Been whiling the time worrying about penalties so have been looking up some career record stats. Godden is our top man scoring 18 from 19 and also scoring for us in penalty shoot outs. Gyokeres has scored 6 from 9. Walker 8 from 11. Kelly 7 from 8 although has missed a shoot out penalty for us...

Presuming Eccles & Hamer are fit I would bring in Allen & Sheaf for Godden & Kelly, although it wouldn't be too surprising to see Eccles dropping out instead of Kelly. We have to change things a little and give Middlesbrough a different challenge than they have faced in the last 2 games. While...

I presumed it was connected to season ticket holders having 2 tickets, but then booking seats other than their own so as to be sat together, then leaving some kind of surplus come the end of the day, but then why would the spare tickets be in the North Stand? I guess it could also have been...

Playing devils advocate, but couldn't a season ticket holder also act as a pseudo tout with their preferred access to extra tickets?

There goalie reminds me of an up market Reice Charles-Cook, fancying himself as an outfield player and overdoing it at times. Am expecting our games with Boro to be close so could really do with our forwards being switched onto nick the ball off him for a soft goal.

.... but you are never right. I'll take 3-1 though!!

Which goalkeeper had worse stats than Moore?

I have absolutely no idea about who he should go for in midfield. I'm guessing he'll start from an 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' standpoint and stick with the same starting XI. Nice to have options though.

I would expect Southampton to be challenging for automatics. A lot of their younger players will be more comfortable at that level, while they can also call back Smallbone from Stoke who would probably walk into any other Championship side. The other teams you mention might take a while to get...

Surely if 5 teams come in and all offer £17m why not reject them all? Common sense tells you at least one will want an edge over its competitors and offer a higher price. However, even if only one club comes in initially (which I think is unlikely) we should not accept the first offer that comes...

If you are watching via i follow switch off any score alerts you might have set up as there is a time lag in the pictures, I would stay off the match thread on here too. Unless of course you like knowing in advance when a goal is about to be scored!

In the absence of an obvious thread suggesting new signings in the Summer I see Norwich are releasing Dowell. He certainly played his part in tearing us apart at the CBS earlier in the season. Only 25 too! Sam Byram also released. Also reported that Cardiff Manager says they have no chance of...

Not selling Gyokeres in January was far more important than bringing in new players. That said we did bring in 3 new loan players, one of whom has been absolutely instrumental in helping us reach the play offs.

I'm not sure Gyokeres owes us anything. He could easily have angled for a move in the January window, and without him we would be nowhere near the play offs. It has been a pleasure watching him scare the life out of Championship defenders, and hopefully he gets to do the same in the PL with us...

Hamer is a much better player than Scott right now. The reason Scott is likely to command a higher fee is a combination of being English, being younger and having more potential to improve. Hamer could well be already at his peak!

A very good servant to us, and a decent player too. Luckily we haven't missed him too much, particularly since McNally's arrival, but he would definitely have helped in the spell when McFadzean was injured and we leaked a lot of soft goals.

I would happily take anyone right now if it meant we got to the final, but given a choice I'd rather avoid Sunderland as I would find the over blown hype a bit too much to bear. Not sure Millwall would be too much fun either!

I spent my school years in Rugby and left in 1983 when I was 18. The coaches ran from about 1981 to 1983 and was my introduction to away games. There were about 250 members of the supporters club in Rugby at that time, and I remember they had quite a lot of events where City players and staff...

A shame Sunderland got that late goal, as it would have allowed us scope to rest Gyokeres and Hamer. As it is we can't take that chance, even though it might well turn out we have enough points already.

Love the bit at the start where the young lad is so in awe of Gyokeres :)
