That was squeaky but 3 points in the bag and back to winning ways. |
And fist pumps from Duff to the supporters, the good times are back. |  | | |

Started very poorly, but grew and took over, should have had a couple more goals and the last 20mins or so would have been a lot less stressful. |  | | |

Me too, can't handle Wyndham sorry |
For an ex-pro he doesn’t half spout some cr@p!
However, one thing he did say which I’ve been screaming about the last few games or longer is that we need to close them down and stop them getting crosses in. We give opponents far too much space especially down the wings. |  |

Looks like but to be fair to Blackburn ,losing at home they were bound to have their chances , good result away again though ,personally I thought bringing on Fulton that early was a mistake |
Often I criticise Duff for his substitutions but I thought he got it spot on today. All about opinions. | | | |

Nail biting edge of seat win, Ospreys earlier was the same, no wonder I drink on a Saturday, although not had one yet  |  |

Russell Martin is back, FME's
Hanging on here, through putting pressure on ourselves and a manager who is afraid to take the risk of going and try to score again. [Post edited 28 Oct 2023 17:02]

I thought that. We sat back for a 1-0 too early IMO. They probably should have equalised with that header straight at Rushworth.
Low quality game, but whatever. Win on the road is a win on the road. | | | |

Great win, could have won by more, blackburn could have scored but they didn't, rode our luck a bit but how many times have we been unlucky?
Thought our back 4 were immense being under pressure for long periods, Yates did very well chasing and harrying, contrary to what's being said about his runs, they were very intelligent, it's just the player on the ball didn't see his runs.
Paterson and Patino worked really well together and a special mention to jamal, he was everywhere, his first touch was good and he caused problems all day.
So glad not to see fulton and grimes start 😉 |  | | |

Good result against a team who have won their last three and were at home, should have scored again to kill the game off though but overall i can't grumble or rather i won't haha |  | | |

Absolutely and some relief
Should have been more as Blackburn were worse than thought .
Back four looked sound enough and Ashby improved .
All in all, something to make us happy and unite .  | |

Hard fought & gritty win making up for the disappointment after the Watford match. Our first win up there since 1971 apparently. Good to see us being hard to beat on the road since the Cardiff debacle. Great finish by Cullen, both defences poor, not sure how there was only one goal scored but we’ll take that. Next 4 games are tough even by Championship standards Sunderland, Ipswich, Hull, Leeds |  | | |

I’m surprised at the quality this season. If anything it’s worse than last.
Agree on Ashby. He’s still going to do well to keep Key in the bench, but he was one of our best today | | | |

I can’t see how a goalkeeper can continue to simply boot the ball out of play and effectively give the ball to opponents
However, he makes amends and his presence is comforting to his defenders.
Would have liked to see Walsh. One on instead of Fulton who s a walking card . He’s lost it really .
With Cabango back,we are ok for defenders . It’s just our lacking in other areas but not a day to be churlish . Well done lads . | |

I think we can forgive Rushworth those little mistakes every now and then on the balance of his season so far. He had two Woodmanesque goal kicks and a Fisher moment overplaying it late on, which he did manage to half recover from.
I can completely understand going negative when we’re 1-0 up away. The Fulton substitution was supposed to shore us up, but it just took away an outlet and put us under more pressure.
As you say though. We won, that’s what matters | | | |

Yeah.
Overall,he has been superb .
More than anything,he looks like a goalkeeper and acts like one by taking charge. | |

Did anyone notice Duff telling Tomasson to F off at the end after they shook hands? I don't know what happened, I assume he was moaning about something. |  | | |

Our defence was not poor I can assure you as if it was we would have lost that game. | | | |
