Good point, but I wish Jimmy had the audacity to bring on our two quick wingers when Blackburn made the changes to chuck everything at the game.
On a different note, Richards bags two.
Excellent point, but totally agree with this. Had jimmy bought a attacking winger on at the time Blackburn made their changes we might just have 3 points tonight. It would have been a risk for sure tho

I think it's a bit harsh to criticise JFH on the back of a very respectable point against a team who haven't lost at home since September. As someone said a while back, today was a free hit and we now have a point we didn't expect to have at the start of the day.
Still, it does show the progress we've made in January if we're complaining about not beating the team second place in the table away from home!

Didn't really expect anything so a point is a bonus. Keeps the unbeaten run going but we're not out of the woods yet especially if those below us win their games in hand.
Next 3 games vital as all very winable on paper.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't? Last week Jimmy was cristicised precisely for bringing them on and losing "shape" and defensive capability. I think he got it right today in bringing on Powell first as he's potentially a better defender, though he didn't have a great game to be honest.
Powell has to up his work rate....no good losing the ball in a good position and then trotting back behind their player without an attempt to win the ball back. Workrate in general is a lot better, can’t see what Hoskins is doing in that team any more though! As the balls were flying across our box I was happy to take a point, but having JJ to score first and a 2-1 win which would have netted me a grand and a half I was desperate to see is attacking more rather than defending the point!! A good day out, great support, decent ground and nice pies....now time for the long train trip back!

Our next 3.
Rochdale have just managed to draw at Millwall in the FA Cup, Wimbledon have just thrashed Bradford 4-0 away and Gillingham are unbeaten in 6. Just goes to show there are no #easygamestocome.

We had to get the ball to who ever was there. Regrettably Powell was no good but he slotted into defensive duties. I would say that JFH got it right in not selecting an attacking wide player. Incidentally fort O’Donnell gave since Smith; the best display of time wasting seen this season. #lovedit

Just seen the goals on SSN, think Poole maybe getting a rollicking, got caught under the ball then went to kick it, when a back header may have been the better option. Probably why we were linked with that Heneghen fella. Still, a cracking result.

A great battling performance, but actually feel slightly disappointed we did not take all three points.
Re O'Donnell's time wasting the biggest compliment was Blackburn supporters were comparing it to Bunny's for them against Liverpool a few seasons back 🙂

Team in relegation battle wastes time away at club 2nd in the league, Hardly a f***ing shock. Are they all stupid in Blackburn?

A good day out and a great battling point, pity Poole blazed over, that really was a good chance. It was a long last 20mins, pity we couldn't have got forward more, but they were coming at us wave after wave , although they didn't threaten that much in front of goal. We are now starting to look a good team , what a difference a month makes.

Looks like Blackburn will have to wait until the next game to beat someone 5,6 or 7-0. Hope the shrews beat them to 2nd place and they loose in the play offs.

The amount of arrogance on their forum was unbelievable , seems they might have been taken down a peg.

My unqualified point of view is that if Blackburn go for broke, like they decided to with their 57th minute substitutions, then we have an opportunity to counter without committing bodies forward, through the speed of HP or GA. Hoskins and Powell's defending isn't a noticeable quality, nor can they pick up the ball in their own half and beat multiple players with speed and skill. I think it was a long time to hold out for with minimal attacking threat and we just scraped it. Not really criticisms, just talking points. I believe Hasslebank has weathered a few storms and done a great job through January.
