My mates and I said the same thing.
"Skalak should come off, he's got a yellow, he's a bit erratic and we've got Murphy just sat there"
I'm so pleased to be wrong.
You can add me to the club.
Shows what I know about bloody football

No, that came off a Fulham player.I thought that from memory, but when I checked he only gets Bruno's one? Unless it ricochets off him for Hemed's third?
I would yes - Murphy has been great and was bang in form recently. Agree with you though, he's not a winger, winger so it's difficult to compare. Hughton knows best so I'll go with his decisions. I was adamant he should have brought Skalak off at HT tonight esp with the yellow to his name but look what happened next
Probably my dodgy eyes, but I thought he won the free kick for our first tonight?
Yeah but he's a strange looking bugger.
But what a decision to have to make. Compare to last season when we were borrowing Carayol and Ledesma off Boro just to give us another winger. This sort of football seemed so far away.
For what it's worth, I think it would be very harsh to drop Skalak. He's been involved in a goal (scored or assist) in each of the last four games. However, Murphy must also feel very unlucky to be on the bench after the season he's had. He was a key part in our turnaround in form and has six goals, which is a pretty good return for a winger.
Whoscored.com reckons Jiri has six assists, although I can only find five...
Fulham
Forest
Brum
MK Dons
Cardiff
I've been trying to work out why some people still don't rate him even though the number of assists he has is incredible.
I think it's down to his playing style and the fact that our other wingers can go past a player. Jiri isn't that kind of winger, but he'll make clear chances for the forwards at least a couple of times a game.
Compare that to some other wingers we've had who look like they're running rings around the fullback for 90 minutes but don't have an end product.
I know which one I'd rather have.
If you ever listen to the radio, WA never seems to be impressed with him at all. He then pops up with an assist or, like last night, a goal.
He's frustrating, but brilliant at the same time.
Come on everybody he's a ****in class act, we're lucky to have him
It's just a shame he's not really good enough. I do hope he comes good eventually. x 100.
