Ewood was a decent ground, but oddly there's no clock.

arthurfondrelli Goal was very strange with no one celebrating as it really didn't look like it went in

Listening to Dellor and Gooding, Blackburn sounded like a one trick pony, and their only main outlet seemed to be from set pieces. Not sure if the same was saw at the ground?

As was the case at Rotherham. Aerial assault is a noticeable weakness.

PieEater It's always good to get a last minute winner but really this game could have gone either way.
First half we started well and created some good opportunities and it looked like Blackburn were there for the taking. One great save from a McCleary shot, then some how we scored. A ball over the top to Samuel who took it wide and it looked to me like he'd hit the side netting and the adverts. Everyone else though the same as pretty well nobody celerbrated. The Blackburn video screen (pathetically) decided not to show the goal so I really dont know if it was a great shot or keeper error.
Then Blackburn came back into to it, Emnes hit the bar, Moore cleared off the line and from the resulting corner they scored a header from a palmed away save from AAH. Maybe a hint of offside?
We pressed again and Moore chested in Kelly's shot that came back of the bar. A couple of people got chucked out in the celebrations but at least we saw that goal.
Blackburn pressed again and AAH looked to have made a save that led to a corner, they were winning pretty well all headers and it was no surprise they scored but Gunts (I think) seemed to let the ball go under him. We pressed for the winner and were playing some nice stuff around the box, Beerens should have shot rather than passed - trying to walk it in. Them came the winner from a quick throw and Evans on the end of a cross.
Good games for AAH, Moore, McShane and McCleary. Pleased for Kelly, Blackett was poor.
Ewood was a decent ground, but oddly there's no clock. Not looking forward to a foggy journey back.

Much as many like to make the 'useless - adds nothing' Gunter the scapegoat for all things bad, it didn't look like it was him on the post when they scored - the player looked much shorter and with darker hair, so maybe Kelly? Whoever, it was, didn't really do what they are put into that position to do and it did look like they lifted their leg up to let the ball under!
BBC Berks commentary team were convinced that AAH had not saved the initial effort (they said that replays suggested the ball came off the post ; therefore it shouldn't have been a corner. However, you can be pretty sure that Jaap won't have been impressed with our defending from set pieces yesterday.

RoyalBlue Yes, Kelly exempt from blame. It was Kermorgant supposedly guarding the post - but WTF was he designated that duty when he is our best player in the air against opponents whether that be attacking or defending?!

Good at defending, good with his feet, put him somewhere that could require both?
Just imagining. I don't really know tbh.

Not the best use of his abilities IMO, far better to have him marking an attacker and clearing before the ball gets anywhere near the post!
