On the flip side Blackburn have beaten EVERY team that has visited them this year?
That’s the positive, and we were the better team overall and should have won it

Just goes to show there's little quality in this league, these are 6th and great record at home. We barely got out of 3rd gear and didn't look troubled.

Woeful. Absolutely woeful. Blackburn absolutely rubbish they were there for the taking.

Diangana better on the right, Swift is just generally rubbish constantly does easy passes.

Frustrating night
Swift completing easy passes that some tonight have failed to do
At least he looks for the ball

Well they would if teams turn up and play rubbish?
This YEAR they had SMODICS, they haven’t now and we’re there for the taking, but we didn’t want to get it done, maybe if Jed had 2 more minutes?

We are 4th as it stands due to Blades currently losing at Boro.
4th 5th or 6th irrelevant now as only separated by a goal differnce.

I don’t quite get why you’re saying here?

Apart from the closing stages a boring performance going forward. Thought Mikey looked lively when he came on . Apart from that thankful for the point .

Point away from home to a playoff contender is the only positive I’d take from this performance. Probably edged it on chance created but a poor display from our lot with CC’s pedestrian style of play and look a shadow of side that topped championship.

My post was in response to someone who said all YEAR

Point remains, they aren’t anything special….we were awful, Grady was abysmal , Wallace comes on for our only striker with 1 minute to go…shocking.

In isolation a decent point. However a bit more positive and we’d have 6 points this week instead of 2. Set pieces as bad as ever tonight and even the Furlong throws have become ineffective.

Thought we had slightly more control in midfield second half, probably due to Swift coming on and Dianga going out wide, where I think he is better.  I wish Mowatt would carry the ball forward when there isn't a pass on. Apart from the one shot, Grant doesn't make the right runs into space, and so fairly anonymous. Leaves Maja to do most of that work. The Blackburn defence kept quite a tight reign on Fellows who ran out of puff. 
In the end, a draw a fair result.

League table still looks great in fairness despite the winless run. We need to beat Cardiff

Players' need a bomb up their backsides, the way they play. CC also need one, to generate new ideas. BB knew exactly how he would play.

Rule number one. If you're under pressure in the dying embers of a game.. disrupt it. Rule number two..if you're in the ascendancy, change nothing. I can't believe those late changes.

Blackburn unbeaten at home but they  but look who they’ve beat.

Derby, Oxford, Bristol, QPR, Swansea. I’d hope we’d beat 4 out of 5 of those at home. I know you can only beat who you play but to much is being put in to stats at the start of this season in general. The stats matter when the season is more developed. We havent been bad , but truth is we have been bang average. Looking suspect at the back and now fellows isnt finding maja we dont have huge threat up top. Finishing top 6 is a big ask IMO

Really bad in game management, but he always disrupts the flow , usually with 2 on 70 and then another three between 75 and 80 .

I can only think CC gets a slice of Jeds appearance bonus,
That's not serious but if I am baffled, if you think bringing Jed on makes a difference or taking Josh off protects him, why the flock with 2 mins left ? As I say baffled

Thought we were the better side but still not very threatening, we offer no threat from corners.
Seen the penalty incident twice and can't see why that wasn't awarded when it's a clear push.
The number 10 we need to solve and fast, I'm convinced Diangana can't play it.
Why take the striker off in the 91st minute when we have a throw in level with Blackburns 18 yard box? Still no striker on the subs bench.

Irony was he gave a 'foul' outside our area for a 'push' by Ajayi on their striker which was way softer.

Good point away from home against a side who had won every match at home this season until tonight. Blackburn are a good side at this level, but we controlled them and restricted them to 2 shots on target all game. Made them look very ordinary. I suspect that most of us would have been content with a draw before the match. Happy with the result.

On coach home. Should have nicked that before with first half chances.
