I like Eccles but if we want to progress to the next level, he’ll probably slip down the pecking order in my view. Sheaf and Eccles have stepped since Hamer has left, but is that area of the pitch better than last season? I’d say no. Even before COH got injured last season, we generally...

£15m is probably what I’d expect to get for Hamer with 2-3 years left on his contract rather than just the 1 year. We got lucky that Sheffield Utd appear to have got a bit desperate to make a signing.

Agreed, but I would imagine Torp has kept relatively fit as I’d imagine he was aware that a move was probably happening in January. Whilst there’s no rush to play him, MR will be keen to give game time as soon as he’s ready.

IIRC, on the Sporting side they sold themselves as a destination to develop and attract a massive move in the future. In hindsight, Sporting has gave him a better opportunity to put himself in the shop window than say, the host of Prem clubs supposedly interested; Wolves, Palace, West Ham and...

There was nothing for Doug to lose his nerve over. Fans get carried away with emotions which is why you had people on here questioning the ownership, signings, MR and his team. It’s often the case that we’re short term Even at our lowest, the xG table had us at 6th and whilst those kind of...

Our away results since PNE (since changing formation): - Millwall, 3-0 win - Ipswich, loss 2-1 - with a missed penalty and conceding a world class goal - Leeds 1-1 draw - Sunderland, 3-0 win - Middlesborough, 3-1 win Our away record is just as good as our home record atm. The reality is that...

Wright is out with an adductor tear and best case he’s out for the next ‘week or two’. With that in mind, I’d stick with the same team that started against Leicester. Potentially starting Simms over Godden. The reason being that I’d expect us to be in possession more against Wednesday so...

Love the shithousery in this post! I’m sure Hackers had plenty to send our way had the result gone Leicester’s way. Enzo’s post match comments would really worry me if I was a Leicester fan. He’s said some things that don’t - Leicester weren’t in control of the first half - Palmer didn’t...

We’ll be Top 6 and it’ll be more comfortable than last season. Over two legs, I’d fancy us against Ipswich, Hull, Sunderland and possibly Watford. However, WBA is a maybe and I wouldn’t make us favourites to beat Southampton or Leeds over two legs. Strangely, over two legs I’d fancy us to beat...

Has anyone considered that COH might just want to play at a higher standard next season? Us offering to pay an extra 10-20k a week isn’t going to make a difference if he can get the same terms at a top flight team in England/Spain. We were just unlucky at the timing of his injury.

Pretty sure COH said he didn’t want to enter contract before during his rehab. If that’s the case, the timing of the injury seems to have done us over here.

Often, it’s the years where the league isn’t competitive that increases the points tally of the top teams, naturally. With it being a competitive field this season, you’d think 70-73 points will be enough for 6th place. We’ve just got to keep the points ticking over now. We’ve had a v...

Thank you, that means a lot. He lived a long life for his breed. He used to jump around like a mad man with me when we scored when I’d be watching the games in the living room!

IIRC, didn’t Better Days say Jones was treated by one of the best surgeons in the country? I would imagine that this time around with COH, the rehab was better, so you’re right. The difference being. COH is coming back and playing whole games whereas Jones was only making bit part appearances...

Didn’t Jodi Jones make around 10-15 appearances before his second ACL? I don’t think we should sell COH at all now, we’ll get terrible value for him and we’re in a better position to get promoted with him than without.

100% agreed. I was baffled with him saying he was proud of his players. In the first half, I genuinely felt Leicester offered very little despite having a stronger team. We had the better of the first half, despite Leicester creating the best 1dt half chance and the penalty. The second half...

What does this club mean to me? Having moved down south recently, it makes me feel more attached to my roots. I joke around the office at work about supporting a ‘shit’ team, but I’m proud of supporting my local team and wouldn’t change it for the world. Today, I nearly missed the game because...

The shit our support has gone through. The depths of getting relegated to L2 to being a penalty shootout away from Premier League football in 5-6 years… For us, it’s been euphoric! Especially because our club is on the up after a long, long time in the doldrums of mediocrity and...

Same here, my brother burst out crying but I’ve come close to welling up over Coventry and England in recent years.

Generally, Leicester killed the game in the first 15-25m of the half. Allen for Eccles was a good tactical decision because Allen gets into spaces and is more direct with his passing than Sheaf and Eccles. We could afford to be more risky in the second half. JDS made an impact too, Bidwell was...
