Yes he was down at a goal kick or throw-in towards the end - was stretching his calf.

So he wasn't in control and used excessive force? That's a red isn't it?

The push on Barnes looked soft from where I was in the East Stand. Yes there was contact, but throwing the hands up in the air made it less likely the foul would be given.

I'm struggling to remember what happened to Jay, but I remember him being down.

Jay Rodriguez got absolutely clattered on the edge of the Wigan box. Looked a dreadful challenge

Enjoyed today but performance wise we never got out of 2nd gear!

Barry was absolutely class today!

J-Rods header and belter were worth the entrance money alone

It was a terrible challenge!

As I said it was a strikers tackle, red would of been harsh.

You don't need to push someone much when they are off the ground, it was a good shove and he Barns would of been 1 on 1 after he bought that ball under control. Unbelievable the lines man missed it.

The worst for me was the two footed tackle on J Rod on the edge of their box.

We now have the most points we've ever had at this stage of the Championship season...

Well we have now EQUALED the most points we've ever had at this stage of the Championship season   

after 24 games of the Championship

45 points  2009-10

45 points  2018-19

also after 24 games of the First Division (2nd tier)

45 points  2003-04

BTW  after 25 matches the most points we have had is 27....

Didn't think we'd get a second after Gayle went off, as I don't think we had any dangerous  shots first half. Then absolutely cracking second goal from JRod, but it does worry me not having Gayle available. HRK has no pace whatsoever, always wants to stop and turn the play backwards because of it. He also seemed to miss a sitter fom close range. Barry another class performance and also managed to last 90 minutes. Good all round performance by the defence.

Whilst Gayle is out, I think we are going to have to use Sako down the middle to add some pace.  Yes HRK could do a job for 60mins but we need options from the bench.  We are not going to be able to really stretch teams with lacking pace.

Unluckiest team ever? We've got an 18 point deduction between the 24th and 25th game of a second tier season 3 times? Incredible stat mate.

Any news on Gayle?

something awry there, least points maybe ??

[VANDERLEI]

48 hours before we will know apparently

Which will mean he's almost certainly out for Saturday. I wouldn't have been as concerned had the Robson-Kanu that had been playing since the Leeds game turned up yesterday but I thought he was dreadful.

Maybe he meant in the Prem???

[SmethDan]

I thought he had a typo and meant our best total after 25 games is 47 points.

Yeah I assumed this, win the next one and we have an outright new record for Albion.

one good game is all he's shown since his been here should of scored yesterday and what was he doing in center forward position.?

[SmethDan]

As an aside I thought Hegazi came in for some very rough treatment both on and off the ball yesterday. He did well not to react on several occasions. The 'ref' had an absolute 'mare of a game in the face of some very Macari like cynicism and off the ball foul play and brinkmanship. Extremely naive performance.
