[Champagneblade]

Wrong defensive selection exposed

It was by far the most obvious XI to select.

Who are you bringing in? We only have a half fit Baldock or Clark who has been injured and ill.

Don't see how he had much option.

 

[derfblade.3]

Almost had a Kurt Zouma moment. The cat walked in just as Blackburn scored.

 

[The Hecky Flecky Shake]

He’s been the best midfielder by a mile what game are you watching fleck & Norwood cost us a goal and barely do anything to drive us forward

He’s had one decent run to the byline and basically watched the rest of the half. Don’t get me wrong I think he’s class when he wants to be.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Wrong defensive selection exposed

A midfield with little pace that can’t get back quick enough. 5/6 v 3 for the goal.

 

[JasonEllis]

I think Rovers look poor, not a good side like Boro for example, but they have a pattern to their play and energy when they break. We seem to have no real pattern save for relying on some individual skill from Norwood/Bogle/Ndiaye or a goal from a long throw/set piece.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Start not inspiring

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Disgusting start, they look knackered

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Wtf are we doing? Sunday league defending....WAKE UP

 

[Headshrinker]

same old... create all the chances and don’t score, they get one from a counter and should’ve been 2-0 up, finish 2-0 Blackburn this

That is what a lot of people wanted though? Been creating the better chances for all three(?) recent losses. According to quite a few that is better than winning despite not being on top.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Sunday league midfield

 

[JJBlade]

Thought you'd turned it off?

I have

 

[blades78]

Another game where these 3 in midfield get out run.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Upfront.....

 

[Headshrinker]

Make some changes!

 

[blades78]

Not mobile enough to support our forwards and same getting back when opposition break

 

[drblade]

This is bullshit

 

[Blacksea]

This is turning into a shit show, nowhere near good enough,mistake after mistake.

 

[Bell4]

Wrong defensive selection exposed

Absolutely

 

[beatific blade]

 

[drblade]

Get Basham off ffs

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

The whole midfield is disfunctional and being bypassed constantly.

 

[Headshrinker]

How are they not booked for swarming the referee? Basham should have seen a second yellow as well.

 

[Drunk blade]

Needs to take basham off before he gets sent off

 

[Bobby b]

This game is slipping with this second half display

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Norwood and Berge need removing.

 

[FriethBlade]

Our midfield is so slow it's untrue

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

After the lord mayors show. This is worrying

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Get them off are you blind Hecky.

 

[Bell4]

Creating nothing

 

[Bobby b]

Theres a sending off coming
