Especially given he was on already on a yellow as well.

Tell you what we could really do with someone as a free kick taker. When we get a free kick in a decent position (like we did 3/4 times yesterday) we’ve got no-one who you’d think has a chance of scoring

Not what we needed

This is a must win game simply because my father in law to be is a die hard Stokie and I’ll never hear the end of it if they beat us at Ewood again 🙄 Apparently Delap is a bit of a beast so hopefully we can contain him and Gayle

I think so, think he’s proven his worth in these two cup games

On DAB radio

Wonder if Dacks coming off because he will start Saturday.

Sounds like Philips and BBD coming on

Listening on bbc Lancashire (tunes in 2nd half) Commentary has not made Edun sound good so far

And it clearly wasn’t working going forward. Stevie Wonder could see that. So yeah yeah JDT has to deal with what he’s got but he had players he could have put on earlier for me. I think Morton has been good too and don’t understand why he’s not played more. I really like Buckley but he’s not looked right last two guys. Why not rotate and put Dack and Morton in and rest a couple others seeing as we had some many games in a short space of time. Doesn’t make sense to me when we’ve seen what we’ve seen for a game and a half

Yeah but tell me that any of those players have worked today and tell me why it’s not worth having a punt with someone who’s clinical in front of goal and can keep hold of the ball? All very well saying JDT has this and that but no one has done anything to warrant their place in the team today I’m afraid. At 1-0 why not add him? I can understand in the first three games where we are leading but today after the Reading game was so important to get the next goal

Frustrating because I don’t see Dack as being a poor player now. And look how we played today and Wednesday. No press so no idea how Dack isn’t playing. He’s quality on the ball and he’s a natural goal scorer. Doesn’t need pace to be doing a good job. At least he can hold on the the ******* ball

Gutted! Why did we play him against Hartlepool? Don’t think that was necessary

Is he not back for Stoke? Thought I saw that on Twitter other day from Rich?

Sir Alex could have him on the wing and I’d be criticising him. I think it’s poor from JDT playing him there. I like the new manager but this is a poor choice Think Gallagher is decent upfront

It just baffles me. I understand he works hard defending but maybe whoever plays the wing needs drilling into them to do that. It just doesn’t work and it makes me so frustrated watching it again

Not slagging Gallagher off, just saying last season proved he can’t play on the wing. Don’t understand how the managers seen the same thing and is doing exactly the same as Mowbray. Gallagher should be upfront or on the bench end of

Can anyone tell me why we are seeing another manager play Gallagher on the wing? Also how the heck is Dack not getting in that team? Nothing outfield beyond Ayala has been a shred of decent last two games and Dacks got 45 mins. It’s a joke. Also our midfield has been non existent, why don’t we give Morton a chance, he’s looked good whenever he’s played. Also why’s Hedges MIA? Think he’s not been amazing but has been better than some of the ‘front 4’ so far

I do too. Not much he can do when he gets the ball just past the halfway line and there’s nobody down his wing.

Wasn’t a good performance but we’ve got a new manager who’s obviously still figuring things out. He’s not gonna come in and snap his fingers and we’re going to win every game. We are top of the league with 3 good performances and 1 really bad one. it’s sport, it happens, some of you have some seriously unrealistic expectations

Managers seen it, He’s made changes at half time so let’s so how we go. We can’t expect to play great every game and every half. We will have bad periods, that’s how football and all sports work

Some of you lot as so pessimistic it’s a joke. We had a crappy half, happens to every team. Let’s see how he responds and what changes he makes but jeez calm down. One bad 45 minutes and it’s the end of the world. It’s sport and it happens. Don’t throw in the towel just yet

Dack liked my tweet that said good result but gutted not to see him get any minutes. I get he’s gotta earn his place etc etc but I think given what he’s been through he deserves a chance, at least 10 minutes of a run out when we are 3-0 up. Needs to put in a shift if he starts Wednesday. He may not have the legs for the press whatever but we know if he plays he’ll score goals. He scored a couple when he came back when other weren’t last season.
