Considering we we were carrying 3 players, Ince,Allen and Powell all night I think we should be very pleased with a point. Allen did nothing offensively or defensively all night. I’d include Clucas in that list, aswell as the lamentable Gregory. The lads in defence and goalkeeper played well. Not sure how Campbell escapes the list, barely broke into a jog tonight.

Abysmal game of football. Another one goes by and I think can I be arsed watch much more shit like that. Boiling my bollocks would have been more entertainment And hopefully wouldn’t have taken 93 minutes 🤣 I’d be praying it didn’t

Amazing Sufolk Stokie - you probably won't be home until 2am at least - fantastic support mate And the result - really good It is hard to understand that despite having a good manager, having spent a lot of money and having a squad most of this league can only dream of, we still look second best to teams like Blackburn. Is it tactics, confidence or sheer inability that means we are getting played off the pitch by these and their ilk ? Hard to say but it certainly proves that money does not guarantee success at this level 👍

I couldn't watch it, favoured the champs league to watch some actual football rather than that dreadful impersonation.

I don’t think he could do that after the defensive horror shows in our last two away games. Yeh that’s a fair point. I just see teams below us winning and that’s what we need wins We have done very well ourselves since Christmas. Whilst it’s frustrating seeing the teams below us winning at least it’s sucking other teams into the mix. It’s looking like 50 points to stay up now this season.

Every time he comes on he does the square root of fookall. Diouf should be first person on if replacing Campbell, at least he is quicker and better in the air than Vokes and Gregory.

If we can draw our away games and pick up wins at home we should be o.k. Football not the best or most incisive but then we are 4th bottom of a 24 team league "Inclusive"?

Would have taken a point beforehand, Blackburn been in good form, get something at Luton and not a bad week, just can't afford to lose to those around us.

Shocking game, but a commendable point with some solidity demonstrated. The defining run of games is upon us and it’s in our hands. That’s immense considering where ww were.

I don't think was poor tactics just a few below par performances. We've been leaking goals, two clean sheets and 4 points v teams looking for play offs is ok with me. We would have lost this game in November and whilst I don't think Blackburn are some great team, one thing they do is close you down very quickly forcing errors and it worked tonight. We rarely looked like losing, one moment that summed out attack up tonight was a bouncing ball that Campbell stood watching and allowed them to clear with ease when he looked favourite to get there had he challenged. A decent point on the board and all the time we're closing the gap on those above us

He is so crap even the kids were laughing at him.

I didn't think we were poor. Defensively we were decent. Going forward we had naff all. I wouldn’t be happy if I’d paid and travelled to watch that tbh. But watching it free in me front room for a vital point, marvellous!

Credit to MON who has given us a great chance of staying up but we really are a hard watch. Tonights game was awful totally devoid of quality. More worryingly the game looked like a pre season/testimonial. I watched Luton last night. Despite winning they were crap. However they worked hard. If we play like tonight I can see us getting beaten. This really is a crap league, absolutely shit.

Again what was Campbell meant to do! We hoofed it to him all game and that’s not his game. He kept going and did what he could within a plan that was set for a point.

I know he's beyond criticism for some but am sure if was Ince doing the same he'd get it . Stood still tonight as he has a tendency to do too much.

He kept going and did what he could within a plan that was set for a point. Of course it's not his game but as a lone striker he has to defend from the front. He has to run around , harry defenders and generally be a pain in the arse. He didn't even break sweat tonight.

I thought we played ok and apparently Blackbum were one of the form teams who a lot of our own fans were saying we'd get dicked against. Gouranga. Yep, one of the highest scorers in the league as well so quite happy with the result. Not a great performance but we've played better and lost

Would have taken a point before tonight. Clean sheet, let's go again at luton. That game will be alot more open, tonight was about getting through a hard slog at a top 8 team who have been good at grinding out results

Absolutely loved the whole 95 minutes of that game. We're a relegation threatened team playing away at an in form team aiming at a play off place. A glorious well earned gritty point towards survival.
God how I hate these entitled wannabe "come on Tarquin just why aren;t we the Arsenal of the North" supporters we picked up in the Premiership. Oh how we should be so much better - this league doesn't deserve us. To be fair it doesn't - it deserves a proper club who get just what a battle it is if to stay in this league.
Well done O'Neil. Well done the players. And sod off to all the pretentious prawn munching "I'm so Premiership" dickheads who just don't appreciate a well earned point.

I was pulling out what's left of my hair in the last quarter as we persisted in hoof ball up to nobody.
Earlier in the match though I thought MON is gradually getting the team to play less side to side and backwards balls than they have done under recent managers, and putting together some neat passing moves.
We missed our chances to score in the first quarter and then gradually got worse and worse creatively. At least the defence didn't mess up today, although they came close a few times.

We won't until McClean is back, no one else has the quality to play that ball he needs like Powell and out on the left limits him quite a bit, maybe Clucas but that would probably mean too many changes for MON.

Four points from Cardiff and Blackburn is four more than I thought we’d get from those two matches after the QPR game. That said we really need to get ahead of the likes of Hull and Charlton in the table with the wins the bottom three are picking up.
