Can't even criticize that first half - all the ball and all the threat. Drameh looks very good and Harris has looked a real nuisance. Only problem is none of it matters because our back 3 can't keep a clean sheet to save their f**king lives.
Is Morison going to dig Flint out after the game for giving their lad 10 yards and letting him pick his spot?
Like the look of Drameh....not seen much of Wintle......Vaulks (as usual)....
Overall not played badly apart from the goal but need more incisiveness last third.....need the pace of Isaak Davies.

Missed their goal but we've been quite tidy without threatening from what I have seen.Quote:

Best bit of play towards the end of the half where Ralls was too slow getting his shot off and perhaps should have played Collins in.
I'm definitely not Vaulks' biggest fan but in fairness Maurice he's had one of his better games today; he's been tidy and kept the momentum going most of the time.Quote:

Some neat and tidy stuff, lot better than what we’re used to. Blackburn look the more agricultural with a few cynical fouls. For all our neat and tidy stuff it fizzles out the nearer we get to Blackburn’s area.
Mark Harris working his socks off but his good work is too far from the danger area.
We are playing quite well to be fair....must make sure not caught out by a sucker punch breakaway...Harris doing well.
Are we trying to be too clever with the two man option on the set piece delivery? Looks like we could use an extra man in the box.
Wintle's looked good
Vaulks rubbish as ever
It amazes me how bad at passing Vaulks is. How did he make it as a professional footballer?
Why is he taking Harris off? Collins has done literally nothing
We’re doing ok but to listen to ‘brilliant’, ‘fantastic’ Joe Ledley you’d swear we were three or four up.:biggrin:
Harris shouldn't have come off
Absolutely agree....Quote:

I know Blackburn have been sitting back but we lack any cutting edge in the final third.
The f*ck are Pack & Ng doing there?
Deserved at least a draw out of this. Please stop picking Pack/Vaulks
And Collins. Waste of space the lot of them.Quote:

Should have got something out of that game. Shame - they played well.
Commentator: "Cardiff have been the better team". What!! Did I watch the same game?
Perry Ng is a championship player and can't hit simple passes or beat the first man off a cross, ever. He is absolutely pathetic, Pack as well.
We only looked half decent there due to Blackburn sitting off us as soon as they scored knowing we wouldn't be able to offer anything substantial going forward.
I didn't see much of the 1st half but how many times did we cut them open? Our only chances came from set-pieces (surprise!). Yes, we had a lot of the ball but they weren't bothered by that and with good reason. We were just as hopeless playing against 10.
With nine defeats in ten home league games, eight with crowds in, I think that’s wishful thinking Mr Parker.Quote:

Can we stay up?
Not sure.
Neat and tidy, massively helped by Blackburn being sloppy and happy to sit in. Probably because they know we have nothing upfront.
It looks all neater but it's the usual home performance and the reason we are where we are.
Commentators almost celebrating a dire 1 nil home loss against Blackburn. I know it has been dark at times this season but come on.
once they scored they sat right back and it was always going to be difficult for us.
if we can cut out the soft goals we will be a much better side.
this has been a tough run of fixtures. hopefully we can start to put some results together now and get some confidence
I thought they were, apart from getting some decent blocks in, I thought Blackburn were very ordinary, but I suppose that’s what many supporters of sides beaten 1-0 at home by us in 12/13 and 17/18 were saying as well. We huffed and puffed and didn’t create a great deal, but, at the very least, deserved a point.Quote:

Didn’t see the game but sounds like we were ok? Hopefully against lesser teams we can get the points needed.
Dont think the subs helped today and we lost our shape. Davies needed to be in the box not wide and why bring Pack on as Bagan would have been better option.
We played well, but created no chances. If you can't score one goal, you can't really say you deserved something from the game.
I turned over to catch the last 30 seconds of Luton v Bournemouth to see Luton score with the last kick of the game to win 3 - 2.
That 30 seconds showed more attacking excitement that we managed all 2nd half.
Platitudes don't keep you up home wins and possibly this year other sides having points deducted do.
Ah well, on the plus side it will be nice to see Blackburn go up instead of the big spenders
I feel like I'm living in a parallel universe after the crazy emptiness of our stadium and Luton scoring 3 against a side that did the double on us. Scrub that, I'm definitely living in a parallel universe.Quote:
