Jrc has been moved to the left where he can do less damage. Looks like he’s running in treacle. 

Moved back to accommodate baker

Perhaps one too many injuries for JRC. With that said he had something similar a couple of seasons back when he didn't even look like a professional footballer for a few months, then suddenly got going and looked great, before the usual injuries started up again.

For all the talk of JRC needing to be a key member of the team, I doubt he'll ever be reliable enough to fulfil that role. Injuries and inconsistency are too common to ignore at this point. It's a shame as the natural talent is there, but it is what it is. At best a utility player, but when he's off form he's even a liability in that regard, so I'd probably look to move him on soonish if we could get a decent fee.

Hedges, Cantwell and Ohashi off

Buckley, Baker and Gueye on

Don't worry, Makhtar will sort it 

Might actually suit him this game on the break.

[Devon Rover]

Is gueye playing right wing?!?! We are throwing this, right?

[WacoRover]

What a bench today; glad to see Baker, otherwise, not much quality. 

[Angry_Pirate]

Win, lose or draw, this substitute cameo form JRC is a 0/10.

Straight from the Gary Bowyer book of football management this.

One of the slowest professional footballers I've ever seen. Doesn't look remotely like an athlete.

Honestly don't think the guy would suit anything 

[simongarnerisgod]

i certainly woud`nt be bringing buckley on in this situation

[TheWeasel]

I never understand this parking the bus at 2-0 especially with our team. All's it ever does is let the confidence of the opposition grow as they get more of the ball and all the space in the world 

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Going to be a long 12 mins or so

Parking the bus with a team struggling to keep clean sheets, but on the other hand attacking well. He's just enabled the opposition a shot at taking the points.

Agreed especially when you have a keeper who always has a mistake in him no matter how well he has played.

Surely no such thing on a penalty it’s odds against the keeper, he’s unlucky there.

Ridiculous from JRC and a poor substitution 

Yeh in fairness you cant fault Pears for the penalty save, onus should be on the other players getting back once its taken. Totally on JRC that one.
Pears has actually been ok today, good take just there aswell from the Cardiff cross

 

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Pickering you prick. Clear it. 

[WacoRover]

I would feel better, if we had Beck today 

[Forever Blue]

They are for more athletic and pacey than us, especially out wide. It’s the same for nearly every team we play 

[danger19_80]

GET IN!!!!

i think eustace is the epitome of a coach that thinks he`s smarter than he actually is,there was no need to drop so deep

[TheWeasel]

Fuck me that's an unreal finish 

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Baker you absolutely fucking beauty!!!

[OsloRover]

Baker 3-1 easy as you like
