The Brentford and Swansea matches are basically home bankers and the form Watford are in you’d expect them to win at Blackburn. No real surprises here.

I thought Onel make a big difference when he came on and was exactly what we needed. Credit to Farke for that one.

I think that pitch can take a lot of credit for Brums first half performance.

Same again for me please.

How did their CB stay on the pitch? The high challenge 2nd half was probably a red with VAR and he’d already got away with several.... And the one with Pukki through on goal, the same guy just completely missed the ball!

As odd as it sounds, Watford picking up some form really ramps up the pressure on Swansea and Brentford. As long as we keep picking up points, this could actually be a good thing.

After arguably the best overall performances of the season (taking into the conditions on Wednesday) why would anyone want to change the team? Just my opinion but I don’t think you can change a team that’s performed so well over the last couple of matches.

Anyone know who Rose is? McCracken is the usual keeper.

I don’t understand this culture of having to air everything on social media, whether it’s, Todd or anyone else. Just live your own life and those that care, will know what’s going on anyway.

Yep, good performance today, aside from the obvious. Was great to see the two FB’s bombing forward again.

We’re always going to give away goals if we take risks keep trying to play it around at the back. Which I fully understand and accept. Our first goal was created due to playing it around at the back and likewise theirs was the same. It looks brilliant when it comes off and silly when it doesn’t. But we can’t have it both ways!

He certainly seems to have an issue whereby he’s not on the pitch past the 75th minute when he starts a game, however he is playing. Could be ankle connected.

The fact that Hernandez is on the bench today and Placheta isn’t surely suggests that the former is considered a better option currently?

What we definately don’t want to see is a Skipp, Rupp, McLean midfield. They are all too ‘samey’. Despite their obvious talents, I think we have the same problem playing Cantwell and Buendia either side of Pukki. We are too one paced and one dimensional. Especially with the afore-mentioned midfield three. I now guarantee that all of these five will start today!!!

As mentioned by some earlier, I think there’s a strong argument to see if Idah can be this seasons Steipi. Play him behind Pukki at no 10 to be a physical presence and a nuisance to defenders. This should leave Pukki far less isolated and also create space for him as Idah will draw in defenders. We’d also regularly have more than one person in the box (for a change) and much more of a goal threat.
