The Fleetwood v Wycombe game was crazy. 3 goals in the first 6 minutes, two players sent off for Fleetwood and missed penalty. Wycombe won 4-1, played against ten men for an hour and still only had 36% possession.

A proper game that
You forgot the fake 'crowd' dummies and a flare getting chucked onto the pitch from outside the ground
Really enjoyed it
Wonderful stuff

Made all the more sweet that his horrible team got smashed in a reflection of Joey Barton's own horrible way - with red cards for a reckless challenge and then dissent. Absolute karma.

Yeah, echoes of the Kevin Nolan experience circa 2018

Dear oh dear-remember the desperate days of Ageyi and Andre Wright up front and when that wasn’t working a cameo from Tudgay off the bench? :emoji_anguished:

My word-the keeper for Fleetwood had an absolute stinker didn’t he? Almost singlehandedly has cost them the tie.

He was amazing
Brilliantly saved a penalty and then miraculously got across to save the follow up
But punched one into his own net for one goal and was like a chicken with his head cut off whenever Wycombe put the ball into his penalty area
Can't put all the blame on him though
Lewis Coyle's assault in Fleetwood's area which gave away the penalty and saw him deservedly sent off didn't help
Then Paddy Madden's antics leading to his departure put the tin hat on it
Had a grim smile as Joey Barton patted them both on the back as they headed for the dressing room

Anyone think paddy Madden could do a job in the championship the bloke scores goals whenever he plays?

No. He's a decent league 1 level striker, that's it. He isn't even that prolific apart from scoring regularly against Cov.

Double whammy:

Winger Ryan Kent , who did not contribute a single assist in 21 Premiership appearances last season, will prove his critics wrong in Rangers' bid to stop Celtic competing 10 in a row, says assistant manager Gary McAllister . (Scotland on Sunday)

I liked Kent but end product was definitely the issue

I've said it until I'm blue in the face yet a lot of our fans got out of their seats like clapping seals each time he got the ball.

The kid has so much skill but cannot shoot, pass, or cross to save his life. He was a burden on the team.

Next on the list... Jacob Murphy.

He can't shoot to save his life yet he scored 8 goals last season? He scored 1 in 3 in the league last season which is decent for a winger.

If he'd had an end product at 18 when he was here we'd never have had him in the first place.

That last part is not an argument.

Years after he has left us there are massive question marks about his end product. Yet sky blue elephant thinks otherwise.

I'm not saying there aren't question marks but he has clearly added to his game since he left us and he is still young.

He's almost 24. You cannot hide behind his age anymore.

I've given him credit for what ability he has but it is so binary. I'm amazed the experts have just started to work it out after splashing 7 million on him.

I dont think Bristol will ever get premoted out of l1 because they r basically our ‘B team’ and they only get the players who r crap for us same with Sunderland

Good as I wouldn’t want him to play against us as he does seem to score against his former teams.

At the same time Jack Stephens was getting games for Southampton, Bailey Cargill was playing in league 2 for MK Dons.

Obviously they have since been promoted to league one, but it's mental to think both those players were here at the same time and in my opinion had a very level of ability and potential.

Collins 12 goals in the Championship now puts him out of our price range. Luton will be asking 5 mil + for him now he's proven in the Championship.

One of my best friends is a Notts County fan. Say's Turner is a class above their level, but unfortunately still injury prone. Shame for him but that is not going to change at this point in his career, so I wouldn't expect him to play higher than League 2 from hereon.
