    I didn't get the chance to unfortunately, working away and the bills won't pay themselves. My brother went with his daughter mind, came in handy him living in Wolves now (you can imagine the Rov Edwards stick🤣) though he could only get tickets in the home end. They had colours covered up though...

    That's reasonable enough. There's plenty of them to choose from though, so I'd like to think I don't take away from that. Some would probably think it "strange" that I'm on another team's board, which I also get as they'd have no wish to do the same. Tbh, I enjoy reading perspectives from...

    I've re read my last post as requested. I suggest you do the same as to give you at least one bit of credit I did indeed say we had the best midfield in the league, which I stand by tbh. Not once did I say we had the best defence in the league, just that it was "very decent". Which it normally...

    No, that's the meaning you're choosing to take from it, there's a difference. Did you play the long ball game last night to bypass the midfield where possible? Yes. Did you utilise the height of some of your players against ours and their physicality? Yes. To deny either would be ridiculous...

    It's not taking anything away from you though. Hoodoos can be maintained by a variety of reasons, one team overperforms, the other underperforms, various injuries, the ref, the bounce of the ball, etc etc. It is only when they go on for a period of time beyond the normal boundaries of...

    It's not a back-handed compliment at all "about your style" as your style for the first half of the season was very different. It's just finding different ways to play, which you needed to do and did so.

    Thanks mate. Know what you mean, I don't want to rule Hull & Millwall out of it either, for right there is a potential path to pain!🤪 But I do feel that Ipswich will finish above them, so therefore if Hull or Millwall somehow managed the not easy task of overhauling either of us, I think...

    He won't get a full season with pre-season etc until next one obviously, whatever league we're in. I take your point about judging him over a full season mind as Carrick was brilliant for us for half a season (though in his defence he did have the mother of injury lists for a few years) and he...

    As you say midfield is our strongest area, it dominates the league so Lampard did well to employ a succession of long punts from your half to a big lad, bypassing it. We're actually very decent in defence too, but I feel it was was the wrong game to play Ayling in. He's 34 and has played every...

    As predicted at the bottom of my post. We're more likely to turn over Man City and Arsenal in a Prem encounter than get anything against you. I know you say "at least" but you won't get more than 6 points from your 2 matches against us mind.🤣

    It was my suspicion of what would happen this season. The top 3 sides all cancel each other out. The championship has a funny way of doing that. Anyway, I'm off to Fmttm to cheer a few of the more short-sighted knee-jerkers of our lot up who can't see the bigger picture. Enjoy tonight

    My eyes are dry mate. Feel like I've been through the mill, but self-preservation and all that. An emotional night for sure, but like I say we write off results against you to lessen the impact which helps. That's why a Hoodoo is to be respected, it would kill you otherwise🤪 Besides we're...

    Congratulations Cov. You figured out a way to overcome us; long accurate balls take the midfield out of the equation and we're a little short of big lads, so you used physicality well. Throw in the Hoodoo magic as well and I'm not overly surprised. My both teams to score prediction was right...

    Right, I'm naturally on Fmttm while enjoying the match. Good luck after today at least, if we win I'll probably stay off here for a few days (there's an unexpected bonus for you at least!) if you win then I'll pop on no doubt to reaffirm the Hoodoo that was overlooked by many, if it's a draw...

    Logically it was for you. It was part of a 3 game mini-season where you had to triumph in at least 2 games to get direct promotion. With this game, you get 14 games after it, all of which may well play a part.

    Yes, that Carrick. Possibly he's learned from his mistakes, but when at Boro he had in the main ONE style that he didn't deviate from. Until someone came up with a way to combat that style (and to be fair to Carrick when the injury list got ridiculous and stayed ridiculous for the majority of...

    Preston I'll give you, that's pure sorcery right there. Stone cold Hoodoo.😬 With Norwich, you'd have to look at how many times you faced them and also how many games were draws and how many losses. It could well qualify as a bonefide Hoodoo mind. With you being ours, it may only go back 6...

    However good we play tonight we're hardly going to be prime Barca🤣 There's a mixed feeling amongst us tbh. We're generally confident in our squad's abilities and the methods of Hellball, but we can't predict A) What version of yourselves will turn up and B) What the Hoodoo has in store? As...

    Those that booked after the Oxford game

    Neither team will go for that, though it wouldn't be that bad an outcome at all in the grand scheme of things.
