Agree with this, particularly when considering Doku's 'tackle' against Liverpool last weekend where he similarly went in recklessly, but won the ball first. This time though it was subject to VAR review and not given. A definite lack of consistency!

You do know some games also end up in draws?

I imagine Hamer might want to leave at the end of the season, and while I could see a lower PL/ newly promoted PL club being interested, I can't see any of them paying the fee paid to us. Therefore unless Sheffield United are prepared to cut their losses he might be stuck with them.

I always thought they were originally only supposed to disallow goals where there was a clear and obvious error. If the VAR operators are still deliberating after 60 seconds a goal should stand as far as I'm concerned, even if it subsequently passes that someone might have had a toe offside.

On Leicester it would be hilarious if they blew this. Their owners might not be so keen to bankroll them if they stay in the Championship for a while :)

Is Ugbo ex Chelsea? If so he must be a nailed on signing surely?

Maybe not, but I'm sure if he does move this Summer it will be for a sum you would have previously thought unthinkable, particularly at the start of last season when there were plenty on here (can't recall if you were one of them) urging the club to sell for anywhere near £10m, as that was the...

I will be surprised and extremely disappointed if MR starts with a back 4 for this match.

While McNally was good for us last season by all accounts he has been pants at Stoke, where Rose is rated more highly. He would only have been a good signing if he had been the version we had last season, which was not a given. MR must have seen something that put him off pursuing him again.

While supporters were happy with the eventual outcome of our first season back in the Championship, it was definitely a troubled journey for some on the way there with enless bedwetting on here, led by Matt Smith's previous alias, bemoaning amongst other things the waste of a loan signing in...

One of our ongoing issues this season has been our propensity for conceding the first goal. If I remember right, Sky said last night we had done so in something like 23 or 24 league games, which is a crazy stat for a top half team. Our 2nd half goals scored have only been behind Leicester, so...

I was surprised MR stuck with 5 at the back into the 2nd half last night. Surely he won't play that system at home to Rotherham! I hope he does tinker again though and play our strongest defensive unit against them which I believe is Collins in goal with a back 4 of MVE, Thomas, Kitching and...

It's a shame we didn't play Dugdale instead then!

Waghorn had pedigree, but the evidence that he was on the wane was already out there in his last season at Derby, where his goal output dropped markedly. The one thing I would say though was that from what I understand he was always a good pro within the squad set up, so in that sense was...

We also had an excellent youth set up that was about to bring the likes of Danny Thomas, Paul Dyson, Andy Blair and Mark Hateley into the mix too.

If that had remained the tone of the criticism of him then I don't think anyone would have referred to those critics as 'haters'. Unfortunately there were undoubtedly some really vitrolic stuff hurled at him however, much of it not even aimed at his footballing ability but at him engaging with...

We beat them 4-2 in a mid week game, I think Dowie might have been manager and Mifsud was influential in our win.

Think I read that an average expected result for teams with a similar gap between us & Maidstone is only 2-0 or 3-0. Given some of the outlandish score predictions on here, should the result end up like that there are clearly going to be some disappointed people on this message board, even if we...

Wilson was having a mare of a game but I think its a tad unfair to implicate him in blame for Saka's injury. I imagine rather than booting it upfield for Saka to challenge for the ball in the air, Wilson's intention was to put it over their defender's head into the space behind him for Saka to...

Ah, I see that's what your basing it on. Guess I should have paid more attention as I thought you were just listing our best XI. Is that just league games, or cup too? Either way that team will be quite different come the end of the season.
