Last Match Forum - 12/02 Blackburn Rovers (H) / Re: After Match Debate

Blackburn had done their homework which was probably Eustace's game plan (as he did at Blues) and they stopped Johnston and Fellows, though I do think TM gave up on them too soon.
To my mind, all was needed was Lankshear on one of the midfielders off and to persist longer with Johnston and Fellows for another 15 minutes.
When the subs did come on we lost our shape, too many square pegs in round holes including Armstrong on the wing.
We obviously have to give Mowbray more time but the signs are not looking good. Our defence is simply awful at the moment made worse by Wildsmith who I don't think the defence have confidence in.
TM - 3 defeats in 5
CC - 4 defeats in 27.
Poor start for TM and I didn't think he looked well last night. Hope he's ok.
