You missed Bentley today

Premier League Blackburn Rovers
by blueJ2 (U1754318) 09 December 2007
comment on the article

Two fairly evenly balanced teams today, but you missed Bentley as your final ball was lacking. For all your possession you weren't able to create enough openings. I know Cruz had a good chance, and Tugay forced a good save with his shot from outside the area, but on the whole you missed that cutting edge that Bentley provides. What do you think?

Not really big problems - the big plus is the defence. Not just in this game but we have conceded 5 away all season (and that includes 3 in 1 game). Given the players we have out injured he has every right to be satisfied with the performance.
A lot of the time a team plays badly because of how the opposition plays. Chelsea last week and you yesterday looked to be under par - Coincidence? Probably not.

You didn't stop us playing we did that all by ourselves & like I said Rovers playing to their potential would have had you beat by half time.

You weren't good you just happened to not be as bad as we were.

i am not saying we were necessarily good...just better on the day which is all that counts. And naturally if we had played to our potential, we would have had it all sewn up 5 minutes before half time smiley

A desperatley disappointing game from both teams i'm just glad I didn't have a 500 mile round trip as well.

Not a disappointing display at all from the Hammers!

It bodes well that we won without even reaching third gear.

However had we been on top form it really could (and should) have been three or four!

Blackburn these days is almost a guaranteed 6 points every year for us!

Splendid!

And if we'd been in top form you would have had trouble getiing out of your own half. Anyway it's gone now, we'll move on & thrash Wigan next week.ok

Two defeats in three. It doesn't really look very good, does it?

I think you might lose against Wigan.

Dean Ashton is an amazing striker!
top quality, although he did mess up a sitter late on. Solano always looked as if he was afraid to get stuck into challenges, so i cant wait for faubert, dyer and ljungberg are back.
Highlight of the match has to be Robert Greens save from Tugay! what a stop. He should be england number 1! i really dont know why he hasnt had a call up yet
