I’d argue that Lampard’s transition was eased by King’s forum. As the leader of the football club, he needed to set the record straight because there were people outwardly claiming Robins was undermined by the likes of Austin and Dr Roberts. The atmosphere at Sunderland away was down right...

Going into Jan, there should only be two types of signing that need to be considered: - loans that help us ‘win now’ e.g. Moore to Ipswich 23/24 - Players who will start for us if we get promoted e.g. Le Fe for Sunderland Signing ‘cover’ players is simply insufficient for our needs as a club...

No, that wouldn’t have sufficed imo. The sacking was unbelievably unpopular and therefore, needed to communication to justify his decision publicly. Not everyone felt the same, but generally people understood the decision. Ultimately, King’s strategies have been completely vindicated.

The consensus among Stoke fans was that we the better side and the best they’ve played this season. Particularly in the first half, second half Stoke edged it slightly. I’m used to thinking Robins calls games fairly and on this occasion felt he was clouded in his judgment. There probably is a...

Seconded. In games we generate low xG, Haji gets a lot of stick. It’s fair to say BTA and Sakamoto were largely anonymous too. EMC takes the plaudits for the goal but felt he was our brightest spark Whilst he didn’t have a good game, he was better than BTA who was largely anonymous. It was a...

He’s definitely badly concussed there, eyes are all over the place and looks drunk. Top goal, thought EMC played well too yesterday.

Not even because we’re in competition with Ipswich, I hope Blackburn get justice for their postponed game. At home, however, Blackburn have been awful, 1-1-5 is their form.

For sure, Ipswich have to do the hard work of beating us twice, their game in hand and match our results. Our home form in particular is going to be crucial in this next month or two because there’s a lot of difficult away fixtures; Boro, Ipswich and PNE are all in the top 6 for home form and...

More like 2points because they have a game in hand. December is a huge month for us because there’s a lot of difficult fixtures.

We play Ipswich twice in December so we’ll really find out who’s top dog by New Year.

Stoke fans I met today were v much complement art of both our full backs. We all mutually agreed we shut down their wingers.

Which probably is to be expected because we’ve scored a lot more as a whole. The ratio of our headed goals was ridiculous last season and was unlikely to be carried on this season. Fun fact: we’ve scored 2 more right footed goals this season than the entirety of last season. Which, in fairness...

We’re joint league leaders with Wrexham (6) as things stand. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/championship/torverteilungart/wettbewerb/GB2#google_vignette

I’m liking that we’re being tactically flexible, there’s no point us in us perfecting BTEC Pepball to go up and get beaten soundly by more technical and physical teams. Long may it continue!

No. He’s a rival now. Robins will always have a special place in place in hearts from a Cov perspective, but it’s time to move on.

It’s not the only way but it’s the most cost effective and efficient way to build points. There’s 6 midweek games that’ll bag 130 points versus 8 Saturday games for 80 points. That’s assuming you managed to get tickets for Oxford, Wrexham and Millwall away in the league cup. After new year...

No, they’ll be crying when they don’t get tickets for Blues and WBA away when it sells out at 1600+ and 1400+ respectively.

He’s been approached by Wolves, didn’t take the teams training session today and cancelled his pre-match conference today… It’s not looking good for Boro and frankly, it’s a bit of a risk for Edwards even if its his old club.

In fairness, we got quite a bit of coverage under Robins when we were marching up the table. It’s difficult to schedule teams in who are doing poor leading up to the New Year, which was the case over the last 3 seasons. We only got more games on Sky last season when we were in the playoff...

Which is somewhat of an anomaly. In any case, Stoke are over performing pretty average underlying numbers which is only sustainable for so long and here’s hoping that comes to an end tomorrow. In terms of xA, Birmingham have the best defence in the league and we put 3 past them in a comfortable...
