Agreed and agreed. The pen was as blatant as I have ever seen (watching from behind). Seeing it from the other angle it was even more "nailed on". Frankly the standard of refereeing has been p*ss poor this season so far. Give me Clattenberg, Riley, Dean etc any day....Can't believe I'm saying that.
Just to point out, we have the third best defence in the division, so our back four can't be doing that bad. Our forwards should have scored around 4 yesterday, add the penalty and that's 5, bit harsh to then have a go at the defence for letting in 1.
Agreed Randy-andy. I thought that generally we defended very well yesterday. Powell made one mistake at the end & Boogy also made a couple of bad errors of judgement. Given the amount of pressure the defence had to cope with throughout the game, however, I thought that overall it was a decent enough performance. If we can just cut out the mistakes & control a bit more of the game with our midfield, then we have a decent platform to build on.
To my way of thinking we need a strong defence as well as a decent attack. We should have won the game yesterday but our forwards miss-fired, hence we needed to defend better. There is no doubt in my mind that our defence is not as strong as it should be at the moment. I just hope we can get through to the "window" in reasonable shape so that we can sign at least one more centre back and possibly a left back. Of course Gibbs could be available by then.....ducks for cover!!!

Powell has been playing well. He just had a dodgy game yesterday. If Thatch is fit then fine, otherwise Powell is the best we'eve got.
Agree that the refereeing in this division has been unbelievable.
there were a couple of reports stating we just ran out of steam at the back...
ooops.
