    Biamou may not be in the same “legend” category as some, but a) he’s certainly more so than some listed and b) he was a pivotal part of the beginning of journey we’re currently on. Perhaps it’s seen as “cool” to slate Biamou, but actually it’s pretty nonsensical and narrow minded if his...

    Haha! I’ll be sure to ask all guests for their SBT names on arrival….

    Different experience to usual for me again tomorrow as I’m hosting a couple of tables for work as part of “Legends Day”. I’ve even forced my partner to come, albeit I doubt she’ll watch the game. I have warned I’ll be the ultimate professional until 3, then it’s a different story! Great to...

    Remaining games

    Not going to do the predictor but what an exciting time to be a Cov fan, again! Being this close it will be disappointing if we miss out, and there’s LOTS of ‘if only’ moments to reflect on, coupled with injuries and off pitch stuff. But either way it’s a good end to the season, a long long...

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Been attempting a few light hearted, short episode type series to watch with the partner recently: Extraordinary (Apple TV) - really enjoyed it. A few missed jokes, but overall got enough solid chuckles from me and the characters (well three of the four main ones) are pretty engaging too. Quite...

    Goddens USP is scoring. Its seemingly been previously accepted that as long as he scores we can live with him not offering much else. But a) it seems to take him more chances to score now and b) if we want to be in the promotion hunt we cannot carry a player like that. Can still be used in a...

    Two big big chances missed at the end. We fucked ourselves really. Four points dropped from last two games. It’s not over but it’s a massive massive shitter.

    Impact of Sheaf has been massive. He’s so so good.

    Few individuals worse, few better, but overall as a team we just haven’t been good enough so far. Other than one counter attack, we’ve barely played any football at all. Maguire not offering much, but it’s being exacerbated as neither are the front two. Gyokeres attempting to but he’s being...

    Wilson having a good game. His level of confidence from when he first became No1 to now is great to see.

    1) Weather is absolutely horrendous! Any chance it’s called off? Guess it depends on how the pitch handles it. 2) Wigan look a decent side and have played some decent stuff so far.

    Pleased with that team, and especially Burroughs over BNC, as a) he’s better and b) he’s our player. Hope Walker gets a decent run out tonight.

    I get all that Pete, and I also know as a poster you are always quick to the defence of players and the team, which is great. In this case however, it isn’t needed - it wasn’t jumping on his back, but as ferret said it’s a surprise he’s out. Clearly I hope he has an absolute stormer today (and...

    I get that, but sort of disagree. It’s not just the beer, I imagine it’s not the usual chilled and easy going pre game night. Plus they’ll likely be back late - especially if they do the niceties after etc - so won’t get an ideal sleep. Sounds silly, but small things really matter these days...

    Mark Robins

    Unfortunately I remember every single one of those players! Always liked Stokes, he was a steady, solid and reliable LB but was never going to make the journey to Championship play off contenders with us. He absolutely loved/loves the club too which is always good to see. Stevenson is the...

    Birthday weekend; tried my best to persuade my partner to come, even offered to watch it away from my usual ST seat and in a box, but she was having absolutely none of it. So instead I’m bringing a few mates in addition to the usual crowd I go with. One of whom is a Man U fan who has been to...

    What Was Your…

    Notts County away, L2 play off semi final - every single time. Best live game I’ve been to. Unreal game, unreal atmosphere, and really a significant milestone in our recent history.

    Where Will We Finish

    We are absolutely in the play off hunt now. I said it on the match thread - despite the depleted squad I genuinely think we have a decent enough chance of scraping 6th. Absolute testament to MR and the team. Excited end to the season ahead!

    Despite the increasingly depleted squad, we’re very much in the play off race. Fantastic effort from MR and the team. We’re in for an eventful and exciting end to the season. Considering the continuous adversity we’ve faced this season, a top sixth finish would feel even sweeter. Bring on Hull!
