Different to being “fined”.

Essentially clubs should see it as paying ‘£x’to loan the player. Every game he plays you get ‘£y’ knocked off that price. 

Exactly.. unfortunately clubs probably budget for them playing every game. 

Its like gym membership where you say if I go 3 times a week it will only be £4 a time. At the end of the month you realise your one session of sauna and jacuzzi action cost £50.

He's a great player, but buying players at the peak of their value to be the missing piece hasn't exactly worked out well for us so far.

We need to find the next Bannon, not sign the current one.

Easier said than done!

Disagree, thought they were nothing special

Typical Bruce side. Thought they were very efficient with the ball. Apart from than final 15 minutes I thought they were the better side

That Will Hughes for example. You could build an excellent team around him....

I could, you could, Frank could.

Gary couldn't though, which is what matters.

[Millenniumram]

Unlucky that, we deserved all three points imo.

Maybe they havent done it with Wilson, but they have certainly done it in the past.

Personally, I wouldn’t trust the Echo to tell me what day it was. 

I would definitely not be ‘certain’ about anything they produce. 

[Sparkle]

Very average game for me where our limitations were laid bare again and by that I mean our lack of height and overall strength across the team coupled with our inability to get the ball up front and hold it to bring others into the play

i thought bogle played well today but we carry to many weak players especially when we are without the ball but we are where we are.

True, but I think Holmes is one of the best signings we've made in a while, certainly in regard of what he cost.

So the players are out there.

Physical, but apart from goal i don’t think they created anything, funny how we see it differently, thought we were far superior 

[Ruud Aralliss]

Disappointing not to get 3 pts today as it was a soft goal from from a stupid free kick. To be fair tho ours was a soft goal. 

Waghorn average again. Not a big fan ,but  bogle better today, not losing hope as we looked better than recent games

No need for overreactions after that. Played well enough and they’re a good side. 

I’d throw whatever budget we have in the summer at Wednesday for Barry Bannan. Best player at this level

Didn't we have Bannan on loan once, years ago?

I just don't get Waghorn starting in front of Marriott 

Marriott been carrying a knock since before Christmas. Think Frank is just trying to manage all the injuries and rotate players.

Had a lot of breaks inside the box in the second half, and fletcher missed two absolute sitters in the first. There was some brilliant blocks from Keogh and Tomori. Bogle had to bury his chance but the move was great

We did. He’s blossomed into a fantastic footballer. Every time we play him he’s the stand out footballer on the field 

[RamNut]

fair result. Good game. Both sides going for it. No time wasting or gamesmanship.

they are a very similar team to us. Good in parts. 

Bogle had a very good game. Just can't get that elusive goal.

We played with 10 men once he went off.

 

I am at a wedding today so didn’t go but he wasn’t sent off? Reports day Jozefzoon replaced him?

Sorry didn't mean to confuse you! 

He was replaced by Zoon, which was like playing with 10 men, such was Florian's impact.

[Inverurie Ram]

Good point. 

My point is, did Ashley sit at the back, or sit in the middle, or at the corner of the bench? and did the Sheffield fans sing this?

I bet they didn't.........

Enjoy your night Rams fans, we are fighting for top 6, if we fight to get in there, we will fight to stay in there, and we will fight to get out, which way out, will be revealed..........time for fish, chips and mushy peas and a few bottles of ale.....still great to be alive!

They weren’t, but we’re not really if we are honest with ourselves.  Lots of teams this season that aren’t anything special have took points of us. Before it’s posted I know it’s Franks debut and injury’s, transitional etc etc

were now top 6. and even with certain players poor performances I’m start to believe again as the standard of teams in the championship this year is lower and teams that aren’t anything special can finish top 6 so who knows?

WTF is Eddy talking about 'Waghorn has done a superb job up front'

No he hasn't, he's been average at best and the only chance he had he got the ball stuck under his feet.

How low is the bar at this stage?

I must admit I’m not s big fan of waghorn, his first touch is poor. If I HAD to play him it would be CF but like against the Gumps if he had just looked up!!???!!!
