I'd be surprised if you get many takers on this board for thinking we'd be better off with Meyler in the team, but I think your point is absolutely correct. On recent performances mind I would have rather he was in for Ndiaye than Huddlestone.

I'd play Meyler at RB to be honest... He likes to get forward and frankly we struggle to get players forward. My centre mid pairing would be N'Diaye and Evandro, but if he's not fit, stick Clucas in there. He did it earlier this season exceptionally.

Grosicki or Clucas on the left, Markovic on the right, Niasse and Hernandez up top together at all times. Failing that just make sure we have two up top, even if it means Bowen stepping in.

Need to just go for it now. In every game. GD is ****ed anyways so we might as well go out and give it a real go rather than more games where we hardly get a shot off.
 
Except he didn't hit the target with a **** effort. I think all this board apart from you then would have been surprised if we'd scored a goal. We looked nothing like scoring.
We barely troubled them all game


Like i said agree to disagree ... My mind wont be changed. So everyone on here apart from me would have been surprised if we had scored this afternoon?

Just a thought and this isn't player bashing as there are so many culpable of the same comment... but how many goals 'should' Sam Clucas have scored this year, or indeed last year.
 
When an opposing manager for once comes out and says the referee ****ed up and that the sure in no way reflects the game then the LRA association need to take a long hard look. Theres too much money for card happy referees to be in charge of Premiership matches. If you look at this pricks record it averages sort of 5 yellows a game, thats a referee who is not in control of football game. I guarantee, the biggest certainty of all time, he will not be officiating next weekend.
 
I wonder if the Professional Game Match Officials (refs) have regular 'team meetings' and their stats are analysed by their 'General Manager' (Mike Riley - FFS) and feedback given?

Mike Riley : 'It's like this Paul, you're doing a steady job like, but I notice you've not dished out any red cards this season. Is there a reason for this?'

Paul Tierney : 'Well I like to let the games flow. Don't want to appear too fussy, or a jobsworth, you know. Don't want to be noticed, get positive comments from Al, Links, Wrighty and the boys on MOTD'

Mike : 'Hmmmmm. I think you need to stamp your authority a bit more. Show them who is boss. Forget MOTD they are the enemy'

Paul : 'What do you suggest? More yellows, because two yellows = red'

Mike : 'Think Red Paul. Red. Who have you got this weekend? Ah, a big club against Hull Tigers. They've had quite a few penalties and red cards already this season, up before the F.A. for disgraceful scenes against Arsenal the other week. They're out of control Paul, maybe need to crack the whip Paul'

Paul : 'I will Mike, I will. The dirty Yorkshire bastards, I'll sort em, you just watch'

Mike : 'Good lad. We want big clubs in the Premier League like Newcastle and the mahoosive Sheffield Wednesday. None of these upstarts'

Paul : 'Right. City of Culture bastards, I'll have them'

That's all.

I missed a few mins of the first half but apart from offsides, I didn't see the ref/linesmen give us a free kick until the second half.

Not saying it will, but a 3 match ban for Hudd could relegate us.
