Gutted for BTA because he’s had such a good season. If we can sign a striker in Jan, we probably should go for it now. Something is probably in the pipeline because why else would be pass up on signing Bamford?

Asante is out for 6 weeks now?!

There’s a reason our whole bench jumped up as soon as the ref waved off the penalty appeal. They all have iPads watching from this type of angle. It’s a penalty and red card and the referee did try to even things up for a little bit. One instance being where a corner was called in the first...

It looked to me he was trying to shoot with his right foot. He had 2 defenders hacking him down and it’s a clear penalty.

Any Cov player for top scorer will get a good price at the bookies. Simms and Thomas are particularly useful at set pieces, which unsurprisingly, we’re top of the charts. I seen yesterday that we’re the first professional team to score 50 goals this season… There’s only one team who’s scored 30...

Conceding goals from set pieces is becoming an issue again… Iirc, we’ve only conceded 7 goals from open play this season; 1 v Norwich, 1 v Pompey, 3 v Wrexham and 2 v WBA. Have I missed any more?

That’s the season we were ‘comeback kings’ too. Even in 22/23, we did not win a single game from a losing position.

I’m confident we’ll get a draw at least. They will be under more pressure to get a win and that plays into our hands imo. I’m confident that even if injuries pile up this month, we’ll get to January and sign a few players to get over the line. The depth of the bench does worry me a bit. Having...

Probably will have surgery in the summer and fight through this season. Despite being rusty, he had something about him in the ball and he’s still got a big role to play this season.

I don’t think they are, they’ll finish Top 3, Boro, Stoke, Millwall and PNE are all over performing and that isn’t likely to be sustained over 46.

Burnley? He played v Leeds but didn’t start. We draw that game if one of Collins or Kitching takes charges and hoofs the ball away. Home form is always key and no one could’ve had any complaints if won all 9 of our games. At home we don’t look like anything can set us back. Go 1 or 2 goals...

Which is crazy. We’ve had some tough games at home too last season and this. I’m not that worried about dropping off from our current position when our home form has been this good under Lampard. We’ve got all the top half teams at home in 2026 and we’ve done the ‘hard bit’ of playing them away.

Haji Wright, but Simms is a streaky goalscorer. We seen back in 23/24 that once he gets going, he doesn’t stop. I’m really happy for Simms because too many people wrote him off. It’ll be interesting to see if the ‘games scored in’ brigade will criticise Simms for scoring consecutive braces...

On the balance of things, they have better players but feel our team and team dynamic is much stronger. Lampard may even be a better tactician than McKenna too which I did not expect to say this season.

The Top 4 last season could barely separate Leeds, Burnley and Sheff U until about March when Sheff U lost to Leeds and Burnley. Conversely, we’ve beaten the 2nd to 4th away, play 7th and 5th away in quick succession. By Blues away, we’ll have played nearly all the top half away from home. To...

With home form like this, we’re not going to mess this up. We’ve definitely loss 2 league at home though; Burnley and Leeds. 3 if we include Ipswich in the FA Cup.

Exactly and on all the big decisions that impact loyal supporters, the club gets right. FZ seating, ST prices, PL package. Most of the people moaning about ticket prices probably aren’t even impacted because more than likely, they’re STH.

I just can’t see us all of a sudden becoming a bad team. We’ve more or less secured playoffs already because we’d have to average less than 1 PPG. Our next rivals Boro are tracking at 1.8 PPG which is below the typical run rate of 2. It’s also worth pointing out that we’ve beaten 2nd, 3rd and...

Is anyone worried about Ipswich? I’m confident we won’t lose next week.

It’s been a huge and exciting year of change for your family and this prioritises football! Once again, congratulations and hope everything is going well! There’s no judgement because there’s plenty of people who work shift patterns or are on call so it clash’s with work. I’ve been lucky I’ve...
