I also liked Riga's postive attitiude. At the end we were playing 3-2-5 and that 5 included at least 4 recognised centre forwards not just a big lad from the back going up for corners. Not sure yet if you'd class the Estonian guy as a CF. If you do - that's 5 CF's. It's credit to Lundstram, after Perkins went off, that he was able to hold down the midfield and re-supply the front men without much danger of being overun as Blackburn tried to break out.
In fact, Oriol's support of the attacking play down the left made it more a 2-3-5. It was back to Olly's days - go for the point and if we lose 3-1, at least we tried for 2-2. Ince would have shut up shop and taken the 2-1 meekly for fear of having 'his pants pulled down.'
Thought the Blackburn defence was excellent against us. We won't come up against many better units than that this season. |  |
