On another note and I think he is ok on some ways, but has Gallagher the worst first touch in the first team? In the league? It's not tight anyway I'll say that

If we didn't get that on Brereton , we would say he did go over easy to be fair We wouldn't have got it though

We have Carter as well. Who would come here to sit on the bench behind Lenihan, Wharton, Williams and Ayala? It's all well and good saying X or Y is injury prone or picks up suspensions now. One centre half today got a red, the other an absolute freak injury. That's football. We don't always need to find someone to blame or say "look at me I said we needed more defenders I was right"

Is a straight red a 3 game ban? Because that makes a huge difference. It certainly wasn't a straight red, whether you think it was a foul or not. Seems to me the Ref got caught up in the occasion a bit. Was very card happy from the start

Gallagher's was completely different. He played for it too, but today they were running side by side and Lenihan was a bit clumsy, Toney literally flew through the air with minimum contact,such was his excitement at being given the opportunity to dive. Games are won and lost now depending on if your player dives or not at the correct time. It's sad to see.

Try and touch them as little as possible, which is going to completely change the game.

Ya in modern football we all want our strikers to hit the ground as easily as possible..it's the way football is gone.

Clumsy but that's the challenge when some attackers are just waiting to hit the deck

I reckon you should do the same.

Lenihan and Toney were both doing the exact same thing, the difference was Toney was waiting for contact so he could throw himself to the ground, whereas Lenihan wasn't

Well it was the truth. Could see the struggle

They were running side by side and Toney was waiting for the opportunity to fly though the air

Case in point Toney. Literally flies in the air after he got the contact he was waiting for

That's a soft penalty Ah for fuck sake, that's a joke of a callm straight aght red? They were running side by side

Huge if we can keep a clean sheet til half time

Like paying FIFA with the pass button broken

We need to try and get a second. If we start sitting back, we will lose. Armstrong very lucky there. He should have played it earlier

Be great to get to half time with a lead and 11 men

Now? Meaning we would have used two subs? Madness. Got to hope Douglas uses his experience.

F**k. Decent corner routine by them Johnson looks like he has gotten some PEDs since the last night

Ayala is a serious improvement of the days of Mulgrew. He's a big strong defender who isn't afraid of the dirty work

?

Yet playing brilliantly. Maybe the professionals just know better!

If Rothwell played like this every week, he would be in with a shout of replacing Messi at Barca lol

Always something to kill the momentum. Need the first goal here
