[Pittsburg Blade]

A cocky 3-0 prediction from KG….

 

[FinBlade]

Don't know why but Fleck+Norwood makes us look error prone and weak in the middle. Maybe ot's the decision making or speed, i dunno but getting nervous again.

 

[Drunk blade]

Mcburnie has to score that

 

[Kryten]

We are absolutely bossing this game at the minute, goals are coming!

Don’t tempt fate

 

[Colombia Blade]

Don’t tempt fate

To be fair he didn't say for which team!

 

[Kryten]

Don’t tempt fate

When we are playing this well we gotta be positive my man

 

[Kryten]

WHAT A FUCKING GOAL!!!!!!

 

[Rekrab]

Scorcher!!!!

 

[HarryHaslam]

Beckhamesque

 

[FinBlade]

Props to Norwood, it was fantastic goal!

 

[jono_t2000]

Norwood what a free kick!!!!

Wow he's been saving that one up for a long time!!

 

[blade86]

End the season now

 

[Kryten]

Thoroughly enjoying this, everyone is on it!

Except for Wes.

Lazy bastard should be joining the attacks

 

[Captain2]

Great strike from Norwood, class act

 

[Kryten]

Except for Wes.

Lazy bastard should be joining the attacks

Agree he's done nowt all game!

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Fab free kick goal by Norwood. I hope he can score more of them this season

 

[stringjunior]

How are FleckWood working out?

 

[HarryHaslam]

How are FleckWood working out?

Both playing very well especially Norwood, I think the loan signings and competition for their places has done us the world of good because they know they have to up their game to stay in the team now.

 

[Headshrinker]

What a first half!

I would put on a striker that can score, in order to capitalize on all that possession.

 

[Chezzy Blades]

How are FleckWood working out?

When in possession he’s dropping back alongside Egan with Anel galloping off down the right and Baldock taking up a right inside forward role.

I think it’s a plan to give Norwood more time on the ball and it certainly seems to be working. It’s also making Brereton Diaz spend half is time at left wing back chasing Anel which means he’s finding it harder to hurt us at the other end.

 

[Drunk blade]

Good half. Ndaiye on for McBurnie at half time and let's put this one to bed

 

[Revolution]

Completely dominant.

We are composed, inventive, and strong in the tackle when we need to be.

Rovers terribly defensive. They will have to come out at some point.

Super goal by Norwood.

 

[Kryten]

Great first half!

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Blackburn have parked the proverbial bus

Great first half!

When did they have 2 shots?

 

[jono_t2000]

Everyone pretty much 8s or 9s.

Standouts being obviously Norwood with his freekick and Khadra leading the press.

They're gonna have to come out and attack now, would consider putting Jebbo on for Mcburnie for some pace as Khadra doing it all on his own currently.

 

[broomhillblade]

Top of the league - as it stands.

 

[Bobby b]

I might be being too critical because although we have totally controlled that half we haven't really carved them open, ok I think Blackburn have been negative and mostly having all their players behind the ball, so we need to get wilderball 2.1 going and see if cant get anel overlapping like we did against Sunderland.
But overall very happy but at 1 nil its still anyone's
