Hopefully Sheaf for Eccles and someone else for Godden who isn't doing much

The timing of that goal and to switch off is very poor

Sunderland battering Preston as well come on PNE

 

[covhead1]

Wow what a bunch of wussies here
FFS we are still totally in this!

 

[stupot07]

If Sheaf is fit enough to be on the bench I’d be sticking him on at half time for Eccles. They’ve had fair too much time when receiving it to feet to turn & start the forward momentum. Need to break up the play in that section of field & start tracking forward runners. Other than that not a bad first half, other than the shitty goal conceded

Take Godden off and return to the box. As soon as they pass through our press, Godden and Gyokeres are on the half way line and the midfield has been exposed.

Need to finish fifth. I fancy us beating Middlesbrough, over two legs (or three legs including today)

I’ll take the play offs at the moment mate

Don;t quite understand how it's the fans' fault that the bloke put out to stop the short corner is daydreaming, but hey.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Bring godden off and put panzo in defence park the bus

 

[SBT]

Preston have already had nine 0-0 draws this season…

 

[MikeyMoo]

Blackburn have fallen apart; but even if we lose from here West Brom need 4 in the second half, doesn't look likely. So looking away it's all on the Preston-Sunderland game now...

Nothing more guaranteed to stop us conceding than having no attack and no midfield.

 

[Fysnkysc]

we need to go at them if we sit back and concede we miss out as Sunderland will beat Preston it’s surprising they’re not so-ready winning.

 

[EalingSB]

Just hamers fault then a few other not reacting quickly enough

Hamer was trying to split two Boro players and should have had support. Spoiled a good half but plenty to build on.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Inviting them to attack is inviting defeat

Need another one

if we lose out to that lot on goals scored then it’s gonna be torture

 

[Grendel]

Eccles looks jaded , Cuffey is struggling to close down Giles and Godden just isn’t involved. Interesting to see when subs are made

 

[steve101]

Would be tempted to bring Allen on for Godden to bolster the midfield

 

[stupot07]

Hamers positioning on that corner was awful.

Would understand that approach - Robins won’t do that IMO as despite Goddens honking touch at current he loves how he presses. Middlesbrough love to play it tight at the back so suit them with only one pressing up top. One up with likes of COH or Allen pressing would work

Not if we lose they don’t

 

[Jonny Barton]

Just seen the replay of the goal, Hamer was looking in the other direction when the corner was taken

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Hamer gives with one hand (our goal), and throws away with his other hand (their goal)...concentrate Gus !

 

[slowpoke]

Shocking goal McNally, then Eccles and BNC.
Little things can affect games Hamer goes down injured puts extra minutes on the clock, has to go off so comes back on out of position. Godden flirting with off-side ffs!
All about game management now.

I'd put him on for Kelly given he's on a yellow

 

[glasgowfan]

None of you are allowing for Wilson's goal in the 95th minute

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Bollocks.

Really poor from Hamer.

He was expected to mark two players at the corner.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Fair enough, so would you say Walker for godden or sheaf in midfield

 

[jordan210]

I feel sick again

 

[xcraigx]

3 goals from dropping out of the top 6 at the start, it's 2 now. It's going to be a very nervy and very long 45 minutes.

 

[covcity4life]

I ain't gonna post for 15 mins. See you on the other side guys

 

[larry_david]

Good luck everyone

 

[The CableGuy]

Millwall 3 - 2 Blackburn!

 

[MikeyMoo]

Sunderland should have scored there

 

[Peter Billing Eyes]

Blackburn score!

 

[AOM]

Really hope we don't sit back and invite the pressure on now
