The fact this ref is a Prem Lg ref shows why you need VAR, he is incompetent
He could be on VAR duty though.

You know, I’m not convinced by Duran. Glimpses of promise, but quite indifferent in the system we play him in.

We miss Watkins when he’s not playing.

He seems a bit lazy at times.

Don’t think we’ve missed out if we were in for him.

All or nothing now.

We could go badly out of shape with that lot.

Lamberks Lemmings against Bradford would be the fear.

Duran’s a one trick pony.

Unfortunately, he hasn't perfected the trick.

I feel like he'd benefit from a loan to a side where he plays every game. Where that might be I don't know, but he looks like one of those players who won't improve without a lot of minutes.

I don’t think he’s lazy. I think he struggles to read the game and is out of position far too often

Don't think I've ever seen a quadruple substitution before.
