Agreed and I hope he does (post European adventure with us). He’s also very good with the media which is a key part of that job.

Being arguably one of our best England midfielders, ie got the t-shirt helps

But we know that doesn't guarantee anything in football.

Lampard is by far the most intelligent and articulate manager we’ve ever had. I genuinely think he’ll go on to be England manager one day.

Not any time soon, i hope.

Nah, I was too tired to smash anything tbh. Long day at work followed by hospital visits, meant I only caught the last half hour of the match, which didn't improve the day any!

It's a Typical Boro moment all over, we struggle against the low block anyway, but we're regretting not breaking the bank and throwing 12M plus on a ready made striker, probably from overseas.

Armstrong wasn't the answer though, goes missing for large chunks of the season.

TBH, I think you'll be fine. You are more than capable to getting autos. We all have our blips and our meltdowns, it is why we all love the Championship so much. Ideal outcome for me would be Us, Boro and Millwall in the Prem.

Not any time soon, i hope.

Taking it right after the WC would be a poisoned chalice anyway I think, with Harry Kane retiring and the team looking more like one in transition.

 

[Calista]

You'll beat Bristol. Them and Preston have decided that their seasons are over and have both gone on holiday. Both seem to have dropped off a cliff.

Unfortunate thing to happen on holiday.

Ellis coming through though

 

[Liquid Gold]

You said same about Enzo and he went on to win the club world cup and conference league with Chelsea

You said same about Kompany and he won the bundelsiga

Are you trying to jinx cov here??????

A pre-season friendly tournament and the Euro equivalent of the JPT with a billion quid squad?

What a genius.

The lad couldn't buy himself a clue.

Spent yesterday telling us PME wouldn't be awful when they were the worst team to play us in years.

They werent that bad! They had just won the Champions League!

Wilder is a good tactician and manager for the Blades usually (but fairly shit everywhere else) but he has a habit of throwing others under the bus to deflect blame from himself which can be his undoing.

Nowadays he has one way of playing. Many of the fans have had enough

Last season, with a few starting before losing the playoff final, there were plenty of their fans saying he was done and needed to go. That worked out well for them.

where the fuck did he say that?

Just watch their games and see the repeating pattern which he does nothing about. If they had appointed someone with a decent track record things would have been very different. Their squad is strong , Wilder is hopeless when games need changing.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Just absolutely insane home form.

Not far off guaranteed two home goals per game as well

 

[fernandopartridge]

If we can maintain any sort of half decent home record next season we'll give ourselves a good chance of staying up, 9-10 wins would leave us to find 10-12 points away from home.

Checking back in after a couple of weeks away.

Almost there Coventry fans - well done.

As per, we gave ourselves a bit of daylight to third and then decided to lose at home to Charlton. Its a concern, a few weeks back, we looked at the fixtures. Away games looked tricky and the home games looked a bit more favourable. The task was simple, win the home games and we have a great chance at second. Since then, we have not won a home game, drawing with Oxford and Leicester and losing to Charlton and have won both away games - Birmingham and QPR. Typical Championship inconsistency. The concern comes from the confidence our last three home games will have given teams, sit deep and we really struggle to break them down. We are creating chances, lots of them in fact but we just don't have that finisher in the right position. We need to fix the home form or we can kiss goodbye to second place.

Saturday bring Bristol City, in recent times our bogey team. I think its 6 wins in the last 28 fixtures against them and no wins since 2020 against them. They will put on their best performance since, the home game against us. They have no first choice defenders and two loan players from us not allowed to play so the scene is set for a 1-0 Bristol City win isnt it.

In all seriousness and maybe im still recovering from 3 days in Amsterdam but i think we will get reaction this weekend. I think Hellberg will make some bold changes. Its suggested he does not have a plan B, this isn't true. At Birmingham he surprised everyone playing three at the back with wing backs, he now needs to find something else for the home games.

Interesting couple of weeks upcoming, Us, Millwall and Ipswich all play each other.

Praying we can keep hold of second spot!!

You'll beat Bristol City easily - and would, even if I was your centre forward for the day. They're poor, injury ravaged at the back and (bar Sheff Wed and PNE) probably the best team to face at the moment. You should get autos, but obviously those head to heads v Millwall and Ipswich are likely to be crucial. Good luck, and I'd prefer Millwall going up over Ipswich.

Play one up front and flood midfield with runners and get them out of there box before dinking a ball over their defensive line. Keep getting Conway to alternate diagonal runs and your midfield running with the ball directly at them (create panic)and they will eventually separate and leave space to play through
