The Swansea match was pretty incredible with the Swans hitting the crossbar four times. On any other day, Swansea should have won three or four nil.

Leon Knight is a magical player with brilliant skill and a great penchant for scoring. Problem is that he's an immature lad who has a really bad attitude and could turn a side against themselves.

Cheers,

What was your opinion on the Swansea game Gaffer?
Also what do you think of Leon Knight - I know he used to play for Swansea. He's just signed for us and I heard he was a bit of a trouble maker.

The red card decision by Mark Halsey in yesterday's Ipswich against Portsmouth match was one of the worst refereeing mistakes I think I've ever seen.

It wasn't so much how wrong he got it, but the way in which he handled it where he seemed to talk to Trotter for a couple of minutes to warn him. It was almost as if Halsey was enjoying the power trip he was on when he then decided to brandish the red card to everyone's surprise.

Based on that performance, let's hope Halsey doesn't referee in the Premier League or Championship for a very long time.
