What permutation are you betting on for 7th? Boro win? Looking at both Bristol’s and ourselves own home form, it’s unlikely we both drop out. The bookies and data analytics still strongly favour things to stay as they are. The Opta super computer reckons both games will be draws whilst...

Overall, this is good news! Either way, it’s time to move on and think of about signing a competent GK in case Dovin doesn’t come back early or gets injured again. Irrespective of what league we’re in next season, we need to phase out Collins and Wilson. If they trust Luke Bell, perhaps it’s...

100% lost control of his body. It looks like he bumped into player in front of him before his leg swings up. It’s on an unstable surface and they’re going at impressive speeds with blades for shoes. Try rugby tackling someone running at you at full speed and then imagine that same scenario on...

5th.

The sport involves you checking people going at quick speeds and throwing your body at people. There be situations where you lose control of your body. People who have never played a contact sport like rugby, American football, ice hockey or martial arts may not understand what that’s like...

Two questions: 1) Do you think the man should be sent to prison for a freak accident? 2) Why do you think the CPS decided against pressing charges? It is an inherent risk of the game that you can get lacerated with the ice skates that is a fundamental requirement to play the game.

You’d have to consider what the intent for starters. In the scenario you describe, it’s difficult to imagine how you’d ’inadvertently’ slice someone’s throat open. I’ve partaken in contact sports like rugby and judo so know a thing or two about the forces involved in these types of sport… I...

It’s a contact sport and this an inherent risk unfortunately. They can wear neck guards but don’t tend to.

Haji Wright would fetch the highest fee so I’d be tempted to cash in if a ridiculous offer came in. Rudoni is 100% a keeper under all circumstances and MVE is an important player for us but not irreplaceable. Hopefully, we keep all 3 players.

It goes without saying that we need to control our own destiny by winning… However, Bristol’s heavy defeat gives an extra insurance policy in the event we draw and Bristol lose. Even if one of Blackburn or Millwall win, they will leapfrog us but we jump above Bristol. That depends on favours...

He’s technically v good too, some precise crosses, shots and so on. It’s fair to say that it’s not delivered on a consistent basis and given we’ve targeted wingers in Jan, it’s likely we’ll strengthen that area even if we extend Paterson’s deal. Statistically, I remember seeing one of those...

The squad has impressive depth in areas, it’s just unbalanced in wide areas.

Does head to head record ever come into consideration?

It’s you who’s missing the point because our home record has carried by home form. It’s fair to say that under Lampard, we’ve not cracked the code of how to beat the bottom half teams who play a low block when we’re away from home. It’s consistent v Cardiff (home and away), Hull* (home and...

We’ve put 5 goals past Sunderland this season… on head-to-head, recent form, and since Lampard came in, we’ve been a better team than them.

Based on recent form? 😂

It always was… we’re just as close to Bristol than the likes of Blackburn and Boro are to us.

Look at their form and who’ve beat… at this stage of the season, past form goes out of the window and a quick at the form table shows that. Pompey beat Leeds and Plymouth beating Sheff U, odds things happen at the bottom of the table. What actually matters from now is that we’ve got a...

I’d back EMC to have a big season next year. Rudoni too, as good as he’s been, could easily have another 4 or 5 more goals this season! Sakamoto strikes me as player who’d make the maximum impact as a role player off the bench and that isn’t an insult. Looking at the way teams nullify us with a...

This is top tier copium for Sunderland fans to latch onto! They’re bottom of the form table, whichever spin you put on it, it’s terrible form. They’ve also lost to 3 of their potential opponents, where they’ll have the first leg away. In fact, they’ve failed to beat Bristol, Blackburn and...
