First 20 minutes was decent in the usual huff puff way. That Wissa chance was huge though and a great save from Pickford and then they had a few other situations.

Even with 10 men they could still scramble one in from a long throw but just need to get on the front foot and take some risks as a draw is no good today imo with the fixtures coming up.

a draw is terrible pain and simple

On the red card, I do feel sorry for the lad. He's clearly going for the ball. But with the contact it's really a leg breaker so had to go.
Surely we go on to win this now? Everton?

Ever an opportunity to play 2 strikers this is it. We look very toothless with Gana and Doucoure in the middle... Is Garner fit?

He injured his back didn't he?

They should have scored 3 at least. I mean Brentford..

Our resident Kopite is back

Perfect conditions for dyche to set us up for 0-0.

Another 1/10 performance from Mykolenko with the ball at his feet

He's League Two standard. One more year of him after this, but hopefully he might not be a guaranteed starter next season. It's thoroughly depressing watching him.

People trying to claim that isn’t a red are deluded

I have never met a RS fan who would say that wasn't a red if it happened to Allison. However, loads of Everton fans queue up to say it wasn't in an attempt to show how fair-minded they are. Smacks of loser mentality. It runs through the club but not through the RS. I wonder why they have, for a long time, been more successful?

Some of the decisions made in the attacking third are silly. We have a special ability of turning possession into a game of luck & hopeful passes with no actual intent or true direction. Hardly anyone is being picked out. Myko is getting into good positions but his crossing has been poor. Gana needs to be banned from even considering shooting let alone actually doing it. You can literally see him constantly wanting to shoot & he sucks at it. Why is it allowed???? We have one tactic on set pieces which is lump it back post to Tarky & hope. Tactically genius stuff from Dyche. Tarky also needs to play simple passes when he's higher up the pitch. Playing a longer pass losses us possession in a strong position.

Outside of that Young is doing OK, Branthwaite has made several mistakes, Ndiaye is getting stuck in. Hopefully the man advantage is fruitful.

Need to get Doucoure off now and get Mangala on, passing is going to be key against 10 men. Oass them to death and wear them out.

But Sean Dyche told us yesterday he couldn’t

Lindstrøm to score the winner for us. COYB!

Because they don’t tolerate mediocrity or feel the need to use press and social media folk to gaslight supporters
