It’s a pen - he literally pulls his shirt nearly off.

Ref has been wank.

Briliant headed from Eccles but he’s still limiting us at 10.

MVE having one of those ‘all over the place’ games.

We've got a decent player on the bench in KKH if MVE is off it

The foul by their player was a red on emc for me premeditated foul and after that it ends with a yellow for emc mmmmm

 

[Otis]

Haven't been reading the thread, but obviously Dasilva was at fault for the first goal, but Kitching was also culpable for both WBA goals. He just seemed to stop in the penalty area

 

[Mercian In Anglia]

we need to play the next 45 like we did the last 5 min. Before that we were too ponderous and timid with the ball. Safe options, cutting back, giving someone else the responsibility, vague floaty crosses.

These will fold if we stay at them.

Molumby to get a second yellow.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

i’d say this is the single worst refereeing performance i’ve seen this season

It’s his inconsistency Eccles no foul and every time the fall they get one

Game over.

Glad we got one back before halftime. Game could be back on now. We’ve been too lax at the back and they’ve capitalized especially down our left side. Think BTA and Rudoni would make a difference. Eccles, despite his goal, and maybe Torp might have to make way.

Yeah he ran over with the intent to just do him like that. Everybody in the ground but the ref knew

EMC had his shirt too but came off worse. Can't have a pen if you do that.

Torp having his best game for a while for me

 

[Speedie's Head]

Howler by Dasilva again for the first goal

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I still can’t get over the ref thinking it’s not a penalty for the foul on emc

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Half time came at the wrong time for us as we were really building up a head of steam. We still look so vulnerable to the counter though. Think we can win but also wouldn’t be surprised if we conceded another couple.

 

[jordan210]

If we ignore the ref. There goals are both from our crap defending.

need a huge half. Written in the stars for bta to score the winner

 

[steve101]

Really can get back in this if we can keep the ball better. I do worry having early yellow cards on a slippery pitch and fiery game. DaSilva too risky for the first goal and Kitching poor with both.
Problem if Rudoni comes on is he has a tendency to want to do too much. We need to keep the ball moving quickly, which we did most of the time.

He’s been okay, but I’ve seen better from him. Unlucky to hit the bar.

Rudoni will have a field day

 

[stupot07]

Despite the goal, I'd hook Eccles at half time. If Rudoni can't play 45 bring BTA on.

Kitching getting slated on Sky for not covering the striker properly

 

[DT-R]

It's not the conditions for it.

Either think of something else or try and get Milan some gloves so he can get some purchase.

Exactly, its far too wet. Of the 3 we've had we've not beat the first man once, and on 2, it left MVE out of position and left us vulnerable on the counter attack! Just write them off for today and throw to feet and try and put a cross in

MvE and Kitching have been extremely poor. And despite a good goal, I don't think Eccles is the required quality. He's too clumsy, gives away pointless free kicks to lose the impetus, and is often ponderous in possession. Whilst he hasn't got the same physical presence, Allen is just a better player than Eccles.

 

[AOM]

Guy doing kick it for a ticket motm

 

[jordan210]

Is MVE ill, his face is really red today

Should’ve at least been a free kick on the edge of the box.

Kitching getting slated on Sky for not covering the striker properly

Rightly so, it was terrible. If he kept going, he cuts it out and there's no danger at all. Worst that happens is they get a corner.

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

Kitching getting slated on Sky for not covering the striker properly

And he played their winger onside before the cross. Bad decision

Fair.

drinking too much?

Bta not warming

 

[Great_Expectations]

Lee Hendrie looks like you generic brummy weasel, who’d be an absolute tosser on a night out.

 

[Nick]

Bta not warming

Now he is

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Fancy us to get a Penalty

 

[skybluegod]

Rudoni coming on it seems

 

[Saddlebrains]

I think we've been arse

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Rudoni for Eccles please.

Who takes? Torp?
