    Just two points.

    Firstly, I agree that Jonah should’ve taken the pen, but if a Green was nominated then fair enough. At least we didn’t have the unedifying sight of a public bust up as at Stoke last season!

    Second, we can’t be world beaters one week and relegation fodder the next. A little perspective would surely suggest that we can better judge our chances at the end of September. Until then, enjoy what comes around.

    ThoughtGreen was unlucky not to score, an outstretched foot by a defender on the line.
    Early 30's , late 20's players.....
    Of the top of my head without googling it.
    Porter
    Dagnall
    Miller
    Raynes
    Nichols
    Seems your glass is not even half full, more like a dribble of second rate French wine.

    Take out Dagnall, add in Nolan and Hunt. 3 started the first match, 4 the second so still a young and pretty pacey starting 11.

    Its one of those games where we played a poor side who make life difficult at home and we looked an even worse side. If you score the penalty you come away saying its a good result but miss and you are crying in your beer. Other than that why was Greene taking the penalty when Jones is on the pitch, seems a strange decision and maybe DA should have resolved that situation before the game. Never let the elder statesman make the decision when three is a better option, its ok if you score but it was an extremely poor attempt by all accounts.

    According to Richards, big row after the game with more than a few players criticising Artells pre match preparation.
    Healthy? Or worrying that the wheels are coming off after 2 games.

    Did Richards actually say that the players were criticising the manager? Was that in a recorded interview or was he telling tales out of school? I don't like the sound of player revolt at this early stage of the season, if this indeed was the case. Not good.
