We were tbh, especially as the second half wore on. Our best pkayer amd top scorer both knackered, and most of our decent midfield and forward line were away on international duties, especially the likes of Morris, who was playing for the USA 59 hours before this game and McGree on the other...

It'll need to be 25M, otherwise he'll be off to one of the others. Like I say, it's devastating for us whoever he goes to. Hopefully, Rogers gets sold for the 100M Villa are wanting too as that will dump nearly another 13M our way. You'd think 30M from that could buy us the forward power we...

If we were the best footballing team in the entire 92 it wouldn't matter. You don't get anywhere being a great footballing team. You get everywhere just being brilliant in both boxes, which sadly we aren't as this season shows all too well.

I suspect he'll be off to Man U or Palace, though tbf that's just as bitter a pill to swallow for us whoever he went to.😪 The only way it's worthwhile is if we spend about 8M of the fee on his replacement and 15M on a striker who can just hit the onion bag.

This happens too, of course. Though he's not doing too badly for a bloke of 37 when he joined, who didn't have a playing career of note (about 8 appearances for the senior side of a Swedish 3rd tier side), to go straight into the middle of a season in England in which he's never played or...

To you yes, of course it will be. What is a club doing the double over you when you win the league and get another 200M in the pot? To them though it will be different.

It's not to them though, due to the head to heads. They would probably say something along the lines of that "Champions? They weren't much cop to me, defence like butter," based entirely off their two games with you and conveniently overlooking the entire rest of your season. Illogical yes, but...

Like I said though head to heads always seem to matter the most, the example of Sunderland being in a league above us during our pisstaking of them being a good example.

Because they've beaten you in every encounter. For some reason head to heads matter more to the fan taking the piss than any league standing? Illogical perhaps as it's a much smaller set of results, but perhaps it has to do with the fact that those are the games that they'll have watched the...

That's natural. To take the piss out of a team you'd have to have beaten them in all recent encounters as otherwise there would always be the chance of that jibe coming back at you. We'd therefore expect the same from Bristol City. Boro fit that example for Cov. Expect Ipswich to therefore take...

Oh they've certainly got a decent squad and they're on a great run right now. At the moment, it's hard to see them not doing such well. But their fixtures are a little more cramped and 3 of their 7 fixtures are also against sides in the top 6 and autos fight. I was also curious (given those 3...

Yet we've done the double over Southampton, (agg score 5-1) and are thus far beating Ipswich 2-1. Your prediction of course could be right, anything is possible. But it would be fractionally down to beating you at the CBS, that's just a small part of their points totals. Neither are Norwich...

Or to put it another way, I think if just the one of us 3 gets 4 points from the fixtures between us, that side is in the driving seat. If 2 get 4 points or none of us get 4 points from those games (ie all draws) then it is much more open. But yeah, if we manage to beat Millwall the confidence...

Nice tweaked quote from a Boro lad there, one of Old Big 'Ead's finest.👍🤣 But yeah, 11 points putting you on 91 guarantees you promotion mathematically from this point. Millwall can get 90 max, so it rules them out full stop. As others have said we have to play Ipswich. Therefore the possible...

xG over a period of time generally proves what the rest of the team are doing before it gets to the strikers to put them in those goalscoring positions, nothing more. If a side greatly exceeds their xG, it often means the rest of the side are mediocre, but their strikers are the dogs'bollocks...

I think you've got the wrong end of the stick. Fair play, you can understand the frustration at least, our own forum at the mo is kind of like on here just before you played us last. But I'm chilled and there's no argument going on between myself and the Tractors' lad whatsoever. I'm frustrated...

Correct, we're like you on steroids, in all cases. Playing fucking awesomely across the park,, seriously there's no better team to watch in the league for our play in 80% of the pitch, but as soon as it gets in the opponents box (which happens regularly) our strikers close in with all the verve...

Going on our respective team's performances recently, it would be impossible to be to the death mind. It would end up in an inevitable draw as we both seem fond of them of late.

The law of averages alone point to it. If they continue to get missed much more, then it's time to bring on Cruz Ibeh IMHO, a local kid from our youth side now getting on the bench, such has been his impact on the kids' team, then tearing it up in the under 21s. If he manages to score them and...

The usual of late. Here's the over-riding thought on this game, summed up neatly in the half time stats; Over twice as much possession. Six times as many corners. Seven times as many shots. Ten times as many touches in their box. TWENTY ONE times the xG. Still Nil fucking Nil. All...
