Sheffield Wednesday v Rovers: 2nd December 2023

I agree the ref was terrible some of wednesday tackling were red cards but the ref never even booked them.Garrett is more than a DM he has great passing ability and can score goals.

Doesn't need to come in for anyone necessarily but he should be used regularly from the bench to give the other midfielders a kick up the arse. Yesterday Moran, Tronstad and Wharton were very poor and any of them could have been taken off on 60 mins. I think they had been bullied physically and verbally by Vaulks and Co from the start. With no protection from the Referee young (and many overseas) players can be intimidated and especially when there is no Trav to take the hard men on. Garrett is a tough guy too, and last time out gave a very good account of himself.

Yeah thats a good shout. I do think refs have a bizarre attitude to the Championship. There seems to be this general agreement that it should be a rough and physical league, so will be reffed accordingly.

The likes of Leicester and Leeds are always protected from this by being big clubs who are expected to get promoted and so refs seem to take the attitude that they should help them.

We get no such luxury though so yeah, as much of a throwback as it is, we need some hardmen in the team. We do miss Travis in such games, is asking a 20 year old to do the same job putting a lot on Garret though? I guess Trav wasn't much older when he was expected to do the same.

Nothing wrong with that tackle!

That video also reminded me of that annoying prat with the bells.

Rovers have received a apology from the referees for the 2nd goal on Saturday,not like it does us any good.
