Blimey that was pretty dismal and we were lucky to get a point!

ok... before i start, i saw the match on a fairly rubbish stream, but...

- thought mackie looked good today for a player that has been out for the best part of a year and was making his first start in the prem;
- felt joey b was fairly anonymous, but there'll be days like that;
- can't believe that anyone is saying swp is overrated/terrible, not at his best today though admittedly.

thought blackburn did their homework today: neutralized traore's runs and managed to subdue most of our creativity. draw was a fair result - in truth we made the better chances overall, but not much in it.

i'd had a bad feeling about today. kean is useless as a manager, but somehow he manages to pull the rabbit out of the hat when he needs it (wolves on the last day last season, ar*enal this season)... thought he might think he'd get the sack if they lost today. we don't tend to get much against blackburn - i wanted 3 points today, but 1 will do me.

really not looking forward to the next few though... still thinking we'll get something from them though.

You have the advantage of me there Sir as...

Ive watched it many times from different angles it was an awful challenge and definitely a penalty. Your view is incredibly ignorant about going down, under that much contact i would want any player to go down because you force the ref to make a decision. If you dont go down then the ref is just going to let you play on. You clearly have something against Adel.

I only saw it live from about 40yrds away so have based my opinion partly on where I was sat(near the front of LL near the corner by ER) and also on previous OTT crumples or going to ground in a very theatrical manner.. don't think it does him any favours.. I see your point about going down but maybe I'm old school and or out of touch but I effing well hate this sort of behaviour... There are aspects of AT's game that I despise (the aforementioned being one of them) and there are also aspects that I adore... mainly from last season... I am beginning to wonder whether AT has enough in his armoury to make enough of an impression in the EPL to make him worth all the histrionics and or baggage....

AT got away with murder last season as on the whole he was doing the business far more often than not... this season is a totally different story.. ok so he's hit the woodwork a few times but lets be honest it's looking very ordinary and his body language and tantrums are starting to cost him and us....Why do you think NW dropped him yesterday... if he was doing the business then like last season he'd get away with it.....

OTT post. We were poor, but not as poor as you make out. Thought we looked a bit better when Adel came on - he is the only spark of creativity we have, so needs to play. Also thought Barton and Faurlin were OK. Don't think Mackie is a long term solution but not a bad performance after a year out and at least gives a bit of fight which we needed after a 6-0 defeat. Agree Derry is overdue a rest and think a lot of fans view him with rose tinted spectacles because of last season.

Summarised perfectly.
