I used to be a nightmare playing 11 a side - I'd be in the ref's ear all game if I'd seen him book one of my teammates for a challenge similar to that Gueye yellow card. Think we miss Travis for that.

Gonna start booking their players, ref? Deliberately stopped us playing the FK quickly there.

Not a booking for their Polish CB for tripping Buckley from behind there, ref?

ACD hasn't tried to take their LB on once.

What the actual fuck has the ref booked Gueye for there?!

He did the English thing - he expected the defender to get to it. It's something Linekar always spoke about - you have to react like the pass is going to get through, he was in if he did.

Yeah that's a massive injury. Let's hope it's a niggle and they're being cautious 'cos he's our best player.

He covered for Beck well once and put in a good block, but yeah he's not offering much control.

This lad with the shit hair on their right wing looks useful.

Oxford are running their socks off at the moment, let's hope they can't keep this level of press up.

That Huddersfield signing straight into the starting line up for Oxford. Must be nice.

It's a funny one, isn't it? I lament how crap Dolan and Hedges are, but they give us a lot of defensive solidity and, weirdly, that's worked really well for us this season. As you say I hope it's not a repeat of the Millwall game.

Looks like Lampard has doubled down on his statements then.

Are Doherty or Mafoumbi anywhere near first team quality?

Shame he's a massive cunt.

They only beat us at Ewood because the ref let them kick us off the park.

There's genuinely nothing wrong with Ohashi and Gueye. THEY. NEED. SERVICE. Get some quick wingers in the transfer window and they'll both thrive.

Fuck.

Aren't they both offering it on the never-never? i.e. a loan and a mandatory fee if they get promoted? We could do that.

Yep, that's the crux of the matter. We'll have played 7 Championship games in 2025 by the end of January with a depleted squad. It's make or break time.

What position does he play for us? He's not a striker and he's not a fast winger.

You say screamer, I say massive GK error.

Yes, but I don't know whether that helps or hurts us.

He's 19 and has played like 3 times for Liverpool - he needs a run of games so they'll definitely be loaning him out. A loan fits our business model of not committing serious spending to any assets too, so I'm sure we're well in the hunt. It'll probably be up to Danns to choose where he goes.

So any transfer news or are we still in the middle of the Mowbray apologists speaking out?
