Barnsley beat Blackburn 2-0 and Wigan beat Stoke 3-0 tonight - our next 2 opponents. Both will be scratching for points like Luton tonight. We looked better with Pablo on second half, but that’s a criticism rather than a compliment, no one can come on and win it for you every game. Without him we have no confidence and no creativity.
No chance Bielsa will change the team, but Alioski and Hernandez have got to be pushing for starts at the weekend. Costa and Bamford/Roberts can drop out. All three were poor today, Harrison too.
Jesus that was close. I knew these last few weeks were going to be tough but 23 shots on goal against 3 and we still don't win makes it really bad viewing...not that I watched it as too much stress on the old ticker. Still top for the week but Brentford really pushing hard. Please don't crumble. At least we didn't lose!!!!!!
terrible finishing and placing of our many shots.how many more times are we supposed to stick up for bamford just because he makes lovely runs.
WBA lose tomorrow and it will be OK, would you have taken 6 clear of third with 6 to go when we restarted ? I would have.
Here’s a strange one. Commentator said our fourth substitute was illegal. Hopefully not so or that point might be in jeopardy
why did skint rads not invest in a striker in January surely must have been one available.the loaning of Augustin is bizzare and mahes no sense.where is he and if he can train why not on the bench . it,s no good bielsa shunning him it,s goals we need not bloody fancy triangular passing which has now being snubbed out .
That's because he is thinking that clubs can only make substitutions on 3 separate occasions, forgetting that subs made during half time interval don't count towards that limit, so nothing to worry about at all Edit : Eire has already posted this himself as I was typing my response
Don’t understand mate, and why did the ref allow it if it was illegal? **Thanks Eire/Aski, get it now.
Well that was sort of predictable in a way... 11/2 the draw so I hope all you wise owls filled your boots
Not trying to put another dampener on a crap evening but we're effectively only 5 points ahead of Brentford cos their GD is way better than ours
Was there any contact at all? I didn't see any. Cooper apparently claimed it was a dead leg, though, when he spoke to Ben whatsisname at half time. The thing is, it was his arse that he was holding, unless I'm mistaken. He was holding exactly the same spot as I did myself when I had sciatica. If he did indeed take a hit, a consequence of damaging the sciatic nerve is that the pain shoots right down your leg, although you don't notice too much as you're waiting on the next jolt on your arse. Very painful & the jolts make you breathless. If he did take a hit on that nerve, they've got some work to do. It's completely debilitating, and even walking might be difficult. I don't hold out his hopes for Saturday if this is the case, unless they've got some right kinky painkillers..
