Cardiff v Burnley an interesting watch. Cardiff definitely had joy with crosses into the box and their aerial threat, which is one of our strengths.

Quite reassuring, as in his case the opposite usually happens.

It’s going to deflect in off Hamer after being given away by O’Hare in midfield 🤣

Can we register Lampard and sub him on for penalties 🤣

A fresh squad with a promotion just behind them and confidence high. They will still be a challenge, but as long as we give nothing away I can’t see us failing to score a couple.

That day at Wembley is up there with my top 2 games. Unbelievable and most exhilarating Sunderland to drop off completely? They’d have to be as bad as we were the 12 games at the end of last season. Having said that, City will do it if we continue our form over the last 8 games and they...

Aside from one year of actually making the play offs we don’t have any experience of just falling short. It’s either a long way off or abysmal failure.

Surely the EFL process is there to determine the suitability of the new owner and transfer golden share ownership? This was confirmed at the time https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/64170090.amp

He needs to be firing on all cylinders by the end of the season for that to happen.

Agree. however we are very unlikely to generate a Gyokeres level fee again in the near future.

It’s possible. I’m not an accounting expert and have used straight maths to come up with that number. I guess we paid some significant fees in that period, so perhaps my conclusion is incorrect.

It demonstrates that club is only viable when profits from player sales are included. Without them there is a £15/16m operating loss.

Those type of results will happen out of nowhere, but the best they can hope for is probably a draw.

Not necessarily. We could finish 5th and an in form 6th place team like Norwich, Boro or West Brom could beat them over 2 legs.

An extra game for Stoke tonight and a chance for Boro to make up some ground. Pity this this game isn’t next week to increase fatigue before playing us.

More an anecdotal feel than looking back at history. Recently we’ve struggled against them.

Yes and we have an opportunity to break that before the end of the season.

I guess you could argue that each of those clubs has had their own strong spell during the season where they've exceeded our points total by some distance. The key question is will our strong run continue and can at least one of those clubs put another run together? Of any I'd pick Norwich...

Apparently we’re 1 point up on 2 seasons ago and finished with 5 wins and 6 draws.

This result has no bearing whatsoever on the play offs. Neither will be anywhere near it.
