We would’ve only been in Europe had we won it all and we don’t beat a pissed up Man City team imo. The FA Cup run was great and wouldn’t have changed it. However, it stretched our team out and probably killed off the shrinking chance we had of making the playoffs. We’d lost 2 big games v...

They were talking about how many casual fans will stick around for next season… I for one won’t be sticking around unless I need to buy in the home end next season, again. Frankly, this is just anecdotal of course, their ‘90%’ fill rate will be boosted a little bit by away team supporters...

With the form we are in, we probably could’ve filled their ground for them this weekend. The tickets had sold out before the 1500+ window!

I don’t know about you, but this season now feels like the L1 title winning season. We’re starting to hit our potential. Oxford - W (3) Stoke - W (3) Derby - W (3) Sunderland - D (1) Sheffield U - D (1) Burnley - L (0) Portsmouth - W (3) Hull - W (3) WBA - W (3) Plymouth - D (1) Luton - W (3)...

I’m curious, how many points do you think we will finish on? I’d love to finish above Sunderland because I’d prefer the away tie to be on a Saturday, a 11 or 12 point deficit seems beyond reach at this stage. Although, we’d need to reverse a 9 point deficit if we beat them at home so it’s not...

No one would be happy, of course. Oxford are a small team and don’t really fill out their ground. Whereas we’ll begin to regularly get close to full capacity for home games for the rest of the season if we’re in the playoffs.

A lot of dislike for Doug was borne out of raises in ticket prices and really spiked when Robins was sacked. At some point, we had to start to operating in a more professional manner commercially. The previous regime was never going to take those unpopular decision because the relationship with...

Peterborough’s owner mentioned that it was agreed that the fee would be paid in the summer. A deferred payment may appear in the 2025 books potentially. However, my (unqualified) assumption would be that for accounting purposes, the fee would’ve been paid in Jan.

Yep, I’ve accounted for 3 losses in the build up. I do feel like the stars will align at home because our home form has been outstanding under Lampard and WBA have struggled away. The loss earlier on in the season could’ve went differently had we took a chance or two. WBA under Mowbray is a...

… The first 16 games of the season was our ‘wee wobble’. I expect us to drop points over the next 12 games, but we just play too many weak teams in the division to really cock this up. We’ve got winning records v Sunderland and Boro as a cushion.

I’m just curious how you did the maths? I’ve put out a lot of material on this topic. The bookies have us finishing 5th for a reason, we’ve beaten every team around us home and away in Jan and Feb. WBA away form has been tragic, they’ve drew against some of the bottom teams in the league with...

It doesn’t factor in WBA, Bristol and Norwich’s poor away form either. West Brom nor Bristol have won a single away game in their last 8 and WBA have played Derby and Plymouth in that spell. Their next 6 is their hardest stretch. You’ve got Norwich whose away form is 12th in the league over...

We’re playing 6 teams in the bottom 8. Assuming 68 points is enough, that’s 1.5 PPG from now which is the equivalent 6 wins and 6 losses. Hypothetically, if we won just those games against the bottom teams, that could be enough to get play offs. That’s without winning a single game outside of...

You’ve 100% lowballed us here. WBA to get 21 points from the following fixtures? Away: Leeds Burnley Norwich Bristol City Coventry City Cardiff Home: QPR Hull Sunderland Watford Derby Luton I can’t see them winning more than 2 away games from now on in. Likewise, Norwich getting 22 points...

With the position we’re in now, the club and fans should insist that playoffs is the expectation. We’ve managed through injuries and the change of management beyond anyone’s expectations. The poor start is no longer an excuse, we’re 1 point off playoffs now and we’re all on 34 games. We’ve...

Making the playoffs, even if we don’t go up, it shows the club is heading up and convinces players that the project is worth sticking around for. Players like Haji, MVE and maybe in even Sheaf may stick around for one more season to go up with us despite wanting to make the jump up a level. I...

This forum is so much better when everyone is optimistic!

Bristol’s home form is great, it’s their away form that needs to pick up. They haven’t won away in 9 games!

Luton will be gone by then imo. You know what they say, revenge is a dish best served cold. How much colder can relegating them to L1 be after that playoff final?

Starting EMC risked the same thing and he smashed it. The plan, even the we played 5-3-2 was almost mimicking the way we play 4-2-3-1, 2 players in the box, Rudoni and Torp operating as wide midfielders almost and of having 3 players at the back.
