Doesn't always work like that. If the do go up McCabe and the Poundland prince won't spend (maybe build another hotel or apartment block) they will foo what they did last time and struggle. Then after relegation sell anyone of value and struggle again. Promotion last time round cost them 6 years in league 1.

Palmer has been so solid this month. Fletcher came alive later in the month for me.

Fully agree with this it appeared to me that Thorniley also left the ball or wasn't interested did he hear a shout from somewhere?

Fox was left to play both full back and left wing today. Boyd simply played in no man's land and went missing both defensively and attacking. You look at the otherside of the pitch where reach and Palmer had a good understanding. Reach stayed wide leaving Palmer space to come underneath him. He would then fill in the gap left to provide cover. On the left Boyd left no space out wide or never went wide enough to leave space inside for fox to overlap and never covered his fullback. Criticism of fox in this game is massively unjust. 2 great tackles and an important block. When the ball went out of play yes he let it go but did he know he had been flagged offside? He may not be the long-term answer but with the invisible Man in front of him I suspect nobody will be. Well played yesterday Morgan Fox keep up the improvement and hardwork of the last few weeks.

If true £3m for a player who has missed 50% of last two seasons priorto this through injury is a no brainer. A quality player but injury's do count.

What I want I the person that is less than 2 yards from the incident to make the decision rather than relying on the bloke 20 or 30 yards away looking through a crowd to guide him. I agree the right decision needs to be made but all to often we are waiting for a ref who has the poorest view.

So why not fit them in the stand and make it clear only the ref will make a decision? No point in having them if they can't influence the game by making a decision to assist the ref

This is my point. I'm not talking about refs I'm talking about assistants/linesmen there to assist the ref but never make the simple decisions sometimes even checking to see a ball has crossed the line with a bloke 40yards away looking through a crowd. I agree it's refs don't give the decisions but they don't have support from those around them either

Consistency I all you ask and the assistants are supposed to assist with this. Events they can clearly see they should step in and make decisions/provide guidance. Otherwise let them sit in the stand

I've seen and heard the refs getting loads of stick recently and in some cases it's fully deserved. My biggest issue though is with those running the line. In some cases they are either total inept or under clear instructions not to give decisions till after they are given by the ref. Come one watching the ref before signaling for corners, throw in's and offside decisions. Grow a pair and give a decision if the ref overrules fine but at least make a decision and earn your wages

am I missing something or is that a 2 man midfield so 3-2-3 or do bannan and hutch count as two men?

This for me and we've not had the easiest of starts playing some strong teams (even though some such as stoke are struggling). We are still only 6 off top sport and have some of the theoretically easier games to come

being a leeds fan he's probably not bothered about that game

Sat on the front row before and all you can see are the players boots

from the Kop clear red studs up and high. followed through had to go. Any appeal would be frivolous Interesting how this one looked very different from around the ground through
