    The final table prediction...top 6 or not?

    I'll admit I'm a dickhead if we don't finish in the top 6.

    Goal Difference

    I think it will be Sunderland in the SF and Burnley in the final. I'd settle for that right now as well. A fresh Wright and Simms in the middle up front. EMC on the left with Saka on the right. Rudoni charging through midfield at them. Grimes controlling midfield. Even footballs 0-0 specialists...

    Cov v Stoke

    Spot on. He's been left with a squad depleted by injuries and a bench of kids/players not good enough. Should be an easy win. A round of applause to show our appreciation before the game. He saved us from oblivion no matter what angle someone wants to take it from. We've had exciting years we...

    The final table prediction...top 6 or not?

    Leeds and Sheffield United top 2. 0-0 specialists Burnley in 3rd. 3rd and 4th Sunderland and ourselves. Can't see Sunderland going up. They lost 2 key players to long injuries in their home defeat to Hull. Add to this they haven't been playing well for weeks. Good chance we will go past them...

    Apologies to Dean Austin

    Maybe a few people said what you say they did. But many said the same as myself. We signed players. We didn't sign for positions. We didn't sign to strengthen the squad where needed. We signed Asante who was the WBA top scorer from last season that we didn't need as much as a RB. Then you...

    Yes you think. I also think the same. The reason we think is because we don't know. I'll repeat myself just for your benefit. We have a young player where you will struggle to find anyone else who has as many assists and scores goals. He has an ex midfielder, a world class one at that, to...

    We are right in it

    Do you remember a couple of seasons ago when the two supposed outsiders, Coventry and Luton, met in the final? And if we do play one of them we should have Wright back and up to speed by then. I'm sure he would have been scoring for fun the way we're playing. Isn't he still our joint top...

    I agree. Hamer has more in his locker ATM but Rudoni is still learning. And what a teacher he has in Lampard. I can see Rudoni making it all the way to the top. And hopefully with us.

    Yes he did. But we're coming towards the end of this season and he still hasn't lost the summer enjoyment weight.

    Le Fee is a massive loss for them. Ballard one of the first names on the teamsheet. Would compare it to us losing the quality of players like Sheaf and Wright. It's a big hit.

    We're already on an incredible run. You have to accept the defeat to Leeds as they're a level above everyone else. But we're now going into games with our opponents hoping to nick a point. All this without a full strength side since last year. I hope we have Wright back by the Sheffield United...

    We are right in it

    Sunderland are not as good as the table suggests. They've been struggling lately and have now lost one of if not their best player, Le Fee, to injury. Ballard also picked up an injury in the home defeat to Hull. We're also at home. I don't see it as an unlikely win. But spot on with Sheffield...

    They lose we lose? What we do need is to win. Three teams below us would go past us if they win we lose. The teams below this are out of the race unless they put a winning run together. Norwich are one of these three and they play Blackburn. A win would most probably put us in the top 6. The...

    A lot if it could be psychological. When with us he pushed for his dream as much as he could. Failed at the last hurdle. Left us to pursue his dream of playing in the Prem. A bigger wage came with it. But he loved his time with us. Loved by the supporters and felt like one of us. Plays a season...

    They had a great run when their manager took over. Lost his first game to Leeds. Then won 5 drew 2 in the next 7. But since then they have been poor. Don't know if it is down to injuries but going from winning most games to struggling to even get a shot on target?

    I'm not so sure. It will depend on our formation. If we play Simms and Wright up front there will be space on the bench for Bassette. If we only play 1 of them up front then I fully agree. It's difficult to guess which way Lampard will set us up because Wright has been injured all the time he...

    Frank or Mark?

    The big difference has been the defence/GK. Without the form of Dovin we wouldn't be anywhere near the playoffs. We're also putting more chances away.

    Doug got it right

    The problem is could have, should have. Managers are there to be shot at. Their first goal was class out of nowhere. Nothing would have stopped it. The second a foul/defensive mistake.

    Rudoni leaving is more fear than probable. But the Prem sides and teams that go up look for players like him. Young and improving that runs at players. Puts in a good ball, gets plenty of assists and can score goals. Would we turn down a 15m bid? IIRC Jack Clarke went for that much with add ons...
