If the players are tired, it's because there's been no squad rotation. For example, Rodon has played every minute of every game since 4 October, including internationals. There were plenty of occasions he could be been rested, especially in the FA Cup. Rutter was rushed back after injury and been dr...

The reason i love this forum sooooo much is the number of positive fans that we have on it :lol: This is a team who drew at home to Sunderland when Leicester lost. This is a team who lost at home to Blackburn when Leicester lost. This is a team who lost 4-0 when we had a chance to build a gap. Sorr...

Player narratives and judgement are all a matter of opinion which can be manipulated whichever side of the fence you are on. Personally, where our team has lacked all season is in the middle of the park. We have heavily relied upon virtuoso performances up front or solid defence. The middle pairing...

Just think it might be better for Ipswich to draw so it's out of our hands. I just think we will bottle it if we're second going into the game, and the pressure will be less. Remember when we stayed up, we started the day in the drop zone and I think that gave Burnley added pressure.

Report reveals Manchester City FFP ‘resolution’ delay in ‘big update’ after ‘expulsion’ warning One of the news stories this morning suggesting Man City’s FFP hearing is most likely going to be delayed to next year but the word “ expulsion “ has been used for the 1st time. Very,very unlikely the Pr...

Yes, we most certainly have Sid. Mes - Has constantly been ' a work in progress' ...'flappybird '...'panic ridden'.....but DF has used him well via tactics.....a clown buy Gray - DF unearthed him, don't forget that - Nobody else ever used him to such good effect - A complete bonus from DF for us. F...

At least they didn't get a 98th min winner

How are we still second

Looks like Villa getting top 4. Credit to them. Losing a lot of money like, but that's what having owners with ambition looks like.

Likeable fella. If we limp up then that will help our finances. But remember we have all the loan dross to discard and they will get not much income for us. JKA to pay out and all our other debt collectors. What would we get for Bamford, Cooper, etc? Nothing. We'll have little to spend, but it can ...

Want Hull to win, but not get top 6, as Carvalho would probably destroy us atm

Probably when we beat them 4-0. I don't like his style, but he works with what's he got and performed miracles at Burnley.

So we'd need a new goalie, back four, and midfield for starters.

Promotions are built on solid defences tbh, rather than all out attack.

Can’t be that bad.

He was well respected at Burnley. Think it's more the greedy 6 fans who mock him for not playing like prime Brazil.

Dyche is ok for EPL survival.

Don't think he'll drop down to grace us with his presence though

If we had any ambition.....Moyes if West Ham discard him.

The problem is, we always play well away and s**t in the home leg. So unless we get a big lead in the first game (i.e. 3-0), I can't see us getting through the tie. I've seen us in the playoffs four times, and 2006 and 2008 we were away in the second leg, and 2009 and 2019 we were at home. So would'...

THIS. Well said SG. Felt there was a fork in the road a couple weeks ago (after Sunderland) where there was an opportunity to start working in more players/experimenting with the lineup as form was clearly dipping. Obviously chose the other route of doing nothing differently and hoping for the best...

Usually there's one team with momentum in the playoffs, but everyone is just limping into them.

They may or may not be top level Championship players. But if you have a squad whereby you are able to basically ignore players wanted by others teams in this league then you must have a brilliant squad in your own opinion? So can't really blame the squad. Unless you expect 25 top 2 level Champions...

It's wrong to say Piroe is afraid of the box, he's not allowed to get in it, as he's forced to play deep. Why would a player who's scored as much as he has not want to score? 🤔 Same with Kamara passing backwards. Gray has come in and just done exactly the same. They're being coached to do this, and ...

No it is not, he has scrambled together something out of nothing, the vast majority of which are totally unproven in the English game prior to this season start, he has picked up some of Ortas shite and turned them into a team capable of chasing promotion. He has worked wonders since the start all ...
