I think the only Summer signing that hasn't got league minutes is Cole.
Holgate too

I'm happy with the point; I would have been prior to kick off.

Like everyone else I'm not at all happy with our lack-lustre performance. That was such a tedious game. After starting the season so brightly too.

We still need people capable of getting the ball in the net. It's like we are being run by a former goalkeeper...

Cole got a few minutes on the opening day.

I was generally happy with this performance. On Saturday I was probably the most annoyed I've been under Carlos's reign with the mentality of that performance at Oxford but I'm much happier with how we went about things tonight even though the two results provided the same outcome.

We really shouldve won. Both Furlong and Heggem have to score, they are two bad misses. I don't blame McNair for not scoring from Fellows' cross, McNair flung himself at it, it wasn't as if he didn't read it or was caught on heels, it's just plain bad luck that he isn't half an inch taller.

We shouldve had a stonewall penalty, really poor refereeing.

The only thing that irritated me a bit was when Blackburn were clearly desperate for the whistle, we had an opportunity for a quick long throw into their box and Carlos decides to let them settle by making a double sub with 80 seconds left on the countdown. Why, why, why, why, why? Keep the pressure on them! No point in making those changes whatsoever, but especially when it kills our momentum!

We need to build on this at home to Cardiff on Saturday.

Moreso why they didn't just throw it into the box??? Literally what Oxford did to us on Saturday

We really need to work on set pieces we get absolutely no cheap goals.

Yes, sorry I'd forgotten about Holgate! Injured at the minute though.

Our defence is keeping us in contention, but with goal difference so tight we cannot keep on 'winning' 0-0 and expect an automatic promotion place.
We all knew we would  struggle with limited up front firepower and here we are.
Currently 4th, but hanging on for grim death.
 CC has to find a way to get us to score goals with the meagre resources at his disposal. The fact that we are looking for the resurrection of Dike as a solution just shows how limited we are. But we cannot keep doing the same things over and over and over again and expecting different results. Only CC knows why.
The frustration many, quite rightly, have though  is the seeming reluctance to use our new signings to change things around. We appear to have some  options, but we are not using them. Only CC knows why.
The frustration is amplified by the incomprehensible substitution decisions made, the addition of Wallace for a few match 'seconds' last night was quite extraordinary. Only CC knows why.
I love his passion and his dedication, but his recent caution has cost us. When he has gone for shut or bust in the past it has blown up in his face, perhaps it haunts him. Only CC knows why.
I think there is massive over-reaction is some quarters at the moment, but there are grounds for limited concern. Not winning on Saturday should result in a call to the headmasters office for a discussion at least.
He seems a guy who hates losing to such an extent it restricts us winning. Only CC knows why.

Yes. Down to CC ! Too cautious as a lot of posters' have said. Need to go for the jugular and become an Albion manager.

So the manager is responsible for those very poor misses by Furlong and Heggem? Thank you for clearing that up :o

In a way he is partly responsible if he's setting us up to only try to make 3 or 4 clear cut chances a game

BB only just survived being relegated last season. we allowed them to control play too much. (Down to CC).

We only just survived relegation one year before going into the PO's the season after, and promotion the one after that.

Last season doesnt matter anymore, they had won all 5 home games this season and are on the same points as us

Does  he stand on the side of the pitch and count the number of attacks we have? Seriously though since we had the good start  to the season all of the teams we have played  are more than happy to sit back and they don't create many chances either  and it was noticeable on Wednesday when the game opened up we looked the more likely team  to score.
