Kelman's performance was positively commented on by Tony Cascarino in the Times yesterday.
"Charlie Kelman, the striker on loan from Queens Park Rangers, was a real throwback. He made City’s defenders work for absolutely everything, won duels, ran channels and, on another day, might have capped his performance with a goal."
My immediate thought was Rodney as he is, in my opinion, the best I’ve sever seen in the hoops. Having considered it for a while I changed my mind because he was never a luxury player. Anyone who averages a goal every other game isn’t a luxury.
So Adel or Stan? Stan worked hard almost every match and so, on the strictest definition of luxury it has to be Adel. How lucky are we to have had these three?
The thing we don’t know is whether when Spurs released Morgan did they just cast him aside or did they put him in contact with us with a recommendation. If it’s the latter then it’s clearly a benefit of that relationship.
Initially I thought the ref was doing ok, letting the game flow and not over-reffing it but as the match went on he got worse and worse and to my mind his last 30 minutes (particularly because of his inconsistency) was one of the worst I've seen since Stroud was poncing around. I'd be happy to never see him again.
Wasn't why we lost but that doesn't mean he wasn't very ess, haitch, one, tee.
Illy did just fine. Maybe not reaching his highest standards of recent times but he's still one of the first names on the teamsheet.
Last night they were doubling up on him every time, sometimes with a third nearby as a backup. Saito didn't get that treatment so was able to be more of an impact. We should have taken better advantage of Illy pulling defenders towards him than we did.
At the end of November, Blackburn were in 6th place with 28 points and we were 23rd with 14. 10 matches later they are now in 5th with 42 points and we are 12th with 35.
Somehow this squad has halved the points gap. If the points trajectory continues then yes it is a promotion squad.
It’s been done by others before but never by us and I can’t imagine it happening but it’s more fun to consider it than continue worrying about being dead and buried.
As you say though, we will now fail to win any of the next 6 matches.
