I get what you are saying, but I don't think the 'just happy to be here' thing has any relevance. I'm happy to be in the Championship. I'd be happy to be in the PL. but if promoted you could then say 'are you happy just to be surviving in the PL' as if there is something that anyone can do about...

Plus a really small wage bill compared to e.g. Forest, Bristol City etc etc.

I suppose that's why it is so important to establish yourself in the division. If you can upgrade the squad over a period of time, it should leave you less vulnerable. One of the main dangers is that we are in a constant state of being preyed upon for our better players (like the majority of...

For every Dembele, there are numerous failures. Agree that Posh have done (marketed) well their 'stars' and got good fees. Think that the market will be interesting next summer. Must admit I laughed at the report about the lad with the hair from Bristol City, Massengo. Apparently they turned...

It's a bit like any of the mid-table PL teams. If you are unable to crack the system and break into the top 4, at some point you will eventually have a 'rogue; season and will get relegated. The parachute payment system is causing a similar issue in The Championship. Unless you have a benefactor...

Agree - but as regards the Derby game, we don't have a midweek fixture, we haven't played much recently, so this ought to be at least a useful preparation for the next ;proper' game against Peterborough. If we field a weak team, then don't beat Posh, manager and fans will be moaning that we...

I'm going - so now you can say you know one. Perhaps if you go we won't be outnumbered by Derby fans?

People saying this game doesn't matter - if we finish 7th in the league, we get not a penny more than if we finish 17th (other than it may affect attendance revenue) If we do win we get £82,000 and £90,000 for the 4th round and £180.000 for 5th round etc (plus attendances). May well be the...

Interesting that Ryan Giles has been recalled by Wolves (from Cardiff) Glad about that (as we won't have to face him in the rearranged fixture), as he seems Cardiff's main provider for Keiffer Moore. They'll miss him, and have struggled even with his help. Edit@ popped on the Cardiff forum...

Thanks G. I'm going to go through it as a form of revision for next year's 'exam'!

Brilliant - you'd never see us do that...........

I'm going - predict a crowd of 6.002 (or 6,001 if I hadn't gone). Hoping Derby go batshit in the 2nd half against Reading and get 2 injured and 2 sent off. Jodi Jones to set up the winner.

Need Hamer, Gyo to get back. Peterborough is a really big game for us. Like others have said, I would quite like to see JJ get a run out against Derby - rest anybody who is carrying a niggle and get them good to go for the next run of league games. Reminds me - need to buy a Derby ticket later...

You said that 'even' Bristol City were about to beat Millwall, which insinuates they're crap - I'm just saying that they've played quite well recently. What point did I miss from that? Edit: I've just seen your reply to Clint (so that'll do for an answer!)

Bristol would have beaten QPR the other day had they not been down to 10 men (played really well)

It'll be Zayn, as I'm not signing for anybody other than the mighty Sky Blues (may not get a lot of game time though!)

Do they have seating as well as standing for away fans? Never been there before, which is weird, due to its proximity, and I've done over 50 away grounds.

Think it was the 4-0 defeat at Rotherham when he fell from grace iirc. Then we went to wing backs and rarely saw him again.

Happy New Year to one and all - telling son to go to bed at 3.40am this morning, woken up by puppy at 6.10. All in bed except me and puppy, who wants to play fetch and wrestle!

HNY back mate!! Millwall farce - last minute decision to go. NHS Cov-id passport on phone, 95% done, then battery drained, so failed and did lateral flow instead, Reported result on laptop and requested txt confirmation. wanted to set off in time to pinch one of our/your 'secret' parking...
