Due 2 our lack of resources in centre midfield cos of illness,retirement,injury etc may be its time 2 give Blake a run here he is strong in tackle and good in the air and centre midfield is his best position, opinions please cos theres no players comin in .

blake isn't a championship footballer, looks out of his depth, can't see him here any longer, league 1 or 2 would be his best

I thought he did very well last night and put a bit of bite back into the midfield. I still think he is a wasted talent and when you think of his performance's for Wales U-21's against England, the waste is almost criminal.

He's got a lot of grit and determination but he does lack the final pass or cross. I saw a few stray balls from him last night which may go with game time but we can't afford to rely on that gamble. I'd keep him until we get better in but as has been said, he's not a Championship footballer. Maybe lower Championship. I hear Mariner rated him at Plymouth and wanted to keep him.

Final pass not good enough, but hard working and gritty. Just what we need at moment-someone with balls!

Some good points there from every 1, personelly i feel a run in the side in his best position at centre midfield will add bite and grittiness thats been missin, have we got any other options with present squad?

Where has Taiwo gone? He could have got some valuable game time last night .

Local boy to me so maybe a bit biased but the guy has never been given a decent run in his preferred midfield position.....give him a run of games and then judge him....personally i think he can cut the mustard at Champ level....if hes given a chance!
