Going forward, he’s made some big saves and won us some points but if we’re going to continue with the current system I think we may continue to concede soft goals.
Of course he’s not helped when our backline is indecisive or slow as it was at times today but we did get caught with our pants down far too often and we probably need someone better between the sticks if we’re going to keep going.
I feel bad saying that though as he’s had some brilliant moments. |  | | |  |

Needs worse days than today to be dropped for me. That was just a breathless game that we did amazingly to win. Never change a winning team. |  | | |

You don't feel bad saying that though, do you? You were just itching for a negative. Which of the 3 goals should he have stopped? |  | | |

Made some really good saves among his less convincing moments. I’ve always said Walton comes back in and I’m steadfast in that but credit where it’s due, Hladky has more than played his part in this run and good on him. |  | | |

Thing though is if you play with your feet like Hladky does, you're always going to have that risk. With Walton we wouldn't be playing it out so much the way we do with Hladky, and whilst it does have risks, it also allows us to create things we otherwise wouldn't. |  |

In my view, Walton comes and claims that cross that led to the second goal. He commands his area far better than Hladky, although Vaz made a worldy of a save in that second half. |  |

I thought Hladky would claim that too, looked to me like the defence were expecting him too. I thought he had an erratic day today, some good saves, got down to some low crosses really qucikly, but his passing today was not good, put us in trouble more than once and ended up going long a lot more than we are used to, probably having lost a bit of confidence in his short game. |  |

Walton has been in goal for the last 2 seasons where we've consistently played out from the back. His distribution last season was excellent. |  |

If we watched what was happening in the game, you'd probably understand why he was going long so often. Blackburn played man for man and pressed us really high up the pitch which meant the only out balls were to Burns or up to Hirst.
Probably also why he gave the ball away more today than before, Blackburn were just ultra aggressive with the press. |  |

He is performing exceptionally well as a stand in and exceeding all expectations, a lot of people saying this week that the shirt it is his to lose.
Walton comes back in for me as it stands, but certainly feel assured with Hladky standing in, whereas I was worried preseason |  |

I think that’s definitely right, and true of the approach we take more generally. Playing out from the back is inherently braver and comes with more risk, encouraging their high press but giving us more space to play once we break the first line. We can’t really laud it when it works and then resent it when it doesn’t. By and large we’ve had significantly more joy and success than downside. | | | |

The narrative around Walton not being great with his feet is a strange one which seems to have developed mainly by people repeating it on here.

He's decent, but no question Hladky is better with his feet. | |

As the bloke in Front of me said today, the team is playing out from the back as McKenna had asked them to.
Blackburn were bloody quick and this slowly slowly tippy tappy out from the back will in some games be fraught with danger . Blackburn had identified that we try to beat the press by the short forward pass directly in front of our goal. Bloody risky in my book but Blackburn looked for that pass and pounced. We’re too slow in bring the ball out in my view. There’s always a big risk in trying to entice the press forwards onto you then waiting until the very last second to pass
It : it’s essentially Russian Roulette; at some point you’re going to get caught out. |  |

A big risk that's never failed for us. That's not a 'big risk' by any definition. It's measured and managed and part our current success.
Let's keep trusting the guys delivering the goods eh? |  |

Couple of bad mistakes at the start, but a massive 2-point-saving save near the end. Swings and seesaws innit. It’s the Championship after all, so nobody’s going to be perfect. |  |

Another hot take. Tactics that are the cornerstone of our success are actually "slowly tippy tappy" and "Russian roulette". Genuinely don't know what some fans think they're watching half the time. [Post edited 23 Sep 2023 20:20]

No tactic or approach is without risk.
This post is very much along the lines of your 'lazy' comment re. Burns. Wholly incorrect. |  |

What a day today was, incredible entertainment yet again and another vital win. Feels a shame to have a little moan but i'm going to anyway.
I was never as down on him as others were at his lowest and I'm not as up on him as others are now. I think he's a decent deputy, but Walton is a clear and obvious number one. Hladky reminds me a lot of Heurelho Gomes when at Spurs. Incredibly erratic, capable of moments of brilliance when all hope looks lost, but wildly unpredictable for things that look simple.
I like the bloke and he's kept us in the game at times today and for every one of the other six wins. He's done his job and also saved the blushes of the defence on more than one occasion. He's also consistently causing us problems out of nothing.
Three times today a better forward would have punished him for such a lack of concentration. He's had one or two of those every game he's played. We've got away with it, but he needs to engage his brain a bit more in those moments before I actually have some sort of medical emergency. | |

It's neither tippy-tappy or russian roulette, it's a tactic we've used for a couple of years nearly - how many times has it resulted in a goal against and how many times have we broken the lines and created space, and scored because of it? | | | |

Completely disagree with this.
We’ve got a bit of a problem because Hladky suits our overall game better than Walton does IMO | | | |

Hladky is better but "worlds apart" is going too far. Walton is better at doing the main jobs you want a keeper to do. He was more than adequate with the ball at his feet last season.
