What was the error?

He'd have to be offered one first no?

Not a great ad for the officials this one. Goal very obviously wrongly disallowed. Patrick Roberts avoids a booking for a disgraceful dive This appalling 'tackle' which intentionally injures an opponent is somehow only worthy of a yellow!?

Impressive but...

Yeah absolutely. I am a big fan of Eccles & he's probably POTY so far but I don't think we will always need both of them.

Sheaf Wright Kitching

He used to take them regularly for the youth teams too, he's a very assured taker. I'd let Wright have them though, if he keeps adding to his tally it can only be a good boost for a striker's confidence.

Yep. Scored v Wimbledon in the Cup, missed v Shrewsbury (preseason) now Watford & Ipswich in the League.

Some say he is still among us...

This.

We've scored 5 goals from corners i.e. scored from 3.6% of them which is very high.

Agreed. I think that account is just saying it's the sort of player we'd look at & I'm sure we have. I'd have been all for it last summer but makes little sense now.

Yeah, that was a surprise & I wouldn't have selected him. I can only think he wanted to utilise his creativity to help spring quick counter-attacks. Needless to say, it didn't work. My point really is that it wasn't something MR just fancied doing on a whim or that he was "shitting himself"...

Spot on. I understood his thinking & it could have worked. The analysts & coaches spend hours analysing footage of opponents & setup accordingly not just "shit themselves" coz we're playing a good side. We had spells in the game where we were well in the ascendancy which doesn't happen often...

No.

Anyone still think they're a poor side who "will get found out"?

Had 3 previous warnings as well. Should have booked him after the last one on O'Hare.

Looking good at last. I imagine this is more what MR had in mind, took far too long to get to grips with it though.
