    The latter thought is a beautiful one. Until your comment, I hadn’t thought about my grandad - he’d have been happy to see us up and he was the the single person responsible for getting me to support Cov. Anyway, enough about the past, you get to share a wonderful thing any dad/mum gets to...

    I definitely respect that. Personally, my optimism never wavered but frankly, that level of optimism can border delusion! I hope you’re at the game tonight to enjoy the promotion party! 👌🏻

    To be fair BSB, I’ll remind you that your bowels were quite loose before our match v Boro…

    On a serious note, he does deserve his flowers because Hull were expected to go down this season and he’s had them in the playoffs pushing automatics all season. Neil and Jakirović have been the best managers outside of Lampard this season. That’s without the revisionism of Boro’s bottle job.

    He deserved the nomination at the time they would’ve compiled it but objectively, never deserved to win it. All the nominees are just imo and Lampard is a clear winner. Even Eckert and Clement, both have done good jobs but still don’t deserve to be nominated. In 2021/22 when Cooper took Forest...

    Goalkeeper

    He’d be a great addition for a top championship team. Comparing Dovin and Rushworth’s number last season, there’s a few categories where it’s closer than you think.

    Goalkeeper

    Massive leap of faith that is! Dovin in that Jan-Feb had several performances that would match Rushworth’s quality. In the right environment, I’m confident he can develop into a good goalkeeper that’s capable of making the jump in the next couple of seasons. Providing he’s recovered properly.

    Exactly, to that extent it’s not worth fixating too much on formations because there’s an increasing expectation that players are capable of attacking space and capable of filling in gaps across pitch. It’s the same as when we defend, nominally, Rudoni pushed up to make it a 4-4-2 shape but we...

    It is semantics because the two shapes are functionally the same: 2 WBs 3 CBs 2 CMs 2 wide players 1 striker The differences are tactical and situational. For example, wingers may drop deeper if protecting a lead to form a flatter line, vice versa if chasing a goal. Frankly, formations are...

    What will make Lampard leave?

    It’s the only figure that’s been circulated, I’ve not taken it as gospel and have said it’s an approximation. Lampard was a Prem manager and probably will have package reflecting that. I imagine he would’ve had a substantial bonus for finishing in the playoffs and likewise, for winning the...

    What will make Lampard leave?

    He probably will be the highest paid person at the club. He’s managed at the highest levels, it will only be in the Prem where players will overtake Lampard. They’re approximations, 100% and true figures often cannot be verified but he’s gonna be on a big wedge.

    You’ve explained it yourself because the defensive shape for 3-4-3 is 5-4-1… Likewise, the attacking shape for 5-4-1 will be 3-4-3. Generally speaking. The difference is literally how further forward/back the wide players are depending on the flow of the game.
