Duncan Barkes

And whatever it was he said, it worked.

It worked big time because that second half performance, you know, crowned off by those two fantastic goals.

I mean, copybook goals, match of the day goals.

They really were, was really hopeful for us.

And if we can keep it up, anything like that.

When we go to Derby and indeed through towards January and the window and then the rest of the season, then of course we're going to be safe.

There are no easy games in the Championship, but then we're good enough to make one or two teams or three or four teams look ordinary or even less than ordinary.

And that's what we did to Blackburn, frankly.

They weren't very good.

They squandered so many passes.

They kind of got stuck in, but not in a valuable way.

They were physical.

The referee had a great game, letting everything go if he could, when he could, and that benefited both sides in the end.

50-50 if you do that.

And the game got some momentum, although there was an awful lot of bagatelle being played around the centre circle.

But that's modern football with players being so fit and everybody pressing.

So ping pong, ping pong.

You know, an ownership of the ball is being traded on a one-pass basis.

It's not pretty to watch, but it's committed, it's industrious, it's muscular, it's sweaty, and occasionally it's skillful, and it seems as though we don't mind, especially with a scoreline like that.

Individual players all had a great game.
