    Championship 22-23

    Sky commentator said it about 20 mins ago. I’ve no idea if it’s right.

    Got a bite! Conor Coventry on bench so might face Middlesbrough on the pitch…. (….tumbleweed…)

    Yep. Him. Robins hinted he was nearly ready in his pre match presser - he’s “pain free” he said. Usually a 4 week injury - apparently. Maybe he will be ready. Let’s hope.

    They know about Gyok - they just have scouted him enough to put a bid in. Maybe we need Sheaf in for Godden for the height against their long ball and pack the midfield. (Note to self - stop overthinking everything)

    That’s true. Yes. Strong team today and rest against us.

    Championship 22-23

    Middlesbrough are up the top in terms of stats for being long ball merchants. Didn’t know that. I think that suits our back 3.

    Championship 22-23

    If we were playing, say, Watford and it was a dead rubber, would we risk Gyok and Gus not getting a red or an injury?

    C’mon Keith Stroud. Keep them cards coming for Middlesbrough.

    Championship 22-23

    Middlesbrough could be facing Coventry on the pitch 4 times in a row.

    Championship 22-23

    So today we want Rotherham to beat Middlesbrough. We need them to tire them out, get a few Boro sent off and Rotherham to win so that Boro can’t get 3rd and have nothing to play for next week. And Luton to draw with Blackburn to get them (BB) so they can’t realistically overhaul us but have a...

    The last para is interesting based on what another (can’t recall who, but it wasn’t one of the nutters so maybe credible) poster mentioned about talks between Frasers and DK. CCFC becomes about 10 times more valuable if we go up and may need backing to stay there. This season has been one of...

    Who would you want in a play off final ?

    If Luton play Millwall in the semis it might be a bit interesting. Don’t know if they still have rivalry but Millwall rioting back in the 80’s meant Luton banned away fans for years. Luton has one of their best spells back then, won a cup, mid table top division. Plastic pitch and no away...

    Who would you want in a play off final ?

    Luton. Tin pot plastic cockneys. Might not sell their allocation and we can take over their spares.

    I think it depends on which satellite town big city residents go to. Big influx of students and Poles etc. into the City and people working less in city centre factories means that a lot of ex Cov folk move to Bedworth / Rugby / Leam. I guess Leicester folk have moved to Hinckley. (Going off...

    CBS - 5 Year Deal Agreed

    I’ll try to answer that: The Fraser Group founded by Ashley is no benevolent society and has a history of being hard nosed. Maybe (just maybe) King would be better to have a blueprint back up plan up his sleeve than being in a position of potentially being squeezed later. Out of all of SISU’s...

    Map of City v Utd supporter majority. I think. I wonder if anyone’s ever bothered to do a Cov / Leicester / Brum / Villa map.

    Championship 22-23

    Is there a Middlesbrough / Sunderland rivalry? Would they want to avoid each other first leg? Do they compete for fans (Google maps time) in Bishop Auckland / Durham? (Probably overthinking there) Would Middlesbrough want to go easy on us if it meant Sunderland slipped out of frame? Need to...

    Championship 22-23

    Thinking about it, if they did play their full team and we hammer them, wouldn’t that be more damaging than playing a weakened team and losing? Who knows. Anyway

    Championship 22-23

    Middlesbrough (stating to obvious) want to win the playoffs. They’ll want to go in with no injuries to key players and no suspensions. If that means resting a few and telling the players not to go into daft 50/50s then one would think that’d be how they approach playing us. If that gives us...
