Not clarified what just upgraded 

someone’s made a gaff here

A weird incident. I initially thought something was thrown from the crowd. Son put his head in his hands then it showed the Everton lad being cuddled by two team mates. Thought something had hit him in the face.

Still a bit confused as to why the card was issued that way. Guess it will come out later.

Now an equaliser.

Martin Atkinson is a poor poor ref

Just seen it back. Difficult to tell whether his ankle has already gone before the tackle by Aurier.

Foot at 90 degrees and crowd and players alike in shock.

[RONNIE PHILLIPS]

Not seen it but it sounds Alan Waldron-esqe

[Blondi]

That was a horrific looking injury, it looked like his foot wasn't attached to his leg.

Preston going about their work quietly

worth a punt on promotion 

Loads of time for PNE and their manager.  That's what a proper manager looks like, gets hold of a club, doesn't spend a lot and stamps his style and authority on it and has everyone playing to their maximum, in a defined system.  I suspect they won't hang onto top 6 because they seem to be getting a ridiculous number of penalties and that sort of luck cant continue. But how bad were Charlton?  Pratley as anonymous as we all remember, and Bowyer apparently describes him as priceless.  Combined with some people saying Murphy played well for us yesterday, I'm doubting my own eyes, I just don't get it.

Every team needs a Darren Pratley. Keeps the engine turning over. You miss him when he’s not there even though you wouldn’t realise it when he is.

[Traf]

I'd a lot of time for Pratley.

I was his biggest fan and I followed him until he loved me.

But only people who understand the game Properly can see this. 
so many managers cannot be wrong about him?

also Charlton man for man are bottom 3 of that division. So every single player must have played out their skin to have them up there. No room for passengers. Including pratley

[Biggish Dave]

Pratley is a good player, wish we still had him

That's my opinion too, no wonder clueless Coyle didn't play him.

[birch-chorley]

Anyone still have the Pratley stats? 

[Johnnyrotten]

But he couldn't tackle, stay on his feet, pass, shoot, head, take a free kick or use his left foot. Lowe and Bridcutt streets ahead of him, as is Cullen who's also at Charlton.

But he can do all of these things in reality 

not a patch on bridcutt from what we’ve seen so far I will agree 

[Traf]

A goal every 5 games in 3 Championship seasons for Swansea prior to signing for us would suggest he had something about him.

[Marc505]

Just heard Leyton Orients tinpot trophy game has been called off on Tuesday. 2,000 Ajax fans were going to it as they're banned from Chelsea, that would have been a sight to see.

It's in today's paper that Bolton's ex players have been told they will be paid 5 months outstanding wages on Wednesday

Yes, I think it was in the BN a couple of weeks back.

He did well for us when playing further forward. Wasn't as enamored with his tackling.

Hopefully that might mean the restrictions under our registration embargo are relaxed as a result.

You need to ask Fanny 5 to clarify this - he seems to be the all knowing one!!

I'm not a big one for stats because it's not all about goals but since you mention it he scored 26 in 177 for a very attack minded, successful Swansea, 1 in 6.8. Career goals are 45 in 446, 1 in 10. But better players than pratley (Bridcutt, lowe) score less so i'm not beating him with that stick, just saying it doesn't make up for his many shortcomings.

[Traf]

I'd say the three Championship seasons prior to us signing him were more relevant, as they would have formed the basis of us wanting him. He was near enough 1 in 5 during that spell.
