    To think back to where we were 3 years ago to now. Absolute incredible. Very very proud.

    Didn’t make it today but did have a chuckle watching soccer Saturday seeing us chasing down the play offs when ‘Tom Flanagan red card’ came up on the ticker

    Todays ref was the same one as the Bolton away 6-0 game. Chalk and cheese even from then only about 15 month or so ago I think.

    I thought their No18 was easily the best player on the pitch today. Initially I thought it was a sending off but have only seen it the once and then I thought how could he get out of the way.

    Was 100% a yellow for Cirkin and a second one to go the journey. IMO anyway.

    He is normally quality 1v1 but Chong ripped him a new one today. The second yellow was because he was so uncomfortable, he didn't step out and instead stepped across square. That's pure obstruction, he didn't play any ball either. Yellow ever day of the week.

    I know that Chong is rated, first time watching today for me. Looks to have a lot to offer.

    Chong came through at Man Utd and is a good player, I thought he had Cirkin done pretty much all game tbh.
    Brum also have Hannibal on loan from Utd which was why there was a bit of a laugh with Amad at the final whistle

    If Man Utd want the best out of Amad they need to sign Roberts for 100 billion dollar's

    I agree entirely, I said he was walking as soon as he committed the foul. He struggled all afternoon with Chong, who is very one sided but very pacy

    Yeah I said he must be fast if he's making Cirkin look slow. Their wingers were both pacey and direct but they didn't have much else as a team.

    I do agree with that but I wouldn't write off someone with Cirkins ability just because he has come up against an absolute speed merchant like Chong. (I'm not saying you are writing him off btw <cheers>), he had a tough afternoon and will learn from it.
