Phillips as the holding midfielder and Gray as box to box, what is not to like about that? Obviously it is bull but there ya go.. Ipswich will not lose tonight and will go a goal up on Saturday withing 10 minutes to completely dampen the mood at our place. Meslier is in my opinion not a big game pla...

It really wasn't, we had hope but it wasn't based on anything but how well we're were playing on the second half of the season and on the fact that our rivals had loss of form.

Yes and no. 90 points is more than we expected to get, but look at the squad we have. Bamford £70k pw, Rutter £70k pw and Firpo £60k pw (£10.4m) is more than the whole of Blackburn Rovers (£9.6m), Coventry City (£9.9m), Plymouth Argyle (£7.3m), Rotherham (£9m) and Sunderland £9.4m) So Premiership w...

Yeah, and yet it's a conundrum that we've been able to beat Leicester and Ipswich home and away? But those feather's in Daniel's cap mean nothing, same as his 90 points, if we don't get promoted. Id suggest a very large section of the fanbase will be more forgiving than you mate. 90 points is over ...

And when he wasn't back 4 weeks later, and we didn't bring cover in? That was during the time of Cresswell dad kicking up stink and DF giving him ( the player) a chance to prove his worth to us. The fact he has failed to do so is just one of those things. I think we had at least one headline on Cha...

Scottish football is absolute garbage. How the fans can get excited about Rangers and Celtic being the top 2 every single season is beyond me. It's not about being excited about being top two it is about being terrified of being second out if those two.!!!! The Old Firm always remind me of the Firs...

A point re Firpo. He was brought in to put in those crosses that we have witnessed this season, an wing back- not a full back - preferably with 3 CBs ( you know the system MB used) it it has just taken this long (injury under Marcelo, headless chickens under Marsch) to actually see some of that come...

I dont understand peoples mentality when they hate someone or something so badly.They need to go and lie on a couch and talk to someone :) ppppppppppppppppppffffffffffffffftttttttttttttt... I hate it when someone other than my therapist tells me I need couch time. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:...

I'd rather this was over. Now it is final game heartache.

It's irrelevant, it only means Elland Road will be filled with heartache next week instead of defiance.

Some personal thoughts on our players suitabilty ahead of the playoffs: Negatives. Gray. Inexperience, playing in a system that doesnt suit him, does ok at RB when we are not attacked. That wont happen in the playoffs. Ampadu Two relegations was it? Serial failures there. Some people are just not wi...

He is a kid mate - he is no worse than Gruev and Kamara. He is suffering like a lot of,players with patchy form. For me - Gruev has been hiding in the last few games. When we are on top he wants the ball when we need an outlet he is anonymous. He is worse than Kamara and Gruev. Because he doesn't k...

Tbf to Archie he isn't and never has been a defensive midfielder. Same as he isn't a right back. Didn't Eddie himself say in an interview Archie is a box to box midfielder? I doubt Bellingham would have had the season he had at the same age playing solely in positions he isn't natural. And aside fr...

P. It can't get that bad again?
N. It might

Gray is a passenger in midfield. If he wasn't homegrown with that heritage it would have been said by now. But emotional investment and all that. Plus Farke knows selling him would make life easier next season. Him not playing his role left holes in our MF which they exploited even before the first ...

Let's hope Ipswich put us out of our misery tomorrow

Cjay will have an erection by now

So West Brom Pink
Hull White?
SH pink
Norwich White.

I have a feeling that thise SH tickets have dropped in price.

That is true, Shackleton then.

We know if this keeps up he will be an extra winger soon enough.
