lake district canary 4,831 Posted February 10, 2019 Key player today again - his bravery at the first goal led to a foot in the face. His subsequent treatment by the opposition, several cynical hacks at him, was horrendous to watch. Hopefully his ankle injury won't keep him out too long.

Hairy Canary 754 Posted February 10, 2019 He has been huge for us for weeks and absolute class. I felt he was targeted today. Every time there was a nasty foul he seemed to be on the end of it. It didn't look good when he limped off did it but you never know. Bit of a poser for DF if both him and Mo are out for any length of time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted February 10, 2019 A simply wonderful player. He was probably our best player in the latter part of last season and once he got back into the team this season he's just got better and better. They went after him because they know how f*cking good he is. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might give McLean the chance he has been waiting for, but quite possibly we will see Cantwell back in the team after all his good work earlier in the season. Would quite like to see McLean given his chance from the start of a match though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
East Rider 589 Posted February 10, 2019 He was certainly targeted today and successfully so unfortunately. From my view point looked like he was given a dead leg during their corner. Their tactics of 'lump and thump' failed against a team who rarely got out of second gear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 1,212 Posted February 10, 2019 Great player, definitely improved the ball winning aspects of his play too. Believe Farke has confirmed a twisted ankle, unlikely to make either of this week's remaining games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 2,035 Posted February 10, 2019 Although the ref provided the biggest laugh of the game by sending the classless one off....he was weak throughout, not stamping down on their petistsnt fouling and allowing things to spill over on 3 occasions when he lost control of it. ....and of course vrancic was a victim of their constant fouling. Time for Leirner to step in if required Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good job there's no more games this week then 😉 In all seriousness tho, I was hoping to see his sexy face at Deepdale so I'm a bit gutted about that. Is Leitner ready to come back for that? Perhaps we will see McLean given a start. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 10,770 Posted February 10, 2019 Shame he's likely to be out for a bit - he has been in terrific form. On a positive, Leitner can't be far away and it's a chance to see a bit more of Mclean potentially. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tetteys Jig 851 Posted February 10, 2019 Twisted ankle should hopefully only be a week right? Just needs the bruise to go down and hope there is no actual ligament damage or anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,359 Posted February 10, 2019 Unfortunately you don't get much protection the days, especially not in this league. Imagine he will probably miss the next couple of games at least, he had a moon boot on in the dugout in the second half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
