Bringing up the Fulham game is appropriate because we lost that one due to a tactical mishap and not dealing with what the opposition had against us. Blackburn's big chances tonight all came in the first half. We addressed it this time, unlike the last league game, nullified the major threats, and won. They didn't really hassle us in the second half, in spite of all their attempts at goal - i never really thought we were going to concede. Modeste had a decent chance when Coloccini slipped, and Formica got a lucky break after a shot-cum-through ball fell to him. But that was it really.
We weren't very good but were worth the three points if only for the fact we read the context of the game well, unlike in previous weeks.
Very generous. We defended well enough, but it was clearly a robbery.
