This will inevitably be a jinx, but we look a reasonably solid mid-table team, which is where we’d be if we had the Wednesday win (and more so if we had the Ipswich win). If we hold on here we’ll likely end on around 30 points at the half way point - proper mid-table.

Did anyone see what Alebiosu got booked for?

Too easy for Ohashi, but hat tip also to Tavares there for anticipating it and a perfectly weighted pass

What goes through these referees heads? A yellow for Ohashi for their keeper following through into him and nothing for there lad who clattered into Pears.

Yeah the river hasn’t moved, the pitch hasn’t moved - yet it’s 3 games abandoned in 12 months or so, but I’m struggling to remember too many in the 20+ years prior It’s negligence and incompetence that has led to this

They’re so uninterested they probably have no idea this is happening, and I’d imagine the stooges are perfectly happy with that

I have a horrible feeling about this one - when was the last time we put in a clinical performance when expectation was high?

We have two actual left backs on the bench though! Why are they even in the matchday squad if they’re not going to be used in this exact scenario! If you’re going to drop someone in for the last 10 minutes for Hedges it goes Pickering, Ribiero, a random bloke in the Jack Walker, then De Neve. As others have said, it’s like they’re trying to justify the transfer policy by only playing Gestede players. EDIT: Pickering not even in the squad, point still stands re: Ribiero

Yep…he has to stop this De Neve at left back for the last 10 mins. The lad cannot defend at all. If you’re going to make that sub, stick on Pickering or Ribeiro - it makes absolutely zero sense

Quite like how he did that. Speech sells itself, “you battered a premier league squad for 170 minutes, but robbed by appalling refereeing”

Mustn’t be many more cursed clubs than us. I’m absolutely sick of it

Fuck you Blackburn Rovers

Gueye an absolute disgrace walking around - I never want to see him in a rovers shirt again. Walking back on side, not closing them down when they have the ball

I’m sweating with these 2 in CM and De Neve at LB.

We’ve looked a threat on every corner haven’t we. Free kicks a bit more suspect except the nice one down the left in the first half. Cant remember the last time we were dangerous on set pieces!!

Deserved that so badly! Come on serve us some justice and hold on here! Ipswich comms even saying we deserve it

He’s already been clipped on that screenshot - foul had already taken place

We need to keep pressing them. Walton and the CBs are terrible on the ball

It’s a red card - look how far back Davis is, him being able to catch Morishita is the only reason he wouldn’t give a red, and he is clearly well behind

Of course it is 😂

We’re clearly the better team, but such a lack of quality in and around the box. These are the halves where we miss Cantwell

Whilst I agree, I actually think this is the best half I’ve seen him play for us

1st two are never available and god knows what’s going with Cantwell but I’ll be amazed if he wears blue and white in February. Ill give you Tronstad and Toth though - but wouldn’t call that the cavalry

Who the f*ck are the cavalry? Yet to remember a season we’ve exited January stronger than we started under Venkys

You know we’ve got zero footballing ability in the squad when the two players stood over a 20 yard freekick are Forshaw and McLaughlin. Seriously, it’s absolutely laughable
