Post Mortem - McShane v Williams

[Ian Royal]

Would welcome. 3 game ban for each. Might then get to see a youngster get a chance during our mega important run in of games.

Not holding breath.

We don't really have youngsters near the first team in their positions. It'll be Hector, Fernandez or Evans as direct replacements.

The closest players from the youth team to the first team are:
Kuhl, midfielder
Keown, defender
Tanner, forward - loan
Fosu, forward - loan
Stacey, winger - loan
Samuel, striker - loan
Dickie, centreback - loan
Hyam, centreback - loan
Barratt, forward - super young

All of those on loan played in the last week and are getting valuable experience away from the near toxic atmosphere around the club.

Anyone just see Dortmund's goal just now...

They absolutely poured men forward. They completely outnumbered the Liverpool defence with 5 men forward. When you attack like that, you are going to get goals. We need to watch and learn how to play football.

Anyone that doesn't have BT Sport can catch the game on the Iranian state run sports channel. Here is the link:

Just use 5 live as your commentary.

Thankfully Dellor isn't commenting.

It is toxic. And aside many others; you're happy with it

Stand by him as much as you may, I've no gripes on people's opinion. My opinion is that we're not going to get any performances from this lot till the end of the season. Furthermore, I don't feel a window for Brian will outcome in success. All the 'looking to youth' and 'building the reading way' sounds very nice from the messiah indeed, but IMO the club should look a bit more thoroughly to find what they REALLY need moving forward.

[RoyalBlue]

Absolute jokes if they get any sort of punishment for this

Why? Laws of the game dictate a red card (definitely for McShane and probably Williams) had the officials seen it at the time. And it's nonsense to suggest they just touched chests. Even if McShane didn't connect with his head (it looks like he did) the intent was clearly there.

What sort of example were they setting for any youngsters watching? I'm not sure how a club that makes such a big thing about being a family club can justify McShane continuing as captain.

Actual real life lol

Not sure what your point is? Have you seen how it finished?

The thing is, as far as I'm concerned we were doing worse and in a worse position across the board last season, yet made a load of signings and played really well for a month.

I don't see any reason why McDermott can't have a good summer and show improvement. He's got history identifying weak spots and building team spirit. He's got history at sustaining spirit and good performance.

We need some major surgery, but we have parts of a good squad and some young players ready to come back to the fold hungry to stake their claim after decent loans. We know where the holes are and many of the poor performers are those with a good chance to not be here.

Brighton went from 18th to 3rd ish.

My use of toxic is as much about the support as anything.

[Extended-Phenotype]

I agree with McShane, it's been blown out of all proportion. What's the world coming to If the captain can't run 20 yards and headbut one of his own players.

There might be a 3-game ban for McShane from this.

Is there a video anywhere of what Williams did wrong?

It is a bit of a shame as these two would have been in my top three for player of the season.

Very funny, but watch the video again and Williams was the one who precipitated the physical stuff

honestly.
he lowered his head an inch.
Williams didn't flinch, or move his head, or react in any way.
defo nothing like a head butt

You don't like Williams? You should have said, m8

If we start red carding players for running towards someone, the game is going to turn into table fcuking football

[loyalroyaldaz]

So Danny Williams and Paul McShane both banned for 3 games....

[Maneki Neko]

straight up oxf*rd ridiculous

[tee peg]

we move on.

[Silver Fox]

The world has gone mad. If Williams has got a 3 matcher for violent conduct I look forward to every match this weekend getting abandoned after refs are forced to send off everyone who gets a bit eggy

And in advance, stop crying everyone
