That’s ridiculous though. I reckon it’s a 50/50 call. If we are at our best we can win but some of our recent performances, particularly against teams in and around the relegation zone, have been poor. We do seem to rise to the occasion against the good teams - of which Sunderland are one - so...

I'm starting to get nervous about Friday already! I think we have a very decent chance of getting to the final but, whatever happens, Frank has given us an exciting end to the season. I certainly didn't expect that at the time of his appointment. 👍

It's a thought but not having seen him play there it's impossible for me to say, although I have doubts as to whether his aerial crossing would be good enough. I guess he would be more like Haji, cutting inside the box from the wing. Don't get me wrong, I liked him when he played for us but I...

We have a great midfield for the Championship. Grimes, Rudoni and Sheaf as starters and Torp, Eccles and Allen on the bench. That’s pretty good. If he was still with us, I honestly don’t think Callum O’Hare would get much game time. With everyone fit it is entirely conceivable that he wouldn’t...

I was one of those who was in the “Give Robins more time to turn it around” camp. He was a great manager for us and I truly believe he saved our club. One thing I never understood though was the opposition from a lot of fans to Lampard’s appointment. It seemed to me that the only sensible...

I think we will win on Friday. The away leg is going to be tricky, so I would like a two goal advantage to take to their place. I’m going for 2-0 to us at home and either a 1-0 defeat or 1-1 away. That will do nicely 🙂

I will really miss him. Football’s answer to Murray Walker! I can only hope he’s going to Sky F1. Him and Martin Brundle would be the dream team. I can hear him now, just as Norris laps Verstappen, saying “Norris in real danger from Senna now”. 🙂 The guy’s a legend.

Rudoni is a great player at Championship level.

It was nice to see. He clearly has pace and talent but - rather like Kasey Palmer - he needs to improve his consistency. If he can do that he will be a very valuable player for us.

I have just heard one bit of good news. Our play-off final match against Sheffield United or Bristol City is to be held at our other home ground 👍

I agree. Collins does distribute the ball better but the key task of a goalkeeper is to keep the ball out of the net and on that count Wilson is far superior.

I thought Saka was immense today. Back to his old self with his ball control, crossing and general trickery. He also worked hard defensively when he tracked back. Without that I don’t think we could have allowed MVE to take throw-ins far upfield on the left.

To think that, a few months ago, many folk on this forum wanted Ruud van Nistelrooy as our manager rather than FL 😆 I must also confess that I was in the “give Mark Robins more time” camp because I loved him for all that he did in turning our club around. To be honest I always will but looking...

Top 5 deck. 😆

Fifth!

I was about to say the same. 🙂

Yyyyyyeeeeeeasssss!

Except when shooting. 😆

Great effort by BTA!

Wilson has been immense so far. 🙂
