I know it won't happen as we've seen with Eddie before, but i do hope Isak starts instead of Wood.

I'm quite surprised at how few headers he wins from forward/long passes, he actually held the ball up OK today from passes down the channel or into him, that was his only highlight mind. But overall he's just a very disappointing player.

What i noticed a lot today, he was the last man back on set penises, every time it was cleared, high, low, spinning or whatever it just didn't matter, his first touch and decision making was flawless in those situations. A couple of error as well mind in general play, but this lad is pure class like.

March if he's very lucky.

Aye, although not being deliberate doesn't stop it being a red. I've forgotten the poster earlier who changed their mind, one angle makes it look high but the contact was on the foot, so yellow was adequate. Would have hurt though mind

That would be the Schar tackle, i think yellow was right anyhoo.

That's my take on it, you don't do that if Longstaff was terrible and Willock was hiding. we played alright, lacked creativity yes, but with Wood up front I'm not surprised. A centre forward in a front three has to be involved in a making that creativity, and Wood is so limited. He's just not very good, he can't move in spaces and make runs that pull centre backs around like Wilson (with pace) does, therefore making openings for others to create chances. It's hard to create anything with such a static player up top. Not that it was all his fault today mind, we weren't great and still played OK for me. Not to call anyone spoilt, but there's definitely some rumblings about our play and what we should be doing. As you say it's night and day, and maybe some if us need to slow down a tad on the magic mushrooms

For all our moaning we're a good side, good sides playing below par and get something out of games. We're no longer a Ashley Newcastle who would lose or hope to nick something, we're a proper possession attacking side.

Wow what a fucking brilliant goal.

A ref shouldn't need a replay to get that right.

This ref

Yeah he's been fine, the one thing i would say is he can be, and is a fair amount careless with the ball in his short passing. I suppose that's decision making.

Playing poorly doesn't mean a player doesn't care.

TBF the ball was spinning caught under his feet. But he should have done better mind.

I think because we've been so good a dip like today shows how far we've impoved, and we've actually played alright, again that shows how far we've come in such a short time.

Fair point, but I'd rather the manager get into them before making changes just yet.

DE's comment was daft enough (imo) without anyone having to throw names at it. Chill mate, no need to get in any daft bickering.

What for ? I get the wrong side for the preferred foot, but we gave the champions so much trouble last week. and have played so well for 6 months as we are. Let the manager sort it out at half time, no need to change after 45 poor minutes.

If you actually believe that was down the Pope, you really need to give your head a shake.

Poor goalkeeping Of course it wasn't.

ffs.

We're OK like, considering.

No work permit yet mate.

That's not even a foul ffs.

It's a penalty, the laws clearly state it. It just shows how poor our refs are, no matter on the pitch or watching video replay. It's not a question of not knowing what's a penalty or not, it's just appalling officiating.
