Would look so much better if we hadn’t had the points against Forest and Luton stolen from us by shocking VAR decisions

It would (should) be : Forest 24
Luton 21
Burnley 21
Blades 14

Forever remember one game against I want to say City or Villa where he was pegging it to a loose ball in their third and his top speed looked like he was in slow motion. Loved Boyd but he wasn't exactly a dynamic counter attacker

Yes, I loved him too. Really important player for us at the time.

Made Kompany look foolish. Massive performance.

Glad that worked for you then.
I'm just glad we won.

We'd do it most of the time when we broke. Boyd did it a lot. Rarely the last kick of the game but every little helps at a 1 goal lead.

Boyd was doing it all game, whether we were winning or not

Pleased for Muric, hope he's OK.
Is it the international break now?

Many, many times under Dyche. Basically game management to run down the clock.

Actually I don't remember very many because we just punted it clear and kept our shape more often than not.

Surely we’ve seen the end of Trafford now?

I sincerely hope not, he's young and could be a great keeper in time.

Fofana needs taking off. Really off it today

He's very raw.
I'd love to see Foster get half an hour today.

Let's just hope we don't concede from the kick-off.
Oops, beaten to it.

You don’t need to be a poster to see the animosity between the Trafford and Muric clans.

Or to stoke the fire, congrats on that.

Did anyone ever use the term "baffling" before this season?
Is it a word that has become popular generally, or just on here?

Yep, that one, and "head-scratching" gets a regular airing.

The pressure element could be cited - the last home game was the first that I’ve heard significant calls for Muric.

Tarkowski teaches Braithwaite and the wet behind the ears guy gets the job! Southgate is obsessed with young players who are yet to have all the ingredients.

That squad doesn't strike me as being particularly young, more of a blend really.

I have some hope for this one, especially if Foster is back.

So if a keeper makes a save but the rebound is put in isn't actually a save!? 😂 So if a keeper 'saves' a penalty but they tap the rebound in that goes down as a goalkeeper error and not a penalty save!? That's a new one to me. If your team is losing 6-0 and the opposition player kicks the ball in h...

Did you know a spade was a spade? A bad save is a bad save, a goalkeeper error, a goalkeeper mistake whatever you wanna call it but you can't big it up in to something it isn't.

It really isn't regarding saves though, if a goalkeeper has an easy shot to save that he can hold or parry away from goal but saves it and palms it back to the strikers feet for a tap in then that in any book is a bad save

Or an absolutely brilliant stop with unfortunate consequences?

All ifs and buts, but for me whilst we have had some poor decisions, we would be peed off had we scored the Ings goal disallowed on Sunday.

Depends what your defining as a good goal, personally it's a good finish, a clumsy OG I wouldn't class as a good goal It really is as simple as this.

We’d only be four points behind had their goal on the Turf been ruled out.

Yes, and the two stolen at Forest would see us very close to both them and Luton.

This might have been posted further up the thread, I don't know, but Luton's recent form in terms of results is interesting.

Never really rated O'Shea. Reinforces the notion of an accident waiting to happen.

i agree.
He strikes me as being all action, but with some consequences.
Is it just injuries that have meant he hasn't formed a reasonable partnership with any of our other CBs?

Thing is, theres plenty in the football press and on TV who have been very complimentary about Trafford this season.

players values are not dictated by few 50 year olds who live in their mums spare bedroom on a message board.

This actually sounds quite sensible reasoning in regards to posting pictures of team bonding. My worry is more about the famous team spirit we had under Dyche disappearing. We dont hear much about it from the players anymore. I'm pretty sure that most who have played team sports accept that "bondin...

He’d have had a **** tonne of caps under Gareth, then.

Pickford loves to punch it out.

From what I've seen, Pickford likes to get 2 closed fists behind a fair percentage of shots. This is different to punching crosses which Pickford rarely does for England.
