Default Sam blames defence for Blackburn draw

http://www.teamtalk.com/teamtalk/New...667258,00.html


Everyone else blames Sam, and with good reason too. How stupid do you have to be to wave your team back to defend when the opposition are down to 10 men and you have a history of conceeding late goals for that very reason?

Question

What was the deal with added time? The BBc ticker had the goal at the 5th minute. Was there that much added on. This is a real bad sign, giving up two points so late in a game. Relegation will be a possibility if they keep doing that.

Maybe there was a lot of time added for due to a big player protest after Reid's red card.

What did Reid get sent off for, and did he deserve it ?, I've not seen the highlights.

You're right, It was for the commotion after Reid's card, the game took a while to get started again. IMO he did deserve to go.

Sam hasn't learned the lessons from last year. Sitting back and trying to defend for 45 minutes does not work, especially when you're defence is not that great. We have a load of good midfielders and should have packed that area and choked the game. Instead Sam decides to bring everyone back to the 18 yard box, it's a very strange tactic. Blackburn were given 80% of their chances in the last 5 minutes, I think that sums it up really.
