Poor game to watch tonight. Bore draw from two teams who both looked happy to take a point.
Maybe we deserved to win as we had better chances and probably should've had a penalty. But it wasn't an easy watch.
On paper, a draw away at Blackburn is decent. The league position, likewise.
But I'd be lying if I didn't think we were capable of more...
I'm struggling to understand some of Corberan's decisions at the moment. I thought Racic was one of our better players on Saturday, so why was he dropped?
Meanwhile the likes of Grady, who was poor for consecutive games, keeps his place...
We've seen Corberan drop our better players for the sake of "rotation" already this season and it's bitten us on the ass. He dropped Mowatt against Sheffield Wednesday and we lost. He dropped Fellows right in the middle of his hot streak against Boro and we lost...
Fellows hasn't looked the same player since...
Surely we need Racic and Mowatt to have a run of games together so they can forge a proper partnership. They have to be our first choice duo in the middle of the park with Molumby and Diakite as back up. Despite that, they're not getting a run of games together. It's constant chopping and changing.
Mikey Johnston can't get a look in, despite being one of the best players in the Championship last season. I appreciate he was really poor against Millwall on the one occasion Corberan started him and Grant has done enough to keep that slot on the left. But in games like tonight when Grant and Fellows are non-existent, Mikey has to be introduced earlier. When he came on tonight, he was the one player who looked like he actually wanted to go forward and create, but it was too little too late. We know what he can do, we know he can change games, so he has to be given a chance. We've seen more than enough of John Swift to know he's not the player when you need a bit of magic to open the game up, Mikey is.
I believe Corberan has done a great job to date. If you look back at my posts historically, he was my choice for the role. I think he knows a player when he sees one. But the job he's done historically does not make him immune from criticism. I don't feel like we'll get a good run of form together until Corberan finds his best XI and sticks with it.
