Yep harsh as I don't think it's anywhere near enough to push the defender over but the ref probably only sees Salech have his arms out.
Defender buys it or naturally loses his balance as he has been beaten by a good ball and movement.
I don't think it's a foul but another slightly naive moment to give the ref the chance to blow.
Heres what I said Billy Liar.
As good as he’s looked at times, especially joining in the attack, he’s also been caught ot plenty of times defensively in League One games so far too, you just don’t get punished as often at that level so it doesn’t compound the mistake. He was lucky not to throw 2 points away against Peterborough only Turner bailed him out.
Hes only 18 so there’s going to be ups and downs but people are going a bit overboard imo. I think he needs to concentrate on establishing himself with City before people start making out he’s the next Trent.
Pop along to the loonys forum and try and get a bite off Sludge because these efforts are utterly embarrasing.

Thats shocking a good young player making his welsh debut and you're on his back, show me where he or anyone has said he was the next Trent?
I think you would have followed it up with much more, if you weren't pulled up on it early, you've ralised the error of your ways thankfully.
How about this -
"Kpakio is nowhere near ready for international football yet. Bellers will be doing the kid more harm than good if he continues to select him. Concentrate on establishing himself with City andstart getting international experience in the under 21s. hes not some wonderkid who is so good he can skip an age group."
He clearly is as he has been called up again, do you think you know more than Bellamy and BBM who regurlary picks him?![]()
Well if the Canada game is anything to go by, JR is correct.
Could it be Bellamy is just locking a player down from being poached in case he comes good enough to be a frequent contributor to the team. Everyone thought Woodburn was the next big thing, turns out he was a pile of shit.
Nothing wrong with that goal great center forward play. I wish BBM would instruct Willock to cut in a cross with his right foot more often. It causes problems more often than not and is a great source for Salech.
Yeah? You need more than one appearance these days to be locked down, it's 3. Keep up at the back.
Woodburn was also picked for big games. So are plenty of our youngsters. Most of them are shit or turn out to be shit. Breaking news, we have no depth so these players get called up for us.
There just sems to be a lack of cohesion with the front 3. There were quite a few occasions where Salech made a run on the break and the ball didn't go to him when it was on. Also never seem to put in an early cross on the run - forever cutting back inside and letting the opposition defense get set.
Hopefully with a bit of tweaking it'll come good. Let's be clear, we don't really have any poor players - they can have bad games but it doesn't make them sh!t.
Good comments from BBM. Don't worry about the ref; concentrate and improve your runs to be in the best goal-scoring positions.
BBM - "The minute we get into talking about referees, we go away from things that we can control.
So for Yousef Salech the focus has to be on his movements which are very specific to him and exceptional.
He has to be aware of what defenders are doing to stop him. A lot of the time that's prolonged dragging and holding which is against the rules and a big thing about this season is that wouldn't happen but it is happening to him.
Our focus is for him to avoid that and get out of the space of defenders when the ball is coming to him. He did that Tuesday night and the goal was disallowed.
But we can't plan for that error from the referee. We can only work on Yousef's movement being so good, so often. And working with Chris Willock to have the right timing of the cross as it was on Tuesday night, which was perfect. And to have that with all the players so deciding when they're going to move and the timing of the pass.
My concern is if he does think he's doing something wrong and moves away from what he does best, and try and plan for something that we don't think is beneficial to him. Our focus is to have him in dangerous positions in the box where we know he's at his most capable, the same with Callum Robinson and Isaak Davies.
Then having our players find the most efficient way to serve him, that won't change over the course of the season."
Shouldn't the captains keep pointing out the dragbacks and shirt pulls to the ref every time so they eventually feel the pressure to give a penalty?
Extremely wishful thinking if he’s expecting Salech to have the movement not to be in arms way of a defender playing in a very low block and a packed box.
Reading between the lines, he's saying to just get on with it, find a way around the problem, i think it's a more general message to his players. I may be wrong, although i like it. Control the stuff you can control and put all of your energy in to that. I like BBM's attitude, he hasn't bigged up players either, because from where i'm sitting, he expects more out of them, no matter who old or young they are. I hate excuses, so this is right up my street.
