    It's alright, he won't be able to read what it says anyway.

    Sunderland

    Are there other footballers with the same surname as teams? I guess Alan Brazil is kinda cheating. Edit: this is literally the only time I've ever wished Rod Hull was a footballer.

    Butts

    Imagine if it came from the council. Puts pressure on the club and SISU, because the expectation of staying in the city rears it's head again. It becomes doubly sickening when we end up being somewhere else, and SISU get extra blame for having another option to stay in the city and 'choosing'...

    Shipley or Bayliss at CM

    I've always been a fan of Shipley. One of the only players we have who isn't afraid to have a dig at goal, and clearly a valued, versatile squad member. It's easy to forget that Shipley and Bayliss only became first team players last season. I think we expect far too much of them both. They...

    Interestingly, Bakayoko scored just under 1 in 10 for Walsall (93 games, 9 goals). For us it's about 1 in 4 (27 games, 7 goals). Note: it's not really that interesting.

    I went for under 3.5 goals in the betting, so it needs to stay like this now.

    Stadium Deadline

    Two grounds I haven't heard mentioned, but are within 50 miles, are the Hawthorns and Pride Park (49 miles from the Ricoh according to Google maps). Can't see us going to Derby because of the distance, but West Brom has a realistic journey time.

    Will Robins walk?

    Nah, he knew the score when he came back. This is literally the only place he's had success, and I think (hope) he sees this club as his chance to become a managerial legend.

    final game at the Ricoh..

    Sorry, I hate to be that guy, but it's really bugging me to the point that I feel irrationally angry OP - your username should read Elton Welsby, not Welby.

    Cov Mad site.

    I've been on it a half dozen times since I joined this place. It was a great way to get club news once upon a time, but the internet moves on, and this site has the same info plus the benefit of arguments about it. Still, it's a shame, and I do appreciate the work that was put in.

    Well, it was a good ride while it lasted. If it turns out to be our last season in football, then at least it wasn't a relegation battle.
