“Hey is that Leeds Utd. No one’s ever conceded 100 goals before, are you up for it”
“No problem, consider it done”
"We have x, y and z who haven't scored for two seasons, can you make sure they get on the scoresheet, cos we wanna boost their confidence?"
"That'll be our pleasure and a win win for us too. Cos the lads who pick the rubbish up after the match can get started earlier in the empty stadium and then clock off early"

If we concede 100 goals, we're definitely down.
No that won’t happen. But last season didn’t we become the first PL team to concede 20 in a month?
Can’t see us finishing below Forest or Soton.
Not sure about the third

Conceded 79 last season.
9 games Forest, 8 Leicester & 6 Southampton, since those three clubs won a game.

Swindon the only team to concede 100 in a season in the top flight. 1994. They were on 95 before they played us in their last game and we put 5 past them with Chris Fairclough getting the fifth

I was at that game, Jay
Always remember a knobhead of a Leeds fan slagging off Gordon Strachan he almost was attacked by Leeds fans before the stewards intervened. I recall the idiot eventually heading down to the concourse, he never returned.

Wallace scored a lovely goal.

The Swindon story is actually quite interesting. An amazing tale of one season in the top league.

That kind of thing never sits well with the fans after a heavy defeat. It’s a privilege of well paid sports people. It was better when we didn’t know.
Sometimes after a bad defeat it is simply better to get away from everything and clear your head.
The club give the players ( rightly or wrongly ) time off to do as they pleased and some players spent it at home with their family others decided to have a break away...so what
Making something out of nothing and saying people are not happy with that decision is just pathetic and causes unnecessary bad rumours. Its like they want to cause trouble for the club
