His back 4 would be

Nyambe imo one of the best RB in the league

Tosin and Darragh both above average

Cunningham, probably a bit early to claim he was THAT good but certainly showed all the right signs.

That to me is a strong back 4! We're not in a position to sign quality players as 'back up'.

What we should be doing is bringing some worldies through via the academy.....

Agreed that our first choice defense IF all fit, is good. But there is literally nothing behind it. We have a RB at CB ffs and a RM at RB who has proved alwful there. Besides, we wouldnt have been signing players as backup, our best LB and CB are loans, not ours so will be gone end of the season.

A good response. Add in Lenihen is injury prone. Add in centre back is a very specialised position. Add in there are only 2 other actual defenders behind these 4 and you see how neglected the defence is. 

Factor in Cunningham has been injured for ages and we've been happy to only carry 5 defenders in the squad since then is criminal. Heck even with Cunningham there it leaves 6 defenders only for 4 positions. Contrast that with how many midfield and striker options we have and threadbare is an understatement. 

And that's before we consider quality. Williams and Bell aren't really good enough. Clear neglect imo.

Pitch looking a bit worse for wear

Bringing Tosin and Cunningham in did strengthen us at the back.

Not enough.

Cunningham, Tosin, lenihan, nyambe would have been a decent back 4 this season. Ifs and buts. The but there is bugger all to come in after it. Bell, Williams, mulgrew, Bennett, plus a few academy teenagers. ?. 

[Exiled_Rover]

That's a red card if the ref is paying attention. 

[Miker]

Dreadful first 10 mins. Swansea should be down to 10 men but the ref bottled the decision.

Refs in this division are hopeless. Clear red.

[OldEwoodBlue]

Brentford and Bristol City winning

[Tom]

Lucky boy there could and probably should have been a red 

[G Somerset Rover]

Wouldn’t have looked out of place in a Karate fight. How on earth is that not red?! 

[Tom]

Twenty minutes in and Bennett has been appalling so far 

[Tom]

Good ball in by Samuel followed by an idiot push by Gallagher, not even subtle

Some things never change. Gone from an ‘okay squad player’ to one we simply must move on in the summer. 

Couple of the chasing pack winning today - imperative we follow suit.

Brentford 2 up

 

Sounds like we are shit as usual.

[Miker]

This referee has been a joke. How was that not a penalty? Gallagher got hacked down from behind by the Swansea player.

[OldEwoodBlue]

haha Gally

[Tugay-is-God]

G'wan Sam.

Have some of that.

[davulsukur]

Get in!

[Tom]

Written In the stars!

Superb from Nyambe and Gally (playing up front) scores 

[CD_93]

Fucking fantastic

[G Somerset Rover]

Gally’s first goal at Ewood for years!

[bluebruce]

Hurrah! The lad who never assists setting up the lad who never scores!

Weird Nyambe's first assist comes from playing centre half.

[philipl]

YESS Gallagher finally at home

[perthblue02]

Well done Rich Sharpe, it worked

[Bigdoggsteel]

Put that in your pipe and smoke it Sharpe!!!!!
