Your defence is terrified.

Against a team with a severely weakened defence you’d think what they don’t want is pace and balls in behind. Doubt they’d mind Chair playing about slowly in front of them. They certainly wouldn’t mind him constantly dropping back to the halfway line to then slowly start an attack.

I’d love to see us bloody the noses of Leeds and Burnley but it’s got the feel of a few being 5% off it as contracts wind down and assuming those aren’t extended that’ll only worsen. Chances are we bumble our way to a win or two as most teams are as good/bad as we are. Be nice to send Cardiff towards the drop but think they’ll be fine.

Preston v Coventry followed by QPR v Norwich live from the Michigan Stadium. Hope I have enough loyalty points.


In all seriousness we can’t afford to start this season like the last two. Pre-season has a purpose and we looked well off it from what I saw of the friendlies and obviously the early league games.

Saying that, would be nice to play somewhere fun, cheap and reasonably hot.

Writing off Kelman entirely seems silly to me. If we spent a bit on a 23-year-old at Orient playing and scoring regularly we’d be mildly optimistic. How poor he was before matters little.

If Cifuentes has decided against him then fine but I’d be telling him he’s got a real chance here with a decent pre-season.

Money probably. Doubt Celar and Frey are on small money given the way Frey’s contract was supposedly done from those more ITK on here. Everyone wants a striker and they ain’t cheap if they’re known to be good enough. If we were in a more desperate position at the time looking down or in a very good one looking up then maybe it would have been different.

It’s a shame we (presumably) can’t recall Kelman. Would’ve liked to let him have a run with the paucity of options available.

I think a lot of refs appreciate the chance to rest.

Only bad thing about Leeds bottling it is the teams who overtake them. Would be good if Sunderland could pick up and close the gap.

Those six-fingered freaks wouldn’t admit he’d been done if Furlong had thrown a piano at him.

Also to be fair to him, as dopey as some of his fouls were, the first one and others were nowhere close to meriting a free kick.

He was superb at Hull. He and Saito in different ways totally turned that game from a dreadful 0-0 or 1-0 defeat into a 2-0 lead and relatively comfortable win. Great when he came on against Luton. Lovely finish at Miiiillll.

Chasing a game against a team sitting deep he’s not up to it IMO but there’s a player there. If we had capable and mostly available forwards he’d be getting much needed loan time so he’s getting 15 mins here and there mainly which isn’t helping him.

Not seen the red card from a decent replay yet but he did the right thing to take his time, speak to the linesman etc.

Then spent the whole second half desperate to get out of there with the home fans content enough to not lynch him. Classic second tier refereeing really. The stupidity of mostly Colback and Lloyd made the task rather easy.

Styles very lucky to get away without a second yellow. They had pretty much carte blanche to do what they wanted once the ref had set the standard as Portsmouth did.

I think there’s quite a big step from taking a bit of time over a goal kick or throw (Holgate took forever and no chance of a ref at this level giving a second yellow especially to a home team with ten men) and that boot/glove fiasco.

Nothing to stop the bloke killing as much time with a fake injury anyway but a stud being loose isn’t an injury and doesn’t warrant stopping play nor does a goalkeeper’s sudden inability to use Velcro after 25 years of goalkeeping. Seen similar in rugby with a player’s contact lens falling out and that’s on him.

What can a ref really do other than add the time on (he didn’t, nor even close)?

Found it very odd Yang was left on. Looked miles off it and up against a full-back on a yellow for virtually the whole game offered precious little. Would have liked to have seen Dembele on that side rather than wherever he was apparently playing.

How does he miss?

Holgate on a card so we can enjoy 20 minutes of this waiting for him to take throw-ins.
