I'd like to see this image on one of the many stickers you see dotted around the ground v WBA. 'fight and win'

Not necessarily because there have been games where they've both thrived. Different tools for different jobs and think Simms would be better suited in a 2 man strike partnership where games are expected to be tighter. There's a lot of tough away days upcoming where it makes sense to start him...

4-2-3-1 is needed imo, we are starting to miss Rudoni because and both BTA’s red hot form is cooling down. Frankly, I’d start Simms v WBA and he deserves a crack of the whip after a strong performance v Pompey and getting an assist yesterday. It’s a difficult ask because Haji and BTA teamed up...

22 points from 11 is a big ask, but it’s doable. Under Lampard, the CBS has been a fortress so 3-1-1 gets us 10 points, then there is 12 points from 24 available to make 22, something like 4-0-2. As you point out, it’s only 16 points to maintain the 2 point PPG so a 1-3-2 away form gives us 16...

Our fixtures from here until the Jan 4th is a gauntlet, particularly our away fixtures where we play teams that are very strong at home. WBA (H) - 15th in away form Boro (A) - 4th in home form (unbeaten) Charlton (H) - 13th in away form Ipswich (A) - 6th in home form PNE (A) - 3rd in home form...

To further your point, Simms got the flick on for EMC’s goal.

I’d argue that Lampard’s transition was eased by King’s forum. As the leader of the football club, he needed to set the record straight because there were people outwardly claiming Robins was undermined by the likes of Austin and Dr Roberts. The atmosphere at Sunderland away was down right...

Going into Jan, there should only be two types of signing that need to be considered: - loans that help us ‘win now’ e.g. Moore to Ipswich 23/24 - Players who will start for us if we get promoted e.g. Le Fe for Sunderland Signing ‘cover’ players is simply insufficient for our needs as a club...

No, that wouldn’t have sufficed imo. The sacking was unbelievably unpopular and therefore, needed to communication to justify his decision publicly. Not everyone felt the same, but generally people understood the decision. Ultimately, King’s strategies have been completely vindicated.

The consensus among Stoke fans was that we the better side and the best they’ve played this season. Particularly in the first half, second half Stoke edged it slightly. I’m used to thinking Robins calls games fairly and on this occasion felt he was clouded in his judgment. There probably is a...

Seconded. In games we generate low xG, Haji gets a lot of stick. It’s fair to say BTA and Sakamoto were largely anonymous too. EMC takes the plaudits for the goal but felt he was our brightest spark Whilst he didn’t have a good game, he was better than BTA who was largely anonymous. It was a...

He’s definitely badly concussed there, eyes are all over the place and looks drunk. Top goal, thought EMC played well too yesterday.

Not even because we’re in competition with Ipswich, I hope Blackburn get justice for their postponed game. At home, however, Blackburn have been awful, 1-1-5 is their form.

For sure, Ipswich have to do the hard work of beating us twice, their game in hand and match our results. Our home form in particular is going to be crucial in this next month or two because there’s a lot of difficult away fixtures; Boro, Ipswich and PNE are all in the top 6 for home form and...

More like 2points because they have a game in hand. December is a huge month for us because there’s a lot of difficult fixtures.

We play Ipswich twice in December so we’ll really find out who’s top dog by New Year.

Stoke fans I met today were v much complement art of both our full backs. We all mutually agreed we shut down their wingers.

Which probably is to be expected because we’ve scored a lot more as a whole. The ratio of our headed goals was ridiculous last season and was unlikely to be carried on this season. Fun fact: we’ve scored 2 more right footed goals this season than the entirety of last season. Which, in fairness...

We’re joint league leaders with Wrexham (6) as things stand. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/championship/torverteilungart/wettbewerb/GB2#google_vignette

I’m liking that we’re being tactically flexible, there’s no point us in us perfecting BTEC Pepball to go up and get beaten soundly by more technical and physical teams. Long may it continue!
