Man of the Match - Blackburn

... with instructions to run at the defence at every opportunity.

I think Tim Ream's performances have been largely unsung - to make a step up of this nature and make you say 'Zat who?' in such a short time and getting up to create a goal on occasion, is quite remarkable I think. He is still finding his feet and I expect him to get better, but good on the lad so far.

Yes, Ream seems to have slotted into the team remarkably quickly. He deserves credit for this and Coyle deserves credit for finding him and actually playing him and Miyaichi.

I think Coyle brought Klasnic on to pose a goal threat. It didn't really work but would Sordell have been any more effective? Difficult to say having seen so little of him.

I didn't think there was anything between Ryo and Wheater, no doubt Wheater will win, because of his goals, but I just love Ryo!

You're right it was Ryo by a mile.

It's early days with Ryo.

One thing I'm quite confident about is that he's Bolton quality at this moment in time, and not Arsenal quality.

Meaning if we stay up, we should have a good chance of bringing him back.

He's not the finished product - he's still learning, but he'll more than do for us.

I don't necessarily disagree but thats what people said about Wilshere and Sturridge.

I think Ryo is more "raw" than the other two but he could definitely contribute to a better team that ours IMO.

I'd have voted for him if he hadn't denied us that nailed on penalty when Wheater was manhandled in the box.
Are you Guy Mowbray by any chance? He is a reknowned Bolton Hater and yet again MOTD tried to give the impression that Rovers deserved a draw. They even emphasised the Rovers penalty claim but edited out ours which was equally valid. Typical.
Hope you're not - Guy Mowbray is a twat.

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

If he took a knock then fair enough but he always seems to struggle after about 70-75 minutes, he puts a lot of effort in but are his fitness levels up to scratch if he can't last 90minutes.

Wheater, Petrov and Myachi were a cut above. Wheater with two goals gets my MOM. The more I watch Myachi the more I like what I see. He is not afraid to take players on and has decent pace.
