Egan take the red?

[ormester]

You have to take the red in that situation

 

[Stretch]

Agree

 

[knowsnowt]

No.

 

[Dutch Blade]

Agree, incredibly selfish from him. He actually tried harder not to touch Vardy than that he was trying to defend ffs...

 

[ryza]

For a 1-1 draw and a fine?

 

[Houso]

With our defensive issues? Are you mad?

 

[BladeInIreland]

Lose one of our best players. Nah.

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

Nah. We can't afford to lose him. I thought he was our best player.

 

[1973Blade]

Most important defender we have can't afford to miss him three games.

 

[Sheff de party]

Most important defender we have can't afford to miss him three games.

would only be one game, but agree.

edit - 2 maybe as another poster says. Given it’s his second red.

 

[Liaminho9]

would only be one game, but agree.

2 games.
He’s already had 1 red card this season.

 

[LondonBlade89]

The fact we’re 50/50 on it here, having had about ten minutes to think about it, means I don’t you can’t be too critical over his split second decision. He’s done it before so I do wonder if Wilder had steered him away from doing it again. No idea. But either way, I can’t fault him.

 

[Deadbat]

A point at this stage may be more important confidence wise than him being banned for a game. I was yelling him to bring him down.

Whats point him being available for the next game which we will probably lose when he takes the foul - we get a point.

To me we needed something for confidence. A point would have given us something.

Fleck's fault though - played like the lad Coventry fans thought they had for the last 6 months. Been garbage.

There's a fucking huge difference between the Villa one and that one. 78 minutes worth of difference.

I must have missed the bit where I said “that was identical to the one against Villa”.

 

[Rochdaleblade]

I was screaming at him to chop him down, but thinking about playing the next 2 games with Jags in the middle has changed my mind.

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

Imagine a back 5 of:

Lowe - Bryan - Jags - Bash - Baldock

Egan did the right thing.

 

[More Bladier than thou]

Well , seems we are all 50-50 on this. I would say had we more defensive cover for upcoming games then yeah, whack him, but we dont, he made a judgment call there i think.

 

[Rochdaleblade]

Incidentally, what was the point of resigning Jags and Rodwell if they can't even get a game during this defensive crisis?

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Nah. We can't afford to lose him. I thought he was our best player.

Our best player?

Egan seems to always get a free pass from our fans. It's another ball in behind where he's lost his man and it's a goal. Usually it goes over the top, but sometimes it's on the deck. Vardy did it to him last season too.

He's a great character, but I think our fans over rate him at times.

 

[Selly]

Fact is we won't know if it was the right decision until we have played the next two.

Get some points (plural) or if those and it's probably the right decision.

Lose them both and it's obviously the wing decision (in hindsight).

 

[Brookblade]

Egan has played against Vardy 3 times and Vardy has scored 3 times. If you are not the quickest like Egan you cant get too tight and you have got to be goalside he doesnt do that and only one winner in a foot race I'm afraid

 

[Antonb]

nothing to do with fleck losing the ball then, or basham on vardys first goal against us then

 

[CaptainMorgans]

The two arent exclusive.

Steady on, we’ve gifted possessions to Maddison who then has the defence in his sight with no challenge, it becomes at that point a question of 1) can he thread the pass through for Vardy and 2) can Egan win a foot race with Vardy. We know the answer to 2, so as soon as the pass was good, it was always going to be a goal.

It’s not Egan’s fault.

 

[William Large]

Egan should have gone straight through Vardy. Or in the very least, pulled him back to save the draw.
if you think we are getting anything at Soton next week then you are off your tits.

Playing him on.

Done by a ball in behind.

Of course it's not solely Egans fault. But he's regularly done by the same ball when left one on one.

 

[SwissBlade]

You have to take the red in that situation

Dark arts....yes take the red

 

[ormester]

Dark arts like Leicester did all game on Mcburnie yes in circumstances you take one for the team

 

[Wincobank S9 Blade]

He’d be out for 3 games wouldn’t he I think so maybe not Fleck should have done better realistically
