Cardiff-home

[Blueandwhitemike]

I think we’ve been pretty decent but still lacking a little cutting edge going forward, been some near misses, Dack laying off to graham, graham laying off to Johnson, both just a touch off from being very very good chances, Dack with a back post header straight to keeper instead of over him to unmarked graham.  Need to add a little quality.  

Cardiff had a couple of decent chances and have looked occasionally dangerous but Rovers had more control of the game.

whichever team shows that bit off extra quality will win.

Ealton made a good save and has had a couple of good catches too.

Rovers 64% possession according to BBC

At the ground I'd put it much closer 55/45. We've had the chances to be 2-3 up but deflections, or good defending depending on your point of view, have kept it level.

This is a very close game, too close. I don't feel at all relaxed.

Usual Rovers,  final pass a few times has been poor. Bell not half as good as Cunningham. Usually do well attacking Blackburn end so hopefully a strong 2nd half

[Angry_Pirate]

HT. What an unbelievable snooze fest, as always. 6 games in, 1 first half goal (penalty). 

Tony Mowbray is a boring manager.

Could literally buy a (second) half season ticket and you'd probably miss 3 Rovers goal. 

And for christ sake, leave someone on the half way line when defending set pieces. We have zero counter attacking threat. 

Yawn.

[lraC]

0-0 written all over it at the min. Not enough quality from either side

Dack very quiet - think he needs more quality and creativity around him who he can link up with. Give them something else to worry about, would get Rothwell on right now.

 

Totally agree get Rothwell on running at their back four

I would like to see the marketing slogan for that one.

The good old 0-0 HT at Ewood. A classic feature of the TM era. 

[philipl]

Both sides to score not looking such a good bet at the moment!

[Reedy You're A Star]

Don't think Cunningham will  be sweating over his place in the team. Bell is a complete liability.

[frosty]

Absolutely desperate for a change to be made, so slow and one-paced today.

[Husky]

We look stale. They look fresh.

The game is only going to go one way unless changes are made.

[BankEnd Rover]

Get Rothwell on!

[CambridgeRover]

How is Gallagher doing? What is the formation?

[Tugay-is-God]

Dacky off again, he's really not seen out many 90 mins this season so far.

Will always be the case with Graham, Downing, Dack and Gallagher up top. It’s so bloody one-paced as you say - and boring. At home too FFS.

On a side note - a terrible start to the season from Dack.

[Tugay's Right Foot]

Arma on for Danny too

[Reedy You're A Star]

Dack and Graham off?

Rothwell and Armstrong on. Hope Gally goes up top, not Armstrong

[Stuart]

Not sure how Downing has stayed on the pitch!

[Reedy You're A Star]

Me either. i would just have swapped Downing for Rothwell

[G Somerset Rover]

Stats show Cardiff having double the shots we’ve had and just ONE on target from us. We’re really struggling this season going forward aren’t we. 

[Husky]

Suddenly almost everyone that was good in our last game is rubbish.

Walton MOTM so far

[BankEnd Rover]

Downing having a mare. Rothwell has to start next game. He won't though.

[Tugay-is-God]

Finally Nyambe getting some minutes, on for Downing.

Not quite sure the logic here.

[Reedy You're A Star]

Downing finally hooked for Nyambe.. Bennett to RW.
