It’s not too early though is it? As proven by the fact none of you can come up with a similar signing who failed to make the squad in their first month as much as him. That’s just a get out. Like the “match fitness” nonsense because he has two weeks off two and a half months ago, like the desperate “maybe the reports of the fee are out by an order of magnitude”.

Honestly nothing amuses me more on this site than the crew who argue with everything I say regardless of how stupid the arguments have to be.

It is notable that he cost a lot and can’t get in the squad. Just say it, nothing bad will happen.

He was in the squad on Saturday

I think we might've seen him on the pitch later on, if it wasn't for the red card and reshuffle.

He'll be used in the coming games, I'm sure of it.

Not to mention the first players we took off were the wingers. Maybe the plan was to always rotate before the red

Was such a great response to going down to 10 haji should have had a couple
We were a little too defensive for me after number of players was levelled up
Also Rushworth was so so good

I was the opposite tbf.

We looked well drilled and just let them come at us knowing we had that cushion. Did think BTA did well tho when he came on late when they were running on empty

We were in the mindset and had made necessary changes to defend what we had. Its hard to just change that mindset/setup when they go down to 10 too. We managed it well and did what we needed to do.

We'd altered the shape and set the mindset to go defensive; it would have been difficult to reset again.

Plus we had the goals; no need to go for them, make them break us down.

Dasilva should’ve put the game to bed as well, should’ve finished 3-0. His attempt at a finish was comedic.

Did you hear his explanation?
Didn’t want to rub it in after the assist

We'd set out for 45 minutes of 10 v 11 and suddenly we were 10 v 10, I thought it threw us a little, though understandably.
We looked dangerous again once BTA came on.

He also signed Dion Dublin, the best player I've seen play for us.

However, my over-riding memory of his time was horribly turgid football.

My overriding memory was of David Rennie “floating” a free kick into the arms of the opposition’s goalie.

I thought although they had a lot of the ball we were much the better side
In fact, we had a couple more gears to go up if it had been necessary.
Same as at West Brom

Can't see anything other than 6 points for Boro this week but then again, I would have said that the other week

I think it's unlikely but I wouldn't rule it out.

If anything losing Thomas will mean they are more difficult to break down.

Stoke have now lost Wilmot for the rest of the season and have 'illness in the camp'. It will be a miracle if they get anything.

I'd be absolutely shocked if Stoke got anything, awful team with their 1 attacking threat out.

Best case is they absolutely shit their way to draw

Leicester have only won 1 league game this year and that was at home to WBA at the start of the year 2-1. Last game they were away to Ipswich and drew 1-1. That was an even bigger surprise.
