He doesn't set us up well defensively. Everyone cuts us to ribbons on the counter. I'm amazed he's an ex-CB.

I think we'll just about scrape by, but we're bloody unlucky at times, get nothing from the refs and clearly only have about a 15 man squad.

I mean they did play 50 extra minutes with 11 men. I'd say the ref had a big influence on that result.

That's the problem though, isn't it? They slotted home their once chance of the game because they have that quality on the pitch.

Nah, he'll have said "stop switching off mentally. You've cost yourselves 4 points in the last 2 matches because you can't keep your concentration for 95 minutes. Enough."

Yeah, 4 points dropped in 4 days. At the end of the day we simply don't score enough - but Eustace would have organized his team to bank all 6. That's the difference between our last two managers.

Gueye is 6'5" and massive. Asking him to press players like Ohashi (who's literally half his size) is foolish.

Played just enough time for them to score. Thanks ref.

Who else do we have? 5th choice CM at this point.

It was Morishita and he's clipped his heels from behind. I don't care if he's Usain Bolt and was likely to easily run him down - he didn't. He got the wrong side and brought him down. Straight red all day, every day.

As I said - put me on ignore. You clearly don't understand the game and my posts annoy you. One very simple solution.

Does this referee understand the rules? Clearly a straight red.

Didn't realize you were allowed to run across a player's path as he pushes the ball past you. My mistake.

He is, but we'd have been sunk without him. He's an average Championship CM - he's been a great loan for us.

That's a pen all day long.

The massive problem I have with it is that it's just so cynical. Young collapsed to the floor in the box holding his head, so the ref stops play. Where do we get it back? In our own half with our CBs.

When other teams get a FK in that kind of position we're all waiting for it to nestle in the back of the net. I can't remember the last Rovers player that filled me with confidence that they were going to score direct from a FK.

Exactly. I'm correct and you're wrong. Same as it ever was. (The referee spoke to Miller and told him to be careful i.e. no contact was made = dive)

This McKenna's a massive cheating cunt on the sly isn't he?

Clarke should have been booked for diving there. Also bloody hell they've got much, much better players than we do.

Let's hope he doesn't make the cut. We simply can't afford to lose him.

Ribeiro was signed under Gestede and Pickering was a L1 player. They just don't fit the system - it's really not that hard.

5 of our best players are currently missing - Wharton, Carter, Tronstad, Cantwell and Toth. I'm under no illusions that we'll spend money in January.

It's just about scraping together enough points and hoping the cavalry can come and save us post-Christmas. We'd have all taken a draw at 3pm. Obviously the way it's come about is a kick in the teeth, but that's football.
