In terms of Walker's chance at the end I just don't think he realised he had the space he did, and given that he knew time was short I don't really blame him for trying to get a shot off quickly. Whats for sure is if he had taken a moment and looked up to play one of our other players in, but...

I reckon the penalty would have had a good chance of being given in the PL under VAR. Swings & roundabouts I guess though as in the same circumstances we wouldn't have got Godden's penalty against Fulham. As for the red card I can see both sides of the argument, but on a wider note for...

Did you not read the message immediately before yours?

Don't think it was ever the main focus of our attacking intent though, just an added bonus. That said we didn't make as much use of it as we should have done when we had Gunnarsson, and I can only remember on one occasion us scoring from them at that time. He had as good a throw as anyone but...

It will be loans, given we are nowhere near using up our quota and that will be the right way to go too. The January window is a notoriously bad time for making permanent signings, and as pointed out we want to avoid being saddled with high earners on a long term basis.

The long throw has its place, used sparingly, and when we had McCallum we obviously used it at times, but constantly employing it wouldn't suit us as we like to keep the game moving. Birmingham however want a stop start ugly type of game. Their main attacking ploy seemed to be to play into the...

Agree with nearly everything you say, but it should be pointed out there were flashpoints at the cup games, the first one particularly, where Blues fans were trying to pick off our fans making their way back to New Street. Of course they were in the minority and we do well to remember that Blues...

Everything points to us winning, but the derby element to the game traditionally evens things up a little. I'm expecting a real battle with them trying to outmuscle us and catch us on set pieces. They like a long throw, which was their main attacking threat when we played the cup replay a couple...

With your betting history I would feel more confident if you hadn't backed us!

3 While we remain in contention for promotion I wouldn't sell any 1st team regular unless offered a bonkers sum. 3m is not a bonkers sum!

It is outside the football ground so the cost would come from the Policing budget. It is the Police responsibility to keep law & order and manage crowds, and as such they are provided public funds to do exactly that. Hiring a few coaches to help prevent public disorder while keeping ordinary...

He was also an outstanding centre half though. Think the first time I saw him play there was at Wimbledon when we won 2-0 in a relegation crunch game. Without Moldovan we might not even have made it that far given his winner at Villa Park, and despite his earlier miss at Bramall Lane he would...

Agree completely with your last sentence. We paid them handsomely for using their ground and owe them nothing.

I didn't say he was, but Nilsson leaned heavily on him, & we were play off bound until Jim Smith was forced on Nilsson, from which point we didn't win another game.

So many :) What if we didn't sign Larry Lloyd and kept Denis Mortimer What if we hadn't kicked off 15 minutes late against Bristol City What if Arsenal had beaten Ipswich in the 78 cup final What if we had signed Trevor Francis for 1m What if we had kept Tommy Hutch & Bobby Mac for one more...

We took more to the 1998 cup replay. A painful memory of course so best forgotten.

Never absolutely sure with the offside rules these days, but from the first screen shot Martin looks marginally offside whereas Weimann is clearly offside, although granted this is a millisecond after the shot was made. Weimann can't be offside in the 2nd screen as he isn't in front of Martin...

I dread to think how many times our fans will link him with other jobs between now and the end of the season.

Mentioned on another thread that I think the likely way we go will be to get a higher status of PL loans than we've had previously. We still have quite a few loans to use up. I thought the Gilmour rumour in the Summer had no credence, but if we are challenging for promotion that type of signing...

Not so much Eisa though. He's had a poor time of it since the days he was playing for Cheltenham against us in League 2.
