This referee is weird. Giving some really soft fouls, then missing some really obvious ones. Thought it was a penalty on EMC early on, but not seen a replay.

We are not playing our normal game. I've barely seen Grimes start it from the back? Long balls straight to 3 centre backs all day? This is not how we play normally. Have we over compensated for how the opposition have set up? We need to take control and get the job done. We could easily be a goal down, so reality needs to kick in and a performance put in second half.

Rushworths shocking kicking, Da Silva giving chances away Grimes kicking into touch,Torp looking poor, Haji still on holiday Mason Clark lying on the beach next to him . They need a fucking rocket at half time

Da Silva & MVE and less so CHs don’t look like they want the ball off the keeper

So too many long balls of poor quality

Looking for difficult ball in last 1/3 and quality lacking

Playing like they’re believing all the hype!

Back to passing the ball quickly on the floor in 2nd half hopefully

Emc was ok and mve
Everyone else a little bit below par
Thomas having a fab game
Super save from Rushworth
Could easily have been behind but defending when not playing well is also part of the game
Need to be braver

Losing the midfield battle as expected. I'd get Allen on.
