Was at the game yesterday was very poor game tbh but I thought we played quite well in a poor game we had some very good chances to win more than 1-2 Blackburn best chance fell to Jordan Rhodes in the 65 minute which was a foul on Hause and smashed wide of the far post there goal was extremely lucky okay carl Ikeme probably could of done better but he did slip from from the first effort that was blocked and struggled to get back up and black to tip it over so felt for him tbh, tbh edo goal he didn't handball it on purpose he stuck his arm to try and get further on the diving header and the it just hit is hand went in he didn't move hand towards to ball his hand was just there if he had his hands where they were and the he full on punched I said ermm Yh okay fair enough but he didn't our first was nicely done tbh we kept the ball quite well okay stears smashed the lad flicked but edo little flick to send benik through was class and the link up play is there and at times our link up play through the game was very good and our possession of the ball was good at times okay it's going to take time to learn this new style but there defiantly something there and will get better over the next couple of weeks I do think tho ojo needs to start on the left on Sunday people thought we was playing we weren't we played 4411 benik played in the number 10 role which he said after the game okay Edwards will come in side but he leaves golbourne 2 against 1 at times were as with sako last season he come in side but then defend 2 against 2 down left and help golbourne out I think that's the one change I'd make I know edo has done fairly well but I think having 2 natural wingers In Henry we'd get forward a lot quicker and the option down left with golbourne can over lap and do what he does best but great 1-2 win and hopefully get another win next week plus will hull playing 442 with clucas and elmohamaed on right with I'm guessing odabojo in a right back I think we're going to need a natural LM

Thanks Matt. I know what you mean about the hand, but it amazes me how much players' hands deflect the ball! I know if it hits my hand it would hardly change course. From Edwards' body language after the goal it seemed he knew he'd cheated one in. But then again the ref has to call it as the ref sees it. We'll probably get one against us sometime.
Appreciate what you say about the formation. With Ojo coming on at the end like that I think Kenny wanted to dip his toe in the water. He could well get a start next week, or at least much more of a game. Pity we have to drop someone to make space. Nice problem to have, though.
