    A forward pass to a player who had only one defender, perhaps even none, between him and the goal line = Offside.

    Had family around so only had it on in the background.. Definitely have a good account of ourselves and could easily have won that same..
    Our setup, organisation and tactics against decent sides are spot on imo, we just need to sort out when we come up against lesser opposition..
    Well done Liam and the team..

    Early days but I'd like to see Roberts play in our last few games in central defence.
    We may have a 'player'.

    What a waste by Sykes on that break. I have to say, Sykes has not been the same player since his return from injury. The jury is still out on Twine for me. Yes he has a good delivery in him, but his finishing is poor.

    Not on what I’ve seen of him. We already have Knight as an Att Mid who can’t finish, we don’t need another one.

    I can't see any chance of us spending 5 million on Twine as I think he would end up being a reincarnation of HNM. Roberts has impressed me as much as anybody and I'm not a fan of either Cornick or Mehmeti as neither has shown me a reason to keep them. I think our team play has improved under Liam and perhaps if he is allowed input into who we sign then we may have a slight chance of a better campaign next season.

    I agree, unless we get him cheap.

    The one I want to sign again is Joe Williams, we'd need to spend at least £5million to replace him, a proven Championship midfielder.

    Slightly left field but Sykes has not performed well recently and seems daft but Sykes never plays the right ball to McCrorie, it's under hit, over hit or not at all.
    Is he concerned McCrorie will take that/his position next season ?

    Not really an attacking midfielder though. Look at the past 6 games when he’s along side one other midfielder centrally he’s great. Push him forward when James and Williams played together like the Huddersfield game not very good at all.

    I made the trek to Norwich - took over7.5 hours of travelling to get back to rural Dorset on Sunday - 4 trains and 2 buses!!!

    It took 7 hours on the way up - a tree fell on the overhead electrical line - spent 2 hours held at Ipswich!!

    All worth it though - great beer - great result - great performance

    We were in line with their goal - have not seen a replay, but in real life I thought it was onside

    Glad you had a great, albeit extended day.
    As for the offside decision, it did look tight but the Linos are usually in the best position.
