Rate MON v Blackbum

[AlbertTatlock]

6 for the 3 points and defence but shocking football devoid of any entertainment almost zero attacking threat couldn't string 2 passes together and gave the ball away every time we were in possession. It's a good job we're not losing or there'd be people screaming like slapped whores.

Gouranga.

Tough one really got the win, great, but to be giving up that early and giving them no chance of any sort of attack is a bit much, an outlet was needed.

6.5.

[mermaidsal]

Another clean sheet, move up a place, improve the GD slightly, hold out for 80+ minutes against a side that knows where the goal is... which all sounds great. But it doesn't disguise the fact we were fairly crap for most of the game, took little initiative in a home match... but we got the points, once again it was clearly what Mick set out to do... so better move my repeating 7 up one I suppose...

8 from me

please add * if by any chance you sneaked in

[mrteddysalad]

We were basically playing a 541 with Brown as a RWB, I don’t get it

[thischarmingmanc]

A resolute but limited home win against a fair team.

7 our of 10.

[StatesideStokie]

7.

Sneaked an early goal and shut up shop with a defensive master class.

Entertaining? Not at all, and I’m ok with that when we deposit another three points in the bank.

[davejohnno1]

11 AGAIN

we are winning games with josh tymon in central midfield.

[maninasuitcase]

Considering what we had available he deserves an 8

Wouldn't have started brown or ince though as both looked like passengers for most of the game.

Kudos to the defence though as they were lions on the day.

11 points out of 18 is a bloody good return so far in December, although I'm still pissed off with the Cardiff game.

10 with the team available against a very good side in my opinion

Who's been about as good as Thompson tbf, holds shape and thats about it, hopefully Mikel or Clucas will be back up to speed soon.

[RAF]

I would usually give at least an 8 for a home win and a clean sheet but I have to take at least a point off for making my eyes bleed with boredom and reminding me of the capped one!

[chad]

Solid 8 Probably the best team available on the basis of Inces performance in the last game (unfortunately he reverted to type)
Good subs to keep it tight

[benjaminbiscuit]

12 winning was everything today and he did it without
Campbell , Allen , clucas , Davis all of whom would start in our best 11 not to mention Mikel , McLean on the bench Etc amd with a very young core to the team and without the ball , brilliant organisation.

We did what we needed to and we have the 3 points, wasn't pretty but we defended well. Subs were fine again. We've played much better in other games but lost so it's nice we're able to grind out results. On to the next one, UTMP!

[andyapotter]

8. Brilliant team desensive performance. can't look to out score the opposition at the moment. Most teams will go through stale patches at some point. We are in one and
aren't loosing.

[ukcstokie]

7 Was a bit too defensive at times for me (Verlinden would have at least made the Blackburn defenders wake up).

I was getting really fed up with previous managers telling the fans how well the team are playing but never seeming to get the results to match.

Blackburn can score goals and we shut them out all game. Great result and much needed after the recent results

[thehartshillbadger]

To be fair to the manager after the game he admitted we were shit but great defensively so for that alone it’s a 10 for not bullshitting

[The man from Utch]

Result 10 What was on display 7 and the whole 7 is for the great effort of the defense and another clean sheet.

[skelman]

8 from me.
M'ON clearly has 110% support from the players and we've been continuing to bank points against the odds throughout our injury crisis.
I'll put up with any of his 'quirks' or frustration he causes me at times, in return for the pride he's rebuilding at our club.
Our most competent manager since Waddo imo!!

[Linx]

Didn’t watch the stream and followed the BBC text. After we scored it looked like a boxer being pummelled on the ropes for the rest of the game.

Squeezing out a 1-0 home win with -40% possession and three shots might keep us in the upper half but it doesn’t really bode well for a promotion push. For the moment, I’m putting it down to our injuries and I’d like to think that we could look a lot better once we get back to something like our first choice squad. Desperate to replace Campbell, though.

Would that be the capped one that took us into the Prem, and to Wembley a couple of times? Lovely football is nice, but only if you win games playing it.

[lancer]

Some might say Blackburn played the more attractive, attacking football, but they lost.

[loosestools]

8 for me, he knew what he would be up against and formulated a plan to thwart it.

[Deleted]

10. Loved the battling attitude today. That was a tough game with what we have available
