Blackburn v QPR 3Feb23 1 - 2 FT 22nd/28pts

Would like to have Willock adding to the high press when it is used, and take them on with the ball 🏀

Not a pretty first half from either side. We look very cautious. Need Smyth on for Willock and, if Armstrong is still looking sluggish after that tackle, Frey on for his debut.

I thought we've done well in the first half and played some decent stuff. Armstrong is causing Blackburn plenty of issues but just lacks the composure of a more experienced player. 

Our biggest issue for me is when Begovic decides to play the ball with his feet because he either plays a defender into trouble or it goes out of play. You then see him wanting to blame everyone else for his mistake. Typical nutty goalkeeper.

Smyth, Hodge and Hayden coming on for Dykes, Willock and DB

Hodge makes it 2-0

Armstrong with a lovely ball through to Hodge whose finish was across the goalkeeper into the far corner.

Frey on for Armstrong

Larkeche on for Paal
