    Must win

    Can we please stop saying that our next game is a 'must win' game. Those of us who remember the Premier League seasons know that a 'must win' game is a game you must win in order to avoid relegation (Everton and Spurs come immediately to mind). I just hope we don't have any 'must win' games this...

    Half term report

    We've now played all the other 23 teams in the Championship, and only 9 have beaten us. Of those 4 were by one goal, and the other 5 were against teams that are currently in the top half of the table. Our only really shocking result was against Blackburn. I'd say that that was a pretty decent show.

    Terry Gibson

    You said it. In that season he scored 19 goals and the next highest (Bennett) was 7. The following season he scored another 19 and the next highest was 5 (Regis).

    Standard of Refereeing

    I knew that if I stuck with this forum long enough I'd read something eminently sensible......and here it is. Thank you GMK for articulating what so many of us feel. When the history books are written the demise of the beautiful game will be traced back to the introduction of VAR.

    Officiating

    So at the next break in play, the forward who thinks he was fouled indicates to the referee that he wants to have a chat with the captain who then takes a second opinion from another forward who was close to the action before deciding whether to invoke a review. Do we really want this?

    Officiating

    Cricket has the natural breaks to permit such an approach, so this could apply for a penalty given or an 'offside' goal or a sending off when the game is stopped. But what about the penalty that wasn't given? Is the captain meant to consult with his teammates and then go chasing after the...

    Oh please don't complicate it any more. When the demise of the beautiful game is analysed they will trace it back to the introduction of VAR.

    Well, that's settled it then. Amadine Bakamou is the man for us.

    Early Season - how do we think it will go ?

    My main hopes are that no-one says 'could of' and everyone learns how to spell our players' names. I know this is an ambitious target but I am inspired by 2 promotions in 3 seasons.

    Realistic Expectations next season

    The last time we were promoted as champions was in 1967 and we finished 20th out of 22 in the following season in Division 1. Fortunately only 2 teams were relegated in those days.

    Realistic Expectations next season

    I have to confess to a certain amount of nervousness about next season, but when I look at the bottom half of the Championship table I see QPR, Reading, Stoke, Sheff Wed, Middlesbrough, Huddersfield, Luton, Birmingham and Barnsley. Add Rotherham and Wycombe to this list and I feel a whole lot...

    The worse thing about next season-

    We have about as much chance of stopping the moaners as we have of getting the 'should of' brigade to cut across to 'should have'.

    Free agent fan.

    Never a dull moment. I've seen them play in 10 different divisions, 4 trips to Wembley, the greatest cup final ever, the very best fans, passion, intrigue, never knowing what's going to happen next ….. what's not to like? Those who support the 'top' clubs don't know what they're missing.

    ‘If’ we are promoted what do we need to compete in Championship?

    You're quite correct. I consider myself out-pedanted.
