Easy win that one...because we made it easy. With a side that would have taken a lot of criticism, or at least the manager would had we lost, we looked solid and on another night we'd have run away with that.
Cons
Their goal
Eight Blades players close to the kid with the ball, who was shite by the way but we somehow let him inside unchallenged with a clear view of goal and he curled a simple shot in. Very poor defending.
Rothwell
Blows out of his arse after 30 minutes and despite having a few decent touches he looks very much a bit part player and we need more than that. In a slow paced game like that, seeing how tired he looked was a bit of a shock.
Louie Marsh
Sorry kid, just not up to it. I hear Harrogate Town are looking for players.
Campbell
lazy player with a crap attitude who offers fuck all. Should car share with Louie on his way to Harrogate.
Cannon
Missed a few good chances and for a striker he should be putting more of them away.
Pros
Cannon
Took his goal well, lovely control before blamming the second chance over the bar and hit the post after a deflection.
The defence
Thought we made easy work of things with Baptiste looking solid enough and RND having a good game.
Phillips
Upped the pace ever so slightly when he came on but that was enough to get us back in control. Subtle but game changing as Blackburn couldn't handle the change of gear.
Overall performance
Made a potentially tricky tie look very easy. We battled, we controlled the game and bar for a team minute spell when they scored we looked streets ahead of them.
Well done tonight, happy with that.
