Why drop Pratt and Gardner-Hickman?

It'd be quite a chuckle watching JRC trying to play RWB.

Bollocks.

Hostage video.

Where did he say Baradji, Tavares and Gardner-Hickman are considered box-to-box midfielders? If you're going to relentlessly argue with him, at least be honest.

Not sure it was a 'comfortable' option, more a frustrated one where we've traipsed down to Ewood Park twice this season in the rain only to see the match abandoned. It's quite a time commitment. With no apology for Saturday and no resolution in sight, how could we trust this club to fulfil the fixture if it rains?

There was a moment in the second half where the ball was played to Tavares near the edge of our box (by I assume Ribeiro, but it was by someone occupying that spot). Instead of turning on the ball into absolutely acres of space he played a simple pass the direction he was facing. Even Rovers commentary team, who see everything through rose tinted glasses, groaned.

I'm amazed Gardner-Hickman gets so much grief on here.

Because he's clearly not fit.

Did they have a shot on goal, besides the blatant foul the ref ignored?

Early days, but he looks promising that's for sure.

You'll have lost several thousand from the gate after Saturday. It was raining again and there are clearly no guarantees a game will be finished at Ewood when it rains. I was absolutely livid walking up the hill back to the car on Saturday - I made the decision not to go last night for the above reason.

Similar player to Emerton. Incredibly athletic, so a dynamic WB, but if you played him solely at RW he'd be stood up by the better LBs.

Pickering. Cannot. Run. Ribeiro, who's faster than Pickering (marginally) offered nothing on the left hand side today. It really is a case of stumbling across a formation that works for most of our players, but unfortunately it leaves our two LBs with no role to play.

Moreshita started and Cantwell and Baradji clearly aren't fit. So go on then, who would you have played?

That would be suicide, so you're probably right.

Best paid cloggers in the world.

Who would you have played instead?

It's more the quality on the ball that stood out. He's clearly nowhere near fit - although he does look mobile.

I wish our GK would make one or two saves...

Clearly nowhere near fit, but yes he looks like an excellent player at this level.

Pears hasn't had to make a save (and their goal was a foul). Their GK has made 3 excellent saves and we've fluffed our lines for other chances (like Morishita miscontrolling that pass at the death there).

2 points dropped - we've absolutely battered them. Their GK has had a blinder.

We're a PL outfit artificially held down in the Championship by our owners.

I'd love to know what Harris has on this ref. He should have been booked 3 times tonight.
