Any news on if Hayden's gonna be fit yet? I think he was 50/50 last time I checked, Colback almost fit (please stay crocked), Gayle probably out (come back, we need you!), Mbemba doubtful (can't remember the last time you played anyway), Aarons crocked long term (surprise sur-****ing-prise) and Vern out for another month or so (he would be useful right now. So, the best we can hope for is summat like this: --------------------------------Darlow----------------------------------- Dummett--------------Laecelles-------Clark--------------Yedlin --------------------------------Hayden-------------------------------- -----------------Ritchie------Shelvey-------Atsu------------------ -------------------------------Diame---------------------------------- ------------------------------Murphy--------------------------------- can Ritchie and Atsu both play together? I dunno, always seems to be one or the other, Ritchie is playing well atm, but Atsu needs to be back in the team.
We have to by the law of averages get a referee that isn't rabidly anti-NUFC yes, they aren't all as bad as the disgraceful atrocious ars*hole "Stephen Martin" and his idiot linesman, but we are yet to get a fair division of spoils from referees decisions. A clue in the penalties given considering most of the play and incidents have been in rivals penalty boxes. The rival players even seem to think they're ENTITLED to ridiculous penalties after Martin's lunacy at Nutts Furriest - witness that Derby keeper grabbing Lascelles and dragging him down and demanding a penalty last week ! Still ranting at end of game. We couldn't believe anyone would be that convinced their stupidity could con a ref - even though Martin gave two pens for less But how many pens have we had this season ? 2-3 ? And the anti-NUFC has been almost as bad at home too. The Sheff Wed defeat - two occasions where Gayle was physically pulled down by TWO defenders - surely we should start getting a few decisions going OUR way in this league ? How many convenient pens have Brighton got when needing a breakthrough or an equalizer ? A helluva lot more than us thats for damn sure. One thing IS sure though. It won't be today - Wolves fans will be screaming for a penalty when the captains shake hands before kick off.......
By a nose, maybe. Murphy is a lot smarter though. And that doesn't say a whole lot. I'd love to know what Mitro is doing in this game that Murphy can't. Backing into players, losing the ball, looking at the man instead of the ball, fouling his man, Hollywood passes to nobody.
We have started bad.. mitro on a yellow is a crash waiting to happen. Can someone please tell colback he is a footballer and that the aim is to kick the ball to a one of our own players.
Sometimes when people say Ritchie is good at tracking back I think "what the **** have you been watching". No finer example than that just now. Just points to the player for someone else to pick him up.
