People are upset about Borges getting injured, not van den Berg playing 

I read some of the comments that way but not others.

I think its to do with that sporting intangible - momentum. You just don't want to make changes when things are going well.

I agree with that mate, but Rav is back! And I'm on the Rav side of the fence. He's a better CB

Football is so woke innit

Quite so,,,  he meant to say that he is optically challenged 🙂 

The biggest threat? Ourselves. Giving away possession is a problem.

Played some good stuff but guilty of countless times - and various players - been responsible for gifting them the ball.

Thank God they are so poor.

Boos ringing around Ewood Park at half time.

Best half from Boro since...our purple patch (which seems like a lifetime ago now).

Played some beautiful football in the first 15-20 minutes. Scored 2 brilliant goals and could / should have had at least 1 more when Nacho was handed a chance on a plate.

Think Boro's energy levels dropped after that and Blackburn had more possession in our half, although in a very Boro-esque way never looked all that threatening. Most Travers had to do was collect some fairly comfortable crosses.

Really hope Borges going off was more precautionary than anything. Would be terrible to have his season end just as he was really starting to shine.

 

Anyway, as well all know a 2-0 lead is not a safe one with Boro. Need to see similar urgency second half and get at least 1 more goal to make the game safe. Blackburn will probably get a rocket at half time so we need to be on our guard.

Let’s hope we can continue this. Not sleepy start after half. Can see their striker being sent off soon

Mixed half for me, can’t complain about the start, defensively so far we’ve looked solid and the effort and closing down is faultless. Our passing and control kf the ball however has been awful for a lot of that half.

We pass to players a few yards away who either get closed down or rush their control/pass. Can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve seen a player get the ball and think yes great ball out to him. We never open up the play and pass into space. Always congested areas and never make any progress.
