I thought the ref had a decent game. Let them off with a few rugby tackles, but hey ho. I also thought it was a decent game of football, even when we were losing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 There were a few softies I thought from the ref, but it wasn't terribly surprising that when they kept clattering through us that eventually he would start blowing up for soft ones too. Link to post Share on other sites
edinboro 804 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Not sure if mentioned but I didn't see Leo yesterday. Anyone know if anything has occurred? He didn't do his usual sub duties. Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,711 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I love how vocal Britt was after the equaliser. You could see him rallying the troops to stay focussed and not get carried away. Celebrate. Head down. Play on. Good job. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Did we also work out what player it was that had it too? I'm thinking Stojanovic, as he's not been on the bench past 3 games. And with Pears seemingly off to Blackburn, it's surprising to see him on the bench in Stojanovic's place. I wonder if Stojanovic's positive test has put the breaks on Pears' departure? This is all speculation as I have no idea if Stojanovic is suffering or has been suffering with the virus. Link to post Share on other sites
edinboro 804 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Would all make sense. Hope no one else comes down with it this week. This is the last full week of training we have before the games really kick in. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think it'll be confirmed because it's private medical knowledge, but all the signs point at Stojanovic, yes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
sanddancer 1,964 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) Looking at the Premiership scores I have to ask, are they more focused on scoring more then the opponent and sacrifice defensive play, or is it just because it’s the start of the season. The pace of attacking play is extraordinary. I can’t remember seeing so many goals in the past. Some decent score lines in the Championship to be fair. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Its a direct result of what I've been saying for a long time on here - defensive football has run its course. Teams that attack and press and play good football are successful now, whereas defensive football rarely gets you anywhere. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The players are still fresh and keen to impress their managers and I guess they're wanting to find out where they stand in the pecking order. I reckon by Christmas things will have calmed down a bit as fatigue and injuries start to bite, as well as managers having a better idea of who they can attack with relative freedom and who they need to try and defend against. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
