I'm glad you posted this. I thought that too, but I'm such a useless analyst of the game I thought I'd get laughed out of town on here if I mentioned it!
I also thought that and mentioned it to the referee assessor who said it was a ‘natural coming together’. I was tempted to say ‘What, like Bradley and their player for the penalty’ but thought better of it.
His ‘heat map’ would be interesting, though. Pretty much a small red oval on the left side of the penalty box, I would imagine. Following orders, of course, given the situation.
Looked pretty solid and won a few headers. I think he’ll be a good back up to Low and Taylor.
Magnus looks a bit rabbit in headlights in the two games he has come on, hopefully that is just down to lack of match fitness and adapting to our style.
I wonder if both will start at Preston for some game time.
Impossible to judge either of the new players really.
My only observation would be that Westegaard looks like he's got good running power. Good acceleration over small spaces and I get the impression he'll be good covering ground all across the pitch.
As far as I’m concerned then, Sonny starts as he’s been an absolute rock. Although I expect some experimentation on Saturday, but I think Dodds has a headache for team selection the following week.
Hopefully Low will be back for Saturday. Grace suggested last week, that both him and Harvie should be fit for the following match if they weren't fit for Cambridge.
A win on Saturday would be a huge boost and with all competition for places the extra game would do us more good than harm.
It's the exact opposite of the situation at Blackpool towards the start of the season. Their player scored whilst punching one of ours, and later received a 3-game ban. Should have been a goal disallowed and Blackpool down to 10 men. Another two points lost due to terrible refereeing
Meanwhile Wrexham are having all the dodgy decisions go their way, including that "goal" at Crawley on Saturday and the outrageous last minute penalty v Blackpool a few weeks back. We'd likely be 12 points clear of them if those basic decisions had been made
However, Wrexham have a lot of aways to come, including us, so we just need to be ready by then.
And make sure we tick off games one by one before that.
Still surprised how Huddersfield dropped off. It felt like they were literally on our tail a few weeks ago and now will be 8 points behind IF they win a game in hand!
Only just seen the Wrexham winner. That's astonishing. The shirt-pull is so clearly pre-medidated - you can see the Wrexham player have a look before he does it.
And the penalty Birmingham got for their winner at the weekend was a horrible dive. Would it have been given if the game wasn't being played *at* Birmingham?
In comparison, I genuinely can't remember us getting any awful decisions go our way this year. You could argue that both Exeter and Northampton had softly disallowed goals in front of the terrace at AP over recent weeks, but there weren't many complaints about either from their players (and I think both were probably the correct decision). Struggling to think of anything else

What percentage is VAT these days?

How did Hagelskaer do / look on Saturday?

Looks a big, strong defender and made several headed clearances.

Does anyone know if Sonny Bradley's red card makes him ineligible for the Preston FA Cup game, or does that not count as it's a separate competition?

Suspension includes missing the PNE game

He was a simple square pass away from having a great chance to score in his first game too.
Bradley’s suspension has been overturned.
Our appeal against Bradley’s red card has been successful.
One of those you're delighted to hear sense prevailed but then really annoyed it meant we had to battle just to see a draw out rather than push on.
Was never violent in a million years, skim of the straight bit of the arm at most.
Let's hope those 2 missed points don't come back to bite us at the end of the season else that referee has a lot to answer for.

Well Taylor cup tied and Low has been injured so he probably does!
I didnt realise Taylor played for West Brom in the cup.
Sonny and Skura then?
I think the Dane will play with Sonny in the Cup.
Baptism of fire. (If we are taking the Cup seriously)
Interesting to read Berry can play as a striker as well as an attacking midfielder. I got the impression he was a winger. Another backup for The King.
Would go for this.
Need to get Anders up to speed and this is the best way! Shouldn't be forgotten he was double our all time record signing!
(Until we doubled it again for Westo!)
Hopefully Low will be back for Saturday. Grace suggested last week, that both him and Harvie should be fit for the following match if they weren't fit for Cambridge.

Annoying when you rightly word it like that!
However, Wrexham have a lot of aways to come, including us, so we just need to be ready by then.

A blatant red according to some learned posters on this thread.
Quite shocked it’s been overturned but good stuff anyway.
I would have said the same, but i'd have Kev Noles telling me most of my posts are picking out dodgy posts😗
