Well thats it then.

Very poor.

Does seem odd that Kelly isn’t getting a look in. Maybe he’s carrying an injury or Matt’s still having a look at everyone and he will get his turn?

Well, as is regularly said " the manager sees them in training"

Kelly must be bunking off for a fag behind the bike sheds

Thought Blackburn looked average in first half but they are by far the better team this half

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.

Hirsty on. Pitch must need watering. Took him all of 10 seconds to gob on the pitch as usual

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.
