Cal Roberts is a nippy little player. Would help if we tried to use the ball more.

 

Honestly, wish we had more presence upfront and kept it more. Think he's shown some nice flashes, but we didn't get him the ball enough in forward areas.

Genuinely impressed with Longstaff, like. He's all legs and doesn't look like he should be able to control a football, but he does it very well. He's looked calm and competent; nice touch, nice passing, physical enough. Looks to be some potential there.

 

The rest have been a variety of average to poor to shameful. Murphy has tried tonight and looked our biggest threat, and his assist was superbly taken. Can't understand how utterly, utterly crap he can be for the rest of a game. Joselu poor, Ritchie appalling, Roberts nowhere near the game, Hayden's done alright, full-backs offering nowt.

You’d not think watching our midfield that it was Longstaff who’s just broken into the first team and Hayden who’s played fairly regularly for the last 2 years.

Agree but Hayden has been terrible. Gives the ball away 4 out of 5 times. End of 2nd half almost all of Blackburn's attacks started from a mistake by Hayden.

I know everyone despises him but Hayden has been absolutely fine.
