COH himself is knackered, 17km clocked against Man U, plays more or less 90m against Blackburn and given his injury record, 2 matches per week at this stage of the season is a higher injury risk for him. Yesterday we created enough chances to draw or even win the game, it was our defending that...

Cliches indeed, but it’s true nonetheless. There needs to be a bit of perspective of where we’re actually at. In the many conversations I’ve had on this forum, there’s been times where our depth and quality has been over stated. At this point of the season, the chickens have come to roost...

Which is why we have a 5 year plan and not a 3 year plan! We’ve got to trust the process. The foundations are there and just need building on. If we get £50-60m for Simms, Wright and MVE, it sets the club up for the long term.

Most of those players need to be upgraded upon tbf. Sheaf is a big loss but we’ve had to replace better players (Vik and Gus). Get some windfall from Vik, Hamer and a large fee for Sheaf and that’s a cause for optimism. It’s an opportunity to get the quality and quantity of players we need...

Collins kept us in the game with some good saves, I’m sorry but that isn’t the issue. If you want your GK to play out from the back, they’ll get caught out e.g. Rays v Spurs and Allisson for Liverpool. The team as a whole just aren’t defending as well. Whether or not it’s tactical or...

Who are we bringing on? Super Matty Godden? Our bench has no game changers. It’s just changes for changes sake.

Robins kicking off at the defence, we conceded 12 shots, 9 shots on target in the box. Frustrated with the defending and ‘a lot of work to do’ as reported by @Saddlebrains a week or two ago. Talking about building a squad of more quality and numbers to compete in every competition.

Agreed, we’ve got fringe players in the books who when we let some of them go in the summer, probably won’t be going to a championship team.

No one likes to lose games but it’s been clear since that the season has just taken its toll on the squad. We’ve got players playing who are out of position and not 100% fit. If we had the depth, they wouldn’t be playing. Man U was the last big effort of this season and you can see they are...

Ipswich are 2nd for a reason and whilst they’re a promoted team, they’ve spent a lot of money getting out of L1 and to get out the Championship. When people say players like Palmer, Allen and Kelly are ‘fine’ as backups for where we want to be (promotion) are talking nonsense. The depth of...

We’re just intent on giving away easy goals and 3 points in April. Ready to end the season Saturday now! Let down a good performance and all.

As much as I like an underdog to get promoted, the only reason I’d want to Leeds to stay down is an away at Elland Road. Next season, I’d rather be competing against Ipswich than Leeds. So for that reason I hope we spoil the promotion party!

Agreed on the point about his form dipping and it’s worth considering that he had played a lot of minutes with no rotation so he was probably fatigued as well as rough up. Next season you’d hope that we multiple players to give the oppositions something to think about.

I’ve just added the away one for that year to my collection! I logged onto to eBay before extra time during the semi final and bagged 2 bargains! Picked up a mint condition 2001/02 home shirt for £26!

They’ve ruined striped jerseys with that rubbish rule that the backs need to be plain. Otherwise, that’s a great shout - my favourite retro jersey that I want to collect at some point.

Not necessarily. I rate Sakamoto highly and the sceptic in me sees this historic goal scoring record and his xG for this season and it paints a picture that perhaps he had an excellent run of form. On a more positive note, like Wright, Sakamoto will have a full preseason, be more settled in the...

We probably would’ve said the same thing about Gyokeres 2 years ago yet he’s probably joining an elite team in the summer. You never know how players can take off.

This is surely a joke?! I imagine Wednesday is one of the last clubs he’d sign for after his experiences with them.

The club has believed they had a deal to bring EMC this January with no loan back. This obviously changed at the last minute which shorted our ability to pursue other targets. This is important because we got our main target and whilst we took a short term hit, his form has been strong and...

Without going too into it, at the surface level, Sakamoto should have less goals because he’s scored high difficulty (3.2 xG) chances and the opposite is true of Wright (xG 17.9). It’s an indicator more than anything but to give an idea, Sakamoto has the same xG per game as Kasey Palmer. He’s...
