No we don't get anywhere near him all game hence he scores 2 goals against us. This was tactically naive, any other team would have had the experience and gamesmanship to get nasty against him. We are too nice and tactically clueless time to say bye and Thanks for all you've done LJ but we won't go any further with you in charge Doesn't that risk a red card for the side doing that these days?

Don’t often praise opposition players but the lad Ozzed class. What a snip at £1.5 million when u consider the money we’ve blown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were too tight? Genuinely didn’t think he was that great. Just was in the right position every time for his goals.

I agree with you. I call it ‘streetwise’ but there you go ... we are way too nice as you say, soft and naive when it comes to the robust side of the game, it ain’t cheating, it’s part of the game ...

Given how we've been prone to being unduly penalised and especially since last April, I dunno how well that holds. Interesting when watching back on Quest, part of the commentary/analysis unless I misheard, it said that Williams had been frustrated by Watkins. Who is to say that eg one of our defenders kicking Watkins up in the air wouldn't have resulted in a straight red? Modern game and our track record especially! Worth reminding you (and everyone else) in the last 6-7 months when off season excluded: 1) Aston Villa away. Goal very questionably disallowed and they get a joke of a pen. That's two or one bare minimum. 2) Derby at home. Semenyo straight red. For what?? Two or three. 3) Preston Away. Multiple. Multiple debating points but one of their goals- possibly their 3rd which was the equaliser with their guy climbing all over our defender. Three or four! 4) WBA away. Their 3rd and 4th both evidently offside. Five or six! 5) Sheffield Wednesday away. We didn't deserve anything, they were better but the penalty was a bit of a gift! And that's just the ones I immediately recall! Between 5 and 7... Being cute sounds like it wouldn't be much use to us, probably get us more howlers really. Something that posters such as @westonred perhaps fail to factor in. Some of these decisions personally don't give me much hope about how well we get or will get away with the dark arts!

From the start yesterday I had this feeling, couple of blatant pushes and when Fam got dragged to the ground then penalised for holding the blokes shirt! Anyway Watkins. Didn’t Exeter want £750k to £1m from us when we enquired, then accepted £500k when Brentford came in? Might be misremembering but I recall something like this.

Took Diedhiou a while to win anything much...but then he often does, refs don't give him much. Yes I recall something similar too, reading about it on here (the underlying story, specifically numbers wise unsure) but they did try and charge us more didn't they? At least as I've seen on here before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
