Grown into the game after a ropey opening. Deserve our lead.
I have to say, I didn’t have Gillesphey down as one of NJ’s game changers but he has been. His distribution from the back has helped us bypass their pressing in midfield and he’s been playing with the bit between his teeth. Plus the goal, obviously.
Looking a bit more likely to grab a second too. Would be lovely if Kelman can finally have one fall for him, he’s working very hard and having a little bit of joy with some hold up a link play despite being double marked by a couple big lumps.
Bell sublime, Bree quality, loyd needs to be careful on a yellow.
I trust Jones will not do anything silly but that doesn't stop my feelings of lack of trust for this ref and of course the Blackburn players who will be begging for a second yellow against Jones.
Kelman working very hard, feeding off scraps. Lloyd needs to be careful, ref useless and can see him giving out another card to Lloyd. Carey having another good game, Bree looks class. TC not really at it. Need to score the next goal.
Coventry and Doc have been excellent Wonder if Jones will stay on after picking up a yellow? That forward is always on the turn and one more clip could see him off. Ramsay maybe to replace?
It's still early days but when Bree came on for his debut a couple of weeks back I knew after a very short time he looks like a great addition to the team. Hoping he continues to prove me right on my initial assessment.
The Edwards injury was almost like the tactical Goalkeeper injury, I dont know if Nathan had an opportunity to talk to the squad during the first or second stoppage involving him.
But up until that point Blackburn did look the stronger side (I say that loosely), and were in control of proceedings... We on the other hand looked a bit like we were having to just keep things tight.
One of those occasions though, like what we've seen many times under Nathan, where we've weathered the storm, and almost used it to work out the opposition. As since we've not really dominated, but we've been well deserved of the goal, and have restricted Blackburn to very little.
Definitely no team talk during the first Edwards stoppage as we were lined up to defend a corner.
I don't think there was time during the second either, Josh went down and Macca immediately got ready.

Great pressure from Campbell who stops their Defender from allowing the ball from going for a GK, his clearance as a result goes straight to a Charlton player and the pressure remains in their half

Goals win games, Defences win you promotion / titles
Lets hope we can get Charlie on scoresheet in second.
Bree looks some player. Amazing how he has come from nowhere to suddenly be a key player.
I fear Jones will do well to stay on for another 45 mins.
Great to see Macca back. I've missed his long diagonal balls. Not to mention his goals!
Get a second goal and we will be OK. If we don't, I fear another Millwall could occur.
Tc and Kelman are not in the game. The defence is making mistakes and the midfield hanging on.
Jones bound to rip em a new one.
Expect Tanto and Miles on soon.
Hopefully Lloyd can avoid a red from this idiot ref.

Kelman has tried hard but sorry to say just doesn't look like scoring.

We look a bit ropey at the back in possession.

Very disappointed it's a baseball-type affair and not a Northern flat cap.
Sidnei Tavares is on for Ryan Alebiosu
