Personally, my initial thought to this deal was that it’s a bit of a gamble to be honest. It’s not really any different to a ‘bond’ and if we get promoted the free ST is the interest. I get it, we need more revenue to compete in the transfer market and this is a way to do that but there’s no...

It's only worth doing if you have a child close to 18 as they will benefit from a cheaper Premium ticket if we made it to the promised land. I'm looking at the family stand, that value is pretty damn difficult to complain about and those savings probably mitigate the extra costs if we did make...

It’s an investment for your 16-18 year old. If everything goes to Doug King’s plan, we’ll be in the Prem when your kids are paying for full ticket prices. Couldn’t you pay for a Prem package for yourself and then buy your concessions standard season tickets?

I fancy us to nick a win to give Middlesborough a bloody nose before the playoffs. My head, is betting on a 0-0 or 1-1 draw.

Thankfully, we're not chasing a win unlike Millwall, Blackburn, Sunderland or WBA. I personally wouldn't trade places with any of those teams. Next week is a bit of a nothing game for Middlesborough too, they have home field advantage going into the playoffs (second leg at home). Would...

If Millwall draw, they'll finish below us unless we lose by 5 goals (or 4 goals, in the unlikely scenario Millwall draw 4-4 and we fail to score). Our GD and GS is superior to theirs and most of the teams around us. Without being too confident, I really think we'd need a lot to go wrong for us...

3rd plays 6th and 4th plays the 5th placed team. As things currently stand our playoff opponents will be Middlesborough.

Yes, you might be right - I got the regulations from another competition!

That’s true, Middlesbrough have had some good results to this season. From our POV, we need a lot of results to go against us for us to miss out. Sunderland, WBA and Millwall (or alternatively, Blackburn getting 6 points) getting away wins seems quite unlikely in the first place. On top of...

Guys, it’s GD, H2H and then GS. Sunderland need to win and beat our GD to finish above us.

In a repeat of Coventry v Morecambe all those years ago…

It’s a tough game and place to go, but unless Luton lose to Blackburn, Middlesborough are playing for nothing other than momentum going into the playoffs. A draw sets both teams up nicely and twists the knife into their local rivals by denying them a playoff berth. It’s GD then H2H (then GS)...

A win has put us in a very strong position. Only a heavy loss kicks us out of the playoff hunt. One of Blackburn and Millwall will drop points on the final day so a Blackburn win v Luton and draw v Millwall would keep us in the playoffs due to GD and H2H. If we have a meltdown and lose by 3 or...

We have to win v Birmingham and get a result regardless of today’s result. It’s the business end of the season. Blackburn have a difficult run-in as does WBA. Millwall ought to beat Blackpool but it’s not a given and play Blackburn on the final day so someone is dropping points. Watford and PNE...

When money was cheap to loan, the cost of servicing debt was sustainable. Money isn’t cheap anymore (5-7%) and Governments will have to ‘budget’ more to avoid a debt crisis. Fears around bonds as a result of increasing interest rates and unfunded policies let to Truss being ousted. This also...

There’s always a ‘what if’ when Southgate hits a milestone. We’ve lost to plenty of underperforming Italy sides. Remember 2014?

Agreed! I don’t really think anyone would come in who is guaranteed to do a better job. Southgate, for his flaws has a good understanding of the players and international football as a whole. International football is a more tactical game than the top end of club tournaments. Take the...

Pep Guardiola doesn’t even believe Foden has the discipline to play CAM yet. Let alone deeper. This isn’t fantasy football. We won a game away in Italy, a feat that hasn’t been accomplished since before most people on this forum was born. A team ranked 8th in world. Addressing a key criticism...

I’m living in cooko land here, but imagine if we signed Cresswell and McNally? I’d like to think that we can offer best proposition to McNally in terms of development. Look at Hamer, Gyokeres, Sheaf, loanees such as Maatsen and Doyle. Especially if we’re competitive next season, he could earn...

Without knowing how much wages he’s on, he’s worth keeping as a back up option. Last season his clinical finishing was worth a lot. Ideally, we need to be getting 35+ games out of him and that seems past him at this stage unfortunately. Speaking more generally, if we’re to play two strikers...
