    Exciting times for all skyblues

    Counting chickens before they’ve hatched. That game in hand against Plymouth is away, likewise, Hull’s game in hand is against Southampton away. Hoping 2 losses but my money would be on an Albion draw and Southampton win.

    Exciting times for all skyblues

    We’re 1 point behind them now, a win against PNE and WBA would be massive. WBA have got Plymouth and Hull away before they play us so we could both be out of the playoffs by March 2nd.

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    Happened against Stoke too. I’ve noticed a few times that COH can slow play down and can choose relatively low risk passes. It’s a minor tweak unless he’s been told specifically not to make those passes.

    That is nonsense. He’s made more public pronouncements praising his relationship with Doug. Robins is first and foremost, a pragmatist and states things as he sees it. Players are tired and he needs to deflect/manage expectations with the fans.

    Probably not but he understands it’s an incremental process and he’s setting expectations with fans. The FA Cup was probably increased the annoyance because it’s 4-5 extra games (assuming we beat Maidstone). With the games coming thick and fast it’s v difficult to manage the players workload...

    It was energetic which is what Robins was looking for in Sakamoto’s place. Without being harsh, the quality was lacking. Perhaps Tavares should start against Maidstone. I was in the camp that he shouldn’t but today’s performance has influenced my opinion.

    We’ve got a lot of young players who might not be Prem quality right now, but will be in 1-2 seasons. If we get promoted we’ll end up signing players in positions who are definitely Prem calibre. Trust the process.

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    Personally, I’m really happy he’s been in the goals in the last few games! He’s seemingly turned a corner and hopefully he starts believing in himself.

    Define disaster please? A draw would be an unideal result but not a disaster.

    Overplaying it now and inviting pressure. Things look a little bit disjointed.

    We thought we had a our man (EMC) on deadline day - Peterborough pulled out at the last minute. Not really much we could’ve done.

    Starting Tavares is obviously not ideal but MVE and Sakamoto have had a lot of minutes and need a rest. To finish in the top 6 we need them on form against PNE, WBA and Watford.

    Stoke would know - they spent £60m the year they came down to the Championship. They’re now fighting for survival. I got a brief history of the club this morning and another fan looking at us as a Premiership club to be from the outside.

    I’m meeting an old uni mate who supports Stoke and I had a really nice breakfast in Hanley! No oatcakes, I went for something a little more bourgeois - Hideaway if anyone is after some good grub. 2 plates of pancakes for £15.

    My guess is that we’ll play 3-4-1-2 too based on that.

    What are people’s plans for this? I’m travelling solo today - I’ll be in Stoke-on-Trent for 09:48.

    Win promotion or the FA Cup ?

    I said I’d cry before the playoff final, irrespective of result and I didn’t cry in the end… … I feel like I’d actually cry if we won promotion too! I quite literally fell to my seat after Hamer scored!

    Win promotion or the FA Cup ?

    I love the vision that @ccfc1234 puts forward… promotion to the premier league is more likely and better for the club.

    Yes, but how do they consistently overturn deficits to win the league? They were 12 points behind Arsenal last season and it’s fair to say they lost the title rather than Citeh ‘won’ it - their fate was in their hands.

    Considering we had to resort to the likes of Burroughs, Howley, Maguire, Dabo and so on last season… we’re so much stronger this season. I’m glad MR was on the radio this morning saying he needs to rotate players this next few games. The whole adage of ‘never change a winning team’ or ‘always...
