    So many point do you think we need to confirm a play off place ?

    I think we will see a couple of sides put out we don't expect in the next 5 games. Our remaining away games are against 19th, 23rd and 24th. I would guess at least 2 of them will be against sides playing with all their players behind the ball.and hitting us on the counter. Hopefully they will...

    Lampard red card

    It seems as though they make some of the rules so they can be interpreted in different ways for when the officials make a mess of it as they frequently do.

    Lampard red card

    As.i said it depends on which way the ref interpreted the play. Did the.player try to.block a shot? Did the ball go to a player in an offside position straight from the block? If so a good goal. If the GK touches the ball it's a save. The GK doesn't do blocks. What is Deliberate vs Not...

    SBT predictions for 24/25

    Forest is the best one 😁 3rd place and 4 points ahead of 4th. Fair play to them.

    Not a bad goal by someone many said was a waste of a signing. You can see how much it meant to him. Even Collins ran the length of the pitch to join in with the celebrations 😁 I think that goal will give our players a major boost. You can see how much of a close unit they are. We had about 15...

    Yes. We went through the same thing a couple of weeks ago. Some people just don't understand the rule.

    What didn't help us in these games were incompetent match officials. We were nearly the first side to put 2 past Burnley in the league and they have the best defensive record by far. It will be difficult to score against Hull. They have only let 7 goals in from their last 10 games. They beat...

    Hull have only scored 40 goals in 41 games. Only Luton have scored less. But they are another side that are quite solid defensively and don't let many goals in. 1-0 win.

    Lampard red card

    If an outfield player stops a shot it is a block and not a save. If a GK stops a shot it is a save. If a defender blocks a shot and intended to block a shot and then the ball goes to an opponent the player isn't offside. It is down to how the ref interprets the play.

    We shall see. Our games against our playoff rivals are at home. The games against the lower clubs are away. Win our home games then we would need a win and a draw from the 3 away games. But anything can happen. Beating Hull, Plymouth and Luton wouldn't exactly be a surprise. Would be nice to...

    5 games to go. Looks like it will be tight between Bristol City and ourselves. Middlesbrough may be 2 points behind us but their GD gives them an edge. Saturday is very important with their game at Millwall. Could well come down to the final game of the season at our place. WBA have got 2...

    But like I said earlier if it was Dovin he would have got praise especially as it was Collins who spotted Rudoni then got the ball to him with just seconds remaining. 2 points gained partly because of him.

    I still think 70 points for the playoffs and 72 for 5th place.

    At last a bit of praise for Collins. Personally I think he had a good game. His distribution was good. Some people need to get used to the fact that our season depends on him and he needs our backing. If it was Dovin in goal last night he would have got nothing but praise.

    Bit it was only just outside the box the first time he tried to take it. Hamer took the ball then threw it forward. Nothing happened. Then Dovin got his hand to it but couldn't stop it. I've had enough of players being shot dead yet sprint the length of the pitch when getting the decision...

    Or being obnoxious about the free kick Collins took where he kept making him take it further back. A few times he told him to take it back which totalled a few foot when a GK is going to hit it the length of the pitch. Compare it to the free kick Hamer scored against us. Took it well forward...

    Or refs. The ref should have seen the handball as he was closer. The linesman should have seen it as the player's hand moved a lot after it got hit by the ball.

    I'm with the majority in showing my displeasure but also willing to show my support especially when a vilified player helps us to win.

    I agree with you there but to me I allow an attacking player more than a defending player. A defending player can't afford mistakes. An attacking player is probing trying to make a goal. He made the chance for our winning goal.

    To me the linesman was the dodgiest out of the two. Spotted every infringement we made even when we didn't make one but missed the clear handball in the area. A couple of his offsides looked real dodgy.
