When I log in I can only see files for Woodman , General Sports etc can’t see WBA file or transfer forum . When I log out I see the missing headings can read them but obviously can’t post ??

Makes great viewing though  No harm for us that Coventry play 120 minutes today while also having to face Hull and Blackburn this week.

Ideal world they draw with Hull ! Not sure they’ll have any petrol left in the tank after that though !

Declarations of interest should be compulsory for officials. He should not have been refereeing. Come to think of it he wasn't really was he....

The quote doing the rounds I think has been doctored on Wiki ! If you take a peek today it’s word for word the same but with the lines about family being Leicester supporters missing. It could of course be the other way round and he or somebody else has deleted the lines !

Performance 8/10
Fans                10/10
Finishing          1/18
Ref                     0/300
MoM                  Mowatt
 As good a Performance as we've seen for many weeks let down only by some poor finishing. Surprised Johnston didn't swap wings for a whe and have a go at Faes who isn't a fb and perhaps we could have chucked Kipre or Bartley upfront for last 5 or so minutes . The defending for both their goals wasn't great. Both center halves at fault for the first and neither fb covered themselves in glory for the 2nd. Apart from that we didn't do an awful lot wrong !
The Ref was beyond a joke and serious questions need to be asked if the stuff doing the rounds on social media are true ! How it took until 10mins from time for Choudry to get booked beggars belief. You can cite so many examples of where it cant have been just poor reffing but something more !
As for the bald headed lino his problems could probably be solved by a visit to his local optician !

It’s a disgraceful decision, made worse by the fact that there has been no consultation with any other bodies it has been implemented solely by the greed league ! Tranmere have come out with a very good statement and it needs more clubs to follow.

A few random thoughts from yesterday : Chalobah's injury and the red card meant we' ll never really know about how the changes would have panned out. Bartley totally mis timing the attempted header leading to the goal as well as Townsends absence from the scene. Interesting Bartley was hooked at HT in a like for like swap. Why no Weimann at least give us a more natural finisher. Why so little time added on despite subs , injuries and blatant time wasting ! Left the ground feeling hopeful but confused , Jeez it's hard being a Baggie sometimes even after 60+ years of practice !!

What I really can't understand about the penalty is why the lino didn't put the ref right, surely he must have seen and known ! Otherwise it was a case of job done with minimum of fuss and with the bonus of M'vila getting through 90mins and Maja getting back onto the pitch. Just a thought but with Wallace to come back into last night's squad who gets left out !?

Yes the financial cost of removing Bruce and his 32 assistants is included, so is the money from the Dara O'Shea sale.

I’ve read somewhere else that O’Sheas transfer isn’t included ?

Any news about how long we will have to do without him? Sorely missed him yesterday I feel.

CC hoping he’ll be back for Stoke but shoulder too sore to train on Sunday. Hoping he’ll be back training in next 48 hrs

Was surprised how flat the atmosphere was right from the start. With Norwich just having lost I thought the place would be bouncing , far from it sadly. It was more a case of everybody sitting back and waiting for the slaughter of the innocents !

We deserved no more than a point. Should have been ahead at HT but first 20 mins of second half we were woeful and barely got into Watford penalty area . Reach, M’Vila and Grady had an impact when they came on together as they upped the tempo and massively improved the passing. Tremendous equaliser from Furlong grabbing what could turn out to be the most valuable point of our season !

Picking the likes of Dunk & Maguire whilst not picking Tomori is ridiculous. He must have seen how Dunk struggled against Lukaku at club level recently. Poor defensive picks means more cautious choices further upfield leaving the team playing with the handbrake on

Whilst I fundamentally don't disagree if you have the choice of bringing on Field/TGh or Chalobah/ Reach I know where I would.go but we can only the faith


Looking down on Field and TGH for playing for inferior teams is not fair to me

I have to say I didn’t see anything from TGH yesterday that would make me regret letting him go .
