We did tonight but I thought he was as poor as ever against Coventry and was abysmal against Fulham.

For all those who criticise him, Joe Allan changed the game. He stemmed the tide in midfield. We got control in midfield which allowed us to play. Then once Powell came on, we started to look like we could win it.

It’s almost as if that’s what you should expect as a bare minimum from a “Premier League” midfielder.
It’s like congratulating a grown adult for negotiating through a day without shitting themselves.

Definitely not a fan of his, but tonight he played well, he was marginally better than Vrancic and Thompson.
Let's not pretend that it was him who made the big impact today though, that was Powell followed by MOTM Brown. Baker was better in midfield and he had an off day in comparison to other games, but hardly put a foot wrong.

Allen and Baker. Clucas was anonymous all game and our whole midfield were completely outclassed in the first half, not just Allen. |

He's a championship midfielder mate. Pretty sure you're already aware of that. Nice anecdote though 👌 |

Yeah you're spot on. That's why he's played all his professional career in the 1st and 2nd division of English football. |

He didn't look anything special against Coventry.. bringing him on made no real difference to what was a turgid performance. That said he's ok at this level in my opinion..no more no less. If he's on the wages that are purported to be the case then that is definitely ridiculous.. however he certainly cannot be blamed for getting handsomely paid that's for sure. Other teams seem to be managing without him |

Powell changed the game for me, He really is different class. Allen was decent but so was Thompson in the first half imo. Especially in the passing out from the back Thompson was constantly moving looking for the ball, Then a quick pass & move. Allen doesn’t do that…

Made a difference tonight. Still a bit sloppy at times but he just made it a bit more scrappy in the middle and it totally threw them off their game. They’d been able to take 2 or 3 touches in the first half and he stopped this tonight. Good one Joe.
