At work so stats and extended highlights for this one. One of those take the points and leg it away wins on the face of it, but I'd say there was some better defending and control in that second half. Blackburn were comfortably the better side early and we struggled to play through them, a few vall balls into Peck on the edge of our own downfall and he was fuming about it, after what must have felt like he was thrown under the bus for their goal. Good finish mind you. But Peck flipped the game almost by himself — a brilliant ball for Cannon who took it very confident and calm. then an even better finish from himself before half-time, touch over the defender then oopa (£) into the bottom corner. The second half was much more about defending the lead than controlling the game, with Cooper and Choudhury (arguably a match winning block off the line) producing massive moments. Gritty response after Norwich, although the lack of sustained control is still very much there.
