And Rodney Fern !

Nice to see Patson get joint 2nd - blimey, if he’d have knocked in that chance in the second half he might have got joint motm !

Just watched the last 15 minutes of Scotland- reminder of frantic exciting football in a cracking atmosphere

Yep , we were rubbish- but we weren’t lucky 😂😂😂😂

But why lucky? Both poor sides - our better players finally showed their better quality in the last 20 minutes? That’s not luck.

Why lucky? They were rubbish. Their goal came from our mistake. Our 2 goals came from exerted pressure , plus Abdul missed a sitter.

Where’s the voting thread? I enjoy doing it, as depressing as it is at the moment. I think Ben Nelson deserves credit for a good performance, after his shaky showing at Huddersfield

I didn’t think they were. I was expecting them to be better for their 2nd league position. I think the Okoli chance was the best scoring opportunity for either team . Any sort of contact that’s probably in, and with the pen we’d have been 2-0 at half time. I could have seen us clinging on 2nd half for a win. Underserved for our lack of ambition but it might have built some confidence. Now the late equaliser makes it feel like a defeat.

So you don’t think he put 2 great balls into the box 1 st half, one of which Okoli should have scored? He did alright tonight- glad for him and let’s just give him a bit of credit

It’s weird- we thought a couple of games ago he’d found some passion and was putting in the effort, but he’s reverted back to old self again hasn’t he. That shot from the corner in the 2nd half was abysmal.

He’s not a one trick pony. He will add more to his game, and will over time calm down as he matures. Such a shame that some of us want to moan about him. He’ll get fed up with us and move onto to bigger and better things. I for one will still get excited when he rips opposition defenders apart .

A one trick pony - get a grip! Have you missed his skill and tricks that gets him past 2 players with ease at times! Even today, having a poor game, he still managed to do that lovely bit of skill where he knocks it with his right foot with just enough to out pace the defender and he has the pace to get to it. As the Leicester comms said, the Blackburn players knew what he was going to do but still could not stop him. We were crying 2 months ago that he was off to Everton. Just enjoy him while we can. All he needs is a good coach- have we got one?

Oh, please please don’t sell

Cracking young player, he’s just trying too hard. A good coach would spend as much 1 to 1 time as necessary to convince him that he doesn’t always need to take players on , or after cutting inside try to score a screamer .

Abdul did but he can’t do it alone every game

Apart from Abdul and James we have no spark

Why? He’s a midfielder- what evidence have we seen of consistent performances from our midfielders ( apart from James, but he was absent second half )?

Anyone given him credit for that crucial reaction save first half- without it we’d have been 3 down

The famous long throw which isn’t really 🤔

1st yes- looked like he had cleverly intercepted their attack inside our half but his touch was too heavy and it fell to them, he couldn’t catch their runner and it was pulled back for their scorer with a tidy finish. 2nd partly: their left side played some nice passes around Hamza, got to the goal line and passed across our 6 yard box for a tap in at the back post but the scorer had got in front of Luke. Faes looked like he gestured to LT “ where were you”. Luke had a poor game tonight.

Only posting this as the Hull atmosphere is worse than us! Their own commentators saying how quiet it is, yet they’re winning 2 -0 and in their view playing well.

Sounded ok on telly

Come on you lot, why don’t more of you vote! Part of my post match routine is to check the votes and comments- or are we becoming apathetic to this thread as well.

Didn’t sound too bad on telly - not great but could be heard a few times- too quiet though after we’d scored.

I was lucky enough to see him play. Class player and one of my favs. We felt like an exciting and trendy team at the time with Weller, Wortho and Glover etc under Jimmy Bloomfield. Happy Birthday to Birch!
