Thought we set up to stop Norwood, fleck and Duffy. Ledson and Pearson kept all three very quiet.
Don’t think we improved at all after Gally’s introduction.
Fresh air I think ?
Pearson is basically a thick lad. Great footballer but thick when it comes to his actions.
If he wasn't, he would have learned the errors of his ways a long long time ago.
Yellows for tackles I can accept. No problems here unless totally reckless.
Yellows for his mouthing off and petulance however leave a sour taste in the mouth. Imo, these type of bookings should be at the very least an automatic fine of a weeks wages, that goes across the board to all of the players.
You will never ever beat a Ref.

OP
I think it worked well today. We nullified their threat, had plenty of the ball and chances...our finishing let us down today and our substitutions, other than the introduction of Moult, killed our momentum.
OP
Couldn't agree more as I've said before. Tackles I can absolutely accept - something like today was absolutely ridiculous.

Moult did nothing. Gallagher at least took up good positions but his quality was poor.
We had a handful of chances, if we were to truly take the game to them we would’ve needed a much more creative force in the midfield.
In fairness there were chances
Gallaghers and robinsons to name two
The reality is that once again we didn't take them - and for that we can only blame ourselves

Ridiculous booking, but nobody else would have been given one for that.

The booking was well deserved. Pearsons a sandwich short of a picnic.
Reff said the ball should be further back, picked it up and placed it where the Free kick should be taken from. right under the refs nose Pearson kicked the ball back to where it was before the ref picked it up. Hes an idiot and Im getting to the stage where if he was to leave Im not sure Id be over upset. As good as he is hes no use to us being forever sat in the stands.
As an aside it looked to me like hed had a bollocking at half time because all 2nd half he appeared to be on a mega sulk.
Spot on, he’s a plank a lot of the time but that was totally undeserved. A ‘look at me’ referee yet again, everything was about him being centre of attention today.
We had chances before they scored did not take them, gave away a very soft goal and had chances in the second half and did not take them, we got nothing out of the game and can only blame ourselves. 😒

Crazy booking today. A booking like that today will put off prospective buyers (hopefully).
Take it you didn't go to Millwall because if you did you wouldn't be saying that sentence.
Why give a ref that is keen to book you an easy reason to do so? It’s impossible to argue with the booking, even though other more “cuddly” players would have got away with it.
Fully understand the reasoning behind the Browne , Pearson, Ledson selection today. I think if we’d had DJ in there we may have been even more overrun. Gallys distribution was awful when he came on, and his frustration with himself led to the booking.

The booking was comical, but the ref created the situation when he had no need to get involved. The ball was in the right position to start with so there was no need to be so picky about it. Let’s face it, virtually every restart in the game takes place from the wrong position so why he picked on that free kick was bizarre. He was happy to let cynical fouls and timewasting go without a caution.
Not really much competition on that pitch, they where all shite
