Absolutely battered that second half, but we wasted a couple of decent out balls when the rare occasion we were able to break.
It feels far more disappointing because of the timing, but if they’d scored earlier and we’d still hung on, we’d be thinking what a great point.
Composure remains a problem for us, but you certainly can’t fault the effort these lads are putting in just now.
Thought Blackburn were one of the best sides at the JSS this season, they’ll be scratching their heads wondering how on earth it was only 2-2 and it took them until injury time to level up.
3 tough away games now, let’s hope we can scramble 3-4 points from those, obviously making sure we get something from Cardiff.

Just hope that late goal doesn't knock confidence. They gave everything today, Vaclik with some very good saves (though he'll be very disappointed with the equaliser), and the amount of times Blackburn either looked like they were going to shoot or actually score but we got our bodies in the way was exactly what was missing for the majority of the season. A 4 point gap before the 3pm games would've been a massive boost and really put pressure on those behind us. Hopefully results go our way today and we can pick up at least 3 points from the next 2 games, as more or less everyone else then plays another 2 games before we play again against Cardiff. When you say he'd be very disappointed with the 2nd you mean because it went in? Because it was a fantastic save from a few yards out and his defence let him down. Not a chance he's even remotely at fault for it. |

Amazing point. People saying we had the first half. To me they outplayed us the entire game.
The number of balls they slipped through only for us to put in a last ditch tackle was mind boggling.
I'm happy with the point, but my God did we half make it difficult for ourselves by deciding to defend deep the whole second half.
Surely there comes a point where we have to put our foot on the ball and play a bit. If only to relieve some pressure.

They are superb at running off the ball/playing through the lines, was disappointed we couldn’t play them off side a bit more but their timing is very good. |

He did pull off a few very very good saves though |

They were very good, a bonus point that IMO.
4 points over Easter is excellent from 2 difficult fixtures.
We won’t play a better team than Blackburn now til the end of the season (I’ve a feeling sheff Utd will be on the beach when we play them) so I’d like to think we can get over the line from this position.
Seemed impossible a month ago!

Very, very fortunate today. 1 point better than none. NW still weaving his magic. But a word on Blackburn I thought they looked as good as anybody we have played at home this season. They were up for it from the first minute to the 95 th. I hope our next opponents don’t show that much determination and no little skill.
Only one gripe really: Scott High why was he sent on and not REG? I am not convinced about High at all.

We did well to get a point today. Even considering we were 2-0 up.
Our defensive style has served us well recently, but even a team as well organised as a Warnock one is going to be undone when they are facing 81% possession and 21 shots.
Blackburn were very good today, but our inability to keep hold of the ball (only 43% passing accuracy) meant we were undone by shear weight of pressure. We didn't ask enough questions of Blackburn's defence and they deservedly drew the game.
On the face of it, it looks like two points dropped, but having watched the match live, it was definitely one gained.
Now let's see what happens elsewhere to see how valuable a point it is.

He did pull off a few very very good saves though No chance. He's done unbelievably well to get down to the ball to keep it out. Very good reactions. Helik switched off, lost his man, misread the flight and then let another man run off him, and Lees was slow to react to get across. That's where the blame should lie, along with whoever was out wide not getting close enough to stop the cross in the first place. |

Never understood why we let teams attack their away fans in the second half, gave them such a huge momentum boost imo. Let them attack the family stand in the second 45!

Anyone else thing the ref bottled sending off their 17.
Had already been booked for pulling back and did it again. Ref didn't even give a foul as he knew he'd have to give him a 2nd yellow!

Hit and miss game, had a feeling at half time they would come back, the players looked tired, surprise warnock didn’t change anything until 80th+ , kasumu unreal and vaclik again superb , only thing with vaclik must of done better with the second goal , straight at him, I do think there is a small chance we can go down but we move on to Swansea

Completely agree. He was going to blow then saw who it was so played on. Also, was Kasumu given offside from his own pass when he chased down the keeper in the first half? |

No Ward was as he shoulder barged their defender. When the ball was in playing distance Therefore he became active and offside. |

Just got back. They are a damn good side. They found space all over the pitch. Our keeper had his best game for us. It was heroic for the lads to keep digging in right to the end after doing the same 3 days ago. Shame we couldn’t hold out but they looked knackered at the end. Good point. Unbeaten in 5. Could go to the wire. I still feel so much more positive than I have all season.

They lost their last game, at home....odds on they'll get a result this time. And I can't see Town winning 4 on the bounce (3 was a bloody miracle!). Draw. Just a couple of minutes from being wrong....if only..... |

I thought the ref had a good game but he did bottle that. There will not be a more obvious second yellow this season. Poor from him. |

Blackburn looked excellent.
Some of the last ditch defending from our defence and keeper was simply outstanding.
They must be cream crackers.

Ball boys are almost always fans of the home team. They're going to do that. We can call ourselves unlucky because of the timing of the equaliser. We can call ourselves lucky because we got a point when Blackburn were the better side Or we can go back to unlucky because they could easily have been down to 9 men. Either way though, stonewall red cards for Carter and Dolan. |

Reckon they'll win the playoffs I don't think they'll even get in them. They played against a team who let them have the ball for 90mins and attack at will. Those tactics today would've made anyone look good. I agree they're no great shakes |
