We have no forward if Vipotnik gets injured. I’m sure we will bring one in.

Cullen can cover there, not ideal but he can do a job. I know many will disagree

 

[Swansea93]

I’m surprised Jayden Danns hasn’t been linked on a loan for us, Matos brought him through at Liverpool and he’s a good player from what I’ve seen.

Stamenic class again, a deserved win. I was chuckling on the way back to the car thinking of someone thinking Sheehan used to watch him play for Olympiacos and Forest reserves in his spare time

Brilliant performance particularly in the second half, Vipotnik visibly annoyed Galbraith didn’t thread that ball through to him when on the edge of the box, if he would have then I think that’s a 3-0 away win.

Onto Sheff Wed!!!

That’s the bit of his game Galbraith needs to improve to reach the level some think he’s already at. He makes the wrong decision at times. That should improve with experience.

Not for any length of time he can’t. Maybe the odd ten minutes.

And it looks like Wales is off on loan.

 

[Malaga]

ref partly to blame IMO , he left a few things go during the game , he should have acted on.

Franco shoved over the touchline 1st half, no foul, Franco shoves Watford player over touchline virtually identical, ref gives foul...

I agree Lisa, this is why I think he’s better deeper. He is much more effective when he can see the pitch in front of him rather than playing the simple intricate passes, he’s not a natural 10 like a Leo Walta appears to be. He showed what he adds to us at RB when he came on, doesn’t stop him playing central and still doesn’t get caught out positionally. I don’t mind him at 6 either but you then lose Stamenic and we suddenly look small.

Long term injury i think

 

[Swanjaxs]

Put it this way, if that is an adult I can’t quite believe it.

Trying to understand who'd be in a negative mood after the result today, either way, bad form.

Franco didn’t help himself though when he deliberately launched himself after he was pushed to make it look a lot worse than it was. It was really obvious on the replay.

Unlike most, I personally believe Stamenic to be our best midfielder at the moment so he has to play at 6 in my view. I also thought Fulton had another good game.

Galbraith has been caught out of position a few times in recent games but that may be tiredness. He was better today positionally when he came on.

I don’t think Ward is the answer at right back other than for shorter periods so Galbraith will have to stay there until we presumably buy a new one in the summer.

We have no forward if Vipotnik gets injured. I’m sure we will bring one in.

I’m dubious about that based on what Matos said about Cullen and Widell in the week.

How long is Idah out for?

 

[cmajack]

Great 3 points this with Sheffield Wed coming up next weekend.

Excellent 3 points today, well done lads .
