Loads of that wasn't there. Picked up by the Yorkshire commentators too. Said the body language was awful all over the pitch. Grim.

Something iffy with Szmodics. Looks a shell of a player out there. Not having that can be just because of fatigue.

They look absolutely brilliant though. Like they'd give Leicester a real challenge. How on earth do we make teams look this good. It's shameful.

Errr,does Ennis not know how to head the ball. That was perfect height. And he tries to get his foot up there.

Huddersfield commentator: "Ennis......quite easily nudged off the ball this half." Neutral's view of things.

Can you elaborate? I saw the club banned flags when Everton came. Due to their PL protest? I'm a bit lost with your rage over it. Am I missing something?

Can't argue with any of that. Seems a very fair assessment. I like VK a lot as a person. I'm not convinced as a manager yet. Maybe lucky for you my judgements are often wrong.

Ah, you're smarting from some barbs on here as well as the season results. Makes sense. You have faith in VK's style and plan? Merry Christmas too.

Fair enough, hadn't considered off field issues, and was taking it at face value. I've had a crap week though, and seeing Markanday and Ennis on the teamsheet a few pages back has sucked all the Xmas cheer out of me. And I've really rooted for Markanday. Thought he could be a Championship Salah. 😂😂

Am I the only one throwing my toys out the pram about Szmodics? If the fans have put all this effort into getting a good crowd in the stadium, seems a bit of a gut punch to then not let them see The Championship top scorer in action. Particularly for such a poxy reason. Couldn't care less about the sports science. Rest him the next 2 games if need be. You've got 'new faces' here, and the idea is to entice them back. I'm in a full on strop about it. Particularly when you have people like Shearer ridiculing game fatigue recently. Edit for reference:

Wicket on final ball, but my word, that was painful to watch:

Ha. Griezmann in managing us with a Venky's budget. Good luck with that Antoine. Feel like cheat mode may have to be enabled.

Moran at fault there. We know the risks with that style of play tho. Tbf haven't lost many goals recently considering how often we piss about with the tippy-tappy on edge of our box.

What a time to miss the goal. Great move.

Frustrating this. Every pass is nearly there and almost good.

In the Prem with VAR I think each one wud be examined on it's own merit. Was introduced to stop the ridiculous, accidental ones where a player's back was turned and falling to ground. Ridiculous penalties were being given. Today's one I can see the debate. Definitely stopped the ball going into the 6 yard box, and a potential goal opportunity. Personally, didn't think it was. But I'm not adamant.

Is a handstand a natural position to be in during a football match?

It seems to be Leonard wearing a Siggy suit. Same sloppy play.

Yep, I think they've written it into the laws specifically. If the hand is where it would be naturally to support body, no foul. Thought these commentators would know that.

Two very poor passes/hold up play from Leonard.

Ah yes, like that too. And it's got my zip. 😀

Genuinely not looking to stick the boot into Dack, but his signing probably contributed to the sacking. You bring someone in from your old club that you worked with for years, that you should have the inside scoop on. And then it goes.....how it's gone. Not a good look. And I'm genuinely gutted how Dack's career has nosedived after 2 bad injuries. He was so close to the top. Bad decision from Mowbray though.

Sam Curran's 2.5 death overs went for 53 runs. Wow.

In reality, yes. But on a messageboard she doesn't read, I'm full of bravado like I wear the trousers. 😉

Tbf I've always said my wife wears the permanent scowl of a Rovers fan. She'll blend right in.
