In my estimation, definitely not. The reason 5-3-2 worked so well is because Torp and Rudoni operated high up the pitch almost as if they were wide players (at times). There’s a reasonably compelling case for 4-4-2. Rudoni has most of his assists from the RW and keeping Simms and Wright up top...

I’m pretty confident we’ll end up playing 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 with a front three of EMC-Simms-Wright with the current crop of players. The Sunderland game looks more and more like a the exception rather than the rule. It is harsh on Sakamoto, but he’s also been a little bit cold after a good run...

Cardiff at home where we scored in the 88th minute. This was probably the biggest. As good as the other last minute winners were, they’ve steadily increased in importance as we’ve marched up the table. Last night, this fixture was our ‘easiest’ home game and one we needed to take maximum...

That’s a harsh way of looking at it. When you’re playing teams towards the bottom, they’re going to stick 10 men behind the ball and try to stop you playing. We created a few moments where we probably needed to be braver with our passing/shooting. We had two open headers in the box and failed...

I genuinely think we’ll extend his contract next season if we don’t go up. He’s a solid role player to have in the squad.

He does need to add more goals to his game to go up a level, missed some good chances this season. Signing of the season for me and an upgrade on COH. The data has shown this clearly all season.

He’s a good championship player and failing to break into an MLS team is hardly a shame. Buzzing he got his big moment playing for us! As people said, this has that same feel as the draw v Blackburn away in 22/23! We’ve had some last minute winners but this one is potentially the most...

Judging anything on 70m of game time is not a good idea. I’m sure the management will figure out a formula to get the best out of them together. Allen covers more distance but Sheaf is a better defender so it’s almost a 6 and two 3s situation imo. Sheaf needs to get that sharpness back which...

We looked quite good in that 4-4-2, that moment of link up play between Simms, Wright and EMC was our most promising moment besides the goal. So much sweeter we score a winner deep in stoppage time after all their time wasting.

In fairness, that FK from Hamer put us on the back foot. Can’t do nothing about that but Sheff U are not a team you can concede the first goal against, nor Burnley!

Why not? Getting a win tomorrow v Pompey puts us back in the top 6 with games v Hull, WBA, Plymouth, Luton and Boro. There’s an easily 4 wins in this block of games. Bristol City have won 4 games away all season and have to play Leeds away. I don’t think they’ll go the distance. Same with Boro...

Their form has nosedived at the wrong time and they have Watford at home before playing us away so it’s not getting any easier for them. We need QPR to beat Bristol City this weekend but I’m confident their away form will keep them out the Top 6.

If Bristol beat both WBA and Sunderland at home as well as Luton, QPR and Leeds away, fair play to them. WBA have not won in 4 games so we could be playing them at a great time. If we beat WBA, I’ll be surprised if we don’t go the finish in the Top 6. We played reasonably well over the last 3...

Yes and do you think their portfolios will be particularly exposed to the S&P? It’s not likely unless their fund managers are idiots because the risk factor (distribution of your portfolio) reduces (i.e. from stocks to bonds) the closer you are to retirement. Whilst all this is true, it...

Haha it’s not a nod of support, just an observation. There were plenty of MAGA supporters excited by Trump’s flirtation with abolishing income tax and replacing it with tariffs… they voted for it in every swing state and particularly the rust belt where they feel their jobs have been stolen by...

Which will impact a small % of workers approaching retirement. If that 401k is actively managed, would have decreased its exposure to stocks to a portfolio with more bonds. The stock markets value has had ridiculous price-to-earnings value for a few years which has lead many people to suggest...

Spoken like a true champion of the free market! A lot of Trump’s supporters do not have exposure in the S&P 500 so probably don’t care the stock market has tanked. He’s done exactly what he said he would on the election trail so people knew what they were voting for.

That’s what day traders do… long term investors ride out the bumps because if you’ve invested in the S&P 500 for 20 years, you’d have never lost money. Emotionally dumping your stocks is not a good idea when the highs and lows kick in.

Probably as a 3rd choice keeper because I can’t see us keeping both Wilson and Collins past this summer. We shouldn’t assume Dovin will come back and carry on his good form. Reminds me of the days when we were perpetually waiting for Jodi Jones to recover from his injuries when assessing our...

You need to go one step further and sign someone. Collins/Wilson as a long term number 2 just isn’t the best option. We also have to consider the possibility that Dovin may not come back the same. Quite a low risk you’d think but another promising GK vying for the number 1 shirt is a good thing...
