Howay

To be fair he's that much of a lump he could make it look like a mistake, just come on and bundle into him elbow first, walk off looking confused as Lansbury sucks on the grass.

I think he's been binge watching that show the Vikings.

It is something an old bloke would say when he's trying to say the name of an African player like.

I hope Mitro comes on in the 93rd min and KO's Lansbury.

That Hayden is becoming some player mind, quality there from him.

Spot on, we absolutely should appeal as there's nothing to be lost on appeal. I'd argue this Lansbury has prior as the dirty twat is sitting on 9 bookings ffs, he started the kicking and video will show that, it'll also show that Shelvey did nowt but kick air...

Aye, the club have to surely say something to the FA over this one. I don't for one second think Dummetts ban will be upheld on appeal, I think Shelvey is fucked mind as our argument is basically if his is violent then so is Lansbury's (I'd appeal simply to try and get that twat banned mind). So that's basically Shelvey out until Feb if he gets that 5 game ban.

Handball by Bendtner, then Assombolonga was interfering with play coming from an offside position. IGNORE ALL THAT 1-1. Most disgraceful officiating performance I've ever seen.

Spot on, they were both kicking out and Lansbury started it ffs. The Dummett one is a disgrace simply because of the double chance rule and will surely be overturned on appeal. I cannot wait until we're out of this league as the standard of officiating is utterly shambolic, although I do think this bloke is trying to fix this as I can't really believe he could be so lenient on Forest but so over the top harsh on us simply because of stupidity.

I'm not sure it's possible with 9 men, too many gaps. We need to at least take Perez off to get a defender on and have Gayle drop a bit deeper

That's it like Dummett literally brushed against him, how on Earth can you possibly give a pen and a red for that? Especially ridiculous when you consider Clark was literally lifted up and thrown to the ground as he was reaching for the ball up the other end. I genuinely hope the club lodge a formal complaint about this officiating staff as I can't help but feel something not right is going on here.

LOL!!! Karl Darlow what a legend

This ref is a complete and utter disgrace and should be investigated.

Aye they've been rolling around all match, spell of play earlier where the lad was rolling about and the forest fans booed us for not kicking it out then when they won possession he got up and sprinted off down the pitch

I'd say it was down by his side but he already gave them a soft pen for afters ffs.

A hand ball there...

So if that was Clark fouling Cash how did we not get a pen when their defender basically dump tackled Clark when he was trying to attack a corner?

Aye appalling refereeing, they both were kicking out at each other man so if Shelvey deserves a red then Lansbury should be off as nowt fucking hit him either. And now denied a perfectly fine goal...

Surprised with the line up as I assumed they'd be knackered but I guess Rafa knows what he's doing.

Can't say I've really seen any of him, if he's a genuine AMC then that's what I think we need as the link between the lines is lacking. We could look for a £3-5m player to get us through to the summer, I mean I think we'll get promoted as things stand but I think it'll be much smoother if we get a bloke in that position. Maybe we could allow them to keep Armstrong on loan until the end of the season (it's only until Jan at the minute isn't it?) and give them £3m.

I'm really hoping we look to fill that number 10 role, even if it's just a loan to get us through until the summer when we can get a higher calibre one. I think we could get by the 3 or so games in January we'd have Shelvey missing for (if he is banned) if we had two out of Colback, Tiote, Diame, or Hayden playing behind a capable number 10 as it's been a really key position we've been lacking and I think a couple of these losses could have been draws or wins if we'd had one.

December 19th for his hearing, what a fucking faff on the FA are man it'll have been about 3 month since the alleged incident by then.

I hadn't considered using Yedlin but that is probably the most likely option, aye I'd forgotten Gouffran was hobbling but remembered both him and Ritchie were hanging by the end so was worried about our lack of wingers. I suppose playing Yedlin on the wing depends on how knackered Anita is, although if Anita is wrecked and Lazaar is somewhat fresh it could be Lazaar on the wing with Dummett behind him and Atsu in front of Yedlin. I'm just glad we're playing a team with a leaky defence as it's going to be a bit of a makeshift side in certain areas.

Darlow will start, he's the number 1 now as long as Elliott is injured. Krul is out on loan.

We're definitely going to see a lot of rotation, I think it'll more resemble the line up against Blackburn bar the CM pairing as they were both blowing through their arses by the end. The other worry for me is the wings, we have Atsu who will be relatively fresh but Ritchie and Gouffran both played the majority of the 120 and Ritchie in particular looked like he was running through treacle, I'd say we might see Perez and Atsu on the wings but then unless we play Diame I can't see it as there's no way we'll be playing Murphy and Mitro together.
