Karanka on #bcfc striker search, “The market is in a strange situation this year, and I think the more we wait the better the player we can bring.”

Final reflection on #BCFC today - it really summed up the season so far. Utter commitment. Fighting as a united team. Executing their plans. Creating chances. Strikers giving visiting defenders a torrid time. Players and fans together and loving it. Defying the odds again. 👌

Lots to admire about John Eustace’s #bcfc again today - organised, committed, together and enough threat to keep teams wary. Stood up for themselves when things got a bit tasty second half.

John Eustace confirms that @BCFC goalkeeper Neil Etheridge reported being racially abused late in the game at Ewood Park. The match officials were made aware of the incident at the time.

Can’t fault that #bcfc performance - controlled the Boro threat in the second half. Best MSJ showing, Dean and Friend immense, so much better in possession. Timely.

Lee Bowyer pleased with the commitment and resilience shown by #bcfc to earn a point with a patched up side. The club will appeal Ryan Woods’ red card. Praised Matija Sarkic after his ninth clean sheet in 19 starts.
