    Technically, talented young Blackburn team (&Dack) here. Getting overrun in the middle and down both sides. Second Blackburn game undoubtedly hand ball

    Irrespective of the scoreline, entertaining game.

    Plenty on here Kev, but let’s not go there!

    Not sure why we didn’t start with the formation we’ve played all season (pre season) and are familiar with, then go to 442 if need be. It’s a useful plan B still, but there’s a reason no clubs at the top use it as a starting formation.

    It's not so much the formation as much as critchlow pushing in to midfield and losing a challenge and the mystery of where Halliday was

    Aha a big clamour for 442 and as soon as it’s deficiency’s are exposed the mood turns

    Would you like Halliday to stay in a 20m square piece of the pitch and never leave it?

    I know its odd that we've actually got a proper right back for the first time in several seasons but 'appn just let him do his job.

    He was slow to react to the danger and get back and they have played on it.

    Sounds like only his fault and no one else's, eh Trev.

    Go and find another scapegoat, thanks.

    How many more times do we have to say we would get swamped in the middle. ?

    So it proves.

    Stop been silly. He was out of position but Critchlow had a chance to stop it and gave a weak challenge leaving 2 on 1 against Platt and an easy goal. Goals are conceded by a combination of events. Scapegoating any player is pointless

    An honest performance where we were simply beaten by a much better team. You could see the 2 league difference for a good 75 mins of that game. Not digging anyone out though, they need to be judged on what they do in the league.
