Maybe, but I have never known of a retrospective ban for someone committing a foul, even a professional one. Multiple instances of retrospective bans for violent conduct. We've not been hard done by here.

That's completely true. The fact that they can't take retrospective action when a ref saw it is stupid. Especially when it's violent conduct that badly injures a player.

You won't get a retrospective ban for being a niggly little shit, but you will for violent conduct. Don't think anyone's jumping on him, just saying the ban's not unreasonable, and he was a tit for doing it. Both true.

That was just a foul, though, not violent conduct.

Jesus.

They're an old club from a town about a third of the size of Coventry. They're badly run, but so were we. How many fans do you expect them to have?

Make them play in their statistics bras and pants.

Because whilst there were mitigating factors for the result, his personal performance was dire. I agree unfair to judge over a difficult full debut, though.

Tbf, there's some pretty questionable defending in there!

Ayari was the right player at the wrong time.

He was an average Championship midfielder. Very good below that. I remember people saying that they couldn't take another season of Doyle in the late 00s.

They're looking to sign Mr Tickle?

Just because:

As well as the Villa goal, which was worth his fee alone, I think we sold him for pretty much what we paid.

It's the hope that kills you.

It will, and he would have been very young at that time; players develop at different rates and at different times. Not making a splash at your first club is hardly a yardstick.

I'd argue we got no more points than we deserved in those games. Southampton you can take out, as it was a good 45 minutes followed by backs to the wall. Fair enough. The rest, we were shit. Preston, the worst of the lot. Much better than them 11 v 11, then them down to ten and no space. Ok...

I do this on Football Manager, tbf. I'm light in a position, get a series of bids in for likely players, can't make my mind up on which is best, so end up signing them all.
