I'm genuinely bemused that anyone is even talking about the first penalty. The ball is two yards away when Knoyle makes contact. It isn't even remotely close to being a fair challenge.
I’ve not watched the replays back yet but my instinct immediately after was that we can have few complaints about the penalty decisions. I did think the Knoyle one was harsh given that he didn’t prevent their player from doing anything (the ball had already been crossed exactly as intended) and I don’t know if their player made the most of the second one. But we were naive in the way we gave the referee decisions to make for both of them. They could so easily have been avoided.
This is ultimately what you get with loaning young players. I’m certainly not suggesting Dahlberg was a bad signing, on the contrary I think he’s an excellent keeper and by some distance the best we’ve had since Dieng (and better than plenty that preceded him). But he’s young and has shown occasional weaknesses in concentration and a tendency to make rash decisions. He’ll learn and iron out those faults in time, and Watford will be the beneficiary. He could play at a very high level in the future in my opinion. Come the summer we’ll be back at square one needing a goalkeeper. But that’s the loan market. And I do get the fact that we couldn’t afford to bring in a permanent goalkeeper of comparable quality. It is what it is.

Im pointing out that he is not always correct. Hes got his head in the sand. My opinion of course.

Wellens's comments are just silly. You cannot watch the official video and say categorically that Agard has dived.I understand the frustration and the stress, but your judgement is devalued if you publicly make comments like this, and the one at Wigan.
Maybe Wellens had a better view of the Agard one than what we can see on the video.
Gutted for the players & our support, thought we looked really good & much more of a threat going forward. Plenty of positives in the performance & if we can find a bit of consistency now, we will start to pick up some points. Unlucky lads.

He's judging from a video. If it is the main iFollow/Sky one, there is no way on earth he can come to that conclusion.
I was watching match of day last night and Dallas for Leeds had a shot which was saved well but the defender came in on him after he’d got the shot off, no free kickHappens all the time
As has been mentioned a number of times knoyles challenge didn’t impeded their player at all, he still made the cross he intended to.
