First game of the season for me.
Their first goal was a joke, we were caught passing the ball across our box again and the Blackburn player just passed it into the net. But Phillips did well for his goal, Livermore placed his shot from a great lay-off from Pereira, and then Diangana flicked the ball past the full-back and finished with a lovely chip. But then, oh dear, another soft goal.
I understand that hoofing the ball from defence stands to give the opposition the ball, but this passing in and just outside the box with forwards bearing down has got to stop. I seriously wonder whether Sam Johnstone is good enough for this division, but the back four leave him horribly exposed with their kamikaze passing in front of goal.
There’s no question we can score goals, and oh! For Dwight Gayle instead of Austin... but our defence frightens me to death.
Great to see Tony Mowbray back at The Hawthorns.
