[BBC] We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's match between Blackburn Rovers and Middlesbrough. Here are some of your comments: Blackburn Rovers fans Malcolm: Tentative start by Rovers, and as Tony predicted, they play a possession-based game. Unfortunate to concede such an early goal. It caught the defence flat-footed, especially Toth. He would normally have saved it. C'est la vie. I did think they "grasped the nettle" and our big guns stepped up when it mattered.
I thought the defence was magnificent after the setback. That gives me hope. We are scoring goals again! Joyous feeling. Mike: I am delighted, as a fan for over 70 years. We just need cover for key players, surely worth the investment. We must trust Mowbray, who has the experience. I believe with three or four cover players we could shock the pundits and finish eighth. Paul: Good signs to defend like that against such a strong Middlesbrough team.
C'mon lads! [Getty Images] Middlesbrough fans Malcolm: "Bump in the road. " Big club, big ambitions, quality players, strong fanbase. Several players caught my eye. They will be there contending at the business end of the season. Erico: Same as the back third of last season, Boro were facing a defensive team hitting on the break, and we were outmuscled once again. Burst my bubble really early this season. Steven: Same old Boro. Possession, shots off target, soft defence.
