Newcastle don't look arsed at present. Which makes it a little concerning that we only have one proper effort on goal to show for it. If they wake up the tide could change.

JRC looking poor, what's happened to him last two games?

JRC out of position AGAIN blame Mowbray

[Ricky]

Surely PNE must be looking at him and thinking how did we let this happen!

[bluebruce]

Nyambe's deliveries looking a lot better since Bournemouth. Hope that continues, he will be a serious weapon if he can put good crosses in consistently.

[bazza]

We seem to have been on top so far.  Why have we not scored yet?

He is on the bench discussing terms for his return to the Toon

I'd also like to blame Mowbray for this bright start

EDIT: boy did I jinx that

We’re never going to score bucket loads with Brereton up top. I don’t blame TM for wrapping Arma in cotton wool because he’s the only steady source of goals until Dacky’s back.

That was fun while it lasted.

[AggyBlue]

Typical

[Trinidad Rover]

Lenihans fault. He gets an easy ride - so over rated.

Played very well though.

[SBlue]

We looked like Brazil this half then concede.

WE ARE BLACKBURN ROVERS

[bluebruce]

Well they woke up. We have dominated play but shown no penetration. Can't just pass tidily outside the box and expect to score.

[mustard]

Played very well but lacking final ball and then typically they score against the run of play.  Fraser slipping through between Lenihan and Nyambe.

[Exiled_Rover]

The communication at the back is a fucking disgrace. What a soft goal.

[chaddyrovers]

We should track Fraser's run

[G Somerset Rover]

Ayala’s got a job on his hands with this lot. We’re so fecking easy to score against, it’s ridiculous!

[CD_93]

Welcome to Rovers, Ayala. Good luck.

I'm not blaming Mowbray for JRC having sloppy touches and looking sluggish, even if he is in goal.

Wouldn't say he is massively out of position anyway, just on the wrong side.

[bazza]

Ayala to replace Lenihan at CB?

[Roverinbelfast]

Such a soft goal to concede. Having been on top most of the game. I would love Brereton to grab a game by the balls some time and actually do something. He just always looks like he is going through the motions. 

[bluebruce]

Feel like defensive organisation could be the main benefit we get from Ayala. I dunno if we have a defensive coach but they're either shit or the players aren't listening.

Either Lenihan or Nyambe should track that run

That goal was Nyambe's fault. He played the goalscorer onside and then stopped tracking the run.
