We are horrible with a back four. Miller is not an out and out centre half. He likes to drive up the field a bit with the ball. It’ll be the same but de neve in for hedges unfortunately 

I agree but at some point one of Ohashi or Gudjonsen are going to break down so we need to plan ahead. Also no more CBs. Sheffield Wednesday are one of our easier games so might be the time for a change.

Also bringing on Ohashi to close our games rather than start them could help a lot with our robustness.

Might as well have kept Jack Vale one thing he was good at or maybe the only thing was coming on to chase down and close games out.

Total opposite of Gueye and maybe they wouldn't need to throw De Neve on to do the closing down at the front when he's a wing back !

If Ismael is to persist with these tactics i'd be looking to swap Gueye for anybody who can do that job OR play De Neve as a substitute forward.

Missed this game due to car breaking down. Hadn't realised how naught Gallacher's tackle on Carbone was prior to the sending off.

Yeah it was a bad 'un. I can understand why Carbone was so incensed by it. What a goal by Carbone, by the way. One of the best opposition goals seen at Ewood for sure.

Just to add on the weather front...it is storm like wind and rain out there in Blackburn right now. I've just been drenched getting back home from town. If this carries on throughout the evening, I think the game is at risk of being called off.

I don’t remember either of Vale, or Leonard for that matter, doing much in the way of putting themselves about.

They had a brief spell.

Different physical attributes obviously but nobody can tell me Gueye is an improvement on either.

His contribution outside of a little bit last season has been virtually nil, nothing.

They were due to announce who was taking over or the front runners to be their new owners today but have delayed it; hopefully avoids a bit of a bounce.

Break in the rain now 🙌 a good wind will help a little

Are we going to be our usual selves and fix what is ailing The Owls, give em the win in other words.  Please no Tavares anywhere near the team.. I will give Baradji another go but laziness is not tolerated in this team.  All we ever ask is 100% if you have not been good enough but have given your all we.can usually live with that but to lose on the back of a couple of players being too lazy to chase a ball 2 yards away, well you can fuck right off.

But if a no win situation, even if we win we will hear it was just Sheff Weds and how crap are they.
