So, with 6 points on the board in 2 games, what do we reckon we'll be on after the nominal benchmark of 10 matches? Aidy Boothroyd said about 1.6 points per game for play-offs iirc. Fixtures as follows: Coventry v Crewe Tue 18 Aug 19:45 Walsall v Coventry Sat 22 Aug 15:00...

Like you say, it depends if Newcastle want / need him back, and if he'll be in or around their first team. Also, if (when) he's still up near the top of the L1 scorer charts, maybe he'll want to stay to grab the chance of topping it.

Pre-season is just a fitness exercise. So yes, it is forgotten. It's not like the results matter, is it? If we'd won them all and then lost the first two league games, I doubt anyone would be saying 'don't forget how well we did in the warm-up games'.

Millwall boss Neil Harris told BBC London 94.9: "I thought it was a shambles at times to be honest. "It really hurts to be honest and I'm not sure it hurts some of those players in the dressing room as much as it hurts me." "We knew they had dangerous players, they had exciting players but...

Yes, they were.

The ref is a rapist?

So... Armstrong 2 goals Maddison 2 assists Lamires 1 goal 1 assist. Not a bad front 3 methinks.

Armstrong again!

If we win today, we only need around 46 points to avoid relegation. #PUSB 3 - 0"!

Nearly 3 - 0 I can only assume my wife slipped some psychedelic drugs into my coffee and this is some weird hallucination.

Top of the league. 2 points clear... :whistle:

35 yard lob / chip. Golazo!

Head: 1-0 defeat. Heart: 2-0 win. Probably a draw.

Psychology innit. Say it's an intimidaing atmosphere, then the players get out there and realise it isn't that bad, then they think that they feel like that because of their mental strength, then they grow in confidence because of that and play better. It's quality man-management imho.

Can cast iron guarantee that's not the case. We're paying at least one 3k, with bonuses on top.

The big thing for me is that both of our main strikers are off the mark after 1 game each.

Maybe Everton would cover the wages as part of the deal. It's not unheard of. You don't always have to pay to loan players in. If we got him for free, would people still say he shouldn't come?

There has to be a level of realism. If the club is to stand on its own two feet financially, then the chances are that we won't compete in the Championship. That said, if / when the books balance, then gradually the state of the club (financially) should improve with a stint in that division. I...

Someone asked about Clarke's goal bonus. I wondered about the keepers clean sheet bonus. I assume that's why he was so petulant. As I would be, tbf.

What is new? The Premier League states: "A player in an offside position shall be penalised if he; 1. Clearly attempts to play a ball which is close to him when this action impacts on an opponent or; 2. Makes an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the...
