Match Day Thread Middlesbrough Vs Norwich

[RiverEndRick]

This is a disaster. A match we were leading comfortably now losing. Sainz out for 3 matches with no obvious replacement.

Possibly 4 matches as it’s his second red?

 

[SuffolkCanary]

Not the best game to throw him in but might be time to blood Welch in the first team, we might need him over the coming weeks

They said 3 after second red on commentary.

Having a player sent off doesn't mean you have to lose your heads and become a shambles. Where's the leadership -- from the touchline and on the field?

Pathetic decision, yellow at worst & could cost us a chance of a play off spot if Sainz misses 3/4 games.

I doubt appealing it will do anything

Agreed the defence has gone to pot, Hanley hasn’t been good enough since coming back from injury in my opinion.

Now the boys need to use the injustice of that red card as fuel to drive this second half revival!

Come on you yellows!!!

ON THE BALL CITY!!!

Thanks for that, SC. Sainz didn't straighten his legs like he was trying to kick Howson. It's probably worth the club contesting the red at this point.

I highly doubt it will be overturned, they do everything they can to protect their refs and it has to be a case of no contact at all if they were to rescind it

Enough to put us out of the playoff chase

 

[SuffolkCanary]

For me Sarge needs to go back up top, Barnes doesn’t have the pace to threaten and press to keep their defensive line busy.

McCallum could come on and go left wing?

 

[DUNCAN DONUTS]

The smug ref looks pleased with himself

 

[DUNCAN DONUTS]

4 game ban leading to 5 if we appeal

 

[SuffolkCanary]

Hanley looking a real liability

 

[SuffolkCanary]

4 game ban leading to 5 if we appeal

Only if it’s a frivolous appeal

 

[DUNCAN DONUTS]

It was a ****ing frivolous straight red

I'm not so sure. If he was simply spinning on the ground, contact would be with the back of Howson's legs. But it looks as if his left foot is planted against the side of Howson's thigh -- that's certainly where Howson indicates when he shows Madeley the damage.
[Edit] "Right foot" not left

He’s looking down at his leg for where Howson made contact not looking at Howson
