What happened to Collins?
Can't really legislate for 2 red cards either.
Needed cover, but we've taken a bit of a gamble

No you cannot legislate for 2 red cards but it means we are seriously under strength defensively and we have another 7 games this month. Need to bring in a defender unless we have a youngster to through into the fold!

Well we were short on players all season in defence.
LSF, Williams and Taylor are all injury prone at left back.
We have no cover at right back at all.
Ertl has been the only centre half cover we have had all season despite LSF being able to play there.

Really? How short sighted are we, knowing that we would be having 2 players sent off and 1 stretchered off in the same game!
Some people just should not be given a computer!

Agreed, not to mention Collins

Midweek we didn't have a defender on the bench.
We have had no defensive cover all season and this was bound to happen.
Fair enough you don't expect 3 incidents in one match but it was only a matter of time before one or 2 of the back 4 got injured or sent off.

Reckon Wilson will bring someone in on loan by tuesday. If not it'll be Ertl and Collins at centre half, Taylor or Williams at left back, and Connor Brown, Seamus Conneely or Terry Kennedy at right back.

Did Taylor get a new knock today (as he was subbed)?

Taylor seemed to have cramp

Had a good game today I thought.
He got cramp and a couple of knocks, but nothing that looked like it'd keep him out.
Flynn did well helping him out today too.

Are Lowton and Maguire 1 match bans? I would have thought they were.
Muddle through for one match and we'll be reight. Don't need to be pressing any panic buttons yet.

You we didn't have a defender on the bench, well we had Ertl who is versatile. With only 5 subs you don't get much choice. I can understand why people are pissed today and the ref had a shocker and everything. My gripe is that if Evans passed every now and then we would have put this to bed before any of the bad shit happened. Today is hopefully the kick up the arse that they new need. They have to get it back stick together now

I think Lowton might be only a one match ban as his red was as aresult of 2 yellows. But I think Maguire will get a 3 match ban as his was a straight red.

It was a professional foul, I though 3 matches were violent conduct? Probably wrong. We def need Lowton back quick.

Maguire should be a 1 match as it was a professional foul rather than violent conduct.

I think daz is right. Both players would need to have been rested at some point in march anyway

I don't know. Hope you are right.
I thought Ertl improved as the game went on. If we had took our chances today(or Ched passed) we would have won.
If Collins can play on Tuesday I think we will be OK with the only worry who plays riht back (Monty ?)
We had an ill disciplined 20 minutes or so today.......we need 3 points on Tuesday and maybe a couple of changes (Hoskins for Creswell ?)

I'm fairly certain that's correct. On the other hand if I were Wilson I'd have had Lowton shot for that, the knobhead.

Emergency loan window closes next week I think.
Been saying all season the need to get cover in at cb. We've been extremely fortunate thus far, but today showed the fragility in the squad depth
I hear folk saying we're ok at cb, we have JFL who can step in there. Yes, but for me that's changing two positions, when we should be swapping one for one and altering the dynamics of the team as little as possible.
Today just shows how quickly things can change. One foot in the championship...............................my arse!

I thought Conneely had moved on.

One of the main reasons that we were relegated no move to replace our captain and CB with a similar quality player.

Taylor says cramp in both calves, but will be fine for tuesday.
