Great news....pity we cant get back the 3 points we'd inevitably have got with him still on the pitch! Could cost us promotion

Obviously we wont know what happens behind the scenes but I must admit I've remarked previously that on a number of the videos the club produces when a new player arrives Hanley does seem quite dismissive when introduced. Always seems to be in the canteen and he just looks up, grunts hello and gets on with eating. Maybe that's because he doesn't appreciate the set up introductions on videos but he certainly doesn't come across as friendly or welcoming. I cant be bothered to go back and find the videos as evidence but have commented on here before about it.

Can I just remind you all that most people thought Sargent was absolute garbage!! for Christ sake give the guy a chance!

Still room for a moan….don’t understand why we aren’t playing McCallum over Dimi? Be nice to see Sydney and at least one of the youngsters get some minutes later in the game (hopefully when we are comfortably in the lead!)

What?? It’s been a brilliant game

But that’s the point, football isn’t played on paper! Confidence and momentum is far more important than how your team looks ‘on paper’. It’s why the scum are doing so well now and we have in recent history

Christ we’ve been playing really well recently and have drawn a game we should’ve won. Can we not just give Wagner a break and fully get behind him and the team for the rest of the season? Is that really asking too much for supposed fans of the club?

Decent half, been in control and playing within ourselves I’d say. IF we get a second could easily turn into 4 again

Last few games suggest that Wagner does indeed know best…so we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt ( until 5!)

Decent but disappointed mccallum isn’t playing. I really rate him and would rather he stayed than Dimi. Doesn’t appear Wagner agrees though

I don’t agre, I’d rather start him and hope to get ahead rather than relying on him coming on to save it. I’d be saying give us your all for first half and the:on when we’re two up we’ll take you off at half time 😉

Puts a lot of the rubbish posted on the forum (especially the ridiculous anti Gibson comments) into perspective. Got a lot of respect for how he has conducted himself on the pitch and with dealing with fans. Even more remarkable I think he has been one of the better performers in the recent good run. Would be nice if fans could find some way of showing him some appreciation on Saturday.

It's clear that both Wagner and the players were quite rightly hacked off with the fans reaction. Short term this may be a good thing, the team are clearly fighting for Wagner and developing a siege mentality or us against the world approach could help to continue our push for the play offs. BUT longer term the club hierarchy really need to address the tensions and gulf between the fans and the club...Wagner is quite right that we need to be pulling together. I actually find it quite sad how bad things have become since the point with Farke (and initially Webber) that it really felt like we all loved the club and were united in the vision for the future of the club

“I’ve finally put in a decent cross”

Don’t see why not, he’s entitled to say what he thinks if they feel it’s ok to boo. he’s right it doesn’t help the players or the team. I think fair play to him for sticking up for himself and his players

Good fighting talk from Wagner saying those that boo players coming on are showing no respect for players or him and should stay at home. Totally agree

Thought we played well and definitely deserved to lead. Poor goal as usual, not sure if Gibson to blame and also looked off side. Apart from that I think Gibson has been very good! mcLean shifted from brilliant to rubbish to brilliant. Its been a good game but we really should’ve just killed it but again simple mistakes giving Watford confidence

I honestly think Wagner is now picking teams to just wind us up on here, there can’t be. Y other explanation. Madness

IF it is 8 weeks, we will then need to introduce him back slowly. Wagner seems to take a VERY (too?) cautious approach on bringing players back from injury (he is equally as cautious on introducing new signings) so that would basically see Rowe out for most of the season. Although maybe back in time for the play off games (we can dream!)

Hernandez on but not Sydney!! Wagner trying to lose this

Putting Sorenson on against Chair seems suicidal?!

Need Fassnacht off and Rowe on already

He certainly influenced the game, He is a complete pain for the opposition. Made me laugh that when Sara was lining up his free kick, Barnes kept deliberately standing in the way of the Cov keeper when he was trying to line up his wall. Sure it didn’t make a difference to the wall but can guarantee it was winding up and distracting the keeper and the defenders.

I agree with this. he is obviously a talented and intelligent player (combination many don’t have) but for some reason it isn’t just clicking at the moment. Not sure why, but probably as playing in wrong position or in wrong formation . He certainly doesn’t seem to be the type of winger Wagner actually wants them to play. I've said before that id be tempted to try him more central in the number 10 position. Especially now it appears that actuality isn’t Sara’s best position. Ironically he probably needs a run of games but unfortunately the odd appearances he is making don’t justify that. I’m not giving up on him yet.

Many won’t agree but I think he’s better than Rowe! Rowe’s been brilliant this season but he’s a bit hot and cold. I think Sainz has more skill and is an all round better player.
