Reading the report in my paper Rhodes was subbed after an hour. Injured or just nor at the races ?

He was being assaulted for most of the game. Wouldn’t be surprised if he picked up a knock. One was a dirty off the ball knee to the thigh so possible dead leg. Fox was sent off for Wednesday but Bennett should have been off earlier for Wolves.

Refereeing standards are getting worse and worse. TV intervention is becoming harder to argue against and the refereeing associations are playing into their hands.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

That's a sly one. If you get a proper dead leg your night is over.

[Norbert Rassragr]

It's a move police sometimes use.

[JHRover]

Good to see big club Birmingham propping the table up. They got away with it last year, hopefully not this.

[Tom]

Not surprised Rhodes got a bit of a kicking he had fallen over 12 times before that when anyone went close to him, Rhodes did well to wind Bennett up he just got unlucky that the end result wasn't seen by anyone. 

Should have brought Joao on alongside Rhodes rather than in place of him

Not sure where to put this but it looks like our Xmas do is in Dublin (judging by the photo of a plane previously, lots of Guiness and those Irish hats) Bennett has posted an Instagram singing the Smallwood song with the entire squad.

Barnsley bought out ...

Looked like Temple bar. I met David Dunn there 2 Christmases ago. I was very much the worse for wear, 2nd day rollover job. My friends spotted him first and made out I was some huge fan boy, which is only 3/4s true

Sam Gallagher got a goal and a red card today, not going well for him this season

Him and our Jason looking at back to back relegations.

Thought Venkys had strange timing but Gibson (yes he was one of the people instrumental in saving the club and yes he has invested, etc) has made some strange decisions before. Its not sacking Monk especially (and I'm not saying one win should change things) but why not do it earlier in the week? Didn't he do the same with Southgate as well sacking him just hours after a win? 

 The Robson/Venables farce years ago as well.

It was Sheff Weds v Boro yesterday, both managers sacked less than 24 hours later. Wonder when that last happened.

Strange option chaddy they had the second best defence didn't they in the championship. Allot of flair in Bamford, Traore and Johnson etc. Such a miss suited choice for what they've got at there disposal bar Gestede and Braithwaite who else is Pulis, Friend? 

They're buggered with FFP if they don't go up given  bulk haul haulage profits are wrote Of against boro losses presently.

Strange how his career has gone.

Remember looking on in envy when he was at Brentford. Remember at half time at ewood their players looking professional going through drills whilst ours played kickabout like they where down the park with their mates.

[DE.]

Seems like a typical foreign owner coming in with a trigger happy mentality. Losing to Sunderland at home is pretty disgraceful but Sheffield Utd lost to Bolton at home on the same day which is equally embarrassing if not more so. It happens. Considering Forest only stayed up on GD last season this seems like a harsh sacking. 

[Bigdoggsteel]

Rowett doing an epic job at Derby. I didn't even notice them sneaking up the table. Birmingham's sacking of him up there with Venkys sacking of big Sam,arguably worse. I would say their fans are fuming.
