He seems to have installed a bit of structure and even a bit of fight in the team. We don't fold after going behind so much.

Now we have to work on, not going behind !

I thought the decision was for the block? and it was a poor decision.

We didn't get the rub of the green today.

It wasn’t a “ block “, it was two players coming together in pursuit of the ball. It used to happen all the time without free kicks being given either way. Now if you have a coming together in the penalty area in particular it’s either a penalty or a free kick. Very rarely is it “ play on “.

Nob End players will do the same when we play them. They’ve done it before.

A stronger ref will be needed. 

Rovers should put in a complaint about that ref. Won’t mean anything.

Will be annoying if those lost two points cost us later in the season.

You need a ref like Jarred Gillett or Simon Hooper who are good sensible referees who aren't centre of attention

Back in the day that was not a booking, not a foul just a bloody good tackle 

Then he failed to book the guy who rugby tackled Big Mak to the ground.

A good referee would have said "calm down,you're already on a yellow,let me be the ref not you"

not "don't you wave your fingers at me, here's your second yellow"

A couple of points.

Good call to choose to kick to our own fans first half. I felt far more comfortable us defending the goal directly infront of us with the 10 men than I would have done had they been attacking the Jimmy Mcilroy stand.

Secondly,and we say it every time, how shit is that away end. Forgetting the cramped concourse and toilets, you can't even see the goalline with the way the goalline is so close to the stand. Once people are stood up, the view of the goal is almost blocked if you are out wide. I saw Weimanns shot go over Trafford and had no visibility of it going in. Just the crowd going mad.

When Big Mak made the booking gesture I winced and thought "youll be lucky to get away with that". He may have done, but then he stupidly turns around and does it to the linesman as well (or the 4th official). I think if he hadnt done it twice, including to officials off the pitch, he might have got away with it. Ultimately it was so blatantly obvious and clear I think it gave the ref no option.

He was still right though and the guy should clearly had been booked (which he wasnt)

What happened with Foster, towards the end of the game? He just ended up on the deck and pathetically rolled about 15 yards.

The ref did nothing about it (I don't think) but it was in our box, surely he should have been done for simulation?

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Just watching the Dolan - Travis move right at the death that ended up with Travis banging it over the bar. Does anybody else think Dolan took a touch too many ? Could he have passed it sooner ?

Definitely. It was the second counter attack where his poor decision making let  us down after failing to square to Weimann for a tap in earlier on.

That’s what I thought. He always wants that extra touch. It needs coaching out of him.

He did it repeatedly though, for far too long. Easy to blame the referee who was very poor throughout but in this instance the blame lies with Gueye for stupidity.

You could say that about Dolan multiple attacks. There was an earlier one where he was put through by Gueye and Weimann was free at the back post and fuming that he didn't pass.

10 players got yellow cards. You'd think it was a blood-bath!

Have to admit I let out an expletive when Travis did that. All he had to do was keep his toe down and keep the shot on target and it could have been a goal. Coupled with the Dolan disallowed goal a 3-1 win would have been so sweet after last year

I'm just saying that was my reaction at the time because I couldn't see any other explanation for the goal to be disallowed.

We were robbed.

Yeah, it’s not the first time and this is his  downfall, awful decision maker! I imagine if Cantrell was in that position we’d be looking at a completely different outcome.

Or Sammi. That was Sammi’s strength, he made his mind up quickly and kept whatever he was doing simple.

As soon as I saw it was Travis on the ball I knew where the shot was going. Fair play to the guy for getting up in support right at the death. He must have been knackered. So much for getting rid of him ! He’s indispensable at the moment.

Yeah, Racing Club v Celtic comes to mind, or Chile v Italy 1962. It’s another game now.

He didn’t try to pass it. That was just because he wasn’t successful with the dribble. He only put his head down instead of looking for teammates. Reminds me of Karl Poborsky. 

[aletheia]

Ball only got through to Trav by lucky deflection -by then he was too wide to make the shot easy, Not Trav's fault.

I thought Trav was outstanding yesterday, a real derby day performance and man of the match for me. I'm afraid JDT messed up massively with his little fall out with him, Eustace is already coming across as a far better man manager.
