I think that Batth goal is gonna end up going down as an own goal. Think it's the defender's foot slams it home.

Shoulder.

Been hankering for ACD to play, but he's actually been poor. Not sure what's up with him, I know it was only Carisle u21s but he looks a shadow of the player. That was a bit better though as I'm typing.

Oh Gueye 🤣 That had me creasing! Only cos the game is done, mind. Hasn't scored a goal in the league, has had piss weak shots from relatively close in, and thinks he can nail a beauty from near halfway...only for it to not even have enough power to reach the byline 🤣 The lad has strong arms, but he either has wank shooting technique or must really skip leg day.

If Cantwell had scored that sitter I'd have said give it to him. Utterly transformed the game. But yeh probably Trav.

I'd be looking to give Trav or Tronstad a rest shortly. It's a partnership we rely on and there's a fair few games coming up.

He was almost certainly going to have to beat one more man unless he just shot immediately from no man's land. QPR risking getting someone else sent off though the way they're playing. Get in though, who gives a shit now!! Cantwell has transformed the game.

That was the weirdest header I've ever seen. Trav I think? Had plenty of time to think about it and aims it right back at the throw in taker, who had no Rovers players anywhere near him.

And not long after we have another pop from distance in a similar position and boom, winning! Should be a different game now, QPR have to stretch their shape to get back into it, opening them up to our counters, or sit off and lose. Fuck me Hedges is having a stinker, get him off.

He's not moving at enough pace for me to put it into the reckless category I'd consider it a red.

Insane that's not gone in! All started from Cantwell actually having a dig, something we rarely do until we're in the box.

There's no intent. He's running with the ball through a few players, it ended up a bit loose and ahead of him and he's desperately trying to get it back. I don't think he even spots Batth until quite late and just gets to it second. It's dangerous (Batth's leg isn't in fact broken though or anything like it), but it's accidental. Very different to the Preston red that someone has compared it to, which was as clear a red as you'll see after our lad getting scythed from behind.

It's crazy we are still having this issue. Was it the season before last that we had it the first time? There really shouldn't be supply or production issues from Macron anymore as there allegedly were at the time. From what I've heard they seem to prioritise clubs with bigger followings. Macron make very nice kits, but if we can't buy them there's not much point and the club is losing money. A halfway competent CEO would have been suing them or ending the contract for this failure to supply us properly (and there'd be a clause in the contract to enable this). But of course we don't have a halfway competent CEO.

Not gonna lie, I know that's hurt Batth but my initial instinct is that's no more than a yellow.

Travis with his customary yellow card. Typical that he didn't get one in the Preston derby with cards flying everywhere when I had a small bet on it at what I'd thought was a very generous 3.5 to 1 (has been booked in more than half his games).

Superb ball to Ohashi there. I was urging him not to play it, thought he'd never pull it off but it was inch perfect. With hindsight Yuki should've hit it first time.

Just like he was against Preston. Surprised we have gone with the same approach, especially at home.

He didn't though. Arsenal attempted to keep him, but he was out of contract and chose to go to Brighton. I believe no money has changed hands yet but it's going to tribunal.

Great, but such a shame when I see something like this my first thought is now 'great, another one we will lose for bugger all'. Hope we can reverse this recent trend again.

Basically an open admission that they don't give a fuck about us in the scheme of things. So just sell the fucking club!

And then lost him for nothing, enabling a team who took almost no risk on him to make the same amount we paid for him inside 1 season. I think the fact he scored 6 in 14 in the Prem says he is Premiership quality when confident. But yes, useless when he isn't.

Agree with this (apart from it was 6 in 14) until the last sentence. Due to his being massively a confidence player, his career could certainly fizzle out if things go against him at the wrong times.

Mad it's taken him this long to get his debut, or has their season only just started?

Yeh that was it really. Other than that he was just passing it around at the back a bit under no real pressure. Carlisle didn't have a shot on or off target I believe.

That sounds like more than enough to me without bringing Michalski back. One of the first team squad keepers should be dipping into the u21s from time to time to keep sharp. Think it would have been best to let Michalski keep tasting first team football.
