WBA53 match thread

Blackburn may have been poor defensively but pleased to see yet another good over all team performance. Probably only Swift below par and even Reach seems to have done well. BTA always put the effort in but is also now steadily improving other aspects of his game and pity in a way he couldn't have stayed on to try for a hat trick but with the game won it was always going to be equally important to bring Dike on to get him more match time. MOTM? Fellows, Furlong, BTA and possibly other contenders but isn't that a nice position to be in ?

Absolutely.

Didn't see the game. How did Dike do after he cane on? Any early opinions

Physical presence as always, poor touch at times, and should have scored.

He reminds me sometimes of the hippo in bedknobs and broomsticks. Poor touch, I hope he improves.

To be fair to Blackburn they came to make a game of it and didn't just get all 11 players behind the ball like most teams have done this season, but that just played into our hands and enabled us to move the ball a lot quicker than normal and we did create some good chances, i thought with Reach and Fellows playing on their natural sided we had good balance, i also thought unlike some others that Swift was involved in most of the good football we played in the first half, again we started the 2nd half a little sloppy giving the ball away cheaply and it took their goal to wake us up a little bit but after we scored again we cruised to victory, don't really think anyone stood out as MOM and nobody had a bad game.

Thanks boingy.
With a bit more game time perhaps that will improve. Asante looks a bit sharper then in the past. He has improved by all accounts, as a few weeks back he would have blazed his second goal over the bar.

MOTM for me would have been between Fellows, Furlong and Asante. All superb today, full of running and purpose. The whole team were solid though.
