If we wrote off every player after one missed opportunity we'd never be able to field a team. Mara looked good when he came on, had good control and turned the opposition around a bit. Poor finish from someone over eager to get his first goal of the season but I would rather we use him than Adams at this point.

Got depressed after the Sunderland game and stopped doing it. However since you're so interested; He's now conceded 42.6% of shots on target. 20 out of 47. Save rate of 57.4% - second worst in the league, only better than Middlesbrough. Interestingly his distribution which is lauded as making him stand out in this league doesn't really reflect that - he's 7th in the pass completion list for keepers, behind Leicester, Middlesbrough, Watford, Norwich and Hulls keepers. He tops only two categories so far - amount of goals conceded, and amount of goals conceded above the amount of XG which predicts we have conceded 4.7 goals more than we should have so far.

Forgot about Butterfield entirely! Whilst KWP might have better ball control Richardson and Butterfield were both more effective going forward, although that may have more to do with having Lambert on the end of their crosses.

Harding was never first choice and barely played the season we played in the championship. Fox was only error prone and lacking in discipline when we reached the Prem. Fox was an excellent player at this level. Manning so far is about Harding's level, he'd probably be brilliant in league one.

I look forward to having faith in our keeper in 4 or 5 years time.

Davis KWP Fonte Hooiveld Fox Sulemana Schneiderlin Cork Lallana Lambert Sharp Even KWP is debatable, Richardson was absolutely superb that season.

We don't, but we're not playing suicidal football anymore which is the main thing.

Travers and that little pikey Pearson were angling for a fight at the end there without a doubt.

First clean sheet, you could see what it meant to the defence. Bednarek went ape shit at full time.

Armstrong man of the match is a very lazy choice. He was atrocious first half, goal aside.

This is your fault.

He's a very good striker to be fair.

Really annoyed that Fraser is getting game time ahead of Edozie.

We won't keep a clean sheet, thats for sure.

I got no issue with smallbone shooting there. Aribo was too far wide and would have cut back in onto his left foot so wouldn't have had a shooting opportunity anyway.

And of course they don't give the ball back when we kicked it out for their injured player. Cunts.

Actually wasn't a foul at all.

I'm loving it.

What exactly did Downes do to get a booking there then?

Go on lads!

Aribos done a good job for us in seeing games out.

Hinchcliff is desperate for those two penalty claims to be seen as legitimate. The fuck is his problem?

Poorly timed, straight out of play from Baz.

It's utterly bizarre, didn't he score 2 in 2 then he was dropped and has barely been seen since?

He's obviously not at the same level as JWP but he's filling that role more and more every game.
