    I'm assuming we won't be bringing anyone in because it will look bad in our FFP defence.

    I would guess a loan keeper would be in keeping especially as we have sold Scarpa.

    There are plenty of keepers in the world playing in leagues worse than this one or not playing at all who are better than what we have got and would absolutely love a shot at playing premier league football. It is the easiest position on the pitch to find quality, we're just making it look hard.

    I thought Blackpool's keeper was better than ours. Not that I thought he's premierleagueship class.

    Adrian or Heaton?

    De Gea on a 6 month contract

    Karl Darlow would be fine with me.

    Darlow seems an upgrade

    Their third goal yesterday I've not seen back, but told he clearly controlled with his hand but because it came off his thigh first that's not handball.

    If that is the interpretation then we should (and everyone else) be telling players that once they've touched ball with part of their body they are free to use an arm to do whatever they want with ball to gain advantage.

    There was one angle - shown on the stadium screen - that made it look like it had hit his arm. Another angle from side on showed that it hadn't.

    He moved it a few inches to the side, not even closer, if anything further away. Turner lined the wall up badly, Yates knew it was wrong but didn't change it and then jumped out of the way when the kick was taken and Hudson-Odoi stood to the side watching when standing next to Yates would have stopped the shot.

    You can say all this, but if Toney hits the same shot from where it's meant to be, it hits Yates.

    If you watch the footage none of our players notice. They're all busy sorting other things.

    I have 4 points:
    The wall should have seen it.
    The wall should have compensated or complained.
    The ref should have seen it
    VAR should have addressed it.

    The idea that Nuno only blamed VAR and the ref is wrong.

    Here’s the quotes from the athletic (which covers all your points above, I think.)

    Quoted message:

    “Every goal must be checked. Every situation must be checked when it leads to a goal. I do not know if they checked this, but the ball was displaced. You would all agree with me?”

    However, Nuno also felt that his players could have responded better — either by blocking the free kick from being taken or by shifting the positioning of the wall.

    “We have to be more mature in that situation. You cannot allow the ball to be moved, because it changes the position of the wall. Everyone thinks that it was a mistake, with the positioning of the wall. But it was a clear case of ball displacement. It was not only inches, it was almost a yard,” he said.

    “The wall did not move because our players did not realise that (the ball had been moved). That is our responsibility: stay in front of the ball, have a word with the referee.”

    Wasn't the ref stood about 2 inches in front of the wall at the point of Toney moving the ball? So some of them would've been unable to see it.

    If there's any justice in the world Toney will do his cruciate in training, thus meaning that Brentford are without either the player or the money for the rest of the season and get relegated as a result.

    But there isn't any justice in the world and this result will be the difference between us staying up and going down.

    It a sad consequence of the sort of world that we are building, that so many people are increasingly angry with other individuals. Abuse and threats of violence are on the increase (however many words the middle classes retire). Toney was doing his best for his team, as football etiquette demands. Our players, and the officials, didn't do their best. it's on them. I don't consider it ever acceptable to wish serious injury on a player. It's a horrible state to get yourself in.

    We may well need Toney's attributes in the summer.

    None of them have any confidence in the keeper. So they’re all fussing about second guessing him because they know he’s a car crash.

    Agreed.
    But he refers to himself in the third person as Big Dog so all bets are off
