We were the better team for 60 Minna. The goal was coming but I thought the cutback was out of play. Not sure Chester was the last man either. I'd have taken a point before the game started and in the circumstances it could have been worse. Far more positives than negatives.

At 1-0, we needed to score again. I sometimes think we sit on 1-0 leads and don’t really go for a second. They were on the ropes and chasing shadows. 2-0 and we’ve won it. Think our mentality has to change. Norwich go 2 up, concede second half but still hang on and win. All because they went for number 2 goal when they were on top. Big 2 points lost. They looked surprisingly poor.

The thinking doesn’t extend beyond moaning mate. Nonsense. MON fucked up today with the subs. Didn’t watch the game but how many times have we said that this season. More often than not. No one wants him out YET but he has to start making the correct decisions it’s costing us loads of points

We sat back and gave them the game and nothing to think about in defencive terms, it allowed them to push further up the pitch which they weren't able to before. Or we lost the one player that was causing them problems which allowed them to play higher up the pitch and chase the equaliser that we needed. I didn't see any deliberate sitting back. We lost our impetus and they gained some with the introduction of Holtby. A change in midfield to stem the tide would have been nice and should have happened in my opinion but deliberately sit back? Not for me today. Nah we clearly sat back, Brown was pretty much up front on his own, yes Powell is a loss but that doesn't mean the other two wide forwards needed to be sitting in midfield. I agree with you about the subs mind, he just doesn't like making any, even if it is clear they're badly needed.

Subs were the difference today. Their's improved them, and we didn't make any changes soon enough we never do. Subs are O'Neill's achilles heal. What changes could we have made that would've effected the game? We had Clarke, Vokes and Ince on the bench. He brought Clarke on. The other two are pilloried every week by fans.

Thoughts on Bursik? Heard a lot of questions about his shot stopping and aside from letting it slip under him for the disallowed goal he put in some solid saves today. Overall another good performance but if that goal had stood he would have rightly been getting some stick, he obviously is also lucky a good quality to have.

4 points outside the play-offs now having played a game more than most.
The lack of goals is killing us. We need a run of 4-5 wins on the bounce and 8 wins out of 10-11 but we just aren't capable of doing that as things stand.
Frustrating case of so near yet so far!

For 60 minutes we were superb, we pressed well and we really effective on the ball. It was a polar opposite style to the Blackburn fixture at our place. Can’t fault MON for being negative, that is clearly his vision for us.

we never do. Subs are O'Neill's achilles heal. What changes could we have made up have affected the game? We had Clarke, Vokes and Ince on the bench. He brought Clarke on. The other two are pilloried every week by fans. With hindsight Clucas instead of Clarke, we looked so much better for 60 minutes, new players straight in - all things considered. Fair result

Not sure they are fit enough, we always seem to tire halfway through the second half. Mind you absolute crap pitch today, like watching a game in the seventies.

I think MON’s problem was that is was Matondo who needed subbing as they were storming down our right but he didn’t have clear options - Ince or Vokes with Brown going wide (maybe Clucas but he doesn’t like him wide). Powell going off took the Clarke option away.

I'll take that point given our attacking ability, away from home versus a team with a good goalscoring record.

The only ‘positive’ sub we had available was to put young Clarke on, he did that- we became stretched, conceded and Chester had to make a challenge so it’s didn’t become 2.

As Dave says and most of us can see, the lack of goals will hamper us big time. Today, however, I thought there was a lot to be optimistic about. Far less long balls and looked very cohesive for the first 2 thirds of the game..At the end we had a very young team, which is great to see. Imagine a fully fit Campbell in the side ☹️☹️

The other two are pilloried every week by fans. My initial sub would have been Cousins for Mikel. This is pre-Powell going off. They were over-running us in the middle. My point is O'Neill is far too late to react to situations and it's almost as if he waits for things to happen before being proactive.

Mon can do no wrong. It’s mad. Today a lot of us could see what was coming and that the midfield needed changing. It was poor management.

Blackburn fans consider that ball went out, and felt red card was a little harsh thar far out.
Big talking point I feel is that we didn’t force a second when Blackburn were clearly on the ropes. We are too negative, even when we are leading.
