Man of the Match - Blackburn

Crucial win (pity Liverpool lost to Wigan - and to QPR the game before that too!).

Who was the big man in the biggest of games so far this season for you though?

Hate to be negative, but the only player that didn't do a good job was Pratley. In fact, he was shocking by any standards, let alone in a team where everybody played their part.

Wheater, got to be

Wheats was a giant at the back and at the front for that matter.

My other 2 votes were for NRC and Petrov who delivered some fucking killer balls into the box.

Seems Wheater is taking over from Cahill in more than one way. Nice to see.

I somehow managed to forget Wheater, even though he was easily the best on the pitch.

Been massively disappointed with him so far. He looked awesome earlier in the season but has gotten clumsier and less effective by the week!

Was brilliant today though.

Bogdan for me I like how he catches every ball.

The ref was your man of the match.

Miyiachi for me. Looked a class above for the whole game, and really the only person who did anything positive.

Some cracking battling performances elsewhere without that touch of class.

Weats, NRC, Ricketts.

I like Prats wish people would lay off him.

Wheater obviously and Petrov and Miyaichi for their wing play. Pity other players can't head as well as Wheater.

Wheater, Ream and Bogdan for me. Honourable mention to Petrov, Mr. Miyagi and Mr. Marriner - that incident looked like a penalty to me. Great to see the ball being crossed into the box regularly and with menace!

Petrov. He was involved in everything that went right for us.

I must admit I haven't been a lover of Myachi since we got him but yesterday he looked decent, I would like him to do a few more of them runs where he cuts inside and has a shot more often.

I think we'd be a lot better off at this moment in time had we taken Myaichi at the start of the season.

He gives us miles more than Eagles. He's faster, heavier, more skilful and plays like he gives a shit.

Only used one on Wheater, woops, but my other two are Ryo - same reasons as everyone else and Coyle - picked the right team, 4-5-1 was needed against a team with such good attacking power. Glad he didnt give in to the pressure and play Klasnic (I know Ngog wasnt great but he held it up and made some passes, team player, good man to get the ball to up front, and unlike Davies he doesn't give away a load of freekicks, Klasnic did nothing when he came on). And for the way he has handled everything leading up to the game. Always thought Coyle was the right man, never thought he would take us down unless there was some sort of disaster in our squad, and hopefully we will have something to celebrate in 9 games time

I don't know what he was thinking bringing Klasnic on. We needed to defend goals not score them, so there was no sense in it. Blackburn found it a lot easier to get the ball deep into the Bolton half from the minute he came on, it's a change that could have cost us dearly and let's face it this is basic tactical sense.

No problems with the starting line up but Coyle doesn't get my vote because of that substitution.

Yeh I see what you mean, I guess its all a bit of luck. I reckon he brought him on since we were making good chances just not finishing them and 3-1 would have sealed it up, but he didn't get the goal, and as is always the case with Klasnic, if he doesn't socre hes just a massive burden.

Ryo has been absolutely fantastic for us. I don't know how you can't have been impressed.

With regards to his runs where he cuts inside, it's much more difficult for him to do that since we switched him to the right flank.

Ngog clearly took a heavy knock on about 70 minutes. He received treatment for it.

I would have taken N'Gog off sooner than he did, just not for Klasnic (or Davies for that matter).

I would have given Sordell 20 minutes.
