Powell and Murphy are injury doubts.

Probably a bit of gamesmanship...like the "fact" that 70% of our team were having treatment yesterday.

They also say they expect Powell to be OK, but his ankle is sore.

That would be the way he landed after continuously diving whenever Granty went anywhere near him

I don't think we have players who pretend they have been fouled like Mohsni did, Powell will look for a foul and take a fall if a player makes enough contact, clever footballing really. Gary Neville puts it well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNx5ok60U6A

I'm sure you do... you don't go 17 games unbeaten without a few dives along the way. As I said, every team does it. I remember one player launching himself over a Southend player on Saturday, it was a clear dive and the ref let the play continue.

Surely 'clever' footballers are more of a problem for the game than players like Mohsni. Let's be honest no ref is going to fall for Mohsni's diving, but people who know what they are doing, like Powell (or Grant for us) can win a free kick time and time again, and that is when diving becomes a problem, all Mohsni is doing is giving possession away cheaply.
