Hope this is more successful than my JBG thread yesterday! :lol:

I guess we'll find out more at the presser.

VK isn't at Gawthorpe today according to the BE reporter Dan Black.

He can sit Ipswich away out anyway. Plenty of replacements.

Doesn’t say what the injuries are but neither have trained all week and won’t be playing on Sat.

About as useful as a chocolate fireguard. I am hoping the cards are close due to transfer deadline approaching.

That West Brom man should have been sent off for 'doing' Benson. Poor officiating.

Ben Mee made these challenges on a regular basis. Hard but fair in my opinion. Shame he’s picked up an injury though.

Because Ian is a bit 'thick' and often has fnck all to do all day, it's difficult to work out whether he's being serious out not, he'd certainly be a difficult poker opponent.

He did play on for quite a while after the injury so hopefully not a long term injury. He does get bashed about a lot by full backs

Didn't stand out too much on tv, but some of the angles I've seen from West Brom fan footage make it look a shocking challenge. Taking Benson out, it achieved exactly what the player intended I'm sure, but that in itself doesn't make it a sending off.

Both our wingers take some stick - too much. I'd like to see referees make bookings early in the game for it. I notice the WBA right back 'calmed' down after his booking for repeatedly kicking Zaroury. Then Z murdered him.

If I remember correctly West Brom tried to kick Benson out of the game from the first whistle at their place.

Benson was an unused sub at West Brom. It was Watford and then Preston who targeted him.

They did exactly the same at their place.

My mistake. Getting confused over those opening fixtures. Still gets clobbered a lot.

Sit behind the goals and said at the time it was a bad challenge and the player knew what he was doing. Sure the sky co commentators either Hinchcliffe or Wilder claimed it was a good honest tackle.

It was martyrdom at its greatest personal sacrifice.
Even the officials applauded.

Don’t disagree although I’d still question if he’d have made a significant impact on that pitch and game. Too scrappy.
