    Seems to happen week after week where one of our players goes tearing down the wing and gets chopped down every time. It's rare that we actually get away from these cheats, and even rarer that the opposition player gets booked for doing it. That first half was the most cynical I have seen from an away side in ages and Ulloa - the biscuit well and truly taken!

    Never mind that he did foul after foul, mostly in the first half, and only managed to get booked once. I think that was for dissent though. But did you notice how he gave the ref no respect whatsoever by walking away knowing he was getting a yellow. Strong refs stand their ground, blow their whistle until the offender comes back for his card and talking to. This idiot just followed meekly behind the player and timidly waved the card to the man's back. About as shocking a bit of refereeing as you are likely to see, until of course the Etuhu incident.

    As others have said his first yellow seemed a bit harsh, but I would need to see that again to be sure. The second was just Kelvin taking one for the team, which is a big shame considering how he had not fouled anyone all game until then. Or at least, I don't think he did.

    Big shame we are missing him for a game because I don't rate Jack Hunt at all. He is not up for this challenge, and may not even be fit. I would drop McLaughlin back there to fill in and then perm any one from half a dozen as to who goes in midfield next game.
