If Grimes goes into midfield you're asking for Kitching/Thomas to play passes through the press into midfield... with little cover if they get it wrong. I would also like Grimes receiving it more in midfield and turning on the ball, but its just not feasible unless you have CB's that are very...

Marcus Edwards against JDS/Bidwell is the stuff of nightmares. Going to take a very good performance to get anything here.

A loan for a promising/surplus keeper will hopefully be rarely inexpensive - Chelsea have about 10 tell Frank to give them a ring

Add GK to the summer shopping list then

They definitely had us at arms length though. Have the ball but there was little to no space when we approached the final third. They’re the best counter-attacking side in the league - far too much quality and pace in transition. Think Lampard got it tactically wrong continuing his philosophy...

Hoping it’s an injury he’s carrying rather than that his legs are gone. Surprised Lampard hasn’t shifted the 4-4-2 defensive shape for a midfielder to cover LM rather than EMC - as it’s not working away from home

Collins was our keeper for the 3-month period last season when we were the 4th best team in the league where he looked assured. It is clear that he is a massive confidence player and if it goes we’re going to struggle. Fans digging him out, groaning, and shouting abuse is only going to make...

We need to look at our tactics against the top 3. We allow then to be the best version of themselves Our high line has really played into the hands of both Leeds & Sheff U who both could’ve scored 5. We don’t have the personnel to execute it defensively against top sides

We won’t have a harder game for the rest of the season - still confident of a top 6 finish. Shows how unlikely it is for us to go up in the playoffs though. Top 3 are another level

Dovin planted his foot but it definitely looks like Campbells contact is what causes the injury. You can typically walk off when you do your ACL so fingers crossed it’s not that. Genuinely decreases our chances of finishing in the playoffs by about 10% if he’s out all season

Nothing associated with the telegraph website is easy to use with those adverts

Let’s not be silly now

Luton - because of a particular fan trying to goad me at 6am in a bar after the final. Hope they go down again. Sheff W - racists. Wrexham - the american love-in is nauseating. Birmingham - see Wrexham. Forest - fans have always been full of themselves due to their history, now looking like...

Ipswich had 3 players in their starting 11 that played their last game of last season (and one was Hutchinson who they had to sign permanently) Think we’d do something similar if we went up this season. The step up is huge and we have very few players who could do it

The kind of performance that makes you realise we can get promoted this season if we’re able to replicate it consistently

Eustuce is very good at this level. Look at Birmingham and Blackburn after he left. We got unlucky that we played them now he’s got them going - a few weeks ago they were abject and losing to everyone

Torp looked so good in the advanced role, made such a difference compared to having Eccles there (not trying to slate him it’s not his natural position)

If we lose all 3 we may as well not finish in the play offs as we’ll show we’re not ready to win them. As it happens I’m confident we can get 4 points from these games.

The accounts showed we’re reliant on player sales. Next accounts won’t have the Gyok/Hamer money to prop us up. If we sell Sheaf & MvE for around £15m and Gyok also moves we’re laughing. Doesn’t have to be to the detriment to the squad either. If we sign 5 players (RB, CB, LB, CM, RW) we’re...

Verging on manipulating statistics to suit - but I think most agree Leeds was an anomaly and the rest of the teams we've played are outside the top 6. So if you take that game out it is: P6 W5 D0 L0 GF10 GA3 - 1.66 goals scored per game - 0.5 goals conceded per game Conceding 1.25 goals more...
