[Davalon]

Really disappointing second half display sad to say

 

[Northernsoulblade]

some of our ball control is embarrassing today

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Blackburn far more aggresive without the ball and very good at passing with the ball,showed us up.

 

[Rifleman ITK]

We have been very disappointing for weeks, Hecky doesn’t have a clue IMO, he’s been blessed to have a team full of quality but doesn’t know what to do when it goes wrong. I still don’t see boro catching us but it’s going to be very close.

 

[Bobby b]

This 2nd half has been fucking awful, the midfield has been shit, berge is having one of his invisible games, when he has the ball he either holds on to it too long or picks the wrong pass, of hes a 20m player then I'm worth at least 5m.
The 9nly player that comes out of this ok is mcburnie, hes worked his rolled down socks off

 

[United Aren't Back.]

What's the 'incident off pitch' spoken of so mysteriously by Danny Mann..?...

 

[drblade]

Tuesday night is huge

 

[Headshrinker]

Poor delivery but why isn't Foderingham up for those?

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

What a load of

 

[Geordie Blade]

Poor delivery but why isn't Foderingham up for those?

Exactly right. At the very least, it unsettles the other team. Nothing to lose at that stage.

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Fuck me u get a corner last second and plant it over the bar fuckin useless

 

[SB_90]

that is disappointing. this is points dropped. as especially 1st half when your on top as much as we were. you have to capitalise. & all throughout the match we lacked the composure in front of goal & we cant blame the cup because bar 2 its the same Blackburn team that beat Leicester midweek

 

[PrestwichBlade]

As well as we managed the game midweek, that was the complete opposite. Awful

 

[Gimli]

Said at half time, we just need to up it after half time and we’d have them.

We didn’t up it, we downed it and Blackburn dominated the second half.

Didn’t deserve owt out of that really.

 

[blades78]

They wanted it more.

 

[71Blade]

Summed it up perfectly they wanted it more. That's unacceptable too many coasting lack of quality lack of desire poor afternoon not one player over a 3 mark Pompey ..
UTB

Spot on. Berge in particular looked like he'd never kicked a football before. Every touch bad.

 

[Chingo]

WTF was that second half ?
McB and JLT apart it was dire

 

[1973Blade]

So frustrating, so slow today. Need to.get a result at Reading today, need a few changes.

 

[Mendi]

Feel like season is over

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Blackburn scrapped their way to victory. Defended well I thought and got lucky when it counted.
Their one shot on target was enough.
Was a nice goal though and they always looked dangerous on the break.
Much better performance from us than last year at that shitty potholed place.
I’m starting to feel some of Pommps angst at Berge. These high tempo slogs aren’t his cuppa tea.

 

[Blacksea]

All Blackburn needed to do was get the basics 75pc right,not even to do anything special,it was that comfortable,and we would have struggled to get a point anywhere in the division on that showing.

 

[FriethBlade]

Our midfield isn't good enough off the ball with Berge Norwood and Fleck playing. They carved through us at will.

At the moment we are relying on acts of brilliance by individuals to win games.

 

[Stevo]

Drop berge, play mcatee and Doyle together, sick of seeing berge turn up and play like he's doing us a favour just being here, fuck him off as soon as we can

 

[LS5 Blade]

Boro provided a blueprint for how to walk through our midfield. Every team in our league bar Watford have taken advantage since.

Hecky just shuffles the deckchairs on the titanic instead of working out a plan B on how to fix it!

 

[Champagneblade]

That's a shocking result.

Had enough opportunities first half to have put this to bed yet came in losing.

It's alright Bash roling his eyes but he should have fucking killed the keeper when he went on that run and slipping on his arse. Then he had a free effort with time to steady himself and skied it.

Let's take a moment to remember Rotherham stuck 4 past these.

They have to have a serious look at themselves in the mirror if that second half is the shite they are going to come out with in the run in.

The only team that can defeat Sheffield United is Sheffield United and we're absolutely doing that.

XG according to sky is 0.7 vs 1.3 in our favour. We have to show bottle. It's not acceptable to be pissing points away from home like this at Blackburn, Millwall etc. Such a nice goal. Just like Watford. Why didn't someone foul in the move to stop it? Why couldn't they get back?

 

[Chingo]

Sandra turned up up today not Sander but why keep picking him out when there was 8 others equally as bad?
@scapegoat

 

[JOE SHAW 1956]

I love Chris Wilder and wish he had stayed with us.... but foe me Sander Berge has got to be the worst 20 million pound player in history ! not rubbish but not Premiership or worth any where near 20 mill. and he seems undroppable ??. .

Worse than Brewster?

 

[Espania blade]

They were too quick for our midfield, Ndiaye was marked out of the game, i thought Berge did ok,
Let's face it they did a job on us, fair play to them,
We need to step up on Tuesday!
