Wait, the other two are probably worth north of £10m to Derby while Keogh is 33 and coming to the end of his contract. That explains a lot...

It's an appalling, appalling tackle. Even in the cold light of day, without the immediate heat of battle, I think it's pre-meditated. You don't challenge with a locked knee for as long as Ledson does without intent. It's not that he's brought his leg up and challenged, he starts high and kind of kung-fu kicks through Elphick. Even though the ball is a couple of feet off the ground, he's still challenging down on the ball which is coming across him - it's not a stretching, lazy leg. It's a strange challenge to make by anyone who doesn't intend to go through a player with force.
On 3 counts, it's a straight red. Excessive force is the main one for me - he's come in from a long, long way away, never getting within a light year of the ball and still arriving with the force to spin someone twice his size. His knee is locked and you can see it on the follow through - if he'd challenged normally, there'd have been some give there, with two players just colliding and no injury. Then there's the studs up - again, he's a long way away and perhaps if he'd been trying to get a toe on the ball there'd have been the give for injury to not have occurred. As it was, the give was in an as-yet unspecified ligament in Tommy Elphick's right knee. At 31, it may be the sort of injury that's tough to come back from. Fingers crossed it isn't.
It's left us without our most experienced defender, perhaps for the season. He's played a big part in our recent turnaround, being the man who can physically compete with players at the back, leaving the reading of the game to Schindler. For all he isn't the world's most comfortable in possession, he'll be a very big miss when there's a lack of physical presence at the back. We just don't have (courtesy of poor transfer business) anyone else like him to step in. Stankovic is a fine ball-player, but he's not a rough and ready defender, ready for the battle of the Championship. I actually prefer Stankovic in midfield.

Glad to see Ryan Hardie scored on his debut for Plymouth. Hoping he finds some form there and comes back to us stronger!

Roll on Tuesday then and the cup replay. Already got my tickets but not expecting a great game. Current form is awful. Glad to see Hardie bagging. Hopefully his loan will be like when we loaned Matty Phillips to Sheffield United. He came back a much better player and banging them in!
PS - where did you get your avi from please?
Grimnir
If we couldn't beat Reading reserves in the original tie I don't hold out much hope for the replay. Who knows though, maybe Bola will mark his return with a win - assuming he can play in the cup?
As for the avatar - hammer9 made it and his request thread is here - https://sortitoutsi.net/forums/topic/186/susie-avatars-kit - Got the blue away kit for Xmas
NickHastie
We SHOULD have beaten them had Gnando just smashed his penalty - or at least had a better chance had he not tried a panenka... Guess I will find out tonight if it was worth buying tickets lol.
Cheers. I will have a look in there now. I have both, got both on release day, went a bit crazy in the shop now I can. Was handy as I had to queue up for the away one after work til closing time at the shop, but then got to wear it to Dortmund vs Bayern the following day (love early flights haha). I have also worn it to the San Siro this season.

Gutted we missed out on appointing Karl Robinson. Betting seems to be suspended now as Alex McLeish lurks around Bloomfield. Not for me, personally. Seems he is not even in this year's FM database!

In other news, didn't realise Boro were bottom three at the mo!

Middlesbrough, Stoke and Huddersfield all being in the Championship relegation battle has caught me by surprise, even if I'm aware all have by themselves had crap seasons.
Think its safe to say that so far, Woodgate for Pulis at the Riverside hasn't worked out.

I don't mean this in a harsh or cruel way, but this man will die as a manager of a football club. Hasn't he retired about three times now? I used to think the same about Harry Redknapp but I don't think he'd go lower than the Premiership these days whereas Warnock would manage a Sunday league team.

Hull are a club in trouble all over the place.
Bcfcloz
there's me thinking we were bad!!
Number 1
They made a huge mistake offloading Grosicki and Bowen in January, but blimey this is a complete catastrophe from Hull.
I see Wigan are trying a pretty big way to take out their agitation at the administration and the forthcoming deduction.

Great. Just when we need a bit of stability and have the chance for it.

Not going into the playoffs with momentum at all.

This may seem slightly surprising but I am going to say Fulham because they have been in a play off final before and Brentford seem to bottle it in big and important matches like we saw vs Stoke and Barnsley
K3V0
Yeah I'm the same as KodjiaMaster. I imagine Fulham will have the bottle and squad for it unfortunately, would love to see Brentford in the Premier League. Don't know why, but I like the way they've played football the last few years and would also be interesting to see how Ollie Watkins would handle the step up.
Number 1
Cardiff are in my opinion the outsiders. Which could lead to them getting promoted because that seems to happen every now and again.
