Started ok, good pressing but rushed passing and didn’t get any better as half went on. Just look nervous

covmark · Apr 19, 2023

Poor. We need to at least have a go second half.

jordan210 · Apr 19, 2023

Need a rocket up are arses at half time

Sky Blue Harry H · Apr 19, 2023

Now sort it out MR. We've played below par and not put their defence under any pressure.

stupot07 · Apr 19, 2023

We have been absolutely owned by Blackburn.

We will lose this 2 or 3 nil.

Either Kelly is fit enough to play or don't have him on the bench. I don't really want him on the pitch but we're now playing someone out of position. Howley good enough to start the other week dropped for Kelly too.

Are we going to change formation here or is it just put jwe on and hope?

Hamer to DM and JWE to AM I reckon

Can't pass, Sheaf off - not the finest half of football!

Sky Blue Pete · Apr 19, 2023

That was bad why play for 0-0 and not defend the cross???

Hope they show some balls second half

Nick · Apr 19, 2023

Dog shit half. Need a decent bollocking at half time.

Then a crunching tackle after half time, get the fans and players up for it

PVA · Apr 19, 2023

Godden and Bidwell having stinkers

Fadz, Eccles, poor

Hamer and Gyokeres anonymous

Not good.

Sky_Blue_Dreamer · Apr 19, 2023

We looked very nervy so far, and it's showing in our passing. At least it's only 1-0, but Sheaf going off is an absolute pisser as he's been our best player IMO.

Need to regroup and come out with a bit more purpose second half. If we can click into gear we can definitely get back into this. Look at the Watford game - we were shocking for ages and got a draw.

Might bring on Walker for Godden at HT.

skyblueiom · Apr 19, 2023

Kelly wouldn’t have been worse than this shower, but now we have the two left feet of jwe to match the two of bnc. We’re not getting anything from this. Awful

ProfessorbyGrace · Apr 19, 2023

Absolute garbage so far.

Norton Cuffy is the only one putting a shift in going forward, Hamer and Vik have had zero impact whatsoever.

One corner and zero shot on goal (?). Drastic changes needed, MR needs to go for broke and change it up.

Marty · Apr 19, 2023

We are not out of it at all, bit more quality from us and we'd have opened them up. Play with the usual quality and we'll be right in this.

I doubt we're playing for 0-0. Draw not really any good for us.

fernandopartridge · Apr 19, 2023

You can see why they've spent virtually the whole season in the top 6 and we haven't. BBD a lot more involved than Gyokeres who just isn't really that effective ever alongside Godden.

olderskyblue · Apr 19, 2023

Can’t pass, can’t control. Been a standard for a lot of our games. Let’s hope these improve 2nd half.

Brighton Sky Blue · Apr 19, 2023

Nowhere near our best and again it’s when everything else is going our way. Far better than we’re showing.

Preston and Watford getting their arsenal handed to them ona plate

We had no attacking impetus that half that was down to tactics

TomRad85 · Apr 19, 2023

Absolute wank. Unfortunately says it all about our squad that a midfielder goes off and has to be replaced by an out of position young full back. I think Godden has been probably the worst of the lot.

I think the squad has been pushed as far as it can go, this season is a little too long for them. Hopefully they can find something in the tank in the second half.

SeaSeeEffCee · Apr 19, 2023

Pretty dreadful first half. We just don’t look on it at all.

To be honest the performance level since we got back from the international break, QPR and last 30 mins of Watford aside, hasn’t really been play-off level. Hopefully we can come out firing second half, but I can’t say I’m confident that we’ll be able to turn this around.

Esoterica · Apr 19, 2023

Wasn't at all fluid, and we were our own worst enemy at times. Need a bit more from the wing backs so we don't end up with a flat back 5 and 3 midfielders 10 metres from them but if we can tweak that at halftime and when the space opens up in the 2nd half, no reason why we can;t get right back in this.

fernandopartridge · Apr 19, 2023

I'm glad he didn't bring Kelly on, it's been difficult enough for young fit players to keep up with their energy in midfield so understand why he's brought JWE on

Sky Blue Pete · Apr 19, 2023

Looking at the other scores what an opportunity we are passing up

CovLis86 · Apr 19, 2023

Stating the obvious, huge 45 minutes coming up. If they can show the bottle and come back and win this, I think they will go all the way.

Paxman II · Apr 19, 2023

Blackburn average and we are not at our game. We can beat these if we play to our capability. that means a good second half from Hamer and Vik. Time to step it up and think what's a stake. The task is now more difficult with Sheaf off. i would take Godden off and put Kelly on and ask the club captain to play the game of his life.

What would be nice, would be if they could, you know, pass to each other. At this rate, any attempted studs up would miss horribly and take out out a teammate.

Tommo1993 · Apr 19, 2023

33% possession. Has to be wrong.

Ross1247 · Apr 19, 2023

Poor first half all round, passing is way off and nothing is coming off going forward. Even if we could rescue a point and other results stay the same it wouldn't be a bad night.

Doesn't matter unless we win. 0 shots. 33% possession. Dreadful.

We had 2 chances to test the keeper in the first 5 to 10 minutes. Poor passes cost us Both times, when they were actually simple passes to make.

Will that space open up though? Blackburn don't need to press forward now and it's not as if we look like troubling them

We’ve yet to win a game after going behind all season.
