Dirty bastard!
12m to Southampton. No longer belongs to city
He left full time last summer. They have a buy back but don’t really get a say if he wants to move
Shite. Looked like Dyche tripped him up before he handled it. Oh well.
He's not. He's at Southampton.
Fecking idiot throwing his arms up like that in the box. What the feck are you doing?
I couldn't tell what happened on the replay. Did he handle it?
EDIT: oh I see it now. He doesn't realise it's a team mate pushing him. Oh dear
Looked like he tripped over Dyche.
Been really enjoyable game.
Scotland don't deserve to be in front

Tripped or not he was flying like superman
We definitely don't deserve to be losing this match.
Parrott's chance was huge. Can't be too downbeat after that, though. Both teams played well and we have the makings of something here. Desperately need to happen upon a striker, though.
Disappointing result but have to say really enjoying the type of football Kenny is trying to get us to play and not just hoof it up top.
Obafemi played really well. Not sure he’ll be very prolific any time soon but I’m still hopeful on or other from him and Parrot could be the real deal. They’re both still very young.
Enjoyed the football tonight…the Parrott chance was huge and would have changed the game completely.
I was surprised Obafemi was taken off instead of Parrrott honestly.
Matt Doherty had a good chance to square to Obafemi rather than shooting..
I felt there was a lot of promising team play and togetherness in defence and attack to build on.

Again, loads to enjoy there. Great spirit, organisation and clear intent in how they want to play. Still not getting the breaks but so easy to get behind this side.
I remember many of the board not enamoured with the idea because he was a Fletcher recommendation. Looks like he has an eye for it, Collins is great and going to get better
All eggs in the Ferguson basket
I like Parrott. He works hard and is technically very good. He doesn’t look like he’ll score goals, though. Is he just going to be Shane Long with a lovely touch? Obafemi looks decent as well but I suspect this sort of level will be his ceiling and I suspect there’ll be more smoke than fire where goals are concerned.
I like him too and would love it to happen for him. Can't help feeling this is a big season for him, coming off a successful loan and great Summer international break. 9 games or whatever without a goal for Preston and blowing a massive chance last night, can't be good news for him. He's clever and neat but doesn't make things happen the way Obafemi or Ogbene do. If he's not offering a goal threat, it'll be hard to justify his inclusion much longer.
He did very well for the offside goal. If he times his run sightly better, are we even having this conversation?
On the wider point, he's still only 20. We'll need to give him another 3/4 years to find out if he's going to be a proper goalscorer.
I don’t think one goal against Scotland should change the conversation, tbh. He has plenty of time and I really hope if works out for him, but his career so far doesn’t really suggest a guy who’s going to knock them in at a high level. Maybe that’s down to bad loans, maybe not. 10 goals, all in League One, in 70 odd league games, across four loan spells, is data, even if we don’t like what it says. It’s just whether you take the view that the numbers don’t tell the whole story, together with his age being what it is.
Very positive from Ireland so far. When have we ever had 83% possession?
It's 50/50 now
We're 1 nil up so they've come back into it slightly but it's still 70/30. Where are you getting 50/50 from?
The Guardian said it was, lying quinoa eating sandal wearing communist scum that they are.
Ha ha ha maybe it was for period after the goal.
Molumby very lucky, awesome from Obafemi.
No idea why the ref didn't send Molumby off. He was clearly going for the card.
Great strike from Obafemi. Looking sharp.

U21's beaten by Israel on penos.
A decent creative midfielder would open our team up a lot more. Just missing that little bit of quality in spaces in front of the box.
Got away with murder there.
Cracking goal!
Thats a peach.
Looking better with every game is this lad.
Any idea why he's out of the Swansea side? Done great last season.
He's been reintroduced into the team recently, think it was something to do with wanting a transfer away, or some possible transfer related stuff.
Not overly sure exactly what though.
That's not a great goal to concede at all.
