I know that a lot as been said about the on/offside goal at yesterday's game and should like to add my two pence. Neil Swarbrick a premiership referee did not follow the law of the game.
I have just seen an article regarding a similar incident in the Tottenham, Man City game when Kevin De Bruyne ran through the defence to score. T/V replays showed he was marginally offside. Dermot Gallagher who runs the rule over weekend big decisions stated that the assistant referee is told that unless he is convinced that the player is offside then the law says benefit of doubt goes to the forward.
The linesman yesterday was clearly of the mind that the player was onside therefore the referee should not have gone across and persuade him to change his mind. I think Swarbrick needs to brush up on the rules of the game before his next match it's decisions like that that change games.

We're 4 points off the relegation zone and four points off the playoffs. Top 10 as said by Rosler is how the team are performing.
This weekend I would argue Antennuci should have had 3 however, I thought he played well and his performance deserved the goal he got.
I think our wing backs played well as did our midfield - Stuart Downing wasn't mentioned, Taylor was repeatedly fouled and we had large amounts of possession.
A frustrating weekend all in all but at least it wasn't Derby away last season.
Cooper back in.
I would like to see Irwin.
I thought Murphy would have come on sooner.

I was also confused as to why Irwin wasn't even on the bench. If we are worried he is not getting game time and Wood is injured for however long, isn't this the perfect time to get him involved?
I admit Auntie played ok but 90 minutes on his own is a strain for him at times. Doukara being the only striker on the bench for a game we were apparently going to "bring it to them" seems a little dicey.
Scoreline and the first 45 aside we did seem to play quite well but on paper that seems a hell of a risk.

We are still light in squad personnel. Bellendusci, Wooton and Doukara need to go and be replaced by better. We need another central defender on top of this, cover for Adeyemi and another striker as you suggest. That's 6 players. Until then mediocrity and midtable finish is what to expect. I expect a busy summer for us in 2016. Then we will be ready.

The summer is quite a way away.
Chris Wood coming back and Will Buckley coming into the team isn't exactly something we would have even thought possible in May.
As for what we think is possible now I think beating Birmingham at home is achievable.
Anyone else confident?

Birmingham flying willtrain. I expect another draw.
