Full disclaimer: I was bricking it and very nervous going into that game after Rotherham had beating QPR. But, even had we lost it wouldn’t have been game over in my view. Robins has done really well this season to adapt to a host of injuries. He didn’t double down on ‘the box’ that makes us so...

I acknowledge this was too soon to have called it, but I felt like Rotherham were destined for relegation when we beat them 3-1 at home. Rotherham were always in a false position because their games in hand. Generally, the sense of paranoia on this board in relation to our own position...

The parties couldn’t agree to a ‘progressive alliance’ which would rally behind the party best poised to topple the Tory MP in a given constituency. It was astounding that the Lib Dems and Labour couldn’t agree to stand aside in marginals. You had a Lib Dem candidate in Kensington saying vote...

We were consistently 6-7 points above the relegation zone. If anything, you’re reading into a poor run of form against two very good teams away (B’mouth and QPR). Lets also put this into perspective. Biamou made the most appearances as a striker this season. Our 4th choice going into the...

No. We need to keep progressing. With a fully fit Godden and Walker to rely on, you’d think we’d have a lot more goal scoring capability which hampered us for a lot of this season. I don’t think it’s far fetched to think to say we’d be a few points better off those two being fully fit alone...

Things like this is why I just don’t think Labour will learn the lessons it needs to. Next election could be even more of a wipe out.

This is why Labour is in a pickle. A knee-jerk shift to the left won’t really do the party any favours. Corbyn ran on a radical manifesto. The obvious fact is that culturally, Labour needs to do something to win back its culturally conservative base. Be it Starmer or Corbyn, the party is seen as...

From the out of contract players, Hyam, McFadz and Kelly are non-starters. Jodi Jones will probably get a 1 year contract. Unfortunately, that’ll be last chance saloon for him with us. For Biamou, his stock remains relatively high if he leaves us now and could get a more long term contract in...

Why would it be? The bigger headline is obviously Labour losing council seats up and down the country and a by-election in a constituency that was considered a ‘safe seat’. Pockets of Labour performing well should not detract from a fundamentally bad election night. The party is in real...

Liverpool voted in favour of Remaining in the EU. Labour is haemorrhaging votes in areas that are working class and voted Leave i.e. the Red Wall seats. If the current trend of Brexit Party votes in 2019 being distributed 3/4 to 1 to the Tories, the situation is bleak for Labour.

Burroughs looked good after a somewhat jittery start with some poor clearances. But, today was the perfect game for them because Millwall were not good at all and the young players performed well.

They’re under contract. SBP is referring to players out of contract.

Home form was excellent this season. Our away form needs to be improved next season if we are to progress next season. Really positive about our future! Hoping for some positive transfers early in pre-season!

Is today the game where everyone who doesn’t usually score is getting in on the act?!

That’s a very dark joke for a match thread!

We need more goals from midfield, and Shipley seems to get goals from nowhere. It’s a good attribute to have and worth us keeping around. I don’t think anyone is suggesting he’s one of our best players now.

For all the hate Shipley gets, he does have a knack for scoring some really well placed goals. Definitely has a role to play next season. COH could probably take a leaf out of this book and shoot more often!

On the fundamental issues, Boris Johnson speaks the language of the working class. Whom overwhelmingly supports Brexit and is generally socially conservative in these red wall seats. Besides, Labour’s elite has also been overwhelmingly Oxbridge educated too. In relation to Corbyn, his entire...

It’s shortsighted to pin it on Corbyn. There were fundamental issues that predated the Corbyn era. Miliband oversaw the loss of Scotland and there’s a reason why parties like BNP (initially) and later UKIP began to hoover up Labour votes on the issue of immigration. You’ve got Brown dismissing...

The big thing in 2017 was that UKIP voters flipped to Labour. The current trend is that Brexit Party votes are being transferred to the Tories. If that trend follows, there are some really big hitters at risk in the Labour Party. Ed Miliband (Doncaster), Dan Jervis (Barnsley) and Ian Lavery...
