 Sounds a shocking performance.

From Barnsley's play, they seem to have a plan on what to do. We are just huffing and puffing and hoping some lucky will come our way.

i hate how negative our manager is, we don't do sitting back, we are better when we are going for a win, we sit back it shows how poor we can be defensively 

[Paul Mellelieu]

Blackpool wining at 'Boro.

I've yet to see any point in Clarkson at all, ok they can't all be Harvey Elliot but this lad belongs in the kids.

[SoldierMo]

Clarkson before butterworth is criminal

Away draws are fine, by and large. What is going to really stick in the throat though, if we do hold onto a point, is the manager's infuriating decision making AGAIN.

Butterworth helped visibly transform the game on Tuesday. So instead of repeating the trick that worked (him and Khadra on, one of them for a more pedestrian midfielder) he repeats the trick that undid us last Saturday (defensive subs). He just doesn't learn.

Problem with loans.  For every one that turns out to be decent, two tend to be crap.  So far the Brighton lad looks good, the Leeds and Liverpool lads poor.

God knows about the bizzarre injured CB loan.

[Tugay-is-God]

Real evident lack of quality in our team today. 

[OldEwoodBlue]

We are really awful now. 

[Heinz]

Exactly what we can expect from a manager who plays it safe, rather than go for it.

Can already hear the “point in the bag and we move on” post match comment coming up.

Games like this & Luton really annoy me. It’s like, be happy with a point, we’re not capable of more.

Pickering nearly scoring a bizarre own goal. That's 3 times we have nearly conceded in the last what, 10 minutes? All since the defensive subs brought on to hold onto the point.

Fucking clown.

Thought it was "bring your kid to work day" when he came on - wondered whose kid it was...

[West Yorks Rover]

Let's not forget Barnsley are a huge club and they are years ahead of us in their journey.

[booth]

Almost a Pickering own goal.

Mowbray has really put us under pressure here.

[Tugay-is-God]

Big chance for Clarkson there. 

[bluebruce]

Clarkson missing our best chance of the game apart from the BB one on one. Have to wonder if Butterworth would have finished it with that rocket shot he has in his locker. Khadra looking a threat.

He doesn't get that we're better defensively when he doesn't play defensively. Takes pressure off the defence and keeps the other team busy.

[matt83]

Bloody awful this half and even worse since the substitutions.

3 shots with only 1 on target. But at least we get a point with another clean sheet.

Back to 6th?? Bristol beating QPR.

Let's all laugh at Luton. 

 

[Tugay-is-God]

Thoroughly meh

[matt83]

I’d be tempted to send these loan players back. I’d rather see rovers academy players playing for the benefit of Blackburn Rovers fc than a bunch of similar calibre players playing for the ultimate benefit of Leeds, Liverpool and Brighton.

The likes of Elliott are a different kettle of fish but are these current loans any better than what’s already at Ewood I’m not convinced.
