The League 2 solution makes total sense and makes sense to apply that logic to League 1 too. With a playoff tournament, the top 6 sides have no complaint there. Whilst Rotherham have been on a downturn of form before the lockdown, you can’t reasonably argue against them getting promoted on a...

This time last year, would 100% want him to stay. After one year of not playing, and the stories around his attitude and lack of team spirit, I’d 100% avoid. It’s a shame because he has more than enough talent to compete, but our success is built on a strong team ethic and commitment to the...

PPG seems to be the most likely outcome, and it’s probably the most fair solution out there. We’re not going to finish 10 games and then the playoffs. The issue of the third promotion spot is interesting. Personally, my favoured solution would be a shortened playoff tournament, behind closed...

It was entirely by choice I chose Coventry City as my team. Didn’t know my dad, so no influence there. My mum doesn’t care about any sports. The only influence really was my grandad, hailing from Belfast and a primarily golfer, a ‘soft’ Coventry (only really going to games in the 60s or 70s)...

With so much of the season played, the most common sense solution would be to end the season with current points totals with teams promoted/relegated based off of that. It's not ideal, but a lot fairer than just nulling and voiding the season as if it never happened. Most of the games have been...

The fairest thing to do if this escalated is to postpone the season until the authorities have got this under control. If this action has been taken, and it’s still deemed unsafe to play the games, they should end the season as it is. Voiding the table shouldn’t be an option, it’s unfair to...

The more that comes out from CCC and Wasps, the more corrupt they seem. Maybe SISU aren’t the boogie man we once thought.

Players often think they’re better than they are, and goaded into big, one time moves to Premiership clubs. When these players get there, they become disposable in a ‘sink or swim’ environment. Whereas before they’re in an environment where their development has been prioritised at their club...

He’d fit in well. Last season, he was one of the best L1 defenders and is currently playing in the 2nd best defence in the league. He’s a good defender. The direct comparison is with McFadzean. He offers something different, he’s a lot more dominant in defence and has greater leadership...

What good is it getting a 2-3yr pay day when your career splutters to a halt at 26. Footballers at that age with that potential (perceived or actual) probably don’t plan to be out of the football league by 25-26. In US sports, the adage is that your second pro contract ‘sets you life’.

For me, momentum is probably with Fleetwood at the moment. Their February was outstanding, and clearly a side that doesn’t lose many games. Rotherham look like they could mess this up, with some sloppy results. That probably benefits us. If we can take advantage and build on the 7 point gap, we...

The teams that blitz teams, like Sunderland, Peterborough and Oxford have found themselves struggling in some games. Peterborough’s record when conceding the first goal is really bad, whilst Sunderland have just lost against Bristol Rovers - what should’ve been 3pts all day. We’re consistent...

We’ve earned the right to not worry about other results because if we win, we cannot drop a place regardless of the other outcomes around us. The team just needs to keep working hard to keep that privilege.

Joey Barton actually deserves it more than anyone for February. Wins against Pompey, Peterborough, Wycombe (with 10 men), Wimbledon, Doncaster and denied a win v Sunderland. Our form was great too, but fair play to Barton and Fleetwood. They are in contention for automatic promotion.

We’re lucky to start pulling away from a crowded field. Some fantastic results going in our favour. You make your own luck and we’ve done so by beating Wycombe, Pompey, Sunderland, Ipswich, avoiding defeats to Rotherham and Fleetwood. Just one defeat since October is a huge achievement.

Robins was pretty clear that we were looking to add to the squad at the time whilst also saying the aim for this season was promotion. So, the thread’s premise is pretty stupid to begin with. This is before a ball had been kicked too.

That’s why it’s advisable to wait until the transfer window is over.

Just to confirm, all the sporting events in Italy have been suspended. The French league is to be played behind closed doors or in front of 1,000 spectators. Is the latest I’ve read on my commute.

Do our games qualify as ‘large gatherings?’ I’m under the impression that events with 10,000+ people classified as a ‘large gathering’ - read that somewhere, but I’m not 100% sure. I don’t think Serie B or Serie C has been suspended yet. At a guess, any similar suspensions in England may only...

Some absolute gems on here. This thread didn’t age well.
