Claremont Gas, You must hate Wilson to give him a 3. Nobody in that squad today deserved less than a 6.They battled from beginning to end to restrict a good side on form to very very few actual chances and for the first time in god knows how long we didnt really look like conceding despite a ridiculous amount of corners conceded. Every player put their body on the line for the team. i think Wilson has had a couple of bad performances since he was injured but today was definitely not one of them. A silly sending off maybe but it could easily have been anybody with that referee. Yeah, they had 18 corners and 17 shots, but I didn't really feel like they'd score. Credit to the hard work and great defending by us

I went for Conteh, but would be happy if Taylor, Finley, Evans or Thomas won. Conteh deceives in that most things he does look effortless, and I don't think I've seen him lose composure at all. Thomas is a great shout too, works his little arse off and often pickpockets fullbacks. A team with Taylor, Finley Evans, Thomas and Conteh playing 40 odd games a season would be great to see

He must've done. The flight of the ball wasn't quite right for it to have gone in directly. Seeing the replay, he may have touched it, but the ball didn't seem to change its course and was going in anyway

Did the teds celebrate a goal with a flare thrown on the pitch, only for the goal to be disallowed? 😊

Yep, where would you even start with his rap sheet. I particularly liked his funding an untested COVID 'cure' and wanted the tablets stamped with his name on. Then moved on to COVID denial comparing death numbers to influenza. As for the supreme court ruling, I'm sure we'll hear that referenced forever without end. The fact that Palmer admits to law suits being his hobby, and that he's said to spend vast sums on them to the point that opposition back down, tells me that this isn't likely to be a precedent to be taken seriously. Not to mention of course, that scientists, universities, health organisations, governments etc are all supposedly corruptible and complicit to corruption whereas an Australian supreme court is not. The only thing I disagree with you over is when you lumped him in with both Trump and Johnson. He's in the same category as Trump in so many ways but completely different to Johnson in so many others... Yeah maybe it was a lazy comparison. But rich, right wing, lying egomaniacs deserve to be lumped together as far as I'm concerned

Not at all, apologies if it came across that way. Palmer is an Australian mash up of Trump and Johnson and I'd expect everything he puts his money behind would cause me to bite against. ...the worst thing about Palmer (and it's a long list) is that he was against both key plans various Australian states had during the pandemic. I can see how someone would oppose * either* vaccine mandates * or* border closures. For him to argue against both at the height of a global pandemic just means he was willing to see more people than otherwise would have die from the virus...

Yikes, a billionaire egomaniac COVID denying anti-vaxxer. I wonder where his interests lie Don't shoot the messenger. Just sharing the ruling, that's all.

Quality from Brown, two great assists and should have been three if Sinclair finishes that sitter. If you feed Martin he will score, it's a top quality run and finish. Conteh my MotM.

Grant and Gordon in the same team means we started off with a double handicap. Has anyone ever seen Gordon pass FORWARD?? I thought it was his cross which led to our goal? Not really sure Gordon has done a lot wrong over the last couple of games, I can't recall any of the 5 goals we've conceded being down to him, plus he was denied a stone wall penalty today. It was Brown who crossed it, a fantastic ball, but Gordon fed Brown with a good turn and through ball

It was good to see the poster get called out by lots on here, in no uncertain terms, and maybe that's the best response to discriminatory comments like that. A ban is fair enough too though. That poster had been vocal in wanting JCH here, so maybe not a complete racist just perhaps ignorant of what's acceptable here and in real life. Prejudice and discrimination is a tricky subject, I'd be lying if I said I didn't have ingrained prejudices and need to be aware of why I do and not to act on them. For the record, I thought Gordon was ok yesterday and gets more stick than he deserves. Jevani Brown too. Brown was rated a 7.3 by FotMob, our 2nd highest behind Martin on 7.4. It was a low bar admittedly but did match what I watched yesterday.

We weren’t as bad today as some on here are making out. We were a long way from being great, or even as good as we were for an hour on Tuesday. We missed Evans and Conteh a lot. Apologies if it has been mentioned above, but did anyone notice how often Crama slipped over in the first half? Four or five or more? Can’t remember anyone else doing it more than once. Really not sure he is any better than Connolly. Vale played well I thought. A few did OK? Martin, Hunt, Gordon and Thomas. Brown wasn’t too bad, don’t think he gave the ball away. Vaughan looked lively and Baggott looked ok as an emergency forward! I’ve only seen three games in the flesh this season. The first was at Charlton and I see that only four players who started that night started today, Crama, Gordon, Thomas and Sinclair. The inability for whatever reason to field anything like a settled side has been a huge problem this season. I hope Ward does enough in the rest of the season to nail down his starting role next season. Crama has balance issues, always stumbling around. It's weird as he can look so comfortable and assured on occasion, don't know whether he's not fully fit or can't remember how to run. I rate him but can't get my head round his inconsistencies but expect he'd do well in a settled side, which is something I don't remember having
