Missing every attacking midfielder really is a ball ache.

Doesn't make any sense, you need him intercepting the ball on the edge of the box and springing the break away

There's no real movement up front when we did break away.

Some good high pressing early on, which Blackburn in the main managed very well, but when we won something the quality was really poor. Sheaf are best player so a real shame. Hopefully they can sort it out at half-time. Wilson-Esbrand will give more of an attacking threat and likely to draw fouls so he may be a silver lining. I would give Godden 15 minutes all in before bringing on Walker.

I can't believe how overlooked his defensive work is by so many people.

Worst 45 of the season in the biggest game BUT we're only one nil down.
Still in this but we need to come out and get at them.

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

He could certainly help to carry the ball up field if we can get the break one, we had a couple of such opportunities earlier in the first half which we didn't capitalise on at all

Came on to read the half time comments. They didn’t disappoint so many absolute knee-jerkers on here. If we can get a draw here tonight it’s been a good 48 hours.

Big pitch, pace is needed. Get the snails off. Bidwell/godden

If somebody is going off on 60 then they need to put one on their captain who's booked and get in his head. Take the booking.

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.

We need to have a spell of keeping the ball, doesn't need to go anywhere just knock it about and grow our confidence then build from there

First half vs Stoke was worse for me. First half vs Watford was also pretty bad.

Goes back to the poor January transfer window. We play with a box and only had Allen and Palmer fit. He then signed a striker, 2 Wingbacks and a centre half but no attacking midfielders.

Players walking on like we have lost. Hope as soon as the whistle goes that changes

It's the key to how we play in transition.

Looking at the current league table, this result (if it happens) isn't anywhere near as disastrous as it might have been (given Norwich, PNE and Watford scores). Would be 3 points off the play off with 3 games to go. (Sheaf injury is sh^te, though)

Hopefully Kelly doesn't get injured too.

I really don't get the logic.

Seems weird to bring Kelly on at HT after using the sub window to bring on JWE.

Doesn't fill me with confidence but remain hopeful we can up our game.

Makes sense. Bidwell was poor and likely always coming off at half time but they chucked JWE on cos we had a corner.

First minute Cuffey again is drawn into midfield - cost us the goal when you look back on it - his lack of discipline is incredible
