Birley Owl 1867 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 As per title. Nothing has come off for us today. Poor first 10 but started getting into game, then the ref played his part which effectively killed the game there and then. With 10 men too we cant even take much from this. Move on and forget quickly. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughan Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 We were crap before sending off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1Owl Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Something stinks big time.. How can they come off a great victory away with all the passion showed after final whistle to a dour display like this.. I think the atmosphere has lots to do with it. After the passionate high playing away they come home to dour Hillsborough.. It's up to the fans to create an atmosphere but it's dire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last 3 games we weren't down to 10 men agtee 20 mins. We was getting into it and would have got something today had it not been for the red easily. Like I said, one of them days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreshOwl Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 No rubbish, not having that. Losing 0-5 at home to a mid table Blackburn side isn’t just ‘one of those days’. You get a man sent off you stay resolute. You don’t ship 5. Absolute effin calamity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 It’s the first time this season that we’ve had such a shocker A lot went against us today, but at no stage did we impose ourselves on them Is this down to negative tactics, I’m not sure it is. For me, and this isn’t hindsight (check my posts) I don’t believe we’ve had the attacking threat to take the game to the opposition Consequently, we struggle to consistently put sides under pressure during home games We’ve actually done well to achieve this amount of points, mainly down to our defence. Today was just one home game to far. Luckily we don’t have another home game before the end of the window All we need to do now, is Monk and the recruitment team, is get their @rses into gear and stop p#ss#ng about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMOwl72 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Was always on the cards...Blackburn without a win in 6.....’What’s the plan to stop the rot boss?’......... Don’t worry lads were at Hillsborough next week! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westfield Owl Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Sorry but I don’t think you can put getting routed at home by a bang average Blackburn Rovers team that had been in rancid form themselves down to being ‘just one of those days’.

Move on and forget quickly. I might think you'd have a point had we not lost our last 2 home games prior to this with pretty inept displays. The lack of fight with 10 men was also pretty alarming. We lost 5-0 at home to a mid-table team who had lost their last 3 away games and they eased off for 40 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No coincidence that our home form has fallen off a cliff with his absence. I know he played 45 minutes against Hull but it was clear he wasn't fit and a sign of how desperate we are up top without him at home that Monk threw him on in that game. Today Blackburn knew we had no outlet to retain possession up top so they could press us high without the fear of us getting at them as we couldn't keep the ball in attack. We were 2nd best before the red card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owly Mowly Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Can’t call that “one of those days” today. Even at 3-0 in second half - they needed to show the fans that they are willing to fight for some respect - and they didn’t - not acceptable under any circumstances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1st 20 minutes when we had 11 men and still couldn't get out of our own half? I try to be optimistic or at least not too critical of the team most of the time but this is just deluded. I hope we don't get beat 5-0 any time soon at home under Monk or any other manager but lessons are not being learned in other respects, like conceding late goals or being capable of getting a result when we concede first.
