The Mail Bag

Fighting Blues

So we go behind early to Blackburn after running the first few minutes........ plenty of time to get back yeah???????? Really?? How often do we come from a goal behind to win?

We did it last season......once......Fulham led for 2 minutes at Goodison before Carsley got us back en route to a 4-1 win. Last time we came back...... Bolton at Goodison ... 3-2 from 0-1 and 1-2 in 2004. Big Duncan and Graveson got cracking equalisers and Bolton gave us an own goal winner.

Before that.....August 2004 at Crystal Pal... Gravesen had two in a 3-1 win.

That makes 118 Premier games and three come-backs from a goal down to win..... two down - forget it! Do we just chuck it or what?

Nobody ever seems to talk about this but did Blackburn know that they were pretty well guaranteed at least a point as soon as that ball squirted past Tim?

Something surely must be done, David?
