There’s always something odd going on behind the scenes there. Hopefully he’s been told Louza is being sold and fell out with the owner over it. |

I think Bennie was given instruction to play safe. Felt at times like he did so when he’d naturally have been more inclined to take it forwards and more than likely lose possession. Not sure yet what the kid is good at with the ball but if he grafts like that it’ll do. |

That save from Rushworth in the first half was truly magnificent. Paddy Kenny v Yakubu. Every time I see him he’s their best player and it was always going to take something special to beat him. Badly let down by his defence. Hope Brighton give him a chance and he kicks on as I think he could be a future England keeper. |

Harsh I think. He won the free kick getting himself in between the ball and defender outside the corner of the box and was reffed to a different standard to the other players after that. Can accept the penalty not being given if the ref judges it as Smyth moving his leg into the defender to make the contact (not sure that was the case but in the moment it looked plausible) but the one at the end of the first half near the corner flag was pathetic refereeing. |

My view from the LL is never optimal but I wouldn’t have called it a 4-4-1-1. Obviously it’s all positive vibes and rightly so after this horrendous run but I thought Hayden was poor and that could be the better fit as a position for Edwards, who didn’t have a bad game at right-back by any means. |

My natural fear of the worst would really be allayed with Blackburn getting beat today. Fancy Oxford at home to Birmingham |

Wonder what Brewster and Brereton are on. Didn’t think he’d get those two going but fair play. Probably no more than Glass-Salter. Thought they’d regress without Morris but they’ve kicked on. |

You’d like to think there’s another Leicesteresque performance in there fuelled by thoughts of revenge. But I doubt there is. Even if Edwards plays, plays well and as a team they’re above the normal level I don’t see how we keep that attack out or win the midfield battle. Even if we do do all of that for an hour we know the fitness isn’t there to see it out. |

I’m sure he won’t play every minute but he’s a great fit. They’ve got plenty of strength and pace. If they need to go direct you want him throwing the bombs, either from deep or set pieces. Possible risk he’s played an awful lot this season and is just knackered but they’ll be smart enough to pick and choose when to use him. |

They must have about 37 wingers and unlike our plethora of equally meh options they are all fit. They have one player out with an ACL and had one suspension for the last game in their entire quite large squad. Makes you think. |

When we inevitably don’t put it right he looks more silly. Expect nothing and you’ll never be disappointed. |

I think Walsh should get flak for both the second and third goals along with various others but mistakes are more forgivable than utter stupidity. Still annoyed at his first yellow he talked himself into. |

Hindsight is great and all that but surely with the players available you move Dunne or Hayden to right-back and Field in the middle if you’re moving Dunne and have actual defenders defending. Was like they were all stood in entirely random positions between the ball and goal. |

Edwards was of course the obvious move given the players available on the bench but even bringing on Adamson to play wide or effectively a second right-back would have made some sense just to get a knackered player off. I think it’s possible he just forgot entirely he’d used up the windows which would be less stupid than leaving the subs as late as he did given how obviously they were needed. In the ludicrous era of five subs, at least one at half-time would make sense regularly regardless of how the game is going. Given we never seem to start the second half well it might be an idea to look at it given we haemorrhage territory and often goals from 45-60. |
