why did danny boy take off barker after 18mins? injury? so he has wasted 2 stupid subs in the first 20mins of the game? as i gather collins and barler were not 100% fit?

Two injuries in the first 20 minutes. How did he waste them?

Their injuries were not recurrences of their previous ones in either case. Subs are for replacing the injured first and for tactical changes second.

I'm fairly sure than managers rely on the physios opinion as to whether they are fit or not. Jesus, Wilson has not had a great season but he's not responsible for world hunger.

Oh by the way, we won 2-0. Terrible decisions by Wilson, absolutely terrible.

Yeah awful decision by Wilson to play Collins, he should have knew he was going to break a rib!!

Jesus fucking christ, I know I moan a lot but to have ago at a manager because we got 2 injuries? For fucks sake.

and if we lost 2-0 you would have all been on wilsons back because of those subs

And if my mother and a willy she would be my uncle......

So you're making up for it by criticising him anyway?

The two picked up knocks, they looked fine before that (Barker was brilliant too).

We won without breaking a sweat. What's the problem?

I think he should have predicted the initial injuries before they occurred and not played them in those matches

Who do think he is 'Mystic Meg!?'

We didn't.

But don't forget to make your point by giving him a small W

people were saying after the crewe game collins looked injured and barker hasnt played for a few games, so surely if we noticed collins looked a bit off colour the manager and physio could have done?

FFS!

This is becoming a caricature.

He has cracked a couple of ribs though. It's brand new injury which can't be predicted, he looked fine before that.

I thought Barker was playing well until he was crocked.

Brown has been out for a while and was a little of the pace, he can only get back to match fitness by playing though. I think Porter and Brown up front is a very exciting prospect.

I thought after we scored the first Porter was very poor, gave the ball away and was caught in possesion numerous times. Up until we scored that goal admittedly he was on fire and he goal was a top finish.

The thing is with porter he always looks our main threat, even when apparently he is playing shite.

If he does go at the end of the season where are we going to pick up on a free someone as talented as Joel, its nigh on impossible!!

I say give him a 4 year contract, just to keep him here, but as rumours go its looking like he is off.
He will be very badly missed!!!!

Tigro: Wilson, the physio and the player themselves have more say over them playing than your beliefs and second-hand information from Crewe.

Do you seriously reckon Barker and Collins would have put themselves on the line if they knew they were injured? Do you think Wilson is that stupid to put them out in full knowledge that they were injured beforehand?

Whether you like Barker or not, why was he put straight back into the side?
I personally would prefer to see Brown and Porter as the main pair, but would use Barker as a different option off the bench when required.
Every other player who has been injured has had to prove their fitness in the reserves then come off the bench a few times to ease back in.
That's pretty much what every other side has done too for as long as I can remember.
Porter, Brown and Monky all had to do it, so why not Barker?
Players always want to play, so if Wilson had asked Barker if he could play, he would almost certainly say yes.
When I saw the team before the game I said to our lass I thought he was being rushed back and it could easily backfire.
If his injury is a recurrence of the reason he was out, then the management are to blame.

It was all Boysons fault for not clamping down on the agressive play from Yeovil till the last quarter
wilson said he wanted a hard man in the middle but they had them in abundance
you have to admire the crunching tackle from Brownie it was a revelation
but their early very physical play cost us two players and boyson did nowt to stop it

Oh give over tigro you prat. You can't predict a boot in the chest.

just voicing my opinions no need to get cocky! we won at the end of the day but now we maybe 2 players down for the next game which could be vital, have to admit tho we should be safe now, and yes wilson still doesnt have a clue and sooner he goes the better in my eyes

Barker looked to be lacking in fitness, as to be expected, so I was baffled at bringing him straight back into the team. That said, Wilson has been singing his praises for the past week so it let's say it came as no great surprise.

So you are still suggesting that Collins shouldn't have played just in case a centre forward broke two of his ribs?

That Wilson should have had the foresight to see this was going to happen and leave him out. Who do you suggest we appoint as the blokes replacement......... Nostradamus!?

I didn't think Barker looked unfit at all in the first 18 minutes, I actually thought he was playing well until he was crocked. He played one very good ball across to Porter when he had a chip from about 20 yards. He was also unlucky with the effort after Joel had smacked the post.

Brown did look a little off the pace, he's been out for seven weeks and looked a bit short of match sharpness so should be eased back in. Today will have put him in good stead for Swansea next week a game I'm really looking forward to as Joel and Browny can cause them real problems.

It wasnt unlucky PJ, he should have scored but instead hit the shot over the bar from about 8 yards.

It was hardly a tap in Grave, he had to turn and swivel on the volley under pressure he made good contact unfortunately he probably hit it too well.
