Coutts

[Bruce Wayne]

Not at his best today and he will be a lucky man if that blatant elbow is not reviewed. Looked like a deliberate strike out to me.

Shhhhhhh!!!!

 

[Harry's Game]

I believe he is very close to a ban anyway, been booked 4 times I think.

I must admit I thought it was a shoulder at first but some know who was closer to it thought it was a deliberate elbow. Three game ban coming up I reckon

Looked like a forearm to me. Just a question of whether it was violent conduct or just a foul.

 

[Ricky]

He was probably our best player today IMO.

But yes, he'll get banned regardless of what he's done. Can't be having our key midfielder fit for a Sheffield derby now can we...

Yep. My man of the match. Always showed for the ball and unlike others was keen to pass it forwards.

 

[Toronto Blade]

If you want to roll around on the pitch as though you have been shot and cry to the ref he was given a gentle excuse.

 

[Roygbiv]

I didn't think his passing was as accurate as it has been but I loved how he demanded the ball throughout the game. To be honest I didn't think any of the midfield 3 had their best games but they were all decent.

 

[Pinchy]

He was excellent, as ever. The lads gave everything and kept playing the right way. No complaints from me.

I imagine the loonies are out in full force tonight? I've just popped in with this. No time to go drivel-hunting but I'm sure it's out there...

 

[Harry's Game]

A Midfield of Fleck, Brooks and Duffy suddenly looks a bit lightweight for games against Wednesday & Wolves.

I just hope the ref has it down as having seen it then it can't be reviewed, it was a deffo fore arm smash to the face

 

[Ricky]

To be honest I didn't think any of the midfield 3 had their best games but they were all decent.

Yet we still had apparently 68% possession against Norwich. We've come a very long way.

I thought it was more of a push with his hand to the face. Less serious, but had it been seen it would have been a definite second yellow.

 

[gavtheblade]

Thought fleck played really well today,shame everything he did came to nothing!

Surely Lundstram would replace Coutts?

 

[LoughboroBlade]

He had a decent 2nd half. He and Fleck weren't at their best first half in my view. Coutts must have had at least three diagonal drives that he hit straight into touch – he noticeably didn't do any 2nd half.

 

[Harry's Game]

Surely Lundstram would replace Coutts?

Not sure if that fills me with anymore confidence to be honest.

 

[boo radley]

Ample .

It wasn't meant as criticism at all. Even not at their best those 3 are still more than good enough at this level

I know it wasn't. Just pointing out that we can control a game to such an extent against a strong opponent without even playing our best. I can't believe how far we've come in the space of a year.

 

[McGrath]

I thought he was quality today. Didn't see any elbow though. Would be surprised if it was deliberate even if it looked deliberate

I think that all 3 have shown they are Championship players. I had no doubts over Coutts but Fleck has never played at this level before and Duffy has never shone either but they have just picked up from where they left off last season. It was like a League One game today in that we controlled the game in the middle and I had to keep reminding myself when I was getting frustrated that we weren't up against a Walsall but against a team who expect to get into the play offs this season

 

[WeHateWednesday]

No expert,but isn't the fact that the referee dealt with it on the pitch the end of the matter?

 

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

I thought Coutts was MOM - always wanted the ball and used it well, apart from the odd David Unsworth long pass when a simple ball would have done.

I hope he is not banned for SWFC match.
