Blackburn (a) match thread

[Gaz]

Appaling first half from us. Playing Blackburn and we go with one up front. At least the 2nd half can only be an improvement

Rafa has played the Scillian Dragon but its stalemate at the moment. We are behind on the clock and a piece down.

[Gazzla]

This was never gonna be a classic but ****ing hell this is taking it to extremes.

[slimbimjim]

Absolutely piss ****ing poor.

Kuyt first touch is ****. Sissoko is ok. Defence have no passing skills.

[blacky]

It's displays like this that make me understand the stick Rafa get's in the press!!

£21m on Babel and Kyut looks money well spent.

Rafa has picked a team to stop Blackburn playing and not a team to go out and attack imo.

Are you honestly surprised by that?

Your chess metaphor will be lost in this jungle....best posting it somewhere downstairs.....!

Still, plenty of time to go.

STAY POSITIVE PEOPLE!!!

We're going to sneak a 1-0 with an injury time penalty

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I can't take it anymore. I've run out of sellotape for my eyelids

[blacky]

Kewells on the bench isn't he? what odds would I get on him making an 85min cameo and getting the winner?

[paulcooper4]

we`ll batter them second half. Once we go a goal up it`ll be curtains for the wools

I despair.

This has been really depressing. I thought we started confidently and looked strong, without doing much but still looked assured.

It just went downhill.

NOTHING up front.

[wiw]

Christ we just didn't play very well. We never go gung-ho attack in away games in the first half, the second half will be different
