I think Dabo was on his heels and not prepared for the through ball but I would have liked to have seen that goal from behind and see the positioning in relation to Grant. Maybe from that angle we may see he would have been unable to change the outcome from his starting position. Yes the argument would then be he should have been closer.Seen it now. Poor to not cover the run. Yep and that tainted his whole performance for you I understand
Do you think so? He certainly didn’t hide, constantly demanded the ball and kept running at their defence. I may be wrong, but I can’t remember him having any chances over the last few games, a result of us not creating clear cut chances despite good approach play.Vik didn’t really do it either. He seems short on confidence to me

due to our atrocious away form.
It seems to me as if we almost look like we believe our own ‘hype’ of being a good passing team & thus try & walk it in a la Arsenal in the Wenger days instead of just taking a shot or getting a cross in - it does feel like we’re slowly coming down slowly from our rise BUT I’m enjoying the ride so far - didn’t expect to have this much of an enjoyable season & with the way the league is this season you just never know….PUSB
Kelly 'scored' against Blackburn by having a pop.I agree we try to walk it in, but that's partly down to how poor our shooting is on the edge of the box. 9/10 Kelly and Sheaf will put it over the bar.

Kane nearly 'scored' today by putting it in the mixer.
We need to lash it more.
Kelly has put a shot over the bar most weeks, same for Maatsen and Sheaf.
O'Hare has shot from the edge of the box and it's rolled into the keepers arms.
Even Gyökeres has had some poor efforts from outside the box.
If we had another 5 minutes we may well of equalised tbf. let's not get too disheartened today. It was a game that slipped away from us and we couldn't complete the comeback this time. In fact the stats gave us the majority possession, though that's a bad reflection of the overall game. Playing Dabo out of position again and not the box midfield against a strong W.Brom side may have been to our determent in hindsight.
I was watching on Sky which did show the play developing from behind our defence. I posted earlier that Dabo was indeed on his heels, his whole body language was wrong, just not engaged, switched off and allowing their player to run across him and through the middle. Dabo just didn’t respond to the run. Very poor goal to concede.I think Dabo was on his heels and not prepared for the through ball but I would have liked to have seen that goal from behind and see the positioning in relation to Grant.

He's playing out of positionNot sure how he's taking one for the team?
Robins said otherwise
Thought Godden and Kelly looked very league 1 today. Godden is a passenger when we aren't creating him chances, he's too slow to trouble teams outside the box.
In the same way he’s not gonna say he played Hamer oh no he did.
In the same way he’s not gonna say he picked Dabo ahead of Hyam. Oh no he did.
I think he would have said if he thought it
It puts value on them it doesn’t mean they will be here for the whole contract.It seems bizarre we have contracted him to 34 and Kelly to nearly the same

In fairness Kelly didn't score v Blackburn, yes it was well struck but it was off target & we got a lucky rebound off the keeper.
He & Sheaf are very poor at long shots & Hamer seems reluctant of late.
Pretty obvious nowClearly wasn't
This is absurd. It was clearly handball and it doesn't have to be deliberately. Even the best players in the world couldn't aim for another player's hand successfully and basically why would they try rather than try to score ir clear the ball?But using that logic we could just aim the ball at a defenders hand even if his arm wasn't up? His hand would be in a natural position at the time and the ball would have hit his hand, so in that case it would be handball?
