For me it’s got nothing to do with pre and early season predictions, todays disappointment is based upon our catastrophic decline over the past handful of games. Maybe we flattered to deceive, but who, in March, foresaw this dramatic drop off in performance, and the lack of a cohesive plan to remed...

Everyone talks about what Bielsa did and rightly so but I think the bar just got raised somewhat. Yes they may get walloped next year and you never know we could be one of the wallopers It will be interesting to see how he does next season as it is hard to judge him fully yet. He has done a superb ...

He was one of very very few to turn up today. Taken a ton of stick, some fair some not. But he did it all today. Created the most chances on the pitch. Scored our only goal. Used the ball intelligently and linked play and held up the ball. Not to mention won most of his individual battles and even ...

Yep unfortunately we finished the season in a similar fashion to the way we started it and that's why the Championship is such a slog over 46 games. Bonus potential extra 3 weeks to come now as well. Also maybe a reminder to all those fans predicting over 100 points that the Championship is the har...

Without any eyes I wouldn't see very much,

Our record vs our playoff rivals is Played 6 Won 2 Lost 3 Drawn 1. 1.16ppg Southampton. Played 6 4 wins 2 draws. 2.33 What's done for Southampton was the performances vs Leicester and Ipswich they actually have a slightly better record vs the rest of the top half than we do. And worryingly for us f...

Perfectly capable of doing it, think a more skillful Dan James.

He is a one trick pony. Put him on the right and he is a no trick pony.

That is it. We are worse off than 1 season ago. The boat has sailed, people are saying it took time for Bielsa, and Farke did it before using time. They don't get it. We are losing the players who dragged us up the table, and don't have money to replace them. The ones who failed us in the prem are ...

Isn't it part of a manager's job to find solutions as Bielsa used to say though? He had January if he wanted to try something different but needs 1 or 2 new players? I don't think Gnonto is suited to playing a right wing traditional role as I said before and felt if Farke insisted on persisting wit...

And they've had numerous chances and offered nothing. It's not just 1 game either, it's been 8 games or so. I think you will find it has been 46 matches and for the most part those players that have been out of form recently have been in form. Our best hope is if those players regain their form rat...

Absolutely. Pre match chat, fine but post match is still about something that has happened and should be a continuation of the match thread. I don't see a reason to close the match thread so early - maybe give it 30 minutes because if people are watching on different streams they could be several m...

Our own fault for signing so many Welsh players. There were also chances for Ampadu and Rodon to be rested, but they never were. The trouble is that the opportunities to rest them were when we were chasing and where a bad result would have potentially ended our top 2 hopes a long time ago. We have ...

No excuses for Farke today or his fans. Ipswich were never going to lose to an already relegated Hudds, who probably joined in the celebrations with them. He had a chance to rest out of form players and didn't. He had a chance to try something different and didnt. He had no pressure and a free hit ...

bodes well for the playoffs at least! It does although the worry is that WBA basically mirrored the lesser team's approach against us and had success against us. Southampton is the unknown as we saw when Leicester went at us that they created good chances and Southampton are probably more clinical ...

There's that and there's the worry that our league best forward line is undefendable any other way so teams plan to be more defensive to cope Barndoor Bamford & Row Z Rutter? James and Gnonto inconsistent and both prefer having lots of space.The only consistent threat has been Summerville with ...

Some of you may recall a thread I started a few months back about Southampton being flat track bullies and basically pointing out how their great run had been schewed by facing only 6 top half teams in their 25 match unbeaten run (they drew 4 of those 6 matches against the better opposition). I also...

What’s a baboob?
A baboon mixed with a boob?

I couldn't describe you any better than that!

Update from Connor on Farke's future, option to sign Rodon and keeping the squad together. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6d_ZjcPDVk I think signing Rodon and Roberts permanently is dependent on us getting promotion. If Spurs, or Burnley, are looking to fleece us then we should look elsewhere for...

I thought for a terrible moment you had called me a baboon. I draw the line at baboon I can tell you. Maybe a macaque but a baboon is going too far. I am exceptionally talented at keepy uppy with a balloon. My record is 9 ups. In the immortal words of Lisa Simpson you sir are a baboon. Baboob, babo...

Not the same though is it. If Udders concede early they’ll fold as in reality they have nothing to play for as opposed to earlier in the season. No match is the same, different players, different pitch, different officials, different kits. Two things likely to be the same are the size of the goals ...
