Blackburn Rovers - Nottingham Forest

You can only beat what's in front of you and I saw plenty of positives.

The positive attitude was very pleasing. We looked right on it from the get go.

Yep a under strength Blackburn put a performance full of energy and positive play. Will obviously be different at Man Utd but couldn't really ask for more on first game back after 6 weeks. All the WC players looked up for it.

Was pulling my hair out with Brennan's selfish play at times but he had a decent game overall.

Taiwo goal.....

Some really good movement from our forward player's yesterday and signs that Jonno is getting back to his best. He looks so much better down the right than when he plays central.

Thought the front 3 all did well today. Awoniyi a little frustrating at times, feel he sometimes takes too long on the ball when in and around the box. However, his movement, work rate and strength are all very useful. Johnson had his best game for a while, possibly could have passed on a couple of occasions instead of shooting. Lingard very good, nice touches, movements and work rate.
A few negatives, I thought Mangala was poor, first time I've not been impressed him with. And I thought Worrall had a poor game as well. Passing wasn't great and makes some silly tackles when he doesn't need to.
