Should be a straight red

I thought last man was a straight red too, so I'm confused by this

And not a good one at that, but he deserves it for the pass he laid off for the foul on Sigurdsson to win it - delicious weight on it.

Ref mindful to keep the game a spectacle. In total contravention of the laws, but thinking about the good of the game.

Think it depends whether there was a genuine attempt to play the ball?

They changed that rule years ago - if you're making an effort to win the ball it's only a yellow card if you foul them in the box. 'Double jeopardy' I believe it's called.

When they go in, it’s a good penalty!

what a lovely move, Buckley to Gueye to Arnor.

gueye is so good with his link up play near goal.

Interested in how the attacking 3 line up behind Gueye, I'd like to see Sigurdsson central but I'm guessing it's vale right Sigurdsson left?

Weimann right, Vale central, Sigurdsson left.

For those who have missed it so far

Buckley seriously off it, needs to improve. Vale showing an uncharacteristically high level of application. Duru looking bright, has handled everything and looks up for it. Very few others look up for it. Batth slow playing such a high line.

Rare occasion that a commentator is well-researched covering us.

You think so? I think Buckley and JRC have been tidy in CM so far. 

Vale's work rate has improved, but he's still clearly not good enough - even against a L1 team.

Two tangerines limping down the tunnel on 26 minutes.

Not too sure it was a penalty. Blackpool player put his foot between Siggy and the ball and Sign kicked his foot and fell over.

I've upgraded by £2 to watch the game by the way.

Id say its hard to have a clearer penalty... Great build up. Think Gueye gave their keeper they eyes.

Like the look of Duru, and Buckley has been very good imo.

[davulsukur]

Pears with some more good goalkeeping 😂

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Pears being Pears.  

[Exiled_Rover]

Pears spoons a save right back into the 18 yard box. He's absolutely terrifying.

[Valconite]

Please sign a new goal keeper. Don’t make us suffer another season with this clown.

[moerpho]

Thank (insert deity) they have no quality up top. Pears will give me heart attack before the season is over.

His hold up play and brilliantly weighed passes suggest he's much better with his feet than we were led to believe. Granted his shooting hasn't been great so far, but early days yet. 

Really like the look of him. I think he'll turn out to be an excellent fit for this division. 

[johnradfordsubbuteo2]

Can someone teach Siggy how to defend please? 3 challenges 3 fouls. Maybe 4.

Pears does like pushing saves back into the box. Need an improvement asap.
