Morsy will have his red rescinded it was so unbelievably soft.

Morsy should have been off as soon as Blackburn went down to ten men. There was no need to keep such a defensive player on and we could have done with a bit more creativity in the middle. 

There were 2 minutes between the cards in fairness to Warnock

I do agree in principle, but Morsy was sent off in virtually the next passage of play for nothing.

There was very little time to adjust.

I didn’t think the ref was that bad apart from the Morsy red? I haven’t seen it back but apparently it might get rescinded. Our players were constantly falling over looking for a foul (Jones and McNair). The ref let the game flow and is why the game was so much more exciting towards the end. I personally prefer that type of reffing then the usual stop start *** we get.

Howson my MOTM btw.

Mowbray is a disgrace definitely asks the players to take lumps out of ours, has happened every time we’ve played them.

I hope that's true against Burke *** player.

That's because it's his team that benefited he's got nothing to moan about.

Workman ship performance with a few bright sparks but overall we struggled offensively and just showed how much we need creativity bringing in before end of play Tuesday.

Sporar and Hernandez are going to give us a different identity and it's much needed.

Thought Dijksteel had another extremely good game.

Morsy was having a solid game until the sending off and I think the referee got that one right tbh. Very naive after he's just sent off the Blackburn lad for a high/dangerous boot.

Hernandez on his day can be brilliant and excellent character in the dressing room apparently, but sometimes flatters to deceive because he tries too hard to showboat.

Burke interest finished before it started as sheff utd want whole wages covering which are way out of price range - There stance may change on that on the final day but we're not waiting around.

Jones - Sporar - Hernandez could be a very exciting front 3 

Really need to bring a LB in so we don't have to play Jones wing back though, was excellent again today but taking away some of his threat going forward asking so much defensively imo

Refs have been told to let more of the niggly fouls go, it makes for a better spectacle and will stop people diving and going down under any contact in time. I'm all for it. Already can see McNair getting nothing from his patented dive this season.

I thought Jones was going up all the time to be fair, don’t think it made too much of a difference today. Would rather have a winger at wing back than a left back personally. Thought he did quite well defensively too

Like I say, 3 of the last 6 games against Blackburn have had players from their side sent off or bafflingly not sent off despite everything, and he always makes a snide little remark about the team he still supports.

He's gone down in my estimation because it keeps happening and he keeps acting like it's innocuous.

Except he was letting very clear and very obvious fouls go. I can forgive some of the borderline ones, but the number he was letting go was too far the other way IMO.
