If we get to 40 points in the next 9 games, it more or less mean we’ll make the playoffs barring a complete capitulation. That’s the first goal, judging by our start and relatively weaker starts from preseason favourites, you’d have to back us to make automatics. My big worry is squad depth...

I have a feeling we’ll draw v Watford or Wrexham. When you’re in the form we’re in, it feels like no one can stop us but the Championship can humble teams. Looking at the fixtures I fancy getting 10 points between now and the international break which would be an exceptional effort. Jed...

Their home form is a good, their away form is horrific. Only Ipswich and Watford are yet to win away. At home, it’s a fixture we ought to be picking up maximum points.

I’m not too concerned about other teams atm. There’s still a long way to go and teams will come in and out of form. If we can build a gap between ourselves and the rest of the pack, great. Hopefully that’ll give us an injection of cash to strengthen in Jan to keep us at that automatic form.

This is going to end badly for Blues. They’re paying 11% interest on the loans the owners give to their club. Imagine financing a 60k seater stadium in the championship? Delusional.

Haha we got Haji for £7.7m initially. Idah, like Kyogo (and Stansfield), even if they’re good players, their clubs have overspent on them.

I agree on the competition point. We have the luxury to rotate players in some areas now. The only ‘gap’ is our winger options because there is only EMC and Saka. KKH and Brau aren’t the players you want to bring on chasing games. All the games we’ve drew this season, we did look like we’d ran...

No doubt fans will snarkily chant ‘where were you when you were shit?’ If and when Wednesday bounce back. As a club, we can speak from experience and you’ve got to vote with your feet when the ownership are running your club into the ground.

If anyone fancies a game of FC26, PM me I’ll send my gamer tag!

Football fans are too easily governed by their immediate emotions.A player has a bad game = bad player and vice versa. We know v little about the things going on behind doors like players carrying injuries and so on. You had several posters saying Haji ‘can’t play in Lampard’s system’ and that...

In fairness, both BTA and Simms stepped up and won us games during our Jan-Feb form. The posters arguing we needed to sign a striker massively overlooked this. In all seriousness, BTA and Simms would start for most Championship teams. I got a decent amount pushback for saying this in preseason too.

Getting a club like our own to the Prem is a great project. If we go up and win the league unexpectedly, we could go up, play the ‘right way’ an elite European team could still offer him a job. That’s why happened with Kompany. I’m just not worried about the likes of Rangers, West Ham, Forest...

RVN was v much in fashion because he had a good spell at Man U who have since performed poorly. Zooming out, it was a v short term and comparing to Lampard, FL did actually finish in the Top 4 with Chelsea over a full season in difficult circumstances. Full disclosure: Lampard was a ‘meh’...

My view was that we just completely nullified Pompey. They only chalked up 0.76 xG from 17 shots. A defensive error from Kitching leads to their goal and it was a v good, composed finish.

Why not? The % of players likely to make it is so low, the opportunity to provide back to the community with private schooling for 3 kids and accommodation is surely a good thing. As a club we definitely need to upgrade our youth facilities to compete in the long term. Players like Monga...

Worst kit, best mems. 🧡🧡🧡

I was in that. Waze recommended that journey which is the same one (more or less) from Southampton that I did in 23/24. To the game (from Slough) it recommended going via Petersfield and really should came back that way. The contraflow added about 20-25m to my journey.

It’s kinda ironic singing ‘city reject’ at him. He left us to go up a division and played a starring role for Ipswich in their promotion season. 100% agree that he’d be a great role player for us. He looked alright last night but we shut them down generally.

He did, as well as BTA and the latter is from BTA's own words. Simms put in a performance that’s put his hat in the ring. You can’t argue that he should play ahead of Wright or BTA but he’s keeping them honest and it gives Lampard food for thought. Definitely deserves more minutes.

I got in at 1:30 and an annoying delay was works on the M27 that blocked the junction to come onto the M3! Seen lots of Cov fans in the service ahead so assuming I wasn’t only impacted. Shit journeys home are manageable when we get 3 points. Imagine had we shit the bed and conceded in the last...
