Taking the upcoming away games against Ipswich and Southampton in isolation, 2 points would be better than 3. That pair plus Brum are undoubtedly starting to flex. Although they are all dangerous opponents (especially away) the pressure is now massively on them to try and claw back ground. If...

BTA’s hot streak reminds me of Chuba Akpom and Sam Szmodics, who both had an amazing championship season out of the blue. I’d take that by the way. Interesting how long he can keep it going. Rudoni most improved for me (assuming he hits the levels after injury). A lot of people said he had no...

Ben Bloom is pretty fair. Love Sam Parkin on his show too and What the EFL. Second tier I listen to but Ryan Dilkes is a bit of a 🔔. At least Justin changes his mind when the facts change. Favourite Championship reviews / previews are from Callum Fowler. Very funny and honest (hates blades as...

Would have been mad even back then to sell. We’d have been forced into the market at the end of the window just to help Sheffield United. Why would we have done that?

Wednesday obviously. Norwich and Southampton you’d think might sort it out but in both cases you have owners who look like they will be slow to react. Especially Norwich who have to sack both the manager and the DOF. They’re defo down for me.

Bit of everything last night. Individual mistakes, some players not familiar with each other, good players missing, formation not the best after a few sub-par performances. Really missing Rudoni now imo. Did well without him but oppo are adjusting to the way we have compensated for his absence...

Just don’t think he’s actually versatile. He’s someone who needs to find a club who play 3 CBs regularly. Bidwell’s been ropey for a while now as LB but I’d have him over Lati in a back 3. Tougher, more mobile, better in the air.

Ah right. Only saw part of the thread and match 🤪

He is

BTA is an early candidate for Championship POTS

The comment that makes me wince is when people say ‘nobody’s really standing out or grabbing the league by the scruff of the neck’ Translates as “I predicted the parachute teams to be up there and they’re looking shit” This season is really weird. Teams seem reluctant to sack managers. It’s...

The BTA of last season doesn’t score that second goal. Always had a nice strike on him plus immense work rate. But now starting to show composure and decent decision making. He’s someone reaching for another level. He totally epitomises our team right now. I wonder how far he can go?

He was a fantastic player despite being 38 when he joined us. Players didn’t tend to get much past 33 in those days due to diets, booze and other issues. As a manager, gave us some good times and managed Ron’s expensive choices better and for longer than the big man did. Atkinson was moved...

At this level, there’s not too many CBs who have the same levels of defensive capabilities who are rapid. Those who do, get sucked up to the prem pretty quickly. BT and LK have a good understanding which counts for a lot and have always benefited from having confidence in their keeper. MVE...

I thought he signed a four year deal with blunts last year? I refuse to believe a player with 3 years left on his contract says stuff like is quoted in the article. Must be bollocks.

Fair play to Torp. He was getting pelters for various things. Ability to last matches, lack of physicality, lack of pace, inconsistency and injury record. He only had a proper pre season in the summer just gone and FL has found his best position. He’s adapted to the physical aspects of the...

One of the reasons we got Godden was that we couldn’t get TW in ‘19

I wouldn’t die of shock if he started with Simms.

IIRC, McCallum caught himself a big following of PL scouts who were turning up to loads of games shortly after he broke into the side. It wasn’t just Robins who rated him highly. The weird bit for me was the collapse in Mason’s standing. Was he really so unsuited to WB and how could he not find...

I know a couple of Watford fans who really rated him. He started 19-20 season well. Think Robins didn’t fancy him as a LWB once he switched to a back 5 and then just canned him.
