Who would you play for the other half of the season when hutch is in the treatment room or suspended?

Was there statement from the PFA advising their members not to agree a federal or freeze without their agreement? Sure I saw that somewhere just can't remember where.

was the timing seen as a natural break with both being out of the team? Maybe not the best timining maybe not the right way to do it.

I'd have to agree with this. The issue is not that they are injured now but that they are consistently missing large chunks of every season through injuries. How many times has Westwood for example pulled up in warm ups and missed the next 3 or 4 werks over the years. Are they the players that would make the difference who knows. Is Monk the right man man for the job not sure.

I'm going 4 2 3 1 with da Cruz or windass trying to link up to Wickham

Not only is there the question around officials being held accountable but what about the Blackburn players over reaction which would have potentially affected the refs decision

No I said some people's bar was to avoid relegation

Not setting the bar low at all. I look at it with half a season left automatic is 10 points off. If we go on a good run we can hit that. For me though changing the manager will not help that as a club we must get some stability prior to Christmas the fan base was raving about monk now he must be sacked. I'm happy for promotion either auto or thrpught he playoffs. We set the bar at the end of this season and must improve next. Year on year progress not lose one week.(dreadful performance included) and change everything. Constant change does not make for improvement

Some people just love to moan and complain. The playoffs are realistic still. Start of the season people where just wanting the season to still be alive and us safe from relegation after the Bruce affair. Monks done well he needs to sort the inconsistency but give him time he's had less then 6 months and no transfer window

That simply doesn't make sense. What's the agenda here that the chairman affects the performance of the players is rubbish. If he had spent nothing and we had an understrength team that was incapable of winning I could understand blaming the chairman.

Yes we didn't turn up and who knows how the game would have gone with 11 Vs 11. The fact we was none existent as a team though doesn't excuse inept officials. We didn't deserve anything and after that performance in any other job the players and officials would be lucky to get paid never mind keep their jobs. There was a number of examples of extremely poor officiating including the "elbow" incident and the foul by nuhiu when he came on. My particular favourite was the you can't take a quick freekick as winalls putting his boot back on quickly followed by yes go quick whilst I give the fullback a lecture .

How far was the walk from the car park?

From those options nuhiu real answer none of the above bring in some raw pace (Murphy seems to have lost the ability to run so no point trying him) Fletcher and nuhiu at least pose a different question to what team normally meet and is a good option away from home or when you want the ball to be held up. At home we need some one who can play on the shoulder of a big centre forward. Win all wants to come deep rather than do whats needed. Rhodes just doesn't cut it and both need moving on

Absolute passenger today sat way to deep and didn't get hold of midfield

Good luck to him he needs game time and not getting it. Up to some of the youngsters to step up as 4th choice is there anybody in the wings? Wasn't rice touted last year?
