He could have very easily given us two penalties, so I wouldn't be too furious.

I don't think so - he's just not giving either side free kicks for obvious dives / soft play.

He's a crap player, he's just quick. Zero football intelligence.

We must be watching different games.

Another lucky goal for Khadra against us.

Great save by Ruddy - that was 1-0.

He's still coming back from a long layoff with an ankle injury. He has turned out for the U21s and the England U19s in the last few weeks though.

I'd get him off for Garrett, who I think is a better player, but I don't watch them train every day.

I mean they're both injured, so...

Only if Haaland and Mbappe were turning out for them.

I'd take him off for Thomas. He's not been great and that was stupid - he fronted up to the Birmingham player, I've seen red cards given for that.

From this I gather you mean the other two do all the running, tackling and creative work and he just passes it 5 yards between them and the CBs? 'Cos that's all he does for us.

He's basically an excellent sub in a very strong Championship team - just not quite good enough to be the difference maker that he teases to be.

I think JDT has switched Dolan and Hedges around to account for Chong.

He makes this formation tick.

I actually quite liked it when he was brought on as a #10 to relieve Szmodics. It limits the damage he can do to our defence.

Same as it ever was.

If only Hedges had a right foot.

That Colak lad who we were after in the summer (ended up at Rangers - played the previous season on loan at Malmo) would score 30 in this team.

I'd say so, but I'd be a hypocrite as I hugely respect JDT as a manager. If he's picking Morton over A. Wharton he must have a damn good reason.

He travelled with them though.

I wonder if he's being rested 'cos he was playing internationals during the week? Or maybe it's a reward for Hedges for scoring hte winner? We've got 8 games to play this month, the squad is going to have to be handled with kid gloves.

It's a 7 point gap to the chasing pack if we win today - that's a massive deficit to overcome... although of course we're very capable of bottling it.

I'd just like to finish in the Playoffs. I can't see us catching Sheffield United, Boro, or (on this form) Luton. Just get us in the mix at the end of the season and hope a virus rips through their squads.

They have a shit manager - that tends to even things out.
