Pissed there's no stream now..... that sounds like a van Bronckhurst-esque steam powered blaster from Williams.... Gooding and Dellor passing the wet wipes between them.

Sounded like Dellor had another goalgasm.

God this is tough League. I thought BBurn were very good 1st half-what happened to Akpan-the ugly duckling turned into a swan-he ran the game 1st half -Guthrie still a waste of space.
Brian bringing an extra midfielder on at half time made a huge difference-4-3-3 every week pleeaaase!

Bond 7: Kicking still bad; but saved us at the end.
Gunter 6: A bit of a mixed bag really.
Quinn 9 : My MOM -one mistake but several really important interceptions. He is an absolute diamond at this level.
Mc Shane 5: Tough day at the Office for him.
Hector 7: Very good again.
Norwood 6: Again a mixed bag-but he is so important to us.
Williams 7: Wonder goal (I said in midweek he is a pub player -not !) ran his socks off.
Blackman 7 : Very peripheral 1st half-then upped a gear when we needed him to hold the ball up.
Vydra 4: Oh dear.
Kanu 7: A for effort-really put in a shift.
Macca 6: Not at his best.

John 8: Wow-but will not track back.
Piazon 7: Best I have seen him play for us.

REF & Lino (East Stand)-very poor again -we did have good Ref a few weeks back (we lost ) so they are about.

Best goal I have seen at Madstad-probably Booby Convey against Millwall-however todays was close.

Isn't in nice to win for a change -made my Xmas-but it's a long slog against some good teams ahead of us-just to keep our head above water.

Is this the same Paul McShane that didn`t miss an header all afternoon?

Can't think the Lino did anything wrong and generally the ref was good enough that there was little in his performance to comment on !

It was pretty funny at the end when the lino missed that our player was clearly offside as the keeper had run up to try and score and there was only 1 defender between him and the goal.

which first half were you watching? McShane consistently jumping behind their forward and missing the headers, much better 2nd half though

You can't be offside in your own half

Thought ref was poor, but average for what we see.
He seemed pretty weak though and couldn't get players to take throws from the right place and after being surrounded by Blackburn players and looking very intimidated he should have spoken to their skipper.

Called play back twice for pointless offsides when advantage should've been played. Blackburn player flagged each time didn't even touch the ball.

As far as I remember he was in the Blackburn half.

New rule means that you only have to have been judged to have interfered with play to be flagged offside, you don't have to touch the ball anymore.
