Suppose it would give Sky Blue Sam a rest.

If Hamer is fit. From what I hear the ban was well timed as he'd have missed out today through injury anyway.

That's right, plus Allen's constant energy too. They're all different players in their own right & allows MR to pick what he sees as the best combination for each game/opponent/scenario.

Lots of little tweaks all over the park saw everybody step up a level, particularly by looking to press higher up the pitch. I'd love Sheaf to play with that level of aggression every week, he can be too passive at times but was excellent 2nd half - he's a real confidence player.

Exactly, we don't know so can't say it didn't happen on the basis of that video which is likely not the gesture that caused offence. Club & police are investigating so let's wait & see.

Waghorn is about far more than just goals too, his link up play is excellent.

🤔

Having finally settled his case, Keogh speaks about that night & subsequent sacking. https://amp.theguardian.com/football/2021/oct/01/richard-keogh-waking-up-paramedics-car-crash-derby-sacking-blackpool?__twitter_impression=true

I've only just seen this replay from another angle, actually a really good decision, clear foul.

Class player, class finish.

One of my biggest issues with refereeing this season is how badly they've been implementing the advantage rule. We've had numerous occasions where the ref has tried to play advantage (which is great) but then when no advantage has accrued he's not pulled it back for the free-kick. There was a...
