Good point about the Butts - play off final? Semi Final Middlesbrough? (If CBS can’t be used) Edit: no idea why I’ve put Semi Final Middlesbrough. Got it in my head we are playing Boro in the Semis and Luton in the final. Totally ahead of myself. Mad.

Put a big screen at Ryton and stream the game. Charge £20 and have a pop up bar and a few burger vans, a stall selling Cov stuff…. Might make a few quid.

Next up Blackburn v Burnley. “Cotton Mills Derby” We’re all Burnley fans tonight I guess. Burnley might not want to take their foot off the gas for this one.

There was slight contact in the Morris pen so he won’t get a Godden style ban. WRT VAR I think there are times when it should be used but not for every incident and thereby not ruin the flow of the game. I remember the debate about technology in cricket, and TBF I think they’ve got it about...

Whatever the outcome we need to get our act together for the play off first leg. Huge potential income (are ST’s valid)?

Will we get more money for away seats than home seats? Are we charging £30 odd quid like Sunderland? I guess charging Brum full money for 2000 extra seats is better than us low selling the 2000 - some to kids and JSB etc.

Nor would Boro fancy playing them. Maybe they’d prefer 4th to 3rd….

I know I’m getting ahead, but I can see some monumental shithousery from Middlesbrough in the final match.

Perhaps they’ll have a mindset that if they allow us 5th they’ll play us next game. Maybe they’ll rest best players and get their second choice CBs to kick Gyok to bits knowing that even a card / pen doesn’t matter. If they wound Gus to seeing red, would he be suspended for playoffs or is it...

Luton Middlesbrough tonight. Who do we want / need to win / draw? Luton are home and were beaten in playoffs last year (will want autos (edit, not autism 🙄) at all costs) and 3 points gives them a glimmer (just a glimmer) of autos if SUFC implode (stranger things). Luton after have...

Has anyone checked the number of red / yellow cards that the players in the “TOTS” received. I and others jested about it a little but it wouldn’t surprise me if Hamer’s couple of red cards and stack of yellow cards were the only reason he didn’t get in the team.

Oh FFS some people…. It’s a twist on the “manager of the month curse”. Manager gets award and next couple of games always seem to go wrong.

I wonder if Vik knew of his inclusion in the TOTS before Saturday; which is why the “Curse” hit his shooting boots on the day. Also, Maybe Wilson did too which is why MR had a couple of “keep his feet on the ground” gentle jibes in the Pre Match presser.

Maybe there’s a woke thing where if a player has been sent off or doesn’t drive an electric car then they don’t get nominated.

It’s not too unrealistic that. Not a piece of cake though.

Hyam. True sky blue.

Wilson 7 No clean sheet but really good at coming for the ball and then slowing it down at the end. Dabo 5 Surprised he started and stayed on so long. First half a season in the Champ, he was cutting in to the centre field and doing quite well. Now? Really quite poor. Lost the ball often and...

Agree. The next three matches are (obviously) hugely important and we can’t have young kids having stage fright. We need an older head in the middle to keep things calm, plus, Kelly as skipper needs to get into the refs ear about the fouling to Vik. If Sheaf is fit, I’d bring Kelly In...

9 months ago Ben Wilson was a 30 year old perennial back up keeper who had never played more than a handful of games in the league (ok he’d had a run for us a season or so before but started this season as Moore’s stuntman). Now he’s broken clean sheet records and is scoring in a Championship...

I think we needed Kelly’s maturity in front of a young defence, particularly when Fadz went off.
