We had one shot in their penalty area tonight which was a fumbled equaliser from our goalkeeper

We were complete shit. But we're told constantly that the making of a good side is to get points when they're not at their best. That's what's happened tonight. We're still in with a shout. Enjoy it mate.

Oh right guess that's that then, just ignore the rest of the season

Where have I said that? I'm merely pointing out how poorly we are playing against any opposition that isn't in atrocious form

 

[Otis]

Exactly. People talking like blackburn were great, they created fuck all second half and spent most the time diving and shithousing. All the dangerous play/efforts was from us…appreciate that wasn’t much but hamer should’ve scored and we put in some decent balls/set pieces

Agreed.

First half I thought they looked much better than us, but we really pushed hard in that second 45 mins and dominated possession and put so much pressure on them in the end.

I think we deserved the point and the 5 mins added on was an absolute travesty. It was so much more than that and Blackburn just timewasted and timewasted. It was ridiculous in the end.

 

[Nick]

The irony is that the corner was retaken because they were fucking about

They like their Bitter up north!

 

[harvey098]

Just about deserved point but let's be honest we're miles off being able to compete in the play offs

Really? We’ve literally just ”competed” away against one of the teams that has a good chance of being in the play offs. I think we’d be able to do it again

 

[Pezza]

It's a hand ball.

We were poor but the squad is doing it's best.

Blackburn were just shit housing it and poor as well.

1-1 about right.

On to Reading...

Where have I said that? I'm merely pointing out how poorly we are playing against any opposition that isn't in atrocious form

And I'm merely pointing out that our record against the current playoff position holders does not suggest we are miles off competing at all

 

[Tommo1993]

No, we probably weren’t good enough for the win. But if you think Blackburn were, then you’re talking out of your arse.

 

[Ross1247]

Just hope that Sheaf isn't too bad. Great to go against Reading when they've lost A Carroll for the game, though.

Will hopefully be OK, possibly Jamie Allen back as well? Sheaf was about the only player to play OK in first half. Reading in relegation zone going into game on Saturday so will be fighting for their lives after taking point from Luton. Andy Carroll with a red though, should help us if he's missing, as he scored tonight as well.

Agree, we were absolutely fucking shit for 94.5 minutes.
But I'm off to bed with a sly grin on my face now.

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

Get in, what a point at the death!

Deffo came off Wilson's hand though. Draw is a fair result but well done to us to battle on and fight until the end!

Not sure if he did. Behind goal looks like stomach or chest

Looked more like his groin area to me

 

[theferret]

That was glorious. I think in the last 20 minutes the ball was in play for about 8. Shithouses got what they deserved. On we go.

 

[Esoterica]

Walker has to start Saturday

He seems to me like a much better partner for Gyokeres. He was getting on the shoulder of the last man and looking to get in behind, with enough pace to actually worry them. It gave the Blackburn defence something different to think about when he came on, instead of Gyokeres and Godden both running channels.

Over analysing the shit out of everyone's fixtures now.

Does seem to be a strange phenomenon where bitterness and grievance increases the further north you go, culminating in the Scots

I thought it was his left bollock, tbf.

Super salty

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Is this going to start a feud like the Sunderland one where they don't forgive us for 50 years if they miss out on the play-offs?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Away from the drama, I really think Walker deserves a start over Godden, he's just doing nothing atm.

Walker didn’t either to be fair

 

[bigfatronssba]

Bizarre statement

Why bizarre?

 

[Nick]

Not really given much of a chance.

He held it up better

If we win the next 2 games, we’ll at least be in contention going up to Boro.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Can we dissect how poor we were tomorrow please, if you aren’t on a high after that finish then I’m not too sure what to suggest.

 

[DannyThomas_1981]

Not sure how anyone could be disappointed - we have some strange fans - I am fucking ecstatic.

Brilliant times and scenes.

 

[Boosh]

Well done boys! Fantastic! PUSB

Looked like a handball on TV. But…it was not deliberate so I’ll take that.

Some weird reactions on here. Some people are made of stone. Absolute carnage in my gaff.

That is just a great result considering the other results tonight.

love it !

Blackburn looked like they wanted it more.
