He's also already been capped up to U19 level (8 caps, 3 goals), so no shock he's going up an age group as he ages and plays competitive football. If he was in the U21s, now that would be a big shock. But all the truly good young players are in the U21s already (and even that level, let's not forget that Jason Lowe played 11 times for the U21s and I think I heard was even captain at one point?). ACD has talent and potential. But his decision-making has been dire lately and I think his confidence is in the toilet. He also obviously lacks the genuine pace after the first few yards to truly beat his men with regularity. Unless he gets smarter and adapts his game that will probably always mean his ceiling doesn't reach too high. Probably not the right thread for talk about him though tbf. He's not part of our Academy or U21s, or even club, and plays in the first team squad.

I didn't read that as him not picking him because of the recent injury (why put him in the u21s if it's in any way to protect him?). Reads to me more like 'he's close, but I didn't think he's ready yet so I went with Henderson for his experience. I thought about picking both but we wanted an extra keeper instead'

We did in the season the accounts showed the jump. Certainly on the sheet I saw.

Has Waggott had a big pay rise, or is this oft-repeated claim all coming from the accounts showing a substantially higher bill on the Director wages part? Because I'd assume that came from employing a Director of Football.

Ahh, the Schmichael technique. Without any of his ability.

I can because A) the one a couple of minutes earlier definitely was, and He already gave it, but seems to have his own personal VAR in a league with no VAR

This club can't catch a break. I'm done.

It looks like it, but I've never seen a penalty get reversed without VAR, fucking bollocks

Wtf!?!? That never happens without VAR! Whistle blows, points at spot, penalty end of. If you want to check with your assistant do it first, you fucking cunt. Amazing, even with my apathy about the result the officials can still make my blood boil!

I hate being right sometimes.

Refs never give Gueye anything. Dragged round the neck there.

You couldn't write this. All that's missing now is for us to romp the rest of the game 4-1 out the blue, but then all the goalscorers get injured in the last 5 minutes.

Well that's their job.

The black death and the bubonic plague are the same thing. Pears would have been lucky back then, no way he would've caught it.

That we'll let another one in later.

That's what I want to know too. Livescore have changed to that too now and they started with someone else. Makes fuck all sense if true.

Yes. Calf I think it was. Needs a scan. Makes me think he will be out for weeks, maybe the whole season. When I heard that I considered it the final nail in the coffin.

Christ I hope not

Weird isn't it. Don't think they understand each other well at all, despite playing a lot together.

Same. It's hard to give a damn right now. I'm kinda glad I have to work so I can't watch it. Usually around this time a win pops up to give us some futile hope to cling to again. And I know that, but if it happens it will still probably fool me into giving a damn for a bit anyway.

3-0 to Spurs with 20 minutes left

He makes far more mistakes than Raya did.

I wouldn't have felt united by Duff at all.

There have been a lot less chances in this than at Ewood, but yet again I can't help feeling that if we swapped keepers we'd have won this. We really, really should've signed Johansen in the summer. We would have made the playoffs with him.
