Christ on a bike its two games in. I expect by Oct/Nov they will be much more match fitter, I have no problems at this stage them running out of puff. We completely dominated most of that game.
As far as im aware the ref can red card anyone. Even a player before the game has started. Lets say a player larrumps someone whilst walking out on the pitch.
Whilst the player is trotting off the pitch he could still be sent off, lets say verbals or again smashes into someone before he leaves...
Centre backs are easier to replace than goalscorers.
Whoever it is will be offering silly wages that we cant or wont pay so its best to let him go.
Barbs will get top dollar make no mistake.
Ah yes and the moneyball approach meant that we wouldn't give him the extra £500 a week and the 2 year deal.
So in Burnley came and all our striking problems started...
