Match Day Mega Thread

Earl is fast becoming one of my favourite players

 

He was immaculate again. Love the way he collects a ball, turns away from an attacker and then finds himself with plenty of time to play it forward. Funny how the handful of Fleetwood fans were booing him every time he touched it. Their loss, our HUGE gain

 

Looking forward to a crowd approaching 20,000 next week, safety concerns permitting. Bet it's closer to 16 though

 

Great three points on a $hit€ pitch and a seemingly biased referee. Take that all day long.

 

he did seem very keen to book our players, and fairly reluctant to book theirs, in contrast

 

Earl always seems to have that extra bit of time on the ball he’s looking a brilliant signing

 

In the first half it wasn't really working. The pitch was awful, the midfield was getting bypassed. McCart wasn't up to speed and was having a bad time. A well worked goal but cancelled out by a stunner the like of which they'll likely not score again all season.

Second half Barnsley really grew into it. Space started to open up. Another well worked goal. With a little more composure at key times Barnsley could have gone further ahead. Pines looked assured. He won everything in the air, as expected, but was also tested in a foot race, which he passed.

Overall the best performance for some matches.

 

Ref could easily have given a pen against Cole.

All our bookings were justified.

Nothing wrong with this ref.

We had a touch of extra class that shone just about sufficiently, despite the conditions.

Well done reds!

 

James Collins has done his ankle ligaments and is out for the season….

they’re also signing Dwight Gayle today

 

Gayle is *****, James Collins being out is bad news for them and great news for us.

 

Thought Fleetwood’s number 5 had a right game in midfield and ran the show at times , I wouldn’t mind him here.

 

He's a loan player from Celtic.

 

Great result!

HUGE game next week - a win would seriously put us in contention for the top 2.

 

On loan from Celtic apparently.

 

Thought first half it was quite even but second half we moved the ball a bit better and created chances easier. Another good away result and now on to the Derby game, which is a pretty “massive” game. Is it scarf day? It worked last season.

 

Bet your well chuffed with Cosgrove tonight pal, took his goal well and hopefully he will now kick on eh

 

Im not saying the cards weren’t justified, what I am saying is that there were times when he could/should have shown a card or 2 to the Fleetwood players.

 

Now you have said gayle is **** Watch him go and score next week.

 

Great win today against an awkward opponent in bad conditions. Derby’s last minute winner the only blot on the day.

 

You described him as "biased". And thus not refereeing fairly.

I disagree with that. Hence my post.

I thought he was fair to both sides.
