Don't agree at all. I had the same injury (as a non football player) and it's hideous. Took me 6 months to recover but it was eventually okay. Up until the injury he was by far our best and fittest player. He has been rushed back, granted and I think we probably should have played Morrison but how fit is Morrison really after quite a major op. Cook has played through the pain but it's well known that he is the fittest athlete in the club so I don't agree he's finished. Does he need a break, yes. If we'd been 5-6 points better off I think he would have been given it.
Frey is not fit but stepping up to try and do a shift. If any of our other strikers were fit he wouldn't actually be ready top play, but needs must and we have to credit him for actually putting himself forward to play, because he's not ready.
I think Marti is a bit generous to Koki on the red. Sadly it was and Koki knew it was the moment he landed it. Shame as I really like him but that could be a 3 game ban sadly. At least Dembele is back.
Otherwise, I think he was disappointed we couldn't hold on to win it but also but more pleased with a team putting in a shift at last and also with so many injuries. 2 weeks to get some of this team back!
Great goals from us. Their first goal looked fine to me. Can't see an offside. Second goal is unfortunate but I thought we had some good chances and didn't let our heads dropped.
Koki knew it was a red immediately. Didn't really need to do it but a real shame. No complaints.
Overall though I thought we did much better today and they played like they cared.
I have the last 10 seconds of The Beatles playing Day Tripper on Top Of The Pops in 1966 with Pete Murray at the end. All the tapes of that time were wiped, apart from 90 seconds of Paperback Writer, which exists on standard 8, shot by a kid at the time in Barnsley off his parent's TV. Plus this little gem that only me, the family and another restoration expert have.
My first proper girlfriend had previously dated Joe Strummer. He dumped her at JFK airport on one of their tours. She was a beautiful girl. Sadly she dumped me, although not at a glamorous airport.
I do like when he says that he wants the fans to come angry and disappointed. I am sure they can and stay that way into the evening tomorrow. I know what he meant but it is funny.
Otherwise, he's optimistic as always but also realistic. I like that he doesn't get too low or too high so let's just hope for one of those miracle QPR games tomorrow where armed with half a team, Jude the cat up front and perhaps a raffle for several season ticket holders to play as the holding midfield duo that we actually get an unlikely win out of this one. God we need it!
You look back at players like Adel, Buzz, even Faurlin and Freeman and these were all players that had that bit of magic or a pass that seemed two passes ahead as a playmaker and we really are lacking. You look at a player like Bannan at Sheff Weds and you wonder just how much better we would be with a player of that vision in out team week in week out.
