Their tactics were actually very effective. Overwhelm the midfield and bypass it by pumping long balls into the channels for their quick forwards to latch onto. We also allowed Louza far too much time on the ball. Which obviously is something you just can't do against Watford as he'll dictate...

At this level you're just not going to play well every game. As punishing as Leeds and Burnley were last season they definitely didn't. Like you said it's about taking your chances. If you're clinical the rest of the fluff doesn't particularly matter. We saw the level of frustration we caused...

This is one of the key reasons why we're so threatening I think. We're very capable of scoring against the run of play. Which for an opposition, must be in the back of their mind when pushing forward.

We were largely reliant on very young forward line in that season who at times needed taking out of the side for their own good. Armstrong for instance after Jan I think scored 3 goals in 15 games.

Great to have bagged the win. But a bizarre performance by a lot of players. Rushworth MOTM by a country mile. Silly mistake for the pen but Watford would've scored probably 2-3 more without him in goal. Distribution was also very good. Both centre backs were all a bit shambolic at times...

Yeah it's rubbish. PB has even denied it personally.

Bamford can play anywhere across the forward line I believe.

Possibly. Then again there's an argument to be made that us pissing about so much with the CB targets that Bidwell would've had to be retained in case we weren't successful in getting one over the line. Realistically once Wolfenden was in the building it was likely too late in the day to...

I didn't really think Brau would slot straight into the side - as with the vast majority of foreign players coming in there's inevitably going to be a settling in period which can take X amount of time so it would've been unrealistic to demand he hits the ground running straight away. Dasilva...

You say Brau will get the chance when the time is right.... we were 3-0 up when Bidwell was subbed on vs Sheff W. Not really sure what better time there was to get minutes to be honest. Fair enough at the tail end of games such as Portsmouth where really we need to try and see the game out...

That'll be him gone for the next 3 months then.

I think this is it really. Yes, we've probably had a more favourable run than most but no games are easy in this league and anyone can beat anyone. The manner in which we're putting teams away makes me think we should be able to compete against the better sides in the league quite comfortably...

Yeah it seems like it's a big ask for them to mount a play off charge given who they've lost. Still some capable players but not a lot of goals in that team really on the face of it. I think most probably expected a new manager bounce when Wilder came in but sustaining that form for an...

Why does it when we've scored all types of goals and are actually incredibly difficult to play against regardless of how the opposition set up largely due to how diverse and unpredictable we are in attack?

Rumour has it he recently saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for the first time and enquired to see whether Oompa Loopas were a viable option.

Oh another fanatical claim from Wagner just to make it even more believable now you've said that. He wants this stadium to be completed by 2029.

Oh come off it just because Tom Brady has a hand in BCFC that categorically doesn't mean the NFL is setting up shop in the Midlands. There's so many roadblocks to overcome for more games to come to the UK. Mainly, there's contracts in place with Spurs' stadium and Wembley and the fanbase just...

Yeah those two clubs are so unique though it's not even worth comparing. Football is ingrained within their culture and respective communities - like you said it's basically church for them. Re. your second point, even if he gets BCFC into the Prem, that still won't be enough. He'll need them...

Yeah I realise that, but it's still inconceivable for a Championship football club to be pulling in anywhere close to 60k fans every week. Unless it's full week in week out it's financially illogical to build a stadium of that size. On the topic of it being a multi-purpose arena - great...

Yeah but that wasn't their average across a full season... I've just looked it up even when they first moved into the Ricoh they were only averaging around 18k.
