*~*~* Blackburn v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

[Fireball07]

Individual shitness squandered those chances. We smashed them 2nd half, credit to the team and RLB but yet again "pinball wizard" ruined it.

I don't think Jobe, Mepham (x2) or Mayenda are shit.

Sometimes we're not clinical enough, I'd agree.

 

[Pepe]

At least Isidore got his shot away!

Neither looked like scoring to be fair. Isidor is only useful when he can’t think, like today.

 

[SAFC11]

That’s a statement by Regis to speakman has to be! Unless he’s clueless, he needs to
make subs!

He never really makes subs unless forced

 

[JL1985]

Millwall, Coventry and Blackburn. 6 points down the drain.

When the dust settles we'll likely look back on it as a decent point, but at the moment with the late equalizer and the Mayenda chance, it's so bloody frustrating and feels like a defeat.

we'd have been two off the top. likely missing rigg for a while as well.

 

[jaffa gaffa]

Conceeding last few minutes after they've made five changes and we've made one...

It's almost like it's a recognizable pattern.

Problem is our changes seem to weaken us, their's probably don't but give them fresh legs. Think RLB knows this hence the reluctance. Frustrating but probably fair result overall.

People slagging Mayenda off like hes the first footballer to ever miss a decent chance

He's 19 ffs

Some of our "supporters" man

Young or not, he should be finishing those. He's in the squad, so I assume he's capable. A very disappointing finish from the lad.

 

[bomber]

3 decent chances at 2-1

 

[Lonz]

Keeping them 6 points behind us really isn’t a bad result.

 

[Gloucester]

It really is not a case of someone playing badly and needing to be taken off. When the opposition bring on half a team of fresh legs you have to respond. 11 sets of tired legs cannot cope with that.

 

[Select coaches]

Don’t worry, it’s closing down soon

Probably for the best, become a bit of a joke

 

[Mace]

Frustrating. Brilliant second half performance all being told. Dan Neil immense.

 

[hank williams]

After that first half performance happy with the point but narked we couldn't hang on

 

[McMackem]

Finishing quality will be our Achilles heel this season. We don’t create enough so rely on superb efforts - but you can’t expect three of these every match. Mayenda should probably won it at the end but it is what it is - not the craft to either slot it or take it round him. Shame.

 

[gastap]

Ha

No argument just childish

 

[LionL]

Feels like every game we concede a goal from when we don't clear it out properly. Really frustrating.

 

[Yankee]

Is it the aim?

Id prefer it to the playoffs.

 

[splorty]

Feels raw right now as could have been three but it’s a good point. We’ll beat Sheffield on NYD and be right in it again.

 

[Flavonoids]

Not season defining, just a disappointment. Blackburn going well, no shame in a draw even if it was a punch in the cock at the end.
