Yet more effective than others, we see what we want to see at times

He’s an absolute waste man, get rid by any means possible, absolutely robbing a living for years

Come on someone out there be a hero, these are a decent team but nothing too special

Bloody hell I can’t believe I’m seeing Gueye taking any blame for this, he’s had nothing to work with but actually won the balls he’s had a chance to, Cantwell has been diabolical and it’s through him it’s all breaking down

A huge blow in a game that didn’t have much in it, Cantwell holds his line 5 minutes ago and it’s a different story

Yep but you can still keep the pressure on not just turn away

See that ball from Gueye was too heavy for Cantwell but he just gave up on it, really poor, if he’s not fit get him off

Beck, Cantwell and ACD in particular so poor so far.

The problem is I think we’ve been trying to be clever like arsenal but too smart for our own good

No shots either way yet? They’ve got a foothold on possession but we’ve had a good number of set pieces but not making the most Edit another absolute stinker of a corner

Cantwell first in the book nailed on here

Wasteful free kick and then ACD losing it easily again leading to a counter attack, he needs to watch that it cost us last time out

Ewood looks amazing in its full glory

Not sure I would have gone with ACD over Hedges in this one - but then again I always question what Hedges brings in an attacking sense. Police en masse around St Bede’s using the top car park as a base - hope it goes without incident and we get those 3 points

Not even subtle now are they?

Come on Fretters - just admit you are here on the wind up, did you really register before the last game and stay waiting for your chance but Weimann ruined it last time out?

Well he won’t get an assist for his role in Batths goal so they cancel each other out there 😛 By the way does anyone know what Roversfan99’s view on Mahktar Gueye is; I’ve been keen to hear it

Bad feeling about Barnes, maybe time to sign Dunn, Pedersen and Di Santo

I’ve never been a pro athlete but I reckon instagramming is easier than playing a second flight match

Because he lost the ball every time it went his way apart from one good header in the middle and had a really poor effort with a rare chance we got. Nothing stuck with him at all.

Agree that Gueye is best from the bench but Leonard was really poor yesterday so it’s a tough decision, maybe Weimann can do the role but I never like playing without a true forward. On balance I think I’d give Leonard the nod, young lad in a big derby is a gamble but he’d be well up for it, bring Big Mak on at half time if needed.

I actually thought Pears was poor today overall, kicking was atrocious and came for crosses and didn’t get there, however he came up with the goods in injury time again One criticism I had of him previously was he didn’t seem to have a touch of the ‘Friedels’ the trait wherein a keeper can win you a match or get you a point against all odds, the save against Sunderland in particular was right out of Brad’s trick book!

Bit of a shame about Hannibal, he looked like getting sent off against us last time out and isn’t the best

I think the penalty is just about a penalty but I have real issue with the way he seemingly allowed himself to be influenced A few noticed after the goal as we all wheeled away in celebration Gueye went for a knee slide and went arse over tit, would love to see a full clip as his comedy knows no bounds I posted earlier that I’d love a battling draw and it was exactly that, a near perfect away performance against league leaders

10 minutes was excessive but would have been set on the board before we scored so we would have had 10 minutes to equalise
