I thought the same. Taking legal action into the Courts and outside football's own jurisdiction would seem to set a dangerous precedent, and doing so would surely be frowned upon by the football authorities. I would have thought that any adverse outcome would then likely be higher as a result...

Well said Evo. I know you were iffy about bothering with the Oxford game earlier in the season, and I was quite exasperated with people continually calling every draw a crap one, when to me winning each round was more important than drawing one of the big fish in the early rounds. Unless...

While we may well lose some of the old regulars it's hard not to envisage the club's upwards trajectory not attracting other supporters into becoming season ticket holders. At the moment it is feasible that without a season ticket, it might be difficult securing an individual match ticket with...

Can't agree with the sentiments for season ticket holders getting refunds for non attendance. They already get tickets at a generously discounted rate compared to buying on a match by match basis, and have the luxury of knowing they are always guaranteed a ticket for any big cup or play off games.

I grew up in Rugby in the 80's and while there were a few Leicester fans about it was definitely a Cov town, with quite a few mainstays of the Legion living there and having a very visible presence about the town. Don't recall seeing any group of Leicester fans about the town at any time during...

Agree with this, particularly when considering Doku's 'tackle' against Liverpool last weekend where he similarly went in recklessly, but won the ball first. This time though it was subject to VAR review and not given. A definite lack of consistency!

You do know some games also end up in draws?

I imagine Hamer might want to leave at the end of the season, and while I could see a lower PL/ newly promoted PL club being interested, I can't see any of them paying the fee paid to us. Therefore unless Sheffield United are prepared to cut their losses he might be stuck with them.

I always thought they were originally only supposed to disallow goals where there was a clear and obvious error. If the VAR operators are still deliberating after 60 seconds a goal should stand as far as I'm concerned, even if it subsequently passes that someone might have had a toe offside.

On Leicester it would be hilarious if they blew this. Their owners might not be so keen to bankroll them if they stay in the Championship for a while :)

Is Ugbo ex Chelsea? If so he must be a nailed on signing surely?

Maybe not, but I'm sure if he does move this Summer it will be for a sum you would have previously thought unthinkable, particularly at the start of last season when there were plenty on here (can't recall if you were one of them) urging the club to sell for anywhere near £10m, as that was the...

I will be surprised and extremely disappointed if MR starts with a back 4 for this match.

While McNally was good for us last season by all accounts he has been pants at Stoke, where Rose is rated more highly. He would only have been a good signing if he had been the version we had last season, which was not a given. MR must have seen something that put him off pursuing him again.

While supporters were happy with the eventual outcome of our first season back in the Championship, it was definitely a troubled journey for some on the way there with enless bedwetting on here, led by Matt Smith's previous alias, bemoaning amongst other things the waste of a loan signing in...

One of our ongoing issues this season has been our propensity for conceding the first goal. If I remember right, Sky said last night we had done so in something like 23 or 24 league games, which is a crazy stat for a top half team. Our 2nd half goals scored have only been behind Leicester, so...

I was surprised MR stuck with 5 at the back into the 2nd half last night. Surely he won't play that system at home to Rotherham! I hope he does tinker again though and play our strongest defensive unit against them which I believe is Collins in goal with a back 4 of MVE, Thomas, Kitching and...

It's a shame we didn't play Dugdale instead then!

Waghorn had pedigree, but the evidence that he was on the wane was already out there in his last season at Derby, where his goal output dropped markedly. The one thing I would say though was that from what I understand he was always a good pro within the squad set up, so in that sense was...
