Blackburn Rovers - Nottingham Forest

Cracking game, we were wasteful on the ball at times and played on the edge a little too much for my liking.

I did have one gripe. Why didn’t Surridge take the penalty? He is yet to get off the mark and a goal could do him the world of good, especially given his recent experience at Stoke. Don’t get me wrong, it was a cracking finish from Brennan, it just surprised me.

On to Stoke.

It’s another “must win” for me.

Need some more points on the board before the Bournemouth game.

Being slightly critical both Davis and Surridge whilst looking impressive are snatching at goal chances. We are getting results but there will be games when we need a striker to keep their cool and pinch the half chance that Grabs is so good at converting.

seniority and after seeing Johnson take a penalty I think he should take them all.

The side has an air about it now of a promotion side. And like any promotion side we're getting some luck. I just cant believe how good we are.

Brennan’s finishing wasn’t great either.

Sky just showed the table with us in 10th - muppets, commentary was terrible too.

Well done lads, used some luck up I feel but great result.

Yep, made the red card seem much more controversial than it was in reality. Gabion was annoying last time we had him too

Didnt say he wasnt mine too. But he wasted a really good chance too, as I said not a criticism but its an element of his game he could improve.

That was a real battle, Blackburn showed why they are 2nd but Forest showed why they are better. Blackburn tried to bully and dominate but they comprehensively lost that battle. Well done to the lads, they would not be intimidated and gave as good as they got.
There were some lapses in concentration and sloppy balls ala Cardiff but they still held.
Surridge is keen to impress and seems desperate to score, he's only made his 2nd sub appearance and needs to chill a bit.
He won the penalty which put us all at ease, scoring goals is not his only job.
Davis, Garner, Yates, Colback put in another shift.
The is something about Xande that I like - I suspect he is going to come good.

Orhhh yes.  Forest have done it.  A battling performance!!!  

I felt sick with nerves with the 0-1.  For the 1st time this season, it felt like something Herculean was on the line.  A big psi-op on Blackburn.  They got really wound up by Forest.  We took them apart mentally.

Could Forest hang on?  Have the courage of their convictions?  Stick to Cooper's principles and turn over 2nd?  CAN THEY BEAT A TOP SIX CLUB?!

YES THEY CAN!!!
