MillersMad Matchthread - Blackburn v The Millers

Very annoyed with Hall though. Peltier was getting back to cover the shot as well as Viking so frustrating to hand it to them easy like that

[ragingpup]

Grrr. Couple of poor Eaves passes break up good moves and release them. Basil booked stopping them. All down to loose pass

[Edinburghmiller]

Great play by them, getting ball into box quickly which we aren’t doing. Can’t see us coming back from 2 down.

For all our passing our around defence, just hitting a brick wall and Blackburn show how to be incisive for their 2nd. Lovely goal from them, that's what quality passing up top looks like

Shame really. Some of the best football we've played this season, but no cutting edge.

[PerigordMiller]

Humphreys and Washington coming on, surely time to give Kelly a go?

[mygiddypant]

We hit a hopeful ball into the their corner from which they play the ball out incisively resulting in a goal.

Stuff that we can't do.

Bottom line is, it's about the footballing ability of the players. Harding then just found space down the touchline to make a run at them and instead just overran it and allowed their player to get the tackle in. Whereas they have the technical ability to zip the ball around in tight spaces with accuracy and confidence. You've got to be good enough at this level to find those tight gaps and play and control with great accuracy. No surprise that most of the teams in this league are better at this than us.

Nice to see us have a go in the first half and would have been interesting if one of those chances were taken. But as soon as we conceded the pen and had to chase the game I suspected we would be picked off

[CTMilller]

Good points, Raging. But I do think our pedestrian ‘knocking it around at the back’ contributes to our downfall. It just slows us down.

[Edinburghmiller]

2 different halfs!! Pretty good first half, awful second half
