    Giving what?

    Sorry mate, my phone doesn't seem to get on with the website at the moment. About 5 rows in front of me and my mate, 'a fan' was giving Etheridge a load of stick & giving him a few gestures. From where I was I couldn't hear what he was saying, but Etheridge seemed to take exception to it and ran up to the ref to let him know. Through gestures the ref seemed to suggest 'let me know who it is and I'll sort it out' and Etheridge refused to point the guy out. 

    Before the end of the game, the stewards seemed to have worked out who the 'fan' was and questioned him after the game.

    Absolutely pathetic behaviour and just drags us down as a fanbase.

  2. Really like Sorba Thomas as a player. Him and Lewis O'Brien were the standout players for Huddersfield's playoff side last season. Can play on either wing and has been used a wing back as well. Plenty of pace and takes set pieces. 

    Intrigued to know what's happened to see him out of favour at Huddersfield. And as people have already discussed, a straight loan move is quite bizarre. Doesn't do anything for us beyond the short term.

    Oh come on get real the guy has spent most of his career as a third choice apart from when he was here. It means jack shit if he was any good he'd have been challenging the first spot there but he never has.

    If you're seriously telling me you rate him after his time here you've got goalkeeper issues !

    Not sure how you've gone from a Pears v Steele comparison to a GK needing to challenge for a starting spot at a Premier League side to be any good. On that same basis you presumably think Pears is or will be capable of that. If you're seriously telling me you rate him that highly after seeing him play for us, you've got goalkeeper issues!

    Most back up premier league GK’s are English as it goes towards filling the quota of HG/English players (I think) hence why Scott Carson is still on the books of Man City and United had Lee Grant for a few years. 
     

    Steele is a poor goalie and 1 PL appearance in 5 years or whatever it is tells you all you need to know. 

    They also weren't the immediate back up to the starter at those clubs. Completely understand the whole point around perceived sub par keepers getting contracts in the Prem due to the home grown quota. Merely pointing out that Steele is probably a bit better than he's made out to be on here, given that he's trusted to be the immediate back up at Brighton. I don't think Pears will ever find himself in that position.

    Might be in a minority but i think Pears could turn out to be an ok keeper he just needs games now.

    He's no Tommy K but he hasn't got half the experience of him, Wigan nightmare aside i certainly think he looks more capable than Steele ever did.

    Yet Steele is contracted as the back up GK at a Premier League side.

  6. Quite happy for the WC break now. After a really good run of form and a chance to be top by Christmas, that defeat has set us back months. I hope someone sits the manager down to explain why that isn't just another defeat and to highlight the issues that led to their win, are exactly why we've lost the other games we have this season. Something needs to change as we can't keep riding our luck.

    I've half supported him leaving Dack out of the side while we've been picking up wins, but when you have worse players (performing poorly as well) starting over him every week, it doesn't make any sense. He's a goal threat from midfield and we have to integrate him.

    Whenever we don't have Diaz or Gallagher on the pitch, we look abject. Another striker (that's actually good) is a must in January. 

    JDT must be planning on bringing in a new LB/LWB, because there's no way Brittain should be playing there, with Hedges covering on the other side. We lose the threat of our best full/wing back and arguably our best midfielder.

    I actually thought he was playing with a knock - he seemed to be flexing his right let a lot during stoppages.

    He was. You could see from the Riverside quite clearly that he picked up a knock when he was bundled over by a Birmingham player early in the first half. Could see him trying it out loads and he didn't look fully comfortable after that. Fair play to him for battling on.

    I thought overall we looked a bit leggy, not sure we can be playing this way every game unkess our fitness levels continue to get better.  A better team than WBA may have ounished us, thing is there may not be many better teams than them in this division.  So oroud to be a Rover right now.  Sad thing is I can not go into work and brag about it today.  Cis they ain't got a clue what I am on about.

    I agree but how many teams are genuinely better than WBA in this league? There won't be many.
