Always interesting to see this stuff. The (mild) surprise for me is I'd expect Patterson to be higher than 11, is it kicking accuracy or facing more shots that would bump him up do you reckon?

Think hes impacted by the start of the season stats, think he conceded a goal with 5 of the 6 shots on targets so thatll bring his rating down. Also his pass success with longer passes isnt as good as others so thatll impact him

Its never full proof with the ratings but youll normally always see the better players at the top of them

Yes but if Ekwah makes that challenge, the offside flag has to go up. Meaning their player is interfering. The rules are clear for me in that one. What if the flag goes up after he makes the challenge and the player he challenges injures him? It’s ridiculous for me. He knew he was offside and he went to play the ball. So
Our players stopped as we all knew he was off the linesman knew too.

Looking at pictures today he wasn't offside, Hume playing him on

Don't think he was offside mate, looking at the still that's just been posted he was onside and the lino was right in line of him and hume who played him on

That may be true ...

... doesn't excuse him being a dick for the rest of the game.

And I was told, this morning, the ref is a Mag from Carlisle ... haven't had time to check but the lad who messaged is 100%.

Yeah he might have got that 1 right but all the officials were bad again, heard that about the ref also. Don't know what the procedure is for mag supporting officials doing our games, it shouldn't be allowed though

Would you consider playing Burstow/Hemir and Rusyn with Jobe taking a break.

It might leave us too light in midfield, so if he decides to rest Jobe we would probably need another midfield player in there I look forward one day to seeing Adil playing up front with Rusyn , but that's probably some way off . In my opinion Hemir and Burstow are not quite ready for a team trying to get into the top six . Just my opinion based on what I have seen, imo.both

If it isn't punished it could become a tactic tbh.

An attacker can hang around in the opposition's half, distracting the keeper and defence, only to allow players to run past when the ball is hoofed upfield.

The Norwich player knew 100% he was offside but went deliberately for the ball ...

... therefore deliberately affecting the play <doh>

He was not offside, he is played on by ( I think) Hume on other side of pitch

Dunno if it's just me but I thought it was interesting that Burstow was kept on the bench yesterday and Hemir was brought on before him when he's been playing more regularly than both him and Rusyn lately

Nick Barnes on commentary said he stormed off down the tunnel at the final whistle as the rest of the players and staff celebrated.

Things about this match that haven't been mentioned.

  1. Ekwah's missile that the keeper could only parry into the danger area
  2. Clarke's shot that clattered the post
  3. Pop Robson at half time

Barnes can **** off as well. **** commentator. Hope Mowbray pulls him up about it in the next press conference if that's what he said.

Couldn't agree more.

There's nothing worse than people who make a living off the back of the club then try to make more money stabbing us in the back.

Did he actually say 'Stormed off'?
