We have to do better than Pickering.

Would love for BBD to stay after such a start to the season. Give him an offer he can't refuse. 

[neophox]

Those sayin we should take £15m for Brereton Diaz makes me laugh... what a quality strike that was....feeling a bit like Shearers days!

[ItsRoverZ]

Huge huge 45 mins coming up

West Brom look dangerous but only created one clear chance they should of done better with, we look solid all over the pitch

I think if we need a 2nd goal but honestly would be over the moon with a clean sheet

I think Venkys could use some special money for a new contract here.... Lenihan, Nyambe and Rothwell wasn't in that category...

Kevin Gallagher constantly referring to "Blackburn" on the BBC

He really should know better

[JacknOry]

The story of Brereton has been fantastic.

Would much rather we held on to him for the season and risk losing him for free but have the hope of a solid push for promotion.

Diaz really should have 2. The dive by Brereton Would have been a tap in for Diaz.

Do we change pickering at half time for edun or keep the same team and go again? Teams seem to target our left side  too scared of brittain haha

My mate said we are flukey ..done nothing all game but one long shot haha 

Long may our flukey streak continue, would be a phenomenal result if we hold on here 

[Doaksie]

Expecting another child at the start of next year - I hope it's a boy. Jon Dahl doesn't work for a girl's name.

Flukey - that goal was pure class. Bit of skill and the finish was sublime. 

[K-Hod]

Bit of a strange half, that. Thought WBA looked far more likely to score than us, then BBD pulled that one out of nowhere!

Big half coming up, think we will be under a lot of pressure!

[all you need is duff]

Defensive injuries are a concern with Pickering and Brittain both going down during the first half. I also noticed that Ayala has tape on his thigh and Kaminski on his neck

Stunning goal, on the balance West Brom maybe edging it but it counts for nothing 

Pickering is a worry; they are targeting him and beating him every time 

[Gav]

Lucky to be leading, West Brom by far the better side, but goals win games, can we hold on.

[Guest]

Hedges gave the ball away a lot first half, and Buckley seemed somewhat out of sorts. Hopefully things will come good kicking towards the BBN end!

Allez les BLUE!!!

Fortunate to be ahead, but we’ll take it.
 

Teams have identified Pickering as the weak link. Hasn’t stopped a cross all game. Need genuine cover there or to try Tayo longer term.

Ash Phillips looks distracted to me. Lot of adrenaline at play, I guess, but hopeful half time calms him a bit.

We can comfortably play on the break in the second half. One more is a heavy wound, a third is fatal, just like Swansea.

I'm sure the manager would have noticed and will see to it. 

[AllRoverAsia]

Wallace and Furlong will trouble whomever plays left side for us. BBD is putting a shift in to help out.

Cracking goal.

Losing our 1 of 2 established center backs is a massive blow. You cant pickup points this way. Unless Phillips pulls out a miracle performance I'm afraid the honeymoon is ending today. We need CBs, very straight forward. 

Hope I’m not tempting fate, but Phillips has looked very comfortable so far.

We've completely neutralized them and fashioned a chance that Brereton has brilliantly slotted away.

Your mate needs a lesson in football.

The crowd noise sounds more like it used to 🙂 Vive la JDT Revolution!

Allez les Bleu!

Kevin Gallacher probably gets annoyed at being called Gallagher, to be fair 😉
