Blackburn - (H)

[KVetch]

I was just about to to say it would be a disaster if we have a good squad and no keeper next season

 

[KVetch]

Our xG is only .46 according to flash score now. That's interesting, if you're watching the game you feel it would be a lot higher

 

[Yankee_Jack]

What a save

 

[CroJack]

Tymon, ffs, concentrate and block some crosses!

 

[CroJack]

Rebecca is an excellent referee.

 

[KVetch]

Yeah Dolan could have scored there, it came down to Rushworth making a good dive at it. Blackburn have had their chances.

 

[KVetch]

Rebecca is an excellent referee.

Is this a first for us?

 

[Yankee_Jack]

First half

2-0, could have been more, deserved more.

key players getting it done. Allen again massive in midfield. Cullen working his socks off.

can we keep it up next half. Acid test.

 

[KVetch]

I keep waiting for it all to fall apart, you know I was worried we would start out poorly in this game. We have a difficult time stringing wins together. And Blackburn coming off that tough cup fixture. But we may finally have the players we need. At least on the wing

Walsh repeats that we have two talented wide-men and they are making the difference. BUT..... we need to show that we're not just a one-half team and we have to keep up our good form in the second half, We almost imploded last week and had to hang on for the three points. Let's not do squeaky bum time again. There's another valuable 3 points for the taking here but we need to keep focused. Blackburn had a couple of decent chances and we want no more of that. They must feel leggy second half following their gruelling FA Cup game this week, so there should be no excuses for us not to go on and clinch this with comfort. But if Blackburn somehow get the upper hand and take the game to us then Luke Williams had better take a long, hard look at the fitness levels of his squad.

 

[KVetch]

That's a good point, if Blackburn puts one away this could be a different game. So we need to go out and score the next goal. We should be able to play a full 90 with 7 days rest.

 

[Victoria Swan]

Cullen not in evidence today. I'd love to see Jamal Lowe replace him.

 

[CroJack]

Excellent defending by Naughts

 

[Victoria Swan]

Cabango, however, very much in evidence today. He seems to have magically acquired speed!

 

[CroJack]

Ben has been majestic in defence today.

 

[CroJack]

What a tackle by Naughts

 

[CroJack]

I like that we are playing long now and forcing Blackburn players to run and run...

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Rovers definitely on the front foot now. We’ve not maintained the level of the first half. Let’s see what these subs do for us.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Sloppy now

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Surprising Yates on for PP.
