Triple sub. BBD, Dibling and Downes on Cornet, Big Les and Fraser off.

Apart from the FK we scored from, you mean?

Fraser should have squared it to AA.

Shite defending again gives them a 1 on 1.

He missed all of pre-season with injury so be needs game time to build fitness.

He isn't particularly quick. He has short legs and a high frequency stride pattern that gives the illusion that he's fast, but it's deceptive.

An unmarked free header from a set piece doesn't qualify as a 'clear cut' chance? How strange.

Why do you hate to say it?

Very poor again from Wood there. I'm far from convinced by Taylor either.

Oh Dixon was booked it seems. Cameras must have missed it.

Yay! A header on target!

That's a terrible late tackle. How is that not a yellow card?

Why do we not have a single player in our squad who is capable of getting a header on target?

Well technically that was a shot on target. Woo!

Comical.

Not looking too great defensively are we.

OK so the disconnect here appears to be that you are arguing about the seriousness of offence almost pedantically in terms of the sentencing guidelines. Whereas I, and seemingly everyone else on this post, am arguing purely in terms of morality. The reason the crime to which HE has pleaded guilty is generally punished less severely is because, at some point in time, a body of lawmakers made an arbitrary decision that it should be. But looking along moral lines, I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone, barring perhaps a few closet paedophiles, who doesn't think there is a clear equivalence between raping children and paying to watch the raping of children.

Yes. If you pay someone to provide videos of children being raped, then morally you are no better than the actual rapist. Fucking hell Soggy. How do you even need that pointing out to you?

I'm really not seeing the logic of playing him so wide when we have other obviously better options in that position. He doesn't appear to have any of the attributes you would expect from a winger, like pace or dribbling ability. I want to believe he is actually a better player than we have seen from him so far, but he needs to be played in the right position to prove that, and LW ain't it.

The start of our unbeaten run last season coincided with him getting injured. Just saying.

Normally when a team goes down to ten you see them retreat into a defensive shape to deal with an onslaught from the other team. But Utd seem happy to just let us have the ball and knock it around, safe in the knowledge we won't do anything constructive with it.

Well, at least we won't have to see Stephens playing for the next 3 games.

A quadruple change, no less.

I don't want to write him off completely just yet, but he's just an empty shirt playing out on the wing. I'd think about swapping him for Cornet or Fraser.
