As long as a win gets more points than the sum of both teams for a drawn match, when a game involves two other teams in the relegation battle, a draw is always the preferred result, unless it involves a side that is definetely going to be relegated (even if it hasn't quite officially happened)...

Au contraire, there is any amount of defence for players who are clearly not mid table championship level. You suggest they are not up to snuff and people leap in. Hyam, McFadz (going forward - age), Shipley, both keepers, Pask, Dacosta (maybe), Max, Baka all are just not good enbough. Thank...

After we have scored, I love reading the posts on here that immediately precede it..... best laugh of the week.

I assume Wilson will be preferred and that Pask comes in at right wing back. Otherwise I'd drop Max, play O'Hare further forward and bring in either James or Sheaf into a midfield three

Cliche alert: this really is a must win game. That is all

I ddn't know where to put this, but it is about apparel, so I stuck it here. The motif on the sweatshirt is the Ernie Hunt / Willie Carr donkey kick of 1970 It's been given as a birthday present from my daughter. Felt like a twelve your old when I got it.

me too

I think we'll lose 2-0. They were bounced by Huddersfield and should want to rebound from that; and we found a specific modus operandi suitable for undermining Brentford in particular. Not sure if it inevitably transfers to Swansea. They are a top side, at home. A draw would be brilliant, and...

He is not the long term solution though, but with a bit of luck, after his success here, he can have 4-5 seasons in the first team somewhere lower down rather than perennially being on the bench. He has taken his chance well. Good luck to him.

Then why was he not automatic first choice at Gillingham? Our good loans have commanded a place in the team.

I have just been listening to a couple of podcasts about this game and the rest of the Championship. Afew of points from them Kelly has played in 9 games for over 45 minutes. His record is 4 wins, 4 draws and one defeat - 16 points. Without him we are 22 games, 18 points. The tactics were...

I would query the judgement of anyone who places greater value on Max (sell value <£250k) than Walsh (sell value well over £1m). After all the latter made probably the biggest single contribition to promotion by one player.

Oh God not another Max thread. this so boring. It has been done to death countless times. Grendell, myself and others think he way above his pay grade. Others think he is Coventry's Messi. Next subject please.

Agreed

66-67, 67-68 and the year we had Terry Yorath

There were two big tactical changes, 1. long ball and high press (hoof ball?) 2. planned substitutions at the right times (out of the Eddie Jones rugby playbook actually)

...at the risk of repetition, combined with punting / heading it forward as often as possible, and Wilson's ability to kick it miles. Play in their half.

Biamou and not Walker?

Good though we were against Brentford, both goals came from bad defensive slips. So lets not get ahead of ourselves. A draw would be an absolute bonus / boner (take your pick, or maybe both). Same team and same substitutes strategy (incidentally I thought Pask pretty good as a substitute)
