he even missed in a penalty shoot out for Leeds.
No chance, just read he is cup-tied.

If a player goes on loan to another championship club, he can't play against his parent club. I don't know if the same applies to the fa cup. But you would definitely think we'd put that in the loan agreement.

As you said earlier, Ipswich and Leicester subs make a bigger impact. Could it be that Farke's system is more difficult to adapt to? Could it be that we're rigid in our style of play and the players coming on are not suitable or adapted to the system?

Just questions. But case in point last night. Anthony for James is definitely not a like for like. James game is all about pace where as Anthony seems more of a technical player. You can longer hit those long balls down the right when its not James playing there. So, I wonder. Are the subs/replacements less effective because they're not suited to the way our first choice players play?
Possibly Andrew, or they are not good enough at the highest level of the championship.

We'll find out as the season progresses.

I’d be surprised if Gyabi can play against his parent club, or does that just apply to league games ?

Update - LUTV replied to my email this morning and refunded my £40 but done it in 4 separate £10’s 😁 No explanation to how they managed to take 5 payments from my account when Santander only sent me one OTP authorisation text. Have asked the question again so will update later.

Glad they refunded it. I expected to hear they issued you a credit to use in future.

They said it on the Square Ball's Match Ball for the Norwich match, Joe just looks like he loves defending...and it doesn't hurt that he's damn good at it.

Enjoy 64' :love:

No player made more headed clearances, completed more accurate long passes or won more tackles, against Norwich.

His numbers/stats must be phenomenal over the season.

But still, a section of our fans reckon Gray & Firpo (both excellent) were better than Rodon's immense display.

No other defender has the pace, awareness & other defensive attributes Joe has in his locker.

I'm dreading the consequences should we have to manage without him.

I think Joe's problem, and it's a great problem to have, is that he is so excellent so consistently. So much so that his performances often get overlooked or taken for granted. I know I honestly didn't remember all of the fantastic tackles and headers, which is why the Spotlight videos are so great.

Firpo & Ampadu blocked crosses just outside our box in the first-half.

Firpo made a great tackle to break up one of Norwich passing sequence moves

All the good stuff Firpo did is in the graph - 18 in all.

Firpo was 2nd in my MOTM six.
