So many positives today. Another clean sheet, Wednesday are shit, Souza immense, Wednesday lose, Moore plays his best game of the season, Wednesday get hammered, JLT slips seamlessly back....

Looked lost today but willing the lad to do well.

Great performance all round for us

Ref an absolute farce again, O’Hare’s booking was a joke and then the elbow - not commenting on Pears yet as didn’t see replay

There’s 4 officials all in contact with each other, surely 1 of the useless fucks can see what happens week after week

I watched the Blackburn I follow today. They equally thought the ref was shit, but obviously for a while different set of reasons, almost opposite to yours.

The ref probably thinks that is a good result. "If everyone thinks I was a biased useless shit, then I probably did ok"

Genuine question - what was the point of bringing Seriki & McCallum on at 94 minutes ?

To tighten the defence obvs. We didn't need to score a third. It's not rocket science ffs

For 4 minutes when 2-0 up !

 

[Keen Blade]

I've just become a Millwall fan - hope they smash Burnley tomorrow and Leeds in midweek

 

[1066blade]

For 4 minutes when 2-0 up !

Shit happens! But yeah, I've probably witnessed more fuckups than you. Been going since 1959, I just never learn do I

 

[1066blade]

Also, ( he adds, grassping at credibility straws) Wilder may have a 'clean sheet' bonus I his contract!

Thought I had this covered, but you simplified it.

Thought i had this covered but, that's the one.

 

[William Large]

A other professional display with no little flair either. Could easily have had a couple more. Have to say that Blackburn were pretty shit aside from Cantwell, who was tidy on the ball.

Moore was superb today, a real display of what he can being to the team and some decent footwork too.

Some dreadful refereeing decisions - in particular around Moore, he rarely gets any decisions despite being battered for most the game.

A very satisfying day all round really.

 

[1973Blade]

Only our second win there since 1986, a really good victory today.

JLT helped by Rovers having little in attack

 

[Sean Thornton]

Appearance bonuses

Or, and l know this is a bit left field but stick with me here, there’s injury time to play and putting on an extra defender could, and l reiterate could, be a tactical move…….

 

[Sean Thornton]

JLT helped by Rovers having little in attack

So we won because Rovers were shite? Okay.

 

[Keen Blade]

So we won because Rovers were shite? Okay.

Not at all.
We were terrific today.
All I said was that JLT (who hasn't played for ages) was helped on his return by facing a relatively poor Blackburn attack.
No criticism of him or the team.
You're looking for something that isn't there.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Know what you mean but 2-0 up ?

We always good for a draw being 2 up with 2 minutes to play!!

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

No wait that was last year

 

[Keen Blade]

Another thing in evidence today was a growing team spirit.
A good example of this was all the mopping up that Souza and others did for Blaster who had a terrible period of giving the ball away.
No one showed any frustration , just got on with the job.
Souza & Moore were inspirational today in their tireless application.

 

[Snowflake]

No wait that was last year

…or August this year ?

 

[Houston_Blade]

I set the alarm for 7am here in San Antonio. Weather is much the same as yours.

Nice one. Was supposed to be in San Antonio this afternoon for my son’s match but luckily they switched the fixture to Houston. I love a good 2 and a half hour drive each way for an hour’s football!

 

[Keen Blade]

if we had a cutting edge in the last 3rd we would have won that game today by 4 or 5 theres.4 teams in this league us leeds sunderland and burnley 2 from those 4 will get automatic

We can slightly mitigate the effect of the 2 point deduction by ensuring we have a better GD than our rivals should we finish level on points.
We haven't scored 3 in a game yet this season and sometimes I think it's us taking our foot off the gas.
But today was the first time I sensed that we were really going for it and I thought we thoroughly merited more than 2-0.
For his top performance , Moore deserved at least one of his two on-target headers to go in.

 

[Frank the tank]

Didn't expect such an easy win. Even at 1-0 up we looked comfortable.
Don't think we were great but we made Blackburn look so poor, so we must be doing something right.

Anyone seen Anstonblade1?

Always predicts a defeat and only ever appears in match threads when we're losing telling us how bad we are.
He hates everything about our club, always says he hopes we're not promoted and hopes we finish mid table.

Anyone would think he was a pig fan.

He's just one of many pigs pretending to be blades on here
Can't think. Of anything sadder personally

He did play well though to be fair to. Him

Looked lost today but willing the lad to do well.

Wilder's just picking him out of a sense of embarrassment, doggedly trying to justify the £23m he spunked on him. It's pathetic really.

 

[1066blade]

Gives the ball away, falls over, gets injured, gets taken off ( thank fuck) rinse and repeat, week in, week out.

£23m.

If you don’t know, you don’t know.
