Goals settled us. We were much better for the last 30 minutes and great to get another 3 points on the board.

We clearly put a lot more thought into our recruitment. It's leagues ahead.

Birmingham threw money at it and hoped something stuck.
Why I wasn't gnashing my teeth at the close of the window; yes, we could have done with one or two to boost the squad, but I only want us to sign the right players.

Cracking goals from Torp and BTA today! Rushworth deserves a big shout out for saving that shot in the first half that looked like it was going in.
First 15m looked good, rest of the first half was a bit flat. Struggled to create any big chances and thought Blackburn probably deserved a goal or 2 today.
Onto the next one! Pompey will be a tough game!

Thought Rushworth had a cracking game today. Is it 5 clean sheets in a row?

That was a real marker for me. Blackburn turned up like a non-league side in the cup playing their hearts out. Pressed like lunatics while we were very blaise.
Once we got the goals, they looked lost and knackered.
We've seen top teams do it for years. We've been on the wrong side of it many times where we've played well and worked very hard but lost to a better side.

His kicking was crap. Some good saves and punching though
Another clean sheet but not cracking game for ne

Agreed. His distribution was awful today.

That’s fair on the distribution now I think of it. Still think he made some big saves and kept us level at times

Yes he was good aside from the kicking. One save in particular was very good. The way we played, I doubt we win if Blackburn took a lead.

He wasn’t the only one tbf
You have to question the efforts of the players who are the supposed recipients in my opinion also, but yes.

Ya we didn't win a header most of the time however he out loads out of touch
Saka is only one who seems likely to win a header at times lol

A few strange pieces of play from MVE I thought, wildly shanking the ball high up in the air.

Credit to Blackburn, I thought up until we scored they were by far the better side
Thereafter imo their confidence shattered and we controlled the game well and professionally

Right moaning little gimp, though.
A time in the first half he was moaning at the referee for a good five minutes for an absolute non-foul

It was the same the year they got relegated. Anyone who remembers that season actually looked with envy at Blues recruitment when Eustace was doing well there.

It’s impossible to get a signal in the ground so having just got back I’ll give my view.
Overall we have to accept we aren’t winning every game by 5 goals.
They attacked us pretty well in the first half but the defensive combination of Thomas and Kitching gets better every week. Kitching especially was great. The keeper made the one great save he needs to.
Wright I’m sure will get low marks but he worked the defenders and we have in him a forward defenders fear.
Sakamoto even when not playing well has incredible energy levels. Thomas Assante the same and had his best game for the club.
Once we scored it was actually a very easy game - we then controlled it.
So many players have improved under Lampard.

Yes remember it well. It was dire recruitment then and it's dire recruitment now. You'd think whoever their head of recruitment is must be under some pressure.

Even the £1 million paid for Lyndon Dykes looks too much.

So proud of the treatment Ellis gets. Everyone genuinely behind him to do well when he comes on. Cos we can be right bellends to players sometimes. Helps when you’re top of the league I guess.

He got some stick in the Luton game early in the season I think. Overall I think the crowd is relatively supportive but as you say more so when we're just generally doing well.

Scotland beat us at Wembley, the year after our World Cup victory, so therefore claimed THEY were now the best team in the world?
The tempo was the biggest culprit today I thought and it may have been against the orthodoxy that the breakthrough came from broken play around the pen area,is that a sound judgement?
