Bouncing Owl Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Difference in quality was stark in my opinion and Blackburn are now a very good team who can beat anyone in this division. We looked sold and extremely defensive playing a 5-4-1 but we can’t keep relying on getting points playing this brand of football in the hope of getting a 1-0 win on the back of a screamer. Personally, I think we need at least 4 quality players in January. Not been negative, but I think we.are down unless we recruit in the right areas of the pitch. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 So so poor upfront. Hope to God we have deals lined up to be announced as soon as the window opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks level to me, very unfortunate not to get that Not one Rovers defender put his hand up to complain, as far as I could see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm worried about us selling him for next to nothing in January to prevent him leaving for free in the summer. He's been our only creative outlet in the last few games.

I think the arm up probably makes him look more offside because he’s leaning one way and the Blackburn player is leaning the other... I’m still glad we don’t have VAR though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sternlad Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Thought Reach did well for that goal...no shilly shallying...one touch and curled it in beautifully. Reminiscent of The Owlsman's half time dump! Still struggling to see what was wrong with Lee's goal, was it offside or a foul on the defender? Bemused by that.

Guest Bulgaria Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Expected us to lose so happy with a point. We made a free scoring Blackburn look rather insipid, although that nagging feeling that we could do better always rankles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beswetherick Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 What gets me with Paterson is that his first touch stepping out of defence after winning the ball was really good on a couple of occasions today - once in particular he sold a lovely dummy and opened up the space to run into - then he lets himself down with his third or fourth touch when he overhits the ball and it runs straight back to the opposites instead of launching a counter attack. So frustrating to watch because those moments are really crucial to a team that’s set up to play the way we are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyowl Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Draw was a good result, but it was awful to watch and the tactics and the way Pulis sets us up to play will see us down. Far too negative, far too deep, too many men behind the ball, dont press until last 3rd! How can we expect to attack teams with 1 up front and winning the ball on our own penalty area!
