Will need a second I reckon.

Another 3 without reply and I'll start daring to believe.

Barnes being slightly crocked might have helped. I'm not entirely convinced he'd have started Nunez with Barnes fully available.

[Robert N. LiM 4,376]

Odd half. We look comfortably the better side but Blackburn have probably had the better chances. As a wise man said, we need a second

Our defence seldom looks solid this season.

Possibly, but if there was ever a game where Barnes was likely to be particularly horrible to play against and particularly fired up, it would be Blackburn away, considering he played for Burnley for so many years.

Master of the understatement there, ricardo! 😀

[Ken Hairy 3,773]

Need to up this 2nd half, Blackburn there for the taking but it's far too scrappy and error ridden at the moment.

Decent enough half, but next goal crucial to result. 

[cambridgeshire canary 6,730]

Gunn has saved us really, should be going in 2 or 3 1 down.

[dylanisabaddog 4,931]

Arte et Labore my ****. 

Labore perhaps. Dirty sods

[Monty13 2,235]

Decent half, Blackburn look shocking but Gunns had to make two excellent saves.

We should win this but we’ve not created much from open play.

Ewood park looks so empty, crazy.

[rock bus 853]

Decent half, been in control and playing within ourselves I’d say.

IF we get a second could easily turn into 4 again

[ron obvious 1,505]

Very worried about this one. We look half asleep. Bit better after the goal but relapsed into a torpor again.

Not enough Latin-based comments on this forum.

[cambridgeshire canary 6,730]

Feels like we need Onel and Barnes on in the second half me thinks

Right. Apparently the word r-e-c-t-u-m gets deleted by Fraser the Eraser. Go fornicate yourself, Fraser! With a fornicating cactus!! Up the botty!!!

[Capt. Pants 4,240]

Were dominating midfield but Rovers getting back in it. Sainz and Fassnacht pretty quiet.

Strangely Gunn has been much the busier keeper.

Need another as we saw last night how quickly a 1-0 lead can disappear.

[ricardo 7,395]

If we are realistic about making a playoff challenge then we have to see this game out for a win.

That’s crap. He’s made one decent save, as has their guy, nothing else other than regulation stuff at either end.

I think it was usual instruction from Wagner to the team to conserve energy. But it just hands momentum to opposition. Happens all the time. We have to go for the jugular when we are on top, but rarely do. If it weren't for Gunn we'd be losing at the moment.

If I was putting something on Twitter I’d make sure my pink and green tentacle dildos weren’t on display.

Yes. I think Barnes is a brilliant target man, holdup and then clever running makes space and openings for others.

Sargent and Barnes together are far more effective than either alone.

To be fair, my old secondary school made us do Latin for a year, then we had the choice to keep studying it, or take German or Russian instead. Unfortunately French was compulsory all the way to GCSE, as my preference would have been to study both German and Latin. I took German and, well....

Mutare vel timere sperno, indeed.

Utter nonsense,  he's made 1 good save from Gallagher and their lad made a good one from Sargent. If we were 3-1 down it'd be an utter injustice on the balance of that first half.

Indeed. Some people do seem to think every save Gunn makes is a worldie that only he can make, when most are fairly straightforward.

[Capt. Pants 4,240]

Fassnacht should do better there
