Blackburn's whole season rested on that game in that it was three points or bust and they put an awful lot into it - it will be interesting to see if they have as much energy next time out.

I was surprised that we seemed to have gone the whole hog in becoming a play the ball from the back side until we were chasing the game late on.Our players haven't done too badly at it over the past five matches, but most of them weren't signed for their ability to play like that and the better sides at playing a possession based, passing game are always going to have an advantage over us -we shouldn't lose sight of the things we were good at before the opportunity to bring in some better suited players for the way we've been playing becomes available.
