All of this negativity and I can only recall Pears making one save.

Beck is already a better player.

And this is how you end up with the likes of Dolan and Hedges as your wide options. Multiple times yesterday he sprinted nearly the length of the pitch to snuff out their attacks (one he fluffed with a bad slide tackle), but his job is at the other end. He's clearly willing to defend, but it shouldn't be his priority when he's our only pacey outlet upfront.

What were Travis' stats? Tronstad and Forshaw were playing two different positions yesterday - Forshaw was clearly playing further forward and trying to play progressive passes. Tackles are misleading, especially for CMs. How many tackles did Carrick make in his career? It's mostly about interceptions in that position. Not that I'm trying to say Forshaw is a patch on Tronstad, he's clearly not, but I thought he was solid yesterday. Certainly not the horrific player many have painted him out to be.

I'd kill to have owners that cared and ran us like a football club.

Our set pieces have been creative this season, but the delivery has always been shite.

We need 6 points from Cardiff and Derby without question.

He ran from behind their #19 (across his face). You clearly must have eyes like a hawk to rule that offside in real time.

You can't really high press a team with THAT much pace in their front 3. Get it wrong at any point and they're streaming towards your goal in numbers.

I'm obviously not an ex-professional referee, but I'm never sending a player off for Dennis' first tackle and, if anything, I'm having a word with Chrisene for trying to get a fellow professional sent off for the second challenge. I'm yet to see a replay of the Ohashi foul - obviously all of the scuff marks on the pitch are in the box, but I don't know where the initial foul was made.

Garrett on the bench in L2 is horrifying.

They've spent A LOT of money (which they've earned through player sales) - it's why Robbins was sacked. He's an excellent manager at this level, but with the squad they've assembled they should have been pushing for the automatics. They've won 8 out of 9 though so I'm sure they're getting plenty of favourable calls.

Hyam prefers being the junior partner - he never takes command.

I'd have booked Gunn for diving.

I just wouldn't play Dolan, he offers so very little. Not sure how it was a stupid sending off for Dennis - he had every right to go for that ball, it's a 50/50. The ref was clearly gagging to send him off as I'm sure the 4th official had been in his ear that the earlier tackle was a red (it wasn't). I'd love to see the Ohashi foul again - looked like a clear penalty and a yellow card to me (he'd got past both of them - it was a goal scoring opportunity).

Hyam was lucky but there was no malice in it - he was leaning in to stop the GK from taking it quickly and Gunn tried to con everyone. I'm glad we were too poor to buy Chrisene in the summer - what a non-entity of a player he is.

I don't really blame Cantwell for the poor corners / free kicks - he's stepping up because nobody else is. Brittain blasted one into the Blackburn End for some reason and Ribeiro barely beat the first man. We're crying out for a dedicated set piece taker - it's easily worth an extra 5 goals a season.

Same, not sure where all the negativity is coming from. Forshaw has been tidy, but obviously nowhere near as good as Tronstad. Dolan having one on his nine in ten games. They're a very, very fast team that's simply trying to draw us in and hit us over the top (or by using that flick pass down the centre). They're very hard to play against.

I'm not interested in consuming the fluff pieces from this club ever again after that disgraceful statement they released regarding Eustace.

It's funny how opinions differ, isn't it? In my eyes he's still clearly running his socks off. He looks like he's been carrying a calf injury for a while and obviously we've all lamented about the quality of players around him.

"Val, perform unsustainable miracles and you've got a £600k a year job for life". Our Academy is good, but it rarely produces a Wharton - and anyone since him that's been thought of as a PL talent has been stolen from the crib (Finneran, Phillips). That'll be the pattern from here on out.

Don't make me hate him.

I'm not surprised Beck broke down. Good job we got the Portuguese lad in.

Most of the fans have drifted away - you just have to look at a match day at Ewood Park.
