  1. Karma for their handball goal and clogging of Edozie.
  2. He'll play another 3
  3. Who will be on penalties if we get one? We missed one against these last time. I guess it would be Larin because he's taken one and scored but I'm not 100% sure I'd trust him. Would prefer someone like Manning.
  4. Wonder if they've considered Bazunu. Think he'd go down well on Tyneside. The Geordies would love him.
  5. With Wrexham losing tonight this feels like a pivotal game against Norwich. Win tomorrow and we are into 6th spot and then it's up to us to hold on to it. It's a huge match and one we should win but we'll need to be right at it from the first whistle.
  6. He looks a short arse on the pitch but is actually 5'11" which explains why he is decent in the air. I'd imagined he was about 5'6" or 5'7" so am a bit surprised.
  7. Yeah, narrow escape for Stoke 🙂
  8. Agree and, along with others, I thought Downes probably needed to find a new club. Thank goodness he didn't because he is now playing as well as he ever has. Also heard Tonda say he's developing into a leader and did the talking yesterday during the pre-match huddle which is great to hear. We need Downes fit and playing every game of the run-in because he is crucial to the team.
  9. I agree with what you're saying but Charles should have been much more switched on and made certain he didn't give the referee a decision to make. He was naive and has now been directly responsible for the last 2 goals we've conceded because he should have put the ball out for a throw-in against West Brom but gave away a cheap corner. Maybe Tonda needs to have a quiet word with him.
  10. Seems like they are not used to having a team stand up against them and make it hard and it wound them up. Zero class from them in defeat. Their forum was full of how they were going to win easy and I think they were genuinely shocked at being beaten today. Great to turn them over and ruin their weekend.
  11. They will both be desperate to win the league. Wrexham won't get an easy passage against either
  12. We have lost just one game out of 14 since Peretz came into the side in early January. He has made a massive difference.
  13. Very good 'no look' goal today. Slotted it home with aplomb whilst appearing disinterested. That's quite a skill.
  14. Massive 3 points thanks to Tonda's tactical master class especially without Leo and also with Stewart missing so had to deal with the Larin substitution. Thought we'd be losing ground to Wrexham after only managing the draw at West Brom but all credit for everyone involved in today's fantastic performance and result which puts us right back in the mix and our run in is probably more favourable than Wrexham's. Norwich is going to be another tough game but we need to follow up today with another 3 points. Peretz, what a keeper - not only his vital saves but also the way he is constantly talking and keeping his defenders on their toes. Hope we can keep him at the end of the season.
  15. I guess mainly because we tend to share the goals around between forwards, midfielders and defenders.
  16. Norwich is going to be a very tough game next week.
  17. Nor will we.
  18. If Wrexham win, as it looks like they will, we'll need to beat Coventry or it's going to look like a mountain to climb. They could be 6 points ahead of us by the end of our game tomorrow and that'll probably be a step too far.
  19. He really isn't.
  20. Decent as a sub but not good enough as a starter for me.
  21. We miss him so much we are unbeaten since he left and in the quarter finals of the FA Cup 🙂
  22. Wouldn't play Charles after he was so poor yesterday. Rather give Bragg a start.
  23. Have criticised his lack of an end product but he came up with the goods last night. More of that please Sam.
  24. Have to agree to disagree. Just block their guy and there's nothing he can do - see it in most games I watch and I was just waiting for Charles to do his job but he went into panic mode. Very poor decision making which ultimately cost us a goal just before half time.
  25. Yeah, the guy who held onto Larin's shirt when ref let play should have been booked because that was far worse than what Bragg did.
