... Can we close the thread now?

If Jobello and/or Hilßner can get match fit, that might become a lot more viable.

If we start with ‘the box’ again, I’d start him there.

He’s out for 2-3 months apparently. Injuries have been kind to us...

They really should’ve scored that absolute sitter, equally, our chance bounced fortunately for their defender. Too many fans demand too much. We’re 6 points above the relegation zone and im happy with that.

We nearly won the game in the second half... Against a struggling team above us in the table, and with similar form to ourselves. Before our unbeaten run, we had the most charitable defence in league and it wasn’t sustainable. Thankfully, we’ve addressed that.

I think we’ll end up drawing this game. We have too many unavailable players. A win would be huge.

We picked up another point and kept up some momentum. That is only a good thing. We battling with injuries to key players and we’re unbeaten in 8 games and building a decent cushion from the relegation zone in the process. As we seen with last season, our fan base as a whole is paranoid that...

There we go, we don't have to accept their demands, just as they don't have to accept ours - hence, we're on the precipice of leaving without a deal. That doesn't detract that it's in everyone's best interest to agree a deal, but both sides have to agree something they believe to be mutually...

That’s a very woolly comment. What is the best agreement that keeps the ‘many’ happiest? In 2016, they wanted out of the EU, for a period of time, ‘no deal’ was the most popular outcome from polls. Was ‘no deal’ the best deal then? I don’t want us to leave without a deal on the 1st Jan...

The UK argument is that they want a deal similar to Canada, with 0-tariffs and 0-quotas. The EU rebuttal is that because they trade with the UK more than Canada, they want more market alignment from Britain than it does from Canada. The EU has a point. Similarly, from a UK perspective, it’s...

I’m no Brexiteer. But, the EU has a vested interest in being obstructionist because if Brexit goes well, it strengthens Euroscepticism on the continent. The EU obviously wants to maintain the integrity of its single market and customs union so will make demands of UK alignment to the EU...

I’ve learnt something new today! I got Maldini mixed up with Cannavaro and thought Cafu may have won it after 2002. Only 3 defenders have won the Ballon d’or, and I’ve never heard of him.

Xavi has never won a ballon d’or? Everyone else in that team has won one, right?

Personally, I agree that weighed PPG was the fairest way to do it - a part of me thinks the EFL went unweighted for spite Peterborough a bit. But that’s irrelevant. If you don’t like Wycombe or Ainsworth, you don’t have a heart. They are shithouses, but they’re a plucky club who’s fans were...

Definite contracts for McFadz and Kelly. As for Biamou and Baka, we’ve got the luxury of time to see if they can prove their worth for more seasons. Biamou looks more likely to secure a new deal so far.

On the PPG they finished 3rd, and whichever way you look at it, they were punching above their weight being a playoff team as they went into the season with the expectation of survival, not promotion! They beat the in form teams to get promoted so they well and truly earned the right to play in...

Agree on that one. The box just hasn’t worked out this season. Personally, I think next time we thinking about playing that system, we try a more out an out 3-4-3 with either Giles or Jobello to give us more of a threat.

We’re being more direct because we have midfielders who can pick up the second ball. There were times, particularly when we were doing badly, where we tried to retain possession in our own third and at times it invited pressure onto ourselves. Robins is pragmatic, we’ve gone a bit more direct...

I don’t think anyone said they reinvested every single penny so, politely, it’s being pedantic for being the sake of it. Most clubs, barring the elites, have to constantly battle against costs spiralling out of control and selling players is a means to an end of paying their bills.
