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

[Gloucester]

I'd swap Roberts to LW.

Mayenda to ST.

Poveda on at RW.

Isidor off.

Appreciate it's hardly the most ideal scenario but Mayenda has looked decent up front when given game time there and the current set up is just not working.

Mayenda scored two goals in one match. Otherwise fired blanks. Weak blanks mostly.

 

[Deleted member 6458]

Terrible all of them today

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

How come in the majority of games do we look pisspoor for so long yet maintain a position in the top 6 comfortably. Resilience or luck?

Because we’ve players capable of providing moments of good quality and opposition are also often wasteful and or poor. It’s not a good division.

 

[PitYacker]

We aren't getting any service into Isidor.

He falls over before he even gets to the ball. Hes had some good chances to hold up play but never held onto the ball.

 

[Inside Forward]

Just seen the goal. Element of fortune but weak as piss from Neil and Bellingham in midfield.

 

[errant]

Piss poor that mind

I’ve had stronger piss than that performance…

 

[Mowgli]

Ballard two games ago?

Free kick wasn't it?

 

[big winnie]

Second half comeback and limbs in the away end.

Seriously though, Wilson seems off it, would rather have Mayenda up front with Quiche on the left.

Unless the three in midfield can exert some control in midfield then the front three will always look like headless chickens.
Rigg has looked lost for a while so that leaves two attempting to shore up midfield and they cannot .
Answer is to change the system and personnel. Sacrifice a winger and play an extra ( Auchouchi) midfielder and keep hold of the football . Can Regis see this?

 

[Smiler]

Does anyone know when we last scored from a corner?

Start of the season then the opposition started defending the back post and we've been screwed ever since

 

[Wild Card]

Poor half, need to make a change, no point keeping Isidor in the middle if it means we’ve only got Mayenda on the left to get the ball to him. Either need to swap them round or make a change

Mayenda is miles better through the middle.

 

[Lonz]

He does look offside for the goal, mind.

 

[molthemackem]

Too many players not tracking back , being caught on the wrong side of their man (Hume again) caught up in possession or being far to ducking slow to react..pass and move will ya's

 

[Hot Since 82]

Second half comeback and limbs in the away end.

Seriously though, Wilson seems off it, would rather have Mayenda up front with Quiche on the left.

He's brilliant at falling over when through on goal mind.

 

[Geppetto]

Who's the co-commentator on Sky?

 

[framed]

Things can only get better I suppose?

 

[Betty Swollocks]

As it’s Christmas time I’m currently loading coal onto the fire of the Bi-Polar Express in readiness for the second half.

The doors are about to close, please mind the gap.

 

[Cream Soda]

He does look offside for the goal, mind.

He isn't. Hume is playing him on

 

[The Situation]

First goal in 17 games for the Blackburn goalscorer.

Of f***ing course.

 

[Hetty]

Who's the co-commentator on Sky?

Alan someone

 

[Horley Chorley]

Can you imagine Le Bris giving anyone a rollicking ?
Merry Xmas marra, if kicking towards that away support doesn’t inspire them nowt will.

They need a kick up the arse of some sort, because that first 45 minutes was woeful and as insipid as it gets.

Best festive wishes to yourself, C, and your family.

Luckily I have a plate of homemade Roasties not long out of the oven, to keep me distracted from the shite that's happening on the pitch, and a pile of Polish plonk to get through, courtesy of my generous Polish neighbours.
