Size isn’t everything

Imagine Andrew Driver supplying the crosses for these guys, with Nacho Novo putting them away

Given that all the players stand on the centre line I’ve never understood why penalties need to be taken at the same end. Teams could get the choice to shoot into either goal in front of their own fans. It wouldn’t take anymore time and wouldn’t disadvantage the side that lost the toss. All of...

Wtaf is going on with Josh Reid?

The third kit was worn much more than the second kit last year. We’ve had a purple kit twice now in 1995-6 and 2022-3 and failed to win a single game while wearing either. The sales of the five different kits last season (including two keeper’s jerseys) will ensure that we keep producing many...

McNally and or Twine as makeweights in a Gyökeres deal otherwise I doubt there’s anything in either of these for us.

Did anyone else pick up in that pre-Wembley interview with Robins that he had the chance to return a few months before he did in our relegation year? I assumed that JS approached him prior to appointing Slade.

That’s the way most of the teams we’ve played have tried to cope with Gyökeres since Christmas. The plan is usually to switch the man responsible for tracking him after the first one gets booked. Some teams (Preston spring to mind immediately) did this very effectively. Most couldn’t prevent him...

In fact given our history of performances in the second leg of games having drawn the first at home, I really fancy us to win at Love Street.

“Game”. We are still waiting for the second-leg.

Think we all want this year’s home kit to be worn. However, we’ve only ever won in stripes and worn a special Wembley kit in 1987 (fa cup logo and new sponsor), and league 2 play offs.

And they made me a cake!!!

Fair play to the fixer for this trip. He’s persuaded the hotel to project the game live into the breakfast bar for me.

He will be playing the Prem next season regardless of what happens to us

I shall be trying to persuade a pub in Slovenia to show the play off semi final on their TV rather than the Man City, Real Madrid match that’s on at the same time.

Middlesbro fans. Decent bunch Toby fair. If we can’t progress to the final I hope they win.

You can guarantee that even though one of them has a brother in the first team squad?

Everyone else has the chance to play in the same stadia. Across 23 away games the mean average is a fair contest. If you’re looking for correlation why not focus on the fact that the top 5 ended up in the top 6 of the league table at the end of the season.

Weren’t we supposed to be signing Louis Sibley to replace COH last summer?

There’s a group of 20-odd of us across three rows in block 29 (I - and three others - moved from block 18 last year to sit w some of the people we drive down from Manc with). The block is not available to renew as STs. The larger group contains kids, grandparents, friends and friends of...
