Saw they gave out free beer for life to the players who won the cup in ‘87. Benno will drink them dry in a month.

Going to show Frank how much he can bench.

“the defence is particularly shit. I’m already speaking to replacements for some of the cart horses we’re carrying”

I actually think it’s a fair assessment. The eyes of the footballing world have been drawn to us now - if it fails we quite possibly become the laughing stock of the country (yes, slight exaggeration accepted). I’m quietly confident it’ll work, mind. The idea that if it fails our fans will...

I see it less as that, more that we’ve (up to this point) mishandled the squad. If Simms is to sit out a few or come on as sub then so be it. We’ve had so many different attacking lineups this season, different shapes, different personnel, that no one really stands a cat in hell’s chance of...

No, I’m exaggerating. If we’d have gained a bit of ground on 6th place then it would have remained an option. Instead, a 7 point gap stretched to 10. You can’t legislate for what other teams have done in that period as well.

I’d have gone for weeweeman myself.

Remember the poll opened before the last 3 games. Theoretically if we’d taken 7-9 points from those we’d be very fucking keen on it.

Big thing for me is telling Sheaf to stick to what he’s one of the best in the league at. He’s been a bit too ‘involved’ for me since Hamer went. Focus on winning the ball, securing defensive shape and get us playing from deep. That would undoubtedly help others play their game.

Target should be finishing on 64 points. That would mean the new manager would be tracking at 75 points over a full season. No doubt about it, it’s a challenge but doable.

Maybe a little harsh on Grealish - he’s basically been ruined as a player by going there, in my view.

On the flip side, when people pull out of a busy junction and block one of the lanes whilst waiting for a gap in the other lane. When did this become an acceptable course of practice?

Aren’t you advocating signing someone from the Polish league?

Wouldn’t have given him a blank cheque but we absolutely haven’t replaced him. Needs addressing. Go and get Adem Zorgane.

See I don’t think either of the specialist left backs are particularly good enough either. Binks starting at LB but either forming a back 3 when we attack or pivoting into CM to free up one of them could work potentially. Generally, though, I do see us reaching a critical mass where we’re going...

Also a complete lack of ‘aggression’ all round in our play. Cullen and Brownhill had all the time in the world last night to drop, receive the ball and get them playing. Only time I remember any pressure being applied was from Torp but he couldn’t keep it up after about 25 minutes. It’s the one...

Absolute disgrace from BBC. Oh, wait… “She received the most votes from readers of the BBC Sport website after a five-player shortlist was announced last month.”

Why go for ‘Mason Mount 2.0’? May as well just sign Mason Mount. I’m sure he’d be glad to get a game.

I’ve often felt this but can’t find anything statistically that points to it. In fact, our non-penalty xG to shots ratio is 0.11, with the highest achievers in the league at 0.12 and the lowest at 0.07. Suggests there’s plenty worse than us. Of maybe more relevance is we’ve had 40 ‘big chances’...

This is the bit I always struggle with. The ROI for the stadium purchase alone must be fairly poor. But if the club was available and he didn’t buy, why would he look to buy at a higher price further down the line?
