    Tonight’s games

    The late goal against Forest still irritates me - even now. One other thing to consider is the state of fitness of some of the substitutes, as it's already been stated that we've had players on the bench that are not anywhere near fit enough to start a match. Therefore, MR has to be very...

    Cringey football terms deserving of a temporary ban

    “We battered them” - assuming we didn’t commit GBH or dunked them in a deep fat fryer to have them with our chips. Always sounds ridiculous to me

    iFollow attendance

    I started just using iFollow for the home games as I’m a ST & membership holder, but got hooked and now paying for the away games. A major reason being to see how many different teams Clive thinks we are playing each week😂.

    Match Thread Forest (H) Tuesday, 7 pm KO

    Not for me. Go with an unchanged starting 11. If things go awry change early in second half.

    The scale of the “opportunity cost” for the club renting a stadium is greater at St A than Ricoh, but that assumes the contracts terms are identical. Due to assumptions that we would have increased attendances. It’s obvious that until we own a stadium, we can’t maximise revenue streams. The...

    Agree and in any independence settlement the economic shock to Scotland would be very significant and would lead to a mixture of increases in government borrowing [at a larger cost], taxes or cuts in services. It could get messy

    Josh Reid set to sign

    TS - thanks for your input. I can quite understand the feelings of many in Scotland towards independence, given their antipathy to the Conservative government and Boris Johnson being seen as a "gift" to boosting the independence vote. As for the use of the oil and gas revenues to plug holes...

    Match Thread Birmingham City away

    I’m wondering if the game will be on. The amount of rain that’s fallen overnight makes me think the pitch could be very heavy, which won’t suit our passing game.

    Hamer at RWB option

    Not for me - we need his creativity in centra midfield

    Points to survive

    The impact of Covid restrictions on clubs is going to suppress wages in the EFL for numerous clubs. Additionally, some players out of contract this summer previously on large salaries will need to be careful with their wage expectations, as they might find themselves unemployed. If having...

    Given the current issues with border controls.....imagine the chaos of a land border between England & Scotland with Scotland adopting the Euro, etc.

    Match Thread Sheffield Wednesday

    He’s got a knee issue that he’s managing. Albeit he’s not 100%, but he’s prepared to play . I imagine he will be using painkillers

    New sponsor needed for next season?

    That would be an odd move from a Conservative government, given they shout about “Nannie state” at legislative measure that impacts on a market economy

    I thought Walsh was out of contract at the end of the season and given he hasn’t played yet, why would we pay out for a player who’s on a free in July. Does anyone know how far away he is from being fit to play?

    Hilßner debut?

    The extra weight might be due to the treatment for his breathing issue. If they’ve used steroids that might account for it. Hopefully. He will shift it

    Derby unable to pay players wages

    Our audited accounts will be very interesting and I think they could make difficult reading and a reality check for some supporters. Having said that the impact of behind closed doors games this season for next year’s accounts for all teams could be horrendous for some clubs. Ironically, whilst...
