If Kelly is out I see that as the only option imo an Eccles, Allen & Soto or Ayari would be overrun.
Eccles didn’t have the best of games tonight but he ran his balls off.

Won’t happen though will it?

He could have done that tonight but didn’t. Clearly prefers Lati at RWB in MVE’s absence.

Have to play 5 in the middle surely

Update on Liam Kelly…

“He has torn his hamstring. So that’s another midfielder we’ve lost. It’s sods law.”

No it’s a very bad lack of planning not replacing Hamer and a bit of bad luck

It's a shit business.

 

[hamertime]

That’s was exactly the kind of win we needed, them boys will be galvanised by that. Once we get our midfield back the only way is up.

I was pretty baffled that the referee saw no issue with it, looked clear that it shouldn’t have stood.

Agree with robins that foul or no foul maybe Wilson should have kept hold of it.

Need to see it again though

From what I heard/can remember

Thought we deserved to win. Blackburn best team in possession that we’ve played so far. Good saves by Wilson. Definitely foul for disallowed goal but Ben should’ve taken a hit rather than risking losing ball. Need crowd but knows team need to give us more to feed on which happened second half. Good goal and good effort by Ayari. Some decent last ditch defending, mentioned couple of headers from Thomas near end and fadz being fadz

Glad he's asking for more from fans. North Stand must be the most silent stand in the country.

Very brave if you ask me and the player has nothing to lose sliding in with his feet at Wilson’s head it’s a cowards attempt

Yep. Kelly should not be playing these minutes.

We would want our players to do the same tbf

Still cowardly
No danger of injury for striker every chance of serious injury for keeper

Don't think he went in with any intent to hurt

I need to rewatch it though like I said

By Bristol city we should be looking a lot healthier squad wisec

Until we get more injuries...

Got to be pleased with that. Blackburn are a really tough team to play against when they dominate the ball like that. Whilst they don't really have an out & out striker their fluidity of movement in the midfield & forwards can be really difficult to pick up & track runners etc. so whilst frustrating that they came & dominated possession it wasn't really surprising to me. They lack a bit in both boxes though as evidenced by their run of results.

I volunteer my services friends:

Positives:

Know how Robins likes to play
Will give my all for the shirt
Can be paid in alcohol

Negatives:
Slow as fuck
No stamina
Haven't played organized football since The Goo Goo Dolls were relevant.

You’ll still get on before saka

I find it pretty difficult to get pumped by watching us pass it sideways and backwards then try and play forwards but lose it, then rinse and repeat with zero urgency

I think that's the point, get behind them more and they'll push on.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Fair play also to the decent numbers travelling from Blackburn in a midweek game.

 

[hamertime]

Plenty of passion on the pitch but a lack of passion by the fans again. Do we just want to be entertained or do we want to help with the battle .

 

[Alkhen]

Just seen the replays of Haji's goal, much harder finish than I first thought watching real time, had to take his time pick a corner and produce the power. Glad he tucked it away

 

[MalcSB]

A cracking shot by Ayari that hit the woodwork that Wright got the goal from?

And did fuck all else.

 

[hamertime]

Prick

Assists the winner and you never want to see a 19 year old lad in a city shirt again ?
Have a word

 

[Yank]

Get ahold of yourself pal, he's a kid and thought was pretty decent myself.

Doesn’t count as an assist.

 

[MalcSB]

Prick

So what else of note did he do?

 

[hamertime]

Ayari unlocked that game. Showed a moment of real quality by getting the ball driving forward an unleashing a cracking shot which the goal came from. End of.

Do we win without that flash of magic ?
Yes he was average aside from that but he's a kid learning the game
