Looking at FotMob, apparently our xG was 1.27 which I believe has got to be a mistake. That’s less than the opening day v Hull. We were unbelievably efficient today and we scored from chances that were low xG but Haji x2, BTA and Rudoni’s first were all clear cut chances iirc.

In fairness to KKH, he’s not a winger. If there are games we need people from the bench to change the tide of the game, we’ll still struggle. Rapha looked decent but still v raw. Lampard has said we need a LW and a CB so presumably we’re working on making that happen.

Top 4. In keeping a level head after today. This season we’ll struggle where we need to change things from the bench imo. Can you rely on bringing KKH/Brau and Rapha on the wings when chasing games? Probably not.

Has anyone seen a more dominating performance live or on TV? I don’t think I have. Fair play to the team, at 7-0 we were still looking for goals. Credit to Lampard et al!

In fairness, these are only ‘poor club’ problems you’ll see at the bottom of the championship, L1 and L2… which we all got to experience! In the Prem, it’s a different ball game so hopefully we get to the Prem and establish ourselves sooner rather than later.

I knew this was public posturing but never thought we were seriously in a position to buy the stadium!

That’s not really what we’re discussing. Besides, if the average away following is 1500, that means a 28k attendance is 26.5k Cov fans, i.e. a v small proportion of supporters/day trippers who go to ad-hoc games. Again, we’re not actually selling that many tickets per game outside the ‘big...

Probably should've worded it as: "after our 24k STHs there isn't that many fans who would follow us regularly". The point being that the price wouldn't really impact total attendance by much either way.

It's not an in-demand game and because there's 24k STH, there also isn't that many Cov fans left who would regularly follow us. The pricing isn't that bad because £28-35 is average ticket prices for Championship league matches now. It could be £20 a ticket and you'll still get people moaning...

It’s v streamlined and easy to administer so it’s a good system. if we get to the prem and allocations around the 2-2.5k mark, they’d need to open it up with some sort of a ballot system otherwise it runs the risk of being a ‘closed shop’.

I only did 2-3 away games a season before 23/24, didn’t get a ST for 22/23 and my points are still 1400+. 23/24 and 24/25 there’s been a lot of travelling up and down the country and it really is those 20, 30 pointer games that really boost your points tally. This season we’ve got plenty of...

Has anyone watched SEC: Any Given Saturday? I watched the 1st episode yesterday and it was good! College football is massive in the USA and I'd say that the NFL is the gateway drug into the world of NCAA football. Coupled with EA bringing out the CFB video games and the Florida Gators Netflix...

The problem isn't even that widespread. In all the aways I've bought tickets for over the last 2 seasons, there's been 2 instances where I didn't go; Huddersfield away in 23/24 because traffic was horrendous and was going to miss the first half and Sheff U where, admittedly, I was points farming...

Which doesn't guarantee the collector goes into the ground and scans their ticket and we both know there are people who'll sell their tickets. I can see a logic where this works for home games but it's still a pointless exercise. For a few reasons: 1. For most away games, STHs will get tickets...

Are you aware of any club that tracks this? The obvious roadblock is that clubs may not want to share this info because it’s admin for them. Not all clubs have electronic turnstiles, iirc Sheffield Wednesday don’t. It’s just not worth the hassle or workload for the club for something that isn’t...

It’s not our turnstiles… home games there’s argument for this but what will inevitably happen is that an extra layer of admin will be created for instances where points haven’t been added etc. Our points system is about as good as it gets. Everything is a flat tariff and you get the points at...

It allows us to get to Jan and re-evaluate I reckon. If Sakamoto and EMC are expected to play 90m a game week in, week out... It's a matter of time before one or both of them breaks down and gets injured. Hopefully, Rapha and BTA can step up whenever they're asked to play out wide.

4 goals in 30 games is ok, it doesn't strike me as a signing that would take the team to the next level. That said, I felt the same about Rak-Sakyi and he was an important player for Sheff U last season. I'll keep an open mind and signing on a permanent means we reap the benefits of developing...

A legitimate concern. Our next 3 away games are Leicester, Millwall and Wednesday and that will set you back £80-100 for tickets alone whereas Millwall in the cup for 10 less points costs £12, it's an absolute bargain. That said, I'm less concerned about the super fans on 1700+ buying tickets...

In practice, this is what’s been happening and even where claims are denied, v few people are actually removed. What else is driving the increase? The Rwanda scheme was failing because the courts were grounding flights which demonstrates the need to repeal certain laws and pass primary...
