Good half, largely some very good performances.

Kitching very error strewn half. MVE made a fair few mistakes, but seemed to grow into it.

Can’t say we’re not working hard for it. Hopefully it can continue after half time.

Good half. Everyone giving their all. Emc not best out right tho. Hopefully saka is ok and not dead

TBF Sheaf is a zombie and he's out there.

 

[Gint11]

Decent half. Look fragile but we’ve dominated that and could have had 3. Bit more composure and a 2nd goal and we’ve got this.

 

[Jamesimus]

Looks lethargic and not involved to me

loving our hoof ball tonight just get the win boys

He’s been good and not lethargic at all?

 

[Perennial Lurker]

What a horrible half to watch that was , players are so nervous .
BTA playing well up top , Wright involved a lot more and Mason-Clarke has done well since he came on .
Robins needs them to settle down second half and we can score more goals here .

And that was a fucking disgraceful stamp on Sakamoto

 

[covboy9]

i feel as tho Simms wouldnt have applied the same press as Asante

No shit

 

[procdoc]

Good half considering. We actually look like we give a shit

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

he looks ok walking off…

so one thing from that 45, something or someone has got into the players and got them aggressive, motivated and fired up to actually play football and take the game to Blackburn

don’t know what or who, but on the assumption it’s Robins all this talk of losing the dressing room seems a lot of nonsense… so far

wouldn’t be surprised is he doesn’t come out at half time

 

[mark82]

Take that into half time. But we are so suspect at the back. Some of the passing is horrendous and calamity like.

Blackburn look much more comfortable on the ball.

 

[stupot07]

Eam

Disappointed Sakamoto went off, want to see that link up down the right with MVE which just isn't there with EMC playing.

EMC is playing too narrow, he's virtually playing as a striker.

 

[Evo1883]

Thought EMC had been good since he came on.

Very good

 

[wingy]

But also lapses between all of them at the back, strange like something else is creeping into their psy!che

 

[Grendel]

Sheaf does give the ball away at times but he is a different level compared to the rest of the midfield.

Bidwell has limitations but we need to forget starting Dasilva against better opposition

Assante and Mason Clarke look so raw

Wright is the best forward player on the pitch and at least started to show it again

Back Two a shambles

I didn’t see a stamp from where I was, looked more unfortunate than anything else

 

[Jamesimus]

Yes but they’re taking far too long on it so I’m sure their fans would feel like they are too comfortable!

 

[covboy9]

Blackburn have been crap but we’ve gone medieval on them

I think Eccles has been really good too

Asante is doing a great job though and if it’s working, it works!

 

[David O'Day]

Bta, I wouldn't bet on him to score but he is leading the line well

[Evo1883]

Blackburn have had 2 shots , city with 9 and putting some good balls into dangerous areas

 

[Mr Panda]

I thought EMC was pretty tidy. He’s stifled on the right as he can’t do what he wants to do

couple of nice interchanges and worked the keeper - alright

 

[Evo1883]

We needed the workrate today

 

[HadjiChippo]

We need to follow up all shots on their keeper, butter fingers in the first half

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Better but defence still contriving to give them a way back in. We’ll need another one I think

 

[skybluecam]

It's a cut

Calm down you fucking drama queen's

A bad cut yes, gash his leg clean open

But he'll be back after the international break stop shitting yourselves

Sorry, shattered pelvis I’ve heard.

Yeah he keeps drifting over leaving mve on his own

 

[Cally Fedora]

Filthy night. Couldn’t see what happened to Saka. All a bit keystone cops. Sheaf is a massive difference in the middle and Eccles the best player on the pitch. Wright and Rudoni have the quality. But what are we doing at the back!

Could see this being a game for basette.

Yeah same. Looks like he’ll need about 20 chances to score one goal. But he’s getting fully involved and when he can keep it simple, it’s worked.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Much better than previous games. Center backs are scaring the life out of me, they look like they don’t talk to each other at all.

Wright much better, despite the people sitting behind me who’ve been shouting about how lazy he is all half.

 

[jordan210]

Need to keep the press on.

Berties speed and aggression will be key 70 mins

 

[Calista]

Thought EMC had been good since he came on.

Yep, some people are baffling. The lad's a good player.

 

[steve101]

Nervy half more than deserved to be leading. Hope not getting a second doesn't haunt us again.
Kitching has been poor again. Looks like the pitch is slow running so some passes are under hit.
Mason-Clark has great close control. Thought he has done well. Thomas-Asante works so hard.
Odd wince by Sheaf near to halftime so will be interesting to see if he starts the second half.

 

[M3rcian]

Sheaf is making a difference, just hope his fitness isn't an issue. Bidders has been solid, love the terminator and he's showing why he's worth that love today. Haji is back to looking more bambi then up for it again. Thought the knock might fire him up, but nope. Asante is making a real difference in press, and means other forwards plus Rudoni are getting invloved in the press too. Think we could get more down the right but honestly rudoni and bidders are doing well (imagine if wright could join in!).

 

[Winny the Bish]

We’ve had the best of the first half. They look terrified when we pass through the lines and attack with pace, but sometimes we slow it down for no reason.
