But we've come out of what we all acknowledged to be the toughest run of the season now. I think most people expected we'd drop into the bottom 3 during that run, instead we're 6pts clear as it stands & the other teams now have the tougher run ins. A lot of people seem to think we need to be a...

Biamou barely featured in League One? Played 90mins twice all season & half the time didn't even make the squad. Baka was more heavily involved.

You've intentionally picked 9 games of course as it portrays us in the worst light & includes what we all acknowledge to have been the toughest run of fixtures all season. If you'd done 10 or 12 the picture is completely different. Those last 8 games you refer to: Middlesbrough, Blackburn...

Eh? We have 12pts from our last 12 games?

Fair enough, but they have tailed off hugely since plus the further out you go you're then including Birmingham & Huddersfield who, but for one crazy result against Swansea, would already be below us. Whilst our form is by no means good, others are worse & they're already below us with tough...

I get everyone's frustrated by defeats, especially the manner of them, but to suggest it's down to a lack of effort is ridiculous. It's a lack of quality, simple as. Is our side now better on paper than Birmingham or Sheffield Wednesday? Of course not & you could make an argument that after yo...

Nah, Biamou is clearly better than Dublin. Dublin never won us promotion 😕

This is exactly what happened in January, where everyone seems to think the teams below us are all reincarnations of Pep's Barcelona & we need to go on some crazy run of form to stay up. We don't. By whatever measure of form you want to look at (3 games, 6 games, 10 games) Sheffield Wednesday...

Technically true but misleading as it is removing all context. Back 4: Pl 6 W 2 - Cardiff (H), Sheff Wed (H) D 3 - Derby (A), Birmingham (H & A) L 1 - Forest (H) 9pts -1.5ppg Back 3: 26pts from 28 games - 0.93ppg So we've only ever played a back 4 on 6 occasions, all of them against teams...

Got to still include Derby in there too, beat them on Saturday & we'll be level on points.

I'd probably go with: Maroši Dabo Rose McFadz Østigård McCallum Hamer James O'Hare Walker Gyökeres

This is the same fan base who used to berate Stern John remember, one of the best strikers we've had outside of the Premier League. Seems we'd rather have a trier who runs around near the halfway line than anyone actually in the box to score goals.

Correct. We often start well & you can usually see the intent straight from the off - wing-backs nice & high, forward 2 linking up, O'Hare causing problems. Then the other team start to impose themselves & sometimes their superior quality wins through. It's not just us, at every level of the...

Well, none of us know the ins & outs for sure of course, but that's the belief. Why would you sign a player to help you avoid relegation but then not be able to play him in case you get relegated? It would be completely illogical. The world nowadays just loves a conspiracy theory.

A) We're not obligated to sign him if we get relegated B) Why would he even be on the bench if he wasn't an option? You're basing this on the fact he's not played for 2 games despite featuring regularly before. It makes no sense.

They only had 2 - the 2 goals. Neither keeper even made a save. It was a game devoid of any real quality.

So who do you sign on a free for the same wage as Baka that is capable at this level?

You're not getting it are you? In an ideal world we would replace the likes of Baka, we know for a fact we were happy to let Biamou leave etc but can't simply do it in one window, we don't have the budget to do it.

No they've yo yo'd between divisions, increasing their budget as a result & with a business model to find undervalued players they have slowly overhauled the squad with players capable of playing at the higher level. They only stayed up on a technicality last season & now their patience with the...
