They should get you on there. It couldn't hurt.

Between them and their researchers it would be nice they knew the laws of the game. They fail so often.

Great idea, try moaning the players into performing.

Barnsey can probably still hear you ringing in his ears mate, come on, we all have a little moan some players need it, Murray is one of those.

Sickening to be undone by another penalty that changed the course of the game.

Hopefully next week will be a smooth progression to the FA Cup 5th round and forget these big clubs that need to con officials.

Yes, he changed it ..................... and we still lost!


Think we are 'growing into' this division a bit though, so not too depressed at tonight's result. Little bit concerned that we're dropping away from PL division 2, though - don't want to be pulled back into PL division 3.

We’ve just completed a run of nightmare fixtures. I had Arsenal, Everton, LFC and ManU (all have recently spent countless £100m’s) as LLLL.

Yet we gained 4 crucial points and have played well.

To me it all bodes well.

I bet the clubs below us have a load of tough fixtures coming soon.

So do Select Group match officials. I wouldn't worry about MOTD. It's not important.

Great improvement 2nd half but the end result is that we lost another game that perhaps we could and should have got something from. It showed that we desperately need an AM with pace to rep,lace Gross or Propper as they get tired.

Yes ,fully agree as we look slow there but Bissouma will be terrific given time.

We did well today and had them worried at the end. Just left Manchester Piccadilly for Euston

It was a blatant pen, I'm not sure how anyone can say he dived. Bong fell into the back of his legs, it was just a clumsy foul.

Agree with all the comments about starting Andone. The 4-3-3 doesn't suit Murray. Looking ahead Andone should be the no.1 in that position and in the summer they should be trying to sign some competition for him.

Not much in the way of clear cut chances for United at Old Trafford, despite being on form and playing pretty well in the game.

Praying for the final whistle towards the end.

We had some decent chances to score and conceded an unlucky/poor penalty.

Could have been 1 - 1. Could have been 2 - 2. Could have even been 1 - 2.

We don't get thrashed by anyone, every opponent needs to be on their game when they play us, and even then it's not easy to break us down and we always have a goal in us.

Expectations for us in a match like today are basically equal to expectations for your West Hams, your Leicesters, your Evertons under similar circumstances.

We're a middle of the road Prem side.

We've arrived. This is what we've waited and wished for, for such a long time.

Be joyful.

Indeed, I predicted 2 points from this difficult run of games. We now need to take some points from Fulham A, Watford H and Burnley H.

Are you suggesting they conned the ref into a penalty? Best laugh I've had all day!

Murray sadly is not what you need away from home when the onus for us is to counter attack. Andone, Locadia maybe Gyyokeres should be filling that spot. Murray now a home player where we press teams back more

Didn’t dive
Was a pen
Games changed after 60 mins after Adone and Knicky came on.

Disappointing first 60 mins, felt we didn’t set up right with Murray starting (less of an outlet than he used to be)

Would like to see Adone start against Fulham, probably keep March for discipline but give knock 30 mins

Where is that Albion Mojo thread? Because I'm not sure that my Albion mojo has been any higher in the last 50 years

And definitely not after a run of results like we've just had :thumbsup:

Exactly. Seven games on the spin against sides above us and a 5 point return is by no means bad, including four top 6 games where we were in the game in each.

You are right about fixtures; Cardiff have no home games left against sides lower than 12th.

Agree with that. Most thought we would have at least another 7 goals against in our figures after the last two games. Instead stout defending combined with a refreshed eagerness to attack bodes well for future games

Is Gross injured? Otherwise I cannot fathom why Hughton has brought on Kayal for him.

I think Hughton does this when he is going to bung Duffy up front so he has extra legs in midfield to cover. Doesn't really make sense to me either but I can sort of see his thinking. For me having our best striker of a dead ball on the pitch when we have put our best header of a ball up front makes more sense.
