At 1st I thought they both went in hard, so the combined force and angle of impact caused the break. But actually, Shilow didn't go in very hard at all. So almost all the force came from Mayor.
I can't make my mind up on the challenge for the Tracey leg break. Until this morning, I thought 50/50 and it was just a freak accident. But having thought about it and watched the replay a few times, I think there is an argument for excessive force. His action caused Shilow's ankle to quite...
I've watched the extended highlights now. I didn't realise just how bad he played. He put in a pathetic attempted challenge on Tabiner for the Tracey sitter on 5 mins, he fucked up for the 1st goal, Tracey took it off him for the Tabiner 1 on 1 and he gave it away for the Bogle sitter at the end.
I meant composure in terms of your mentality. Heads went down I thought, on the pitch and in the dugout.
You're right about your defence tho. Those 2 CHs have no pace, either.
One dimensional and lacking any real composure, which I put down to your managers temperament. How your players are supposed to keep a level head with him acting like that on the sidelines, I have no idea.
It really is bizarre that he's allowed to ref Salford. I seem to remember there was a Facebook post from him at Wembley with his family supporting them against (I think) Wrexham.
As for Crewe yesterday. Lowery is a game changer, and is already transforming our midfield. Tabiner is clearly a...
If he had given the pen and a yellow card, he would have been praised for having the balls to give it. Far too much of that nonsense in the box gets ignored, and defenders should be punished for it. But the red card has completely undone his good work.
We've been poor recently, so I think even if he wasn't sent off, we would have more than likely lost the game.
I usually laugh off poor officiating, because it's just part of lower league football. A lot of the players and managers are pretty shit, so it stands to reason some of the ref's will...
If the ball was going directly at the strikers head, then it's a red card. However, I think it's unclear where the ball is even going. Penalty, yellow card is the only sensible decision, imo.
I suspect Crewe's recent run of form is more reflective of us than when we were 2nd in the League. You can't sustain an automatic promotion push if you don't score many goals.
Ng, Wintle, Pickering and Dale are all playing in the Championship. There has been talk of Premier League interest in Ng over the past year.
I actually think Lowery is the best of the lot, but injuries have held him back.
Artell actually refused to play Lowery for the first few months of our...
I'm no physio so could be talking complete shite, but I wonder if the 6 month break will actually help him, and has allowed his body to recover? I believe he's been training with your 1st team and hasn't missed a session through injury all season, and he's played in some behind closed doors...
