Eccles looked to pick up a knock last night as well I thought.
he has a choice. He I suspect will play Eccles there

Thought Eccles was excellent going forward last night in the second half. Got roasted at the start of the second half
Sprinting past himit helped that the guy got injured who was walking past him every time
Ironically, at the same time as fans are trotting out the racist 'Lazy' stereotype, I counted four separate fans around me in Block 15 last night that confused Dabo and Palmer. Some more than once. fml
It doesn't help when somebody who is paid to commentate on games does the same thing.
One is about a foot taller than the other and plays further up the pitch.
The other is smaller and stockier.
Not sure it's racist though. (The getting them mixed up one). The lazy nonsense is bullshit, you only have to watch Palmer to see he is far from lazy so there's no excusing that.
Just looked at replay, and can’t understand why Palmer or Allen didn’t just pull Barlaser back or chop him down, there were covering players so yellow at worst or even get away with it the way the ref was letting them do.
We really are too nice as a team, maybe a Michael Doyle would have stopped him
We've become a bit better in recent weeks but compared to Rotherham we have a way to go. Even their manager is at it after the game.
Football should be played fairly, and under Robins we clearly want to. The issue is, it's not. Rotherham and many in this division have a style of play which works. Waste time, take silly fouls and sub players off on yellows. Look at the one on Gyökeres 2/3 of them were trying to take him down. Even after the game their manager is still at it.
I'd absolutely love to know the time the ball was in play last night. Must have been the lowest in some time.
He did say last night that he would look at utilising Kane but it seems he's been dragged there.I think he will play Godden at RWB before he does Kane.
Weird really as he whacked him at LWB instead.
Judging by @robbiekeane other posts on the subject appears people who sit behind him use it all the time. He clearly has a issue with it. Whats fair if they are using it as a slur.
But its would be best if he dint acuse everyone who uses the word lazy as racist.
Allen and whoever is in the middle should have fouled the player for the first goal. Dabos leg goes at just the wrong time to try to do something. Wilson all over the place
2nd goal is literally a straight 40 yard pass.
Its not just a one off. Stern John, Bothroyd, Best, there’s been others. It’s a common complaint against black players disproportionately and with the racist history of accusing black people of being lazy it’s a sensitive word. Like globalist for Jews (yes I am reading Jews Don’t Count by David Baddiel at the moment why do you ask?)
Hasn’t noticed that but yeah you can see him pull up the last few steps before the guy shoots. So unlucky.
We all know football has an huge issue with racism from grass routes up.
Trying to tar anyone who says the word lazy as a racist really isn't helping in the slightest.
With Palmer I can understand why some people will/have said negative things about him. As he did turn up unfit and Bristol fans had basicly said he wasn't good. So was all ready lined up for the boo boys.
I don’t remember people saying it was racsit when Max, Dacosta and Kasta got abuse. So lots of double standards
In real time looked like he just got beat for speed and then pulled up. But looks more like he pulled up at just the wrong time. That guy is rapid mind you.
I get where you’re coming from and I’m not calling you racist, I’ve never seen a note of it in your posts. Just trying to put some context around why that word is particularly sensitive.
I’m really not the person to speak on this so I’ll shut up but I’ve seen it said black players are either “big and strong” or “lazy” because that fits racist stereotypes and it holds young black players back. As I say I’ll leave it there.
I wasn’t saying it about you, was just saying what one poster was trying to claim last night….
I fully understand that that word has connotations now and should be used with caution.
It’s about educating rather than branding.

This nails it. People may not be consciously biased but the idea still floats around unconsciously. In the same ball park, people would do well to ask themselves if they mix white players up who look nothing alike anywhere near as much as black players who, in the case of Palmer and Dabo, share a similar hair style and that's about it! Skin tone, build, height are all totally different. Dangerous territory using the word lazy in this context. It's a racist stereotype but not everyone that's using it is being consciously racist. Rant over.
The Best one was the craziest. I have rarely seen a player who put in so much effort.Its not just a one off. Stern John, Bothroyd, Best, there’s been others.

You’re talking bullocksFuck me all I said is he will frustrate some as looks lazy and now some think its a race issue.
He doesn't track back as much as others and has that ability to look uninterested why still doing a lot of good. Some will like it others will get on his back for it.
its not a race issue just a fucking observation

Literally collapsed from exhaustion after a game once but still deemed "lazy".
Two at the same time apparently.Also, why didn't their players go off after they got treatment?
