Blackburn v Middlesbrough 1-0

[RiseAgainst 2,170]

Blackburn have done a number on us tonight, but we made it easy for them. We were really poor across midfield, Connolly had a shocker, Taylor offered absolutely nothing, and McNair was woeful in the build up to their goal. As for Howson...the less said the better.

Far too many sub par performances tonight. Pretty awful throughout the team added to the fact that CW got it wrong too. 
Monday night football sucks ass

It was more than a successful pass.  It was about our best pass of the entire game.

Not much competition for that.

Top 2 gone

Deserved nothing against a second string Blackburn, can’t complain

Connelly can’t start next one, he’s no where near ready…. Watmore back upfront for me next one or try Balogun 

[SouthernSmoggie 1,861]

Really disappointing tonight. Bearing in mind we are virtually full strength and they are missing key players... Perhaps a reality check.

Unlucky Sonni Boro messed up for you

Ah well. focus on top 6 because zero chance top 2. Not good enough

This is why I haven't been getting carried away. I had a sneaking suspicion we might come unstuck against other top 6 teams.

Massively disappointed with that. We squandered a lot of chances. Should have had a penalty and dirty Balckburn do us again. 

Hope Mowbrays happy mind.

Wonder what payero is thinking not getting in after watching Tav and howson play like that

Better team than us based on what we've seen tonight.

They’ve won the tactical battle and without their best players. We are naive, still fall asleep second half and believe if we just have enough strikers in the pitch we will get out of trouble.

but the diving and whinging from Blackburn is aweful.

and their goal was offside but that’s a separate matter.

We've missed some golden late chances and not been at our best - but why there is so much negativity on here is beyond me. We're on a great run and playing an away fixture against an extremely tough side. Relax.

Just didnt come off tonight...the stoppage really hurt us, felt like we were knocking on the door at that point. One mistake is the difference.

Blackburn wont be top 2 though
