" WHAT I THINK FROM TODAY/WE COULD BE IN TROUBLE "

We kept the ball well for large parts of the game and there were some good passes in our own half. Defence did well, it took a set piece and a penalty to stop us getting a point and a clean sheet.

But we have no creativity. We didn't look close to scoring today against an average QPR side. And if we can't score goals then we are going to have big problems this season.

If we don't get a win on Wednesday then we are in real trouble, Blackburn are a club and team in crisis. It may sound dramatic after only two league games, but it's a fact that we're struggling already.

Yes but also to lift the crowd because if we keep going with no shots on goal and zero excitement, the crowds will soon dwindle.

We're not going to win if we can't score a goal, and so far no goals from 3 matches.

Not looking good.

I thought we could be in trouble before todays game. Now I think even the most optimistic of city fans are concerned.

With not even a sniff on goal,,,,pathetic!!! :angry4:

Not being funny, but the defence did not do particularly well. Gave caulker a free header, and gave away a penalty when there did not seem to be a huge danger. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's how it looked from the opposite corner.

Not filled with any confidence for this season Annis.

True, but I really can't see goals coming from anywhere. If we don't bring in some creativity and a striker, then we can get used to days like yesterday.

Exactly. The crowd of 15,000 yesterday was ok, but that's only because it was the first home game of the season. Yesterday may well have put some off, while others will not turn up for a while if these performances continue.

Agree, not looking good at all.

One shot on target is not good away in this league, let alone at home.

It looked like good movement from Caulker for their first goal, if I'm honest. I thought the penalty looked harsh at the time, but Trollope said he has no complaints with the decision so probably a fair comment from you there.

Haven't seen videos of either incident mind, so may well be wrong on them.
