Nah I didn`t Neil...………………….which makes tonight all the more frustrating.

Dawson - 6 No chance with goals but looked very shaky again, senseless to ignore it as well Palmer - 5 No shortage of effort but distribution awful (this will be a recurring theme) Lees - 4 Stinker Hector - 5 Some saying he played well, I didn`t see it personally Thorniley - 4.5 Poor Pelupessy - 6 Plenty of effort, distribution poor Bannan - 6 Way below his best and looked very frustrated Reach - 6 Very sloppy in possession tonight, gets extra point for goal Penney - 4 For the first time he was well below par and that's being kind, poor decision making and very lethargic, would benefit from a little spell out maybe (like Dawson) Fletcher - 6 Battled hard but never looked dangerous Joao - 4 Offered nothing Nuhiu - 6 Offered more in 20 mins than Joao did in 70 OVERALL Cant believe we were as pi$$ poor as we were tonight and only made ONE substitution (why no Hutchinson on bench ?) We were fresh off a two week break and looked like we had played 4 games in 8 days, passing was abject and the lack of urgency alarming, and the sad thing is they were no great shakes. Finally I hope all the footballing sophistos who say we are a better "team" without FF were watching closely tonight.

Andy Pearce kissing the sponsors name and Worthington`s rabona.............aaah the memories.

Yeah....doing that stupid wide open mouthed bellow every verse end whilst wearing the club shop.

Sky news understands brexit is to blame.....

Be interesting to see if Sam Hutchinson figures in the matchday squad.

It`s your site Neil and you can generate traffic how you see fit , and equally you perfectly entitled to your opinion on players but i think you are being a bit disingenuous here mate. If the threads and posts you have made about FF this season are anything to go by then i dont think he is a player you really like, and once again that`s fine. The impression you give is of being a big Athde fan but FF ?.........mmm not so much , now is this for real or are you just playing devils advocate ? , only one person knows , but if the above IS true then i have just one question , why , after the Leeds game did you agree with a post by owlerton ghost that FF was "all at sea" was "not a team player" and most unbelievably "had no skill" ?

Pulis is one of those annoying managers that gets changed into FULL training kit....................to stand on the sidelines.

Dawson - 6 Couple of good saves, one horrible flap first half and Pudil rescued him second half when he came off his line when he shouldn't. He is a good young keeper but there would be no shame in letting Wildsmith take over for a little while (would prefer Westwood but hey ho) He is really young to be dealing with this pressure week in , week out and it may do him more harm than good to keep picking him when he is not at his best.....will probably get negged for that but I wont be bullied into not giving my opinion. What i posted in match ratings tread.

Palmer - 5.5 Was doing alright until stupidly dawdling on the ball which led to penalty. Lees - 6.5 Steady game Hector - 7.5 Impressive again Pudil - 6.5 Did OK Thorniley - 5.5 Gave the ball away an awful lot Reach - 6.5 Bit of a mix...…….missed a good early chance , some good stuff, some sloppy stuff Bannan - 6.5 Not at his best but did OK Penney - 6 Surprised to see him start tbh and no idea what position he was supposed to be playing but got better as game went on and proved his worth yet again Onomah - 7 Improving all the time Fletcher N/A SUBS Joao - 6.5 What a strange game......missed a glorious chance and up to him scoring watching him trying to control the ball was like watching a dog chasing a balloon., but first goal seemed to wake him up and scored a good second and finally starting causing them problems Forestieri - 6.5 Ridculous decision to bench him IMHO , came on and played his part Pelupessy - 6 Came on and gave the ball away too much but redeemed himself with a couple of vital tackles

In a nutshell...........EVERY team in the world has to sell at some stage and that kind of money would substantially ease FFP worries and maybe allow us to re invest in a couple of new players.

Copied from the Hutch - Jones thread Boyd and Jones are symptomatic of the awful nature of some of the signings CC made since Wembley and have no future at the club so I think JL is bang right to include youngsters rather than these two. I don`t however include Hutchinson in this , not sure where he is at fitness wise but if he IS ready then he should be included in the match day squad and the people who glibly dismiss him must have very short memories.

Kevin Hector , Keith Weller , Stan Bowles , Paul Reaney , Paul Warhurst , Laurie Cunningham, Cyrille Regis etc

Here is one for the old uns to contemplate...................Jake Livermore has as many England caps as Alan Hudson, Charlie George, and Peter Osgood COMBINED !!!
