Must been the best game I've seen for a long time, definitely the best under Slade.
Such a shame we lost that goal in the end. We were better side and we deserved to win. Exiting game.
Player of the match - Kennedy, but whole team deserves applause.
Well, maybe apart from Doyle, who was just not good enough...
In the second half Nooney lost his touch again... Seems like different player lately, but I hope he will bounce back.
OK, now we need to win in Huddersfield.

But we still needed the Whitts set piece to score so still a lot of work to do on opening up teams in an open play situation. But light years ahead of the rubbish served up against Brighton.

Annis, I talked to dad after arriving home from Australia and dad said that you told him last Tuesday that you think I like Slade, as I stick up for him on this forum. I wouldn't go as far as saying I like Slade, but what I will say is I believe Slade deserves his chance in the Championship for the fantastic job he did at Leyton Orient.
I have felt sorry for Slade from day 1, Juan Cala's comment showed Tan was initially making decisions about certain players like Daehli and Guerra not being played. With Tan making cut backs selling all our best players and Slade being given what I felt was a near impossible task of bringing in replacements on the cheap, I thought most of our fans were being very unrealistic in their demands and unfortunately, Slade was the person as our manager taking all the stick.
I haven't seen our past few games, but my main worry since Slade took over has been the possession stats. Having 30-35% possession in games for a team still including some of our key players who won this division by 8 points is nowhere near good enough and lately, even I was beginning to lose faith with Slade. I don't agree with Slade's persistence with 4-4-2 when we get overrun and I don't agree with some of his selections, but now the January window has closed and Slade has brought in his own players, I like to think Slade now has total control over his team selections.
We are unbeaten in our last 3 games and we have only conceded 2 goals. Those stats make us look a more organised team that's beginning to become harder to beat. Everyone seems to think tonight's performance was an improvement and we were unlucky not to win, so hopefully we are moving in the right direction and can pick up a much needed win. Slade's signings have all been given a few weeks to gel into the squad, so I think this point onwards is now a fair time to judge Slade.

All played well but thought Malone and manga stood out. My only cristisism was the final ball or just beating the last man, nooneys final ball was terrible. As for those who constantly go on about stay away fans, ccs is a Much better place without them. Non toxic, everybody behind the team just as I expected. Well done bluebirds

1st half we had a good 25-30 mins of decent ball play, started 2nd half well Blackburn came back into it... We were defending deeper & deeper, we then scored !!!!...Blackburn then started launching the ball in, we got caught with a quick cross Marshall made good reflex save, but NO one followed up they scored.
I also believe that WHITTINGHAM got stuck in made a tackle, there one for the Stats
Good point but feels like a defeat...play like that for the next few games will OZnLY encourage the team

Credit to Gunnar, that goal line clearance was awesome and he Gav absolutely everything.
Malone also had an excellent game.
Back to a simple 442 and looking far more solid because of it. Suits Whitts and Gunnar much more than that feckin awful diamond.
When things go badly make it simple.

Thought Malone had his best game for us and it was between him and Kennedy for MOTM also thought Whitts had his best game for ages and our tempo and passing was much quicker tomight.
After the Brighton debacle I expected to lose so I see it has a point gained but the 90th minute equaliser was sickening

Football is cruel at times. It just had to be Gestede!!
Encouraging performance though. Slade to be fair deserves a lot of credit for the way the team went about business.
By the way, I can lend you a curly red wig if you like.
Things are looking up. In fact, The sun'll come out tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow, there'll be sun....
