Clubs like ours? Mate you’re fucking repeated financial dopers and cheating scum, nothing alike at all. Owners like yours are just as much a part of the ongoing financial destruction of English football as the “big 6 or 7” you guys were proclaiming yourselves to be apart of a few years ago.

Not worrying too much about losing to be honest, pressure is all on them and I never expected us to still be in the fa cup in mid March anyway. As long as we don’t get absolutely pumped, I’ll be alright. Got a feeling a number of our better players (Haji, Simms, COH, Sheaf etc.,) will want to...

Just caught Haji’s second goal again on the highlights. What a top goal that was. Nice first touch takes it away from defence, then right in the bottom corner from 20 yards out on his left foot too. Nice to see another side of his finishing as he’s scored a lot from close range/follow ups.

They’ve had some big names in that run too. Ranieri, Bilic, Mazzari, Hodgson etc., Be interested to see who they go for next.

Their next permanent manager will be their 14th since MR started his second run with us in March 2017.

The EFL think they’re on course to break their spending/financial rules too apparently. Whether they go up or not, they’ll be getting some sort of fine/points deduction unless they raise funds via player sales before the cut off date. They got fined by the EFL the last time they got promoted...

I remember the season Adam Armstrong was on fire (20 in 40 I think?), always thought he’d go on to do way more than he did, but he was absolutely special that first half of the season.

Upping all the prices on leftover seats for all the late comers wanting to see the mighty sky blues historic promotion push Gotta pay Hajis goals clauses somehow

I’m convinced there isn’t a rule book anymore, just a vague set of guidelines that officials follow or ignore as it suits.

PNE have a game in hand because of Southampton game getting postponed by a fire. Don’t mind if it makes their fixture list a little more congested. Edit: looks like it has to be a midweek rearrangement too so in all likelihood looks like mid-end of April.

So have we binned off this “don’t surround the ref” rule or what? Pisses me off when you see 4/5 players charge the ref screaming for a decision.

Fuck sake, I don’t ask for much, I just want to see Torp and Sheaf as our CMs for a run of games.

Thank fuck for that, Arsenal can’t slip up on a weekend where City and Pool can take points off each other

Fair enough, but I think you’d see the same mishaps if another CB came in and filled in for Saliba/Gabriel every so often. Takes a lot of time to build up the trust required to play this kind of football. Part of me thinks the whole 2 goalkeepers thing was just PR anyway to keep Ramsdale...

But playing out from the back comes from an understanding with your defence that needs to be maintained. Can’t just drop a keeper in once every 20 games and then ask them to keep the same fluidity the defence have with Raya, regardless of concentration. Should've either went all in with Raya...

Forgot about that haha

Fucking hell what is Rambo doing there. Had a defender to play out too as well. I’ve said it all along you pick a number 1 and stick with it. Hard to drop a keeper into the side and then expect them to just pick up as normal

The numbers comparison for me nicely illustrates that we’ve went from being a dangerous 2 man team, to just a dangerous team full stop. I don’t think anyone thinks Haji and Simms will go on to be £100 million strikers like Gyo, but that they don’t need to be with a balanced squad behind them.

My biggest worry this season was replacing Gyo/Gus’ goals/contributions. The fact only 5 teams (3 of whom were strong PL relegated teams) have out scored us after 37 games is a massive win for our recruitment.
