We really do panic and lack composure for long periods of games. All over the shop so often.

One touch-passing in your own defensive third when you’re being pressed this late in the game is an ideological misstep. We’ve conceded four or five chances  from committing the same errors over and over again.

He’s slow and ungainly. He’s played one pass into a twenty foot gap.

I'm fearing the worst but deserves a chance. Let's see how he fairs after 10 games but I share your extremely early views.

Jesus, give the lad a chance.

He can prove me wrong, I’d be delighted if he did and I doubt my opinion is going to make much of a difference either way, but that’s all I’ve seen.

He might miss.

Sounds about as good as the rest of our lads.

Oh f**k lol

[Tugay-is-God]

How did we get away with that one? Should be two all

[superniko]

I won’t judge the German lad yet, but I can only assume his agent / a rovers fan edited his Wikipedia to suggest he ran 100m in 10 seconds 😂

[WacoRover]

How much time is left?

[Tugay-is-God]

Not great by Telalovic or Leonard there. 

[duckson]

3 at least.

[BigBar]

Tela should have finished it. Good ball by Harry I thought...

[Tugay-is-God]

Get in! We didn't half make that hard work, but we deserve the the points on balance, I'd say.

Had to wait for the defender to approach to get it through his legs. I fear I’ll get in trouble for commenting on the finish, though.

[BigBar]

Poor performance today. Delighted with the 3 points. Gonna have many of these this season I feel. Lucky to get the 3 points but don't care.

[doctorryan]

Survived some bad reffing today. 

[WacoRover]

I am relieved. Good work today, lads. 

[DE.]

We would have won that easily if we had any strikers at the club, and the officials weren't amateurs.

Nonetheless, I'll happily take the three points and thank goodness for Sammy.

Yes!! 3 points in the bag and another win at Ewood. We probably should have scored at least 5 but thankfully it didn’t cost us. 
 

Sammie was immense today. Well deserved MotM. Onwards and upwards!

[WacoRover]

Now, a chance to score points vs two teams ahead of us on the table, Sunderland & @Ipswich.

Good win despite a poor performance at times. Onwards and upwards now hopefully.

First taste of action for Telalovic, looked a little slow but time will tell, bound to have been nervous today.

JRC came on and steadied the midfield I felt when it badly needed it.
