Why is it just the formation that’s getting the results? In my opinion, the personnel changes have been more significant than changing from 4-2-3-1 to 5-3-2. When we played 4-2-3-1 the starting XI was something like: Collins/Dovin MVE Lati Thomas Bidwell Sheaf Eccles Sakamoto Torp/Rudoni...

Portsmouth was a real kicker. Norwich was a definitely disappointing but taking a step back, it was one of those freak comebacks given the circumstances. It was otherwise a solid away performance and on another day we come away with a fantastic 3 points or a decent draw.

Easy money…

I’m happy for Sunderland to win this, 3 points of playoffs with 16 games left. This is well doable now!

I’m high on optimism and reckon we’ll finish 5th because I’m not afraid of anyone outside the top 3. Plenty of home games against teams around us and this is a great position to be in.

Players progress. There are plenty of example of players playing one position, then another, then another. Antonio at West Ham went from being a RM, RWB to striker. Or CR7 from RW to LW to ST. Good players find ways to impact the game from anywhere on the pitch and that’s why Haji did well...

Personally, I find them a bit cringy at times. That Friends dub over for Burnley’s signing of Edwards being particularly cringeworthy.

The top two form teams going at one another, believe it or not! I reckon we could snatch a win here but realistically a draw would be a fantastic result.

Guessing that spam account hasn’t even bothered to check the league table before making this nonsense tweet.

They sense they have a shot at promotion so you can’t blame them. However, it could end badly for them like it did for Hull. Then again, Hull’s transfers last Jan was their last throw of the dice.

It’s amazing that football fans can make a judgement on a player based on a timeframe little over than an episode of Game of Thrones. It’s like Haji Wright ‘can’t play upfront’ when him playing LW last season was the outlier for his career. Take your pick; EMC ‘can’t play’ RW, Rudoni ‘can’t...

Most of his games at RW were for Barnet which explains the lack of data on his assists. He’s developed into a much more rounded player at Peterborough where he was used mostly at LW. Looking at his attributes, I can’t see why he couldn’t make a fantastic RW for us. He’s right footed and like...

The narrative from the club is that he’s got talent which is promising. It’s Robins and Lampard’s teams that have both said it. If he gets more minutes and looks the part, perhaps he could fill that need too!

I’d rather sign a winger this window, it would keep the squad fresher if we can replace both wingers and the striker in games. Lati playing RB if required wouldn’t be a disaster and think that would make do until the end of the season. It is a position of need for the summer though. As you...

This is also nonsense, Eccles is a good championship CM who gives a 7/10 performance most games. As for Sheaf, still consistently one of the best defensive CMs in the league and he’s been injured all season (injections to get through games). As a pair, they’re both solid defensively but they’re...

This is a bit of a strawman argument because we had Vik and Hamer. Players like Eccles, Allen and others were a good supporting cast but by no means real game changers. Last season, we lost every game bar 5-6 games against the top 12.

100% - I’d go as far and call that a top 4 team if our defensive form continues. I don’t think Thomas or Kitch are bad individual defenders. I’d fancy that team over Blackburn and Sunderland, comfortably. Even teams like Middlesbrough, Norwich and maybe even a Mowbray-led WBA. Carlos Corberan...

He’s a good player, in Football Manager terms, he’s a solid 2.5 or 3 star player.

It’s a red line for me booking holidays around the playoff final. I can cope with missing a semi-final leg but not the final.

It’s a solid midfield, for definite. It does feel a bit short though. Whether or not we’re playing 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 you’d expect 2 players per position. Maybe we bring in a 10 who can play wing or vice versa could work?
