And then crash and burn, pretty fast. It's a familiar story isn't it. Just realised I got that wrong, it was FA Cup for Redknapp with Portsmouth. Getting confused with Spurs League Cup win that year, which was Juande Ramos. And didn't Harry pretty much bankrupt them to get that trophy. Says it all. English managers have an awful record.

Heard on radio today last English manager to win a major trophy was Harry Redknapp in 2008. And that was just the League Cup. Awful record for homegrown managers in the supposed top league in World.

Yeah, but Carsley already appears to be in tears. I'd take 2 years and the next tournament. Tbh, don't know why they're always desperate to give 4/5 year contracts. Just do it to end of next competition and say we'll review after that. I know it then leaves us exposed to manager getting poached, but that doesn't seem to be much of an issue with the National job.

He pretty much quit in the post match press conferences. "....hopefully I'll be going back to the 21's" He hates the media focus I think. Not the job for him.

Damn right he did. He became England manager.

Very damning stat that. How can they keep collapsing so often:

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Absolute mugging

Crackers that this is still only 1-0. Couldn't argue with 4 or 5.

Don't edit this typo, it's accurate!

Stupid. And if we get past 60mins with no changes, even stupider. Clearly not working.

It's the yellow I'm scared of as much as anything. And we have a replacement ready in Carter who's getting rinsed at RB. A youth team coach would spot all this, so JE better.

Also, the good run of games is due to us riding a wave of confidence. Once that confidence goes you're left with just the raw quality of the players to fall back on. And it's on display in HD these last few games.

If Dolan and Hyam aren't switched at HT I'm going to lose a lot of faith in JE, and question his bottle. They're both obvious moves.

They wanted 4, we wanted 10, 8 seems like a pretty reasonable result. Allowing him to play on was the issue. Just suspend whilst the final decision is made. Was never going to be less than the usual 3 games for a straight red, so why on earth not ban immediately. If they stay up by less than 3 pts I can see the other relegated teams being pretty angry.

Yep, I know that Gally, he's an absolute beast. See report from just Feb this year: Blackburn ratings: Gallagher fantastic but midfield off pace Sam Gallagher - 8 Another proper workhorse performance. Ran the line brilliantly and poked past Woodman to put Rovers two ahead. Bullies the defence, makes great intelligent runs, good layoffs, bangs in a screamer. It's all very familiar. Problem is I also remember the other 160 matches well. 😉 Think there's a high chance you'll be back in New Year going - "Oh, this is what you lot were on about." But, as others have said, genuinely wish him well. Seems a good fella, and he always tries hard. Just trying often isn't enough. He's guaranteed to score against us, so I suppose you'll get the chance to crow that day.

Mines available for any player that leaves one on Ben Wilson these last 15 mins. Perfect 10 score.

Commentator said "I think he can do better with that shot" What would be worse? An own goal.

Like it! Defender for attacker straight out the gates. Proactive from JE

You'd assume for Hedges

Theoretically, should be a lot different playing at home v 10 men, rather than away in a derby. But last week doesn't give much confidence that we'll now coast to 3 pts.

Can we agree his inconsistency meant he was awful today.

Got to be a lengthy ban surely. Suarez got 4 months.

Wasn't an accident. He took the opportunity to get a kick in.

He booted the player after the whistle. Stupid tbh. Now we lose the best signing for a run of games.

Doubt we'll get the 9+ mins injury time that's due here. Even after their GK timewasting watch about 4 mins go up.
