According to the Sunday papers, not giving opponents time on the ball was what they did to Leeds last week - and had Leeds rattled until the crazy last minute.
Blackburn are no mugs and are the sort of side that often take points from us by means of those tactics.
Extra credit to the players for beating our own demons :)

Good manager that Mowbray, not as good as Chris though.

2nd half v WBA was worse than the 1st half today.

Second half Vs Derby too
Last season at Hull was it? The absolute shit show
Weren't great against Boro either if you go on goals conceded.

Weren't free flowing today in the first half but equally didn't really look in trouble and had a few decent efforts.

Can't keep up our full tilt, full power, red hot, maximum pace all the time can we.

Weren't allowed to be free-flowing, either by the opposition or the referee
 
Blackburn played with a high tempo, constantly pressing us but without really creating us many problems.

Why Basham and Smallwood were sent off I’m not too sure but when it went 10 v 10 we controlled it.

The Bash red lifted the crowd again though ! Why it takes that to get us going I don’t know. We need that from the start. Every game is a Cup final, we maybe 4th but we are punching above our weight up there and need to get behind the lads from minute 1 not only after a dodgy decision

Underwhelmed? What on earth do you want? In the 60 years of going to watch United that was one of the best feelings along with the Derby game that i can remember in a long time. Lets turn the clock back 3 years under madkins and think of all the satisfying games we witnessed back then eh?.

To be honest I enjoyed the 4-0 win v Bradford on boxing day!

It's been pretty grim all season, the last two home games in particular. We've lost our way and it's only going to get worse in January when we undersell our best players.

Yeah well done, ever thought about being a journalist ?
Take three or four words out of a number of words that somebody says and twist them into something completely different
There's not one single word of untruth in what I have said,
It's fucking pathetic

Birmingham was infinitely worse. Along with Southend at home, our most inept display under Wilder.We were excellent first 25 today, Blackburn dominated the next 20, without really hurting us. Blackburn are a good side so it was no real surprise.

Southend was League 1.......I said Champ.

Either way, no one can seriously say that the 1st half was anything other than shite, whether that be down to Blackburn or the ref.

More relevant to this thread though is the thought that we are contenders for promotion and all i was saying was that based on that 1st half performance, there is no chance. I also said that it was a one off and that hopefully if we strengthen in the right areas in Jan then who knows..

The last 15 minutes were very good. Before that, not so. But that last 15 was very much worth the admission.

I'd agree with this but I'd extend it to include the bit when we were 10 vs. 11 too - Rovers never looked like scoring. Professional performance from Bash red to their red and then destroyed them when the space appeared at 10 vs. 10.

Totally agree pal. I mainly meant in regards to entertainment and action. The players and fans were brilliant during us having a man less.

Why don't you enlighten me? Seriously, when was the last time we performed that badly in a half of football? I don't remember it happening since we were in the Champ?
Click to expand...

Well I don’t accept your premise that we performed badly so we’re on different tramlines. I’ll just mention that I’ve seen us play far worse than that as recently as the previous manager and many many times under various managers without going back ‘a very long time’.

Do you enjoy debating how bad your own team is after two fantastic victories?

We're not the complete item just yet, we get lost and laboured in too many games
January transfer window is vital this season, it could be the making or breaking of us

I’ve not heard anyone claim we are the complete item. It’s not reasonable to expect we should be either. We’re doing magnificently well to simply be where we are, so soon after the six years in league one.
 
There are times when I come on here and think " Hang on , I must have clicked the wrong button and gone to Porktalk " and this thread epitomises that feeling .

We've just come through two games against very dangerous and well organised opponents having gained all 6 points , scored 6 goals and conceded 1 and yet there are still those who find it necessary to look for any negatives they can possibly find .

Were we at our best for the whole 90 minutes? No . Did every single player play to his maximum potential ? No . But the same criteria apply to every match that has ever been played in the entire history of the beautiful game and those who can't or won't accept this are in for a very big disappointment and would probably be better off taking up stamp collecting or trainspotting.

Anyone who watched today's game should have come away with one abiding memory , that of once again having had the privilege of watching a master craftsman in the art of goal scoring at work , a privilege that many football fans never see in their entire lifetime of watching their club .

FFS .

You’re not suggesting we can be somewhere between fantastic and garbage, are you?

That’s pretty intellectual stuff for some of our fans.
 
Good to see strong finishes.Teams have been holding tight until we run out of energy in the 2nd halfs.
Today Blackburn just couldn't keep up with our pace and energy,they were steamrolled.

Originally, you said a very long time and then changed it to the Championship, which is a season and a half and not a very long time.

Now, people are giving examples of when we’ve played worse than today’s first half (I agree with most of them) and you’re in denial.

If that first half is as bad as you believe, you’re following the wrong team, really. Alternatively, stop digging.

Yes, absolutely

Unbelievable...I’m actually seeing negative comments after the last 2 games! Unbelievable! We go to 10 men, look ok and then when they go 10 men we destroyed them, please tell me where the negatives are?!

Yer not frum Sheffield if yer cahn’t see negatives pal :-)

Which blows up the theory that we’re knackered after an hour....

I wonder if we've purposefully changed our approach from the off.

We've not pressed as high first half and sat back a little. That's partially why we've not played as well in the first half of the last two games, and we've then finished the game stronger.

That's my theory anyway.
 
If that first half was as bad as you've seen then you clearly haven't been to very many matches!

There have been several games this season alone where we've been far worse.

Not sure why, but I came out of the match feeling a little underwhelmed compared to Boxing Day. I didnt think we were at our best today but you cannot fault the passion and commitment this team has.
I think this shows how far we have actually come.

Apologies derfblade
