    Selling Middlesbrough ticket

    Did he go for 'Viktor' or 'Gustavo' in the end?

    The penalty

    As long as Bidwell doesn’t take a weird run up and shoot with the outside of his foot, like all his shots yesterday 🙂

    The penalty

    Not sure I believe Robins on this one. I think he’s purposefully playing it down. Has Vik ever taken a penalty when Godden is on the pitch before?

    Norton-Cuffy is having his best game by an absolute mile today.

    Would definitely be thinking about Allen for Kelly at half time, not the Kelly has played badly but just to structure the midfield in a way that we have an additional progressive pass when we get the ball deeper. Can't string 3 passes together currently without having to go long or rely on a...

    Eccles, Kelly and Hamer playing a very flat 3 currently. Birmingham getting a lot of bodies forward and the half spaces are enormous for them to play into.

    Got to defend better than that. We let Birmingham get to the edge of our box in 3 unchallenged passes there. Fadz has won everything but we're quite deep and it's asking a lot of Liam Kelly to keep up with Bellingham, half his age, when the space in midfield is so stretched,

    Playing well in moments but we're really struggling to get the ball into midfield when they press our defence. Ending up playing a lot of long ball as a result.

    At least Deeney is not in the squad, couldn't stomach him playing or scoring on top of the nerves.

    Blackpool v Millwall

    Blackpool are effectively relegated if they lose, you'd think they will be fighting for their lives.

    I’m starting to believe

    I see it as a free hit. Didn’t expect to be here in the summer, didn’t expect to be here when O’Hare got injured, didn’t expect to be here when the pitch bullshit happened, didn’t expect to be here when we were bottom after 10 games, didn’t expect to be here when we signed Maguire in January...

    CBS Stand naming

    I’d have one novelty stand that changes its name every week. Could be the Yakubu stand one week, where no-one can move for the whole game. Then the week after the Leon Clarke stand where you force a move every 5 minutes. Orange Ken stand where you sit where you have no right to be. There’s loads...

    Would robins Be our greatest ever manager if we were promoted

    The only way I could see him influencing English football now is if he got us promoted to the PL and other chairman looked at how long he's been in charge for and started giving managers longer than 6-18 months to build something. Don't think that's ever going to happen though with the money at...

    Liam Kelly -humble pie time

    Yeah, and I know it's romantic, nostalgic nonsense but with the nature of the modern game, these stories are increasingly rare.

    Liam Kelly -humble pie time

    Jokes aside, I think we'll end up giving him another year with a coaching role if a) he stays fit between now and the end of the season, b) we stay in this division and c) He's ok with not playing every week. I would absolutely love to have him make an appearance in the PL though so we can say...

    5 Wins and we are in the Prem

    I do think it would be extraordinary yeah. Millwall have lost to Huddersfield, Hull, Birmingham and Wigan in their last 7 games. Blackburn have to play 2 of the top 3 in Burnley and Luton, plus Millwall. Albion will finish 5th I think, with us in 6th
