Sooner or later a ref has to call it our way, far too many games lately the refs have not been kind. And those decisions have effected the pattern of the game.
Yes ,think about the stonewall pens we were not given against Stoke, Portsmouth and Hull.Sooner or later a ref has to call it our way, far too many games lately the refs have not been kind. And those decisions have effected the pattern of the game.
Allen should of made a bit more of it, running after their player, kinda made it look it wasn’t that bad,
Shocking. I'd love to hear the referee justify not sending him off. They need to be held accountable for these sorts of decisions when they're letting dangerous play go.
pure lack of bottle, allen didn't roll over 7 times so gave the ref a chance to fanny his way out of sending him offShocking. I'd love to hear the referee justify not sending him off. They need to be held accountable for these sorts of decisions when they're letting dangerous play go.
Impossible to tell from that & lino is brilliantly positioned.Bit late with this one, but looks like we got away with Armstrong's offside call v WBA -

After letting the leg-breaker go earlier, it'd have been a farce if he'd sent him off for that.Yesterday’s ref has not shown a single red card all season.
But before we get too agitated can I point out that Sakamoto gets sent off for his kick out after being fouled in 99% of games?
That was right in front of us and straight red all day long. I thought ‘what an idiot’ especially as Tats is such a polite young man.Yesterday’s ref has not shown a single red card all season.

Wasn't much but was at least 20% more venomous than Beckham’sThat was right in front of us and straight red all day long. I thought ‘what an idiot’ especially as Tats is such a polite young man.
That's an absolute stinker.Bit late with this one, but looks like we got away with Armstrong's offside call v WBA -

Also regardless of whether it should have been a red or not. FL, the coaches and the players prepared to play a Plymouth side with 11 players over 90 minutes. We were poor from back to front. We never troubled them, didn't have a spell of sustained pressure and never looked like scoring. Even Wright's goal came out of the blue. We seemed clueless how to break them down and get in behind them. We have seen this problem several times under Robins and Lampard.
This for me is far more worrying than the ref getting it wrong and giving a player a yellow that should have been a red. If anything it should have galvanised us. Sport is about overcoming problems and finding a way to get the result.
The way to get around Plymouth was to create overloads. Some Saka/MVE interplay on the right would have helped create something, I'm not sure why we look to do this less as a rule now.Also regardless of whether it should have been a red or not.

It’s the away from home way the full backs don’t attack as they would at home but we still left gaps even soThe way to get around Plymouth was to create overloads. Some Saka/MVE interplay on the right would have helped create something, I'm not sure why we look to do this less as a rule now.
One full back creating an overload should be easily covered, even away from home!It’s the away from home way the full backs don’t attack as they would at home but we still left gaps even so
Oh I agree and even though we didn’t try it in any meaningful way we were still openOne full back creating an overload should be easily covered, even away from home!
I do think MVE and JDS have been asked to take up more central positions in the build up, they pop up in CM more often in recent times it seems.

Yes or go longer into the middle and look to pick up the second ball off their centre halves. The only player who looks to whip balls into the penalty area first time in games is Grimes. Our tempo is far too slow when teams drop off us and always has been.
