Great save to be fair, but left us with 10 men.
Part of me thinks it wouldn't have made much difference mind. Decent save from Alnwick but did that still cost us?
I'm of the opinion Bagan probably saved us from an instant equaliser but now it's costly anyway as he misses games.
Worth it at the time. He only misses 1 gameQuote:

Good decision for me. Only just over 10 minutes with 10 men. Better chance of a win for me, than letting it go in.
We were close to a win, what do you expect exactly?Quote:

Alnick saves it so probably the right decision, shame we conceded at the end.
Something positve but then this is ccmb so I shouldn't be too surprised to be honestQuote:

a drama queen yeah okay - but there we are then - you post a thread that asks us to comment on one of our players being a hero or a clown and doesn't like it when someone bites backQuote:

There we are then - you carry on with insults after I offered you safe travels home
Pointless contributing on here with some
As for your question that was in the heads of many then he did what most people would have done in that situation - he is neither a hero or clown in my mind but then it was a ridiculous question in the first place
How on earth is it a ridiculous question?Quote:

Ffs how is that analQuote:

With the greatest respect I can possibly offer... You were the only person seemingly offended by my asking that question.Quote:

If Bagan doesn’t do it, they definitely score. They probably win. They didn’t score, it was the right thing to do. ClearlyQuote:

It's not difficult, but it's not rocket science the other way either, is it?
MAYBE he could have got his head to it..... but I don't condemn him...
hero, you love to see it
Hero, great save. If that goes in then we lose the game
Great save. Instinct.Quote:

It was just a reaction. If the ball was afoot to the right it would've gone wide, a foot higher It would've hit his head.
If it was 10 minutes into the game it could've ended any chance we had of getting a result. 10 minutes from the end if gave us the chance of victory.
Good lad
Took one for the team
I would have done the same in the same positionQuote:

It was definitely going in and, had it, I have little doubt we'd have lost the game such was their dominance in the second half.
I think "clown" in the headline is grossly disrespectful and should possibly have been "villain" and Bagan's intervention almost won us the game.
Unfortunately will get him a ban but as a team we should be able to ride it.
He had a decent game and good to see him back.
Bagan isn't going to play said league game though. And Leeds also score with 15 minutes to play, attacking their end with their tails up. We almost certainly lose if it goes to 2-2.Quote:

He would have had quarter of a second to make that judgement whether he could have gotten to it, if it was going in, if it was worth it
It wasn’t the end of the world, let’s not hammer him
Had to be done we were in with a good chance of winning the game still, right decision IMO.Quote:

It also shows in a split second decision and without even thinking he's willing to do it all for the team. That's encouraging to see.
Pretty sure he's only suspended for cup games these days. Didn't the rule on which games got missed get changed
Oh scratch that that's only for adding up yellows not reds
Or we go to 2-2 with 15 minutes left and down to 10 players. It was far more likely that Leeds score the penalty rather than miss it.Quote:
