Bodes well for us though that our level of play has been good against an inform team and look at the proven quality on the bench. Going to be some triple change we've got up our sleeves on the hour mark.

I'd like to see Maatsen for Digne tbh. The amount of passing/crossing chances we're getting down that left, I feel as though he wouldn't have been as wasteful as Digne has been - the one he could've given Watkins a tap in was as bad as the chance Rogers missed IMO.

It will surely happen as the season goes on. That long diagonal we play a couple of times a game out to the left is a dream for Maatsen with his pace.

Digne done little wrong in last 12 months but ultimately he's part of a backline that rarely keeps clean sheets and you feel to get to the next level Maatsen needs to be starting soon.

It's strange as when Moreno came in him and Digne were straight away frequently rotated depending on opposition yet it hasn't happened at all so far.

Were they? I thought Digne got injured in Moreno’s first game as a sub (Leeds at home?) and then Moreno was in the team for a while.

They're piling in on Bailey, on the line between fairly and not but that's the game, fair play to them.

Don't know what the opinion was on here but I thought that penalty decision was kind of bullshit.

I absolutely hate the rule. To me there has to be some level of intent. This whole body/unnatural arm position thing is stupid. Especially at the speed the game is played. We will benefit from it also at some point but it’s nonsense as a rule.

I think it would be interesting how much the ref told VAR about seeing it. Did he think the ball didn't hit the arm because they had stated that VAR was going to be less input in the game and we have definitely been on the end of that ruling this season. So for them to rule him going to have a look, I can't see any other reason for the check but he stated it didn't hit. If he saw it did, then they can't call it a clear and obvious error.

Probably one of those *checks badge* ones.

Sub Bailey, he’s just not producing anything.


On the other side that's the best I've seen Ramsey play for over 12 months. Been a great outlet and should've had at least one assist.





completely agree   I think hes played great

He's turning around and trying to keep his balance, which makes it a perfectly 'natural' position I think. Plenty of situations in which an outstretched arm is natural. Let the record show I've been critical of Cash before but this time I think he's been a bit hard done by.

We need to win this. 3 points from three leagues games against very average mid to lower table opponents would be a terrible return.

WTF is Bailey doing……he just doesn’t seem to want to be on the pitch. Hook him now.
