    I think he had a flashback to a couple of seasons ago when West Brom brushed past him and scored. Warnock done his nut! This time he recovered and broke up the play, as you said, three times. That fighting spirit could make the difference for him.
    I did think that he had a poor first half though.

    I admit i like the banter with the away fans ... lets be honest all fans to LR puff out their chests a bit ... its part of the passion ... its all hang bags haven't seen fists flying for a long time. They got a taste Saturday of what it's like when LR rocks and it does ... It still real football you see hence the old ways still are present. The entire block i was in reacted in a awful way when they scored making direct threats to any Wednesday player ... and you know what it was affecting them a little. LR is a unique tight football ground.

    The crowd play their part and so may it continue. Last year a Villa fan lost it big time above me and tried to jump into the fans on X block ... he was wrestled out

    Away fans are great .. it's about give and take but not watching the game is very stupid

    Agree he is a confidence player without ... hope he builds on that second half and starts to believe in himself again as there were so many games two/three years ago when you could see he knew he was the best on the pitch ... He can do it

    Again my MOTM, thinking of the 3 tackle sequence he made, still brings a little smile to my face, commitment.

    Not wanting to Hijack but I thought the crowd were very subdued until we scored, perhaps just a nervous start to the season and why did it take so long to get rid of the flare, elf and safety gone mad.

    Here's footage of the three Faurlin tackles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ie9k6ac_n0

    Granero wouldn't have attempted any of those challenges.

    Mbia would have attempted all three but would have drawn a foul with at least one of the challenges, without a doubt!

    Thats how football should be, there would have been at least one foul for Faurlins tackle and a yellow and maybe even red for the Henry one in the PL.

    I was expecting to see Mbia featured though.

    Was watching online and it kept showing a SW fan who was paying no attention to the match but continually giving the wonker sign to the Rangers fans. Quite amusing but made him look like a nob for not watching the match.

    I would like to see Mbia in Henry's place, in a line-up like this....

    It was meant to be a joke about his apparent "top tackle"

    Didn't see anything wrong with the Henry tackle, even it had been PL.

    "excessive force" is a red card so now theyve outlawed strong tackles. There was nothing wrong with the 2 penalty shouts but wed have been down two goals and had 9 men in the PL.
