I guess we'll agree to disagree. But it's kind of telling that about 50% of our fans think otherwise, even with their yellow and green spectacles on... In any case, my main point is simply that we were lucky to get a point, although I'm very happy that we did. It was a poor performance and even Wagner admitted that (which is unusual for him).

I don't think anyone was debating what the decision was, but thanks for playing.

He's partially obscured by Mccallum in this shot but Sarge does seem to be playing him on (and possibly one other). I'd have been livid if this had been the other way.

Standing in an offside position away from the play is not "interfering with play".

Weird interpretation. How is pointing out that we benefited from an incorrect decision “finding something to worry about”. I think the general feeling is relief.

Yeah, clearly offside. At the other end, Bristol City also had a perfectly good goal ruled out for offside. I’d be fuming if I was one of their fans. We were incredibly lucky to get a point.

Got away with one today. 2 clearly incorrect offside decisions went in our favour and Bristol created far more clear chances than us. They will feel robbed.

Pretty sure that roof would hold water better than the current one

Loftus road is a cramped ****hole with a leaky roof. They should knock it down and rebuild.

Let's call it what it is. I'm generally a pro Wagner, but that was a huge capitulation against the second from bottom side. The defense just fell apart, and the manager didn't help by taking off all attacking threat and settling for a point at the end. I can understand taking off Sargent at 2-0, given how critical it is he stays fit, but Sainz for Duffy seemed like throwing in the towel. This team is better than that. We need to be braver away from home, and that starts with the manager. That said, let's keep things in perspective. We're still in a great position and our form generally has been excellent since the turn of the year. If key players stay fit (Sarge in particular), we should make the playoffs with games to spare.

0-6

My predicted result was 100% correct (scoreline marginally different but still…)

6-0

The association (with SW in a very senior position within the club until recently) does reputational damage to the club even though he's no longer technically an employee. He was SD here for 6 years, and it needed to be made clear that this was an individual's personal views and not indicative of the culture within the club itself. That's why it was important they released a statement distancing themselves from what he said. To not do so would be to implicitly condone it.

You know, you don't actually have to spend every waking hour defending this cÔckwomble.

Shush

The irony of calling out the principle of charity when he is literally assuming the worst the about the black footballers he name checked with his casually racist comments.

These comments sum up his main character flaws perfectly: 1. He is a bigot. We saw this previously with his dismissive comments on the women's team. 2. His comments to the media are a total liability 3. He has a massive ego, the same massive ego that utterly destroyed our last premier league season after he wrongly assumed he could easily replace our two best players, sending the club into a downward spiral. Even if you think these comments weren't racist, they showed a massive degree of insensitivity, not just to the players themselves, but to young black footballers generally. Prospective employers may not look kindly on such comments.

The logic was that Fisher was a better prospect, despite having only played non league before. I don’t think that worked out either to be fair. I am surprised Mumba hasn’t kicked on for Plymouth though. Given his previous season with them (albeit in L1), I don’t think that was really an outcome anyone predicted.

The fact that he didn't get a loan in previous seasons made it all the more important that he got regular game time this season. As others have stated, he wouldn't have had this with us once both Barnes and Sargent were back. These are exactly the type of long term considerations that a good SD should be considering. Not just thinking about the club's on pitch success this season, but future seasons too, and maintaining the value of our assets. Idah's development has been massively stifled by a lack of game time and that's because of short term thinking and poor decision making from those in charge. It's good to see it finally being rectified under Knapper.

The jury is still out on SvH (agreed that he hasn't set the world alight yet), but Idah was desperately in need of a loan. The fact that he spent so many seasons without regular football was borderline negligence on the part of the previous SD.

That's a bit of an oversimplification of course. The sample sizes we're looking at here are very small, and there are other factors at play too. It's not like these absences were evenly distributed across the season with other variables controlled to remove bias. All we can say is we had an extremely patchy run of form back in Autumn and Josh wasn't present. How much of that was due to Josh's absence is impossible to say, although I'm sure it was a factor.

Underrated - Hernandez He gets so much stick from fans but his ability to open up defences with physicality and skill is second to none - defenders absolutely hate him. Would have a lot more assists without some criminal misses from teammates earlier in the season. If he could actually shoot he'd be unstoppable...
