    2 things, firstly, if someone isn't confident we'll win so fucking what? To suggest fans shouldn't turn up unless they're confident is a fucking weird take. Secondly, going back to the post we're discussing, I think there's a heavy insinuation that the only man to turn over a first leg deficit...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    I'll be amazed if Lampard hasn't got a replacement lined up, or at least asked the recruitment team to start looking into it.

    Sunderland away tickets

    Fortunately, given half our games went to general sale, we're a long way away from that scenario.

    To be fair he could gave dug his heels in and stuck to 4 3 3, we've seen other managers do it this season but he switched it. Let's hope he takes a similar pragmatic view Tuesday.

    Given our away form purple patch came about when playing 5 at the back surely you've got to consider it? I'm also now convinced that our priority has to be not conceding, the early goal would be great, but not conceding is essential.

    Eccles

    We went from lower mid table to top 6 with him as part of the squad and getting plenty of game time I'm not to bothered if he goes and we can use transfer fees/wages elsewhere but the idea he's not a top half championship player isn't borne out by the career he's had so far.

    Sheaf has always been shit at shooting. The worldy he scored against Wednesday was the anamoly, not the his attempts the other night.

    But I would say predicting defeat in a game where you're starting from a 1-0 deficit having took 1 point from 15 in your last 5 aways isn't some illogical doomsday scenario either.

    Callum O'Hare

    A player saying theyre ready and the medical team saying they're ready are 2 different things. And we played 3 days in 9 games after the semi. Dropped for the next game, played the next, bench the next. You can argue he didn't get enough minutes, but it doesn't suggest he was being frozen out...

    I took that a a sarcastic response to your 'any plans for Tuesday' remark. He's been pessimistic since Friday, (so was I but a bit more hopeful now), don't see what the issue is. If we do come through the play offs most of us will be expecting to get spanked nearly every week in the top flight.

    'Got us in the feels' Is this another distortion of the English language I need to familiarise myself with?

    As a ST holder who regularly travels away why would you think he won't be watching even if he's pessimistic about the outcome? Strange.

    Well hopefully but I think that would be a mistake on their part. But that's their problem.

    Callum O'Hare

    But hiw do you know he was able to play that much football? As I said, it was normally when there were 3 games in a week he was benched. He was also subbed on quite early (for Robins) in some of those games

    And it would have been irresponsible as well.

    Callum O'Hare

    I don't agree with this analysis. Firstly, according to ITKs, King withdrew the contract offer after O'Hare kicked off about been subbed away at WBA and he got wind of it. Secondly, he only got benched for a few games and was generally straight back in the next game. It normally coincided with...

    In principle I agree, but we're playing a Sunderland with a 1-0 lead who had success by sitting in against us Friday.

    I mentioned Man City because Pep is seen as the guru of possesion football and even he is talking of a different approach, not because I think we are a Man City clone. But dominating possesion away from home isn't working.
