Vipotnik is running incredibly hot. Screams of a player who reverts to the mean next season after Boro/a parachute payment team splash 15m on him 34 shots but xG of 1.81 suggests you're not very good at creating good chances against low-blocks & take too many pot-shots. A striker doesn't even...

Surprised Soton have got time for this game considering the amount of time they spend writing evidence reports

Blues weren't humble enough to follow the blueprint we'd set. My blues mate told me they'd go toe-to-toe and they're a match for anyone at St. Andrews playing their way. Went well didn't it QPR were just on the beach I think

I'd back you least against Wrexham of those 3 & surprised you've included them in that category. They're low-block merchants away from home and are very good in big games at home If you fail Hackney will end up at a established mid-table prem side - Everton springs to mind

Rudoni vs Hackney is like doing the Lampard vs Gerrard argument. Both top quality but in different ways Rudi was the best midfielder last season but hasn't consistently hit the heights this year. So it's fair to say Hackney is the best midfielder in the league

Two teams who've overperformed this season are Brentford & Sunderland. Both signed an experienced CM who has played at the top of the division (Henderson / Xhaka) but on the decline A signing like that would do us a world of good

Yeah we played them on the Thursday after they'd played on the Tuesday - think they kept calling games off due to covid cases Would love that to happen to Ipswich tbf

I agree with VAR being nonsense but I think teams compare their final season in the Championship which is amazing to the Prem - rather than all the other shite seasons In the 10 seasons before promotion Forest finished 19th, 8th, 11th, 14th, 16th, 21st, 17th, 9th, 7th, 17th. Three top 10...

Trickier than people think this Preston recently drew away at Ipswich and Swansea (who both have great home records) and conceded an injury-time equalizer in both (a dodgy pen at Ipswich of course) Going to be one of those where if we can break down the deep block early we could hammer them...

Online Ipswich fans are making me laugh... saw yesterday one suggesting they should get a 3-0 win against Pompey because it got called off twice & they are struggling to fit it in with the Southampton game also being postponed

JDS & Lati will definitely both go as their sides are in WC playoffs BTA & Wright will definitely go as it’s their final chance to impress before the WC squad I’d want Onyeka to pull out as they’re pointless games& no WC Not sure about EMC - really hope he isn’t called up but he’s better...

TransferMarkt and cross-referencing appearances Most of those are teenagers signed for Brentford B. Similarly, our wikipedia transfers for 25/26 include Oscar Varney & Shay Dunn

People definitely underestimate the gap. It will be interesting to see what Doug does if we get promoted. There are 2 ends of the spectrum that have been successful - Brentford (trust your squad approach) - only signed 3 outfield first-team players & 2 back up keepers in the summer window -...

Calf injuries are up across the game as intensity of games has increased Also been mentions of training being intense - it’s a trade off as it’s got a playoff team top of the league

Think it would suit us for Bristol to win. They'd play 4 games in the next 2 weeks before the re-scheduled fixture and we'd play 2 home games

We bid for Martial Godo in the summer - he has scored 12 in 18 starts for Strasbourg. Apparently has prem teams sniffing around now. Wouldn't surprise me if we tried again if we get promoted

The dodgiest decision of the League Two playoffs was our penalty to make it 1-1 in the first leg. They probably should have won 1-0 which would have changed the dynamic of the second leg. Doesn't matter but surprised it hasn't been mentioned

Rushworth MvE-Thomas-Lati-Dasilva Onyeka-Grimes Saka-Eccles-BTA Wright Think a bit of rotation is needed in a 3 game week, especially EMC - Eccles & BTA bring fresh energy to the press

Blackburn vs Preston tonight. Seems fairly meaningless but: - We want Blackburn to be clear of relegation when we play them (we also want Portsmouth, Wrexham & Watford on the beach - so support them/their opposition accordingly) - We play Preston in 4 games time, so a winless run & out of the...

If we go up and come back down I think he'll be our manager for a few more years. We'd owe him another bite at the cherry with parachute payments and no Prem team would risk going for a relegated manager (see Mckenna at Ipswich or Dyche at Burnley)
