Washington out.

[BigBed]

Hamstring injury, luckily we have Madine and Hogan, so shouldn't affect anything at all.

 

[Akinbiyi]

Even if we didn't have them it wouldn't affect anything at all.

If all of our strikers got injured in the next 2 days I'd still have sooner played Martin Cranie upfront on Saturday than Washington.

Cranie up top with Norwood - that'd confuse the oppo back line.

More chance of scoring than with Washington, with all due respect to the lad

Tbf to him I'm not sure he's played 2 games worth of mins for us, his first touch has looked poor but he puts a shift in when he comes on.

Interesting view, he certainly looked decent at Brentford and against Villa he chased everything.

Don't think having Madine or Hogan is owt to do with luck

No good being able to chase everything if you have a lack of footballing ability. Washington is our Championship version of Matt Done.

He had a decent game at Brentford though, agree with that.

He had football ability down at Brentford, had a really good game and didn't let himself or anyone down

He played the role he was given at Villa, personally i like him

 

[fintious maximus]

I’m not anti Washington. I think he could be quite decent if he got gane time and when he comes on he’s a bit of a menance for the opposition. Reminds me a bit of Ricky Holmes

Did he touch the ball?

You wouldn't put it past Wilder............ & you wouldn't bet against it working either

 

[SwissBlade]

Did he touch the ball?

Yep.

 

[Akinbiyi]

Yep.

Must've missed that

 

[TCsLoveChild]

didn't he cost us the 3 points at Rotherham? UTB

 

[Robby Blade]

Shit defending cost us 3 points against Rotherham.

 

[sufcboy95]

Is he on loan or have we signed him??

 

[ben1987]

He signed permanently after cancelling his contract at QPR.

Set up the winning goal

That was Johnson, but in fairness I don't blame him for that.
As much as I don't rate the lad he gave the ball away on half way (stupidly) - but there were 4/5 players who could've and should've intervened before Rotherham put it in the onion bag.

 

[Akinbiyi]

Set up the winning goal

Against Villa? I don't think he did

 

[Chali 2na]

Don't kid yourself.

By saying you'd "sooner played Martin Cranie upfront" and that he has "more chance of scoring than with Washington" you're denigrating the man.

I don't think it's unfair to say Washington is struggling, or that he's currently 5th choice - I just can't fathom the need to insult him.

 

[SwissBlade]

Must've missed that

Happy that i can help then

Done scored some goals.

 

[sheffielder]

Well it’s pleasing to know (not) that some can still find the need to finding a whipping boy when we are doing so well.

He’s not a whipping boy he’s just crap, he doesn’t play

 

[sheffielder]

Which beggars the question, why the need.

 

[knowsnowt]

Is Cranie the new Monty?

 

[LJBlade]

Against Villa? I don't think he did

You didn't mention Villa, Swiss was talking about Brentford and Villa.

He set the winner up against Brentford. He didn't set the winner up against Villa.

 

[ucandomagic]

He did hit the bar against Leeds with an overhead kick, and very nearly rescued the point that Deano had given away!
