Not good. Massive gap between midfield and attack. Presumably JWE is now number 10 and we’re gonna have a go.

This is where Robins needs to grab his minerals.

The system isn’t working and Sheaf is out meaning Hamer has to sit deep and can’t bomb as much.

Bidwell is pretty useless when offence is needed.

Panzo to LWB

Risk Kelly in Sheaf role for Eccles leaving Hamer to roam

Walker for Godden.

Drastic, but as it is we haven’t even had a shot.

Not even a shot on goal, sums up the half. We need to come out firing second half.

Exactly. Different matter if we were winning or level but Blackburn can sit back a bit now and pick us off when we leave gaps.

He’s not even tightly marked. It’s as though Hyam had said that they can afford to leave him and double up on Vik.

As long as it’s just 1 we aren’t out of it, but this is such a limp dick performance a lot’s going to have to change.

That's the thing, they will happily sit back and keep possession.

Just means Blackburn completed twice as many passes as we did which considering we spent the last 30 mins hoofing it down the line to the strikers, it sounds about right to me!

Well it does because the less teams we have to close the gap on the more chance we have of making top 6, though I really think we need something here

Think Hamer is having to try and do everything himself. He's doing more pressing than Godden, and looks our most dangerous attacker. I would have Walker on for Godden , if only for fresh legs chasing down their defenders trying to play tikki takka. The distribution in the final third has been very poor from us. Neither Godden nor Vik has held it up. Bidwell's passing/crossing has been poor. Norton Cuffy has been meh. We can't play any worse second half, but might yet! Better news - Norwich, Watford and PNE are losing. Mad league. Take a point now.

Can't see us scoring can just see them getting more chances we are way off the pace.

I think Blackburn have been very clever. They have spread the ball across the park and stretched us. Added to that, their energy levels have been outstanding and they have simply been sharper than us. They have constantly looked quite dangerous around the box.

We just haven't coped at all well and it needs a shake up at half time. Either formation or personnel.

Not sure we have the players on the bench that can change things though. We need more control in the middle of the park.

If they don;t make defensive changes i think it will, it's a very attacking team from them.

I’ll be gutted if we have got this far and didn’t put up a performance tonight if some sort.

Too many playing significantly below their ability and it appears the occasion is a little too much for one or two.

Gyokeres and godden don’t work together as a pair at all and cuffy offers little or nothing as a wing back.

I don’t think they have. Lots of wayward passes but our system isn’t right so they look better than they are.

It's OK saying he presses, but what's the point if you then proceed to lose the ball almost instantly after you've won it?

In theory (I know) Wilson-Esbrand carrying the ball from midfield could open a bit of space.

Robins needs to earn his salary this half.

Feel like the formation needs changing. 442 anyone?

They're passing out of the press really well. Granted they ain't much upfront

Scores goals at least. The Catch 22 is if he's anonymous and goes behind, he's also one you'd be less likely to bring off because we need goals!

Personally I wouldn't start him just atm. tbf I don't think Robins would either if we had a midfield.
