What are we doing? We are awful. Is this the game that brings us back to earth? It really should not be.

Needs a strong word at half time though I think it’s rust more than complacency.

People need to realise our over performance so far this season has been ridiculous and sooner or later we will return to the mean which is a play off contender

Underestimated Blackburn. These are a decent side

Fans may have. The players and staff won't you can have a bad performance without it being complacency.

Fuck me we are drawing 0-0 talk about bed wetting

robbiekeane · 2025-10-18T15:46:28+0100

rushworths distribution has been fucking diabolical

FergieTheFinisher · 2025-10-18T15:46:33+0100

Lampard will have a word and re-organise at half time. Changes at 60 if no improvement, I would imagine.

skybluegod · 2025-10-18T15:46:50+0100

People need to calm down. Decent side and we are in it and had some good chances. Just fell off massively. I'm confident of an improved performance second half.

Esoterica · 2025-10-18T15:47:10+0100

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.

DT-R · 2025-10-18T15:47:14+0100

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

See where we are at end of calendar year. Bet we are top 6 not top 2

stupot07 · 2025-10-18T15:47:41+0100

A very flat half. We've been far too direct at times today.

RoysterE17 · 2025-10-18T15:47:51+0100

Crowd is coming across as really quiet on the radio, tbf a full stadium thought it would sound rocking!

Atmosphere is matching the performance

TomRad85 · 2025-10-18T15:49:59+0100

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

SeaSeeEffCee · 2025-10-18T15:50:42+0100

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.

mark82 · 2025-10-18T15:51:01+0100

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.

Bring allen on push BTA wide torp in the 10 ?

Paxman II · 2025-10-18T15:51:30+0100

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.

stevefloyd · 2025-10-18T15:51:32+0100

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

He didn't work at Sheffield Wednesday either, his goals masked it

Nick · 2025-10-18T15:51:53+0100

They have been the better team. Should probably be ahead.

Emc is struggling a bit which means dasilva is

That's what I'd do.

David O'Day · 2025-10-18T15:52:08+0100

That was shite. Hope fl is kicking their arses right now

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

Sky Blue Pete · 2025-10-18T15:52:57+0100

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

MAFF · 2025-10-18T15:53:19+0100

We need an extra midfielder on.

Nick · 2025-10-18T15:54:13+0100

Their Japanese player is running the game for them.

Ccfcisparks · 2025-10-18T15:54:16+0100

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

DT-R · 2025-10-18T15:54:18+0100

We're being out xG'd. 0.34 to 0.73

Did very well in his absence but he makes the difference in games like this.
