As much as he appears objectionable he always seems to speak well of us does ol' Warnock. Doesn't like Jack, though.

Probably why Jack hobbled off last night - wants the day off on Monday as he knows he will get another kicking.
well he should wear fkn shin pads then! I know the knock he got was on his thigh. But not wearing pads just seems foolishly daft to me, when you consider the intensity of the tackling in the championship and even more so in the PL.

Anyone know why he doesn't wear thvem? Is it because he finds it easier to control the ball, or does he really think that he's brian little or something?

He does wear them, they are just fairly small and he rolls his socks down to just above them. I remember when he first started him saying that it was something he had always done and that he was not going to change.

Fuck's sake. For about the first time ever, the fixture list presents us with an advantage, then it takes it away again.

The idea of Jedinak playing his third game in eight days against a nicely-rested midfield does not fill me with confidence.

Time for Tshibola?

For me Jordan Lyden would be the obvious replacement. All he needs is a chance to show Bruce what he can do.

It is a legal requirement to wear shinpads, he would not be allowed to play if he didn't wear them!
Still looks a bit of a pratt!

I always think you have to be consistently good when you 'look' different. He doesnt do this so I think sometime he maybe targetted for simoly being Billy Big Bollocks.

Targeted? He's already targeted, or have you missed all the free kicks and penalties he's won us? Every time he gets the the opposition doubles up on him, and I doubt it's anything to do with wearing small shin pads.

Bunn
Hutton Chester Baker Bacuna
Adomah Jedinak Tshibola Amavi
Kodija Gestede

Fairly attacking and open maybe but get the ball wide, get it in the box, cause mayhem. We simply can't "play" through any team until our midfield is sorted.
We caused all sorts of problems to Leeds once we got it into Gestede. Ok he can't hold it up and bring the midfield into play but he wins more than his fair share in the air.
(I ran out of options for left back...Bacuna could do a job there).



Bacuna has never done a job there.
