    Yeah, with a nine sub bench, there's really no justifiable reason to be leaving Charles out.

    Preferably leave out Mara. But failing that, rotate between which attacking option gets left out. We have seven options to play across that front three, which is clearly more than is necessary to be in a matchday squad.

    I don’t get Mara. He has become significantly worse!

    That was an exciting finish, although I had an inkling we would score from that corner when my son sent me a text saying “OMG, sit down, incoming”. Guessing he had turned his score alerts on, thinking that the game was over.
    Good to see that so many of you kept the faith and didn’t piss your pants and post expletive loaded posts. <laugh>

    I'm really hoping that the decision on 42 minutes to switch Kyle back to RB remains permanent. He looked so uncomfortable playing at LB. And he's the best RB in the league.

    Does Bazunu have abnormally short arms? It looks like any normal arm-length man would have reached that second one.

    Lol exactly what I am doing now as just got back :)

    My post of 'Scenes' earlier was all I could type at the game at the time.

    What made that Watford goal worse there was VAR I do believe.

    No there wasn't - it was in 2018.

    I don't think he was offside. Looked behind the ball on the replay. Could be wrong though

    Bringing on rothwell would have been more of a goal threat.

    I think Mara should be loaned out to L1 or a poor championship team where he can play 90 minutes every week.

    Nor do I think it was offside unless the rules have been changed since I last played!

    Thing is mate, these posters just don't have the patience. It was obvious to me that Martin was going to pull it out of the bag, there was never any doubt. We've got a shrewd quality manager there. Can't believe people were moaning :bandit:

    Mathematically speaking, we are basically guaranteed 4th spot (goal difference aside). That should take off some pressure for the boys.
    Nothing to lose, plenty to gain.

    Yeah, bringing on Mara is such a waste of a sub. I really thought a season at this level would do him some good, but I'm just not seeing it to be honest.

    Would rather Dibling take his bench place tbh...
