    Just seen a few replays and Ballard also dragged his man to the ground.

    I would go....
    Huggins off, 3 at the back.
    Jobe off for Pritchard.
    Hemir on for Huggins, play two up front.

    was a good half that, we were pretty much controling it and swansea were waiting for their chance sending off changed it.

    ekwah, good turn and the lad could not get out of the way, had he swung or gone in feet high/studs showing i would be spitting at the screen but i still feel it was unfair to the lad, deffo a free kick but i feel it was one of those where the ref has a chance to make a point, other than that officials have been ok.

    i know we will come out and play the same way but i would love us to come out and go straight for the jugular, right or wrong we have been given an advantage so go grab it.

    said it a few times, love onien but his habit of grappling with the attackers is likely to get a penalty...needs to stop.

    Aye, that was what the ref was ousting two fingers up to 09 for. Telling him there was two fouls. First time I saw the replay I thought 09 done the first then ran over and shoved the 2nd but it was Ballard.

    Neither of our lads were looking at the ball. Don't like it when defenders do that, mind you, it happens all the time and nowt gets done.

    It needs to stop all this wrestling bollocks like it could have and should have cost us there onien is very lucky not to have had atleast one yellow. But We’ve played some of the best football we’ve ever played in that half it’s mental how we aren’t a couple goals up.

    I'm going to assume he has a mild illness or slight knock and is being rested, something not important enough to disclose on social media. Matt Young is a real talent, but we paid £800k (officially undisclosed) for Bishop just a few months ago, he was considered a top prospect just 12-18 months ago.

    I’m not sure why we should rush to change. Created lots and they’ve now got ten men. But if no goal in 12-15 mins then the changes can come

    Huggins and Rusyn seem to have a decent turn of pace on them!

    Hope I’m not jinxing the lad but how good is it that Huggins has been able to have this run of games.

    Rusyn gives us a different dimension, great movement and clever runs

    Fulton on for Cullen - he’s trying to tighten things up?
