I actually said to my lad it seems weird clapping a player sent off . You are way over the top on this by the way imo . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit to everyone in the crowd doing what they could to help him through that. He has a long term future with the club and needs to be nurtured as best we can. I’m pleased the crowd played a part in that today. If you put it like that then yeah credit to them I just didn't feel like it at the time.

We were dross again today but at 1-0 down any team with 11 men on the pitch have a chance of a draw or even a win. Ridiculous some of our fans. Why is monk hanging the kid out to dry, by exposing him in the toxic home atmosphere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binky Griptite Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Two 'definite' yellow cards. But similar Reading challenges went unpunished so whilst by many people bar (including mine) the sending off was deserved it was at odds with the way the ref otherwise penalised challenges.

Monk was right to take him out of the firing line after the Blackburn horror show from him in the first half. Plenty of fans were asking him to be brought back in, it appears Monk can't make a right call at the minute, even if it's what the fans want to see. The first yellow was harsh but the decision to go in for that second tackle was horrendous, blatant yellow. I also found the booing of their player ridiculous, he nearly took his leg off. For me we need to get Fox back ASAP and give the lad more game time under less pressure to give him a fighting chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monk has gone out of his way to keep him out of the firing line/the side(Barsnley, Iorfa at RB - Luton, change of system) and people were banging on about bringing him back in. He'd spent some time out of the side after struggling at home in the first half vs Blackburn, but he'd done well away at Leeds and Brighton, so I think it was fair enough to bring him in after Monk's other setups hadn't worked last week.

Good point, first yellow possibly a bit harsh, second yellow blatant. However there were far worse challenges from Reading that were worse than his first, extra frustrating.

Seems like a genuine kid He was abysmal at home to Blackburn so took him out of the firing line for a while which was the right thing to do. I think with Fox back (hopefully) we'll see him again when we're playing better, if that ever happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ref did not book every player for using their hands, but this always going to be given. Our defenders particularly, Iorfa, Odubajo and Urgohide need to learn how to contain players without jumping in, then using their hands when the player gets away.
