Good half, largely some very good performances.

Kitching very error strewn half. MVE made a fair few mistakes, but seemed to grow into it.

Can’t say we’re not working hard for it. Hopefully it can continue after half time.

Decent half. Look fragile but we’ve dominated that and could have had 3. Bit more composure and a 2nd goal and we’ve got this.

What a horrible half to watch that was , players are so nervous .
BTA playing well up top , Wright involved a lot more and Mason-Clarke has done well since he came on .
Robins needs them to settle down second half and we can score more goals here .

And that was a fucking disgraceful stamp on Sakamoto

he looks ok walking off…

so one thing from that 45, something or someone has got into the players and got them aggressive, motivated and fired up to actually play football and take the game to Blackburn

don’t know what or who, but on the assumption it’s Robins all this talk of losing the dressing room seems a lot of nonsense… so far

Take that into half time. But we are so suspect at the back. Some of the passing is horrendous and calamity like.

Blackburn look much more comfortable on the ball.

EMC is playing too narrow, he's virtually playing as a striker.

Sheaf does give the ball away at times but he is a different level compared to the rest of the midfield.

Bidwell has limitations but we need to forget starting Dasilva against better opposition

Assante and Mason Clarke look so raw

Wright is the best forward player on the pitch and at least started to show it again

Back Two a shambles

Yes but they’re taking far too long on it so I’m sure their fans would feel like they are too comfortable!

Asante is doing a great job though and if it’s working, it works!

I thought EMC was pretty tidy. He’s stifled on the right as he can’t do what he wants to do

couple of nice interchanges and worked the keeper - alright

Filthy night. Couldn’t see what happened to Saka. All a bit keystone cops. Sheaf is a massive difference in the middle and Eccles the best player on the pitch. Wright and Rudoni have the quality. But what are we doing at the back!

Yeah same. Looks like he’ll need about 20 chances to score one goal. But he’s getting fully involved and when he can keep it simple, it’s worked.

Much better than previous games. Center backs are scaring the life out of me, they look like they don’t talk to each other at all.

Wright much better, despite the people sitting behind me who’ve been shouting about how lazy he is all half.

Nervy half more than deserved to be leading. Hope not getting a second doesn't haunt us again.
Kitching has been poor again. Looks like the pitch is slow running so some passes are under hit.
Mason-Clark has great close control. Thought he has done well. Thomas-Asante works so hard.
Odd wince by Sheaf near to halftime so will be interesting to see if he starts the second half.

Sheaf is making a difference, just hope his fitness isn't an issue. Bidders has been solid, love the terminator and he's showing why he's worth that love today. Haji is back to looking more bambi then up for it again. Thought the knock might fire him up, but nope. Asante is making a real difference in press, and means other forwards plus Rudoni are getting invloved in the press too. Think we could get more down the right but honestly rudoni and bidders are doing well (imagine if wright could join in!).

We’ve had the best of the first half. They look terrified when we pass through the lines and attack with pace, but sometimes we slow it down for no reason.
