“Antagonisingly close” 🤣

For perspective, there have been nine games at Derby in that period and 6 were draws.

True, but they also beat us during the month on our own patch.

At least they have a stadium design ready to go 🤣

Context being the respective value of the squads and the improvement generated by the manager?

Whoever plays we need far better cover for Bidwell. Once Rudoni was injured and lost mobility, Bidwell was continually exposed and that continued when Rudoni went off.

Not really. Leeds won every game with +16 goal difference including beating us!

Yes agree. It was also interesting to see Burnley struggling with crosses into their box last night. Hopefully we can exploit it when we play them.

All of that is a fair assessment, but it doesn't change the fact that Saturday is a one off game and anything can happen. With the knowledge he has of our players, perhaps this is the game where he gets the tactics right and maximises the performance from his team?

Cardiff v Burnley an interesting watch. Cardiff definitely had joy with crosses into the box and their aerial threat, which is one of our strengths.

Quite reassuring, as in his case the opposite usually happens.

It’s going to deflect in off Hamer after being given away by O’Hare in midfield 🤣

Can we register Lampard and sub him on for penalties 🤣

A fresh squad with a promotion just behind them and confidence high. They will still be a challenge, but as long as we give nothing away I can’t see us failing to score a couple.

That day at Wembley is up there with my top 2 games. Unbelievable and most exhilarating Sunderland to drop off completely? They’d have to be as bad as we were the 12 games at the end of last season. Having said that, City will do it if we continue our form over the last 8 games and they...

Aside from one year of actually making the play offs we don’t have any experience of just falling short. It’s either a long way off or abysmal failure.

Surely the EFL process is there to determine the suitability of the new owner and transfer golden share ownership? This was confirmed at the time https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/64170090.amp

He needs to be firing on all cylinders by the end of the season for that to happen.

Agree. however we are very unlikely to generate a Gyokeres level fee again in the near future.

It’s possible. I’m not an accounting expert and have used straight maths to come up with that number. I guess we paid some significant fees in that period, so perhaps my conclusion is incorrect.
