Just because two players make contact in the penalty area doesn't make it a foul and a penalty

Just because there was contact in the penalty area doesn't mean its a 'definite' penalty. I didn't think it was a foul, he's already falling over having lost possession. and he sticks his foot out to try to regain balance. It was 'definitely' not a clear and obvious error.

Conways crossing ability hasn't been there for a couple of seasons now.

Personally I hate it. Even if it worked properly and it clearly doesn't yet. It takes the joy out of scoring a goal and fundamentally changes how we watch a game, it might be okay if your watching at home but in the stadium it must be awful. I'm all for helping out referees but this isn't the way for me. Things i'd try:- - Pay referees more money - Try to create a larger pool of Referees (allowing you to promote an relegate them) - Try to encourage less criticism of referees by managers - Actually sort out how players interact with the Referee on the field, punish abuse and crowding harshly and it will go away. Where I think Technology can be used to help is for Red cards with dangerous tackles if this can be limited to (30 seconds) and with offsides, there must be the technology available to tell whether a player is offside or not that can work within 10 seconds as sometimes its borderline impossible for the officials. It would then be upto the official to decide whether that player is interfering with play. For it to work it would have to be a message in the linesmans ear with a correction not this stop and refer stuff.

Raya Nyambe Lenihan Mulgrew Bell Smallwood Bennett Chapman Dack Armstrong Graham Subs: Leutwiler, Williams, Travis, Whittingham, Payne, Antonsson, Samuel. Could switch Amrstrong for antonsson, got options there though. Next game i'd have something similar to what finished the Oldham game

For anyone watching the under 23's regularly who's ready to step up to the first team ? If anyone? From what i've seen and heard previously its Travis but I've not really seen enough myself to comment.

Id Go Raya Nyambe, Downing, Mulgrew, Williams Travis, Smallwood, Evans, Antonsson Dack Samuel If Conway is able to get 60-70 mins in then i'd start him ahead of Travis. Subs: Leuitwiler, Ward, Caddis, Whittingham, Conway, Graham, Nuttall
