    The throw we scored from was flatter and faster, we should try more of them rather than the loopy ones you've mentioned

    We didn't score until the 44th minute v Boro, hardly an early goal. Against both Boro and West brom the possesion stats were much more easily matched. We've heavily dominated possesion in several games over the last couple of months and all we've got from it was a win against Portsmouth and a...

    I dont agree thats the essence of been a football supporter at all. Some people are naturally optimistic, some naturally pessimistic. The essence is following your team through thick and thin regardless of what you think the outcome will be in my opinion. I've only seen us win away once this...

    I remember both racist chants, one was definitely Newcastle, the other could have been Sunderland.

    I said it weeks ago but there's a blue print developing for how to play against us. It's mainly been deployed against us on our travels but Sunderland used it the other night and Portsmouth nearly earned a point with it until we went a bit more direct and Rudoni and Patterson conjured up a bit...

    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.
