WOW those sort of games don't do my ticker any good,BPF what a save,as nothing wrong with penalty,but possibly one of the best penalty saves ive ever seen.now to look at rest of results,hoping Norwich lost
Young Jack is a bit raw but he doesn't lack any confidence, does he? We seem to carry a lot more threat when I've seen him come on this year, should be getting more game time from here on - Roofe should fill his boots with the crosses he puts in.
What strikes me is our loan players have been a bit of a waste of time and we just aren't clinical enough in front of goal but we won and are second in the table only 1 point behind the Canaries. Sounds like Saiz needs to return to the starting line-up and Baker might as well go back to Chelski.
I enjoyed that, some interesting points that Sky showed and mentioned. 1) We should have had a definite penalty when their player punched the ball out of play before it had actually crossed the line. 2) Douglas admitted BPF helped him out although the replays didn’t show it as a clear penalty. 3) Shackleton at 19 already has all his coaching badges. 4) When the aftermatch interview and MOM award was handed to Douglas, the pair walked towards the fans, BPF stepped back for Douglas to go first but Douglas insisted BPF take the applaud 5) BPF got a massive hug from one of the coaches and Rads was waiting in the tunnel for him, big hug from Rads too. 6) Alioski shouldn’t have dived but Goodman commentating wants shooting, you’d think Alioski had murdered someone, Goodman felt a yellow card wasn’t enough because “What if” the ref hadn’t seen it.... 7) We’ve won 9/9 when scoring first. My own thoughts, great double substitution although some greedy moments by Clarke and a few bad decisions but boy is he going to be great. We lost our shape when Klich went off but we deserved that win. Stats are crap, first half it said we had only one shot on target, well several that were classified as not on target were only not on target due to lunging tackles, lucky deflections and defenders throwing themselves in front of shots. Good to know that some of the Premierships hot emerging talent are not a patch on what we already have, Baker I forgot was playing. Great win, second in the league, Norwich slipping up to Hull shows there are no easy games
I had to go out early in second half - just before we scored But I listened to local radio in car - those Berkshire boys are biased. Apparently they were all over us in first half and should have been 2 up.
Just to add, in no particular order - 6 points from the last 2 when we're not playing well says a lot, but... 3 teams in a row have had a successful game plan against us First time I thought we looked a little less sharp towards the end of the game - Douglas admitted the penalty lunge was a "tired" challenge There was a bit of a Klich shaped hole on the edge of their area when he went off, no criticism but I thing young Jamie didn't have the positional nous to win as many 50/50 balls and needs help to grow into the role - definitely put us under more pressure going into the last 10 That's my take anyway. MOT
Looking forward to one of Ells famous polls personally. It has to be unbelievably close between Richmond’s and Butchers Choice for favourite Bacon and Sausages to go with our resident experts’ eggs after Dallas scores the winner and BPF saves the penalty. The only downside for me is we need consecutive losses for Eire to reappear- shame, nice fella
Like I said, Paddy, Mick or European? Tbh Shaks and Wannabe have bullied me into submission in understanding the situation
You’re trying to say we’re not going to see him again this season Has Whitejocks cruise ship sunk or is he sailing around the world?
Kev is cool but loves a moan. Tbf, genuine moan not a Wakefield moan for a reaction. WJ? Can’t say, all true opinions from my point of view but definitely a Union man, may feel his chum has been mistreated
