Going to happen at some point isn't it.

I’m not actually all for it but you can see that’s how it’ll go! Then ultimately he’ll prob be a let down!

Agreed. As others have said though about styles making games, if we finish 5th I wouldn't be shocked if 6th place knocked out Sheffield United atm. Be that Bristol, Millwall..

It's the playoffs. Who thought we would see Coventry v Luton at Wembley?

Then add to that everything suddenly going wrong at Sheffield United. Going from 1st to a distant 3rd after 3 defeats on the bounce.

Nothing would please me more than getting them in the play offs and giving them an absolute pasting ideally with a controversial goal just to boil his piss a bit more.

Not many teams/managers I can’t detest but they are both up there, both suit each other.

Bloke is an absolute twat. Never got over the time we played them in League 1 and he made our protest against SISU all about him and his poor old team.

If we make the playoffs, we'll play them or Sheff Utd first. At this point, I'd fancy our chances against Sheff Utd.

Yes I’d rather play Sunderland or whoever is the other playoff finisher in a final than that Sheff U team

We'd stand a better chance against Sunderland than Sheff Utd over two legs.

Anything can then happen at Wembley.

Hate is a strong word, but your posts about him always seem to have a bitter twinge to them. To be fair I'm not sure I would sign him if we got promoted either, but that would depend on what alternatives are available.

We'd probably have to pay around £20-25m, and there'd inevitably be cheaper and better alternatives available. He clearly doesn't have the discipline to be a PL footballer otherwise he wouldn't be back playing in the Championship now.

It's the 'top 6 Championship' claim about their current squad that amuses me. Peterborough genuinely have some individuals with a lot more potential. That Stansfield is also a dislikeable little rag.

Yeh the whole thing is just embarrassing. Stansfield needs to get snapped in half by someone.

Yeah. Will be interesting to see how he handles himself in the Championship. He will definitely try and play the hard man at The Trillion ( or whatever their ground is now called) Think he'll get an unhelpful reputation for himself from what I've seen of him this season ( he acted like a tawt against Newcastle in the cup, against Posh today, and I've seen him do similar in other games) One to keep an eye on next season.

He was one of their better players when they went down, but not a standout player for the league overall.

Gus was Sheff U player of the year in the PL. He was brilliant against us in both games and arguably the difference between the two sides.
I was surprised that he was not snapped up by a lower PL side, until someone pointed out it was due to lifestyle issues.
As previously said when fully fit, he is better than any of our midfielders including Rudi at the moment.

One thing is for sure.

Nobody will want to play us in the playoffs.

(Obviously Preston, but they’re not in it)

He is probably tied with Ao Tanaka for the best centre mid in the division. Unlike him though, Tanaka has superb work ethic and fitness levels and will be in high demand if Leeds somehow screwed up.

For me, it is his vision, coupled with his technique. Give him another player's body, and he'd be at a top end PL team.

If he had the physique of an Adam Wharton, I think his technique and vision are exceptional, but hey ho...opinions.
Few players are what (not sure what you mean)?? (able to play for a top end PL team?)

It’s more to do with his own lack of discipline than his body shape.

Few players are good and complete enough to play for elite PL clubs. Even if Hamer had the physique, he’s not going to be peak De Bruyne.

Top half-mid table yes

Agree - he needn't be the shape he is, but if he were in peak physical condition, he could play at the highest level imo.

He could play for a midtable PL side, I think. It’s a shame that he’ll never reach his potential.

Not sure if this has been mentioned on here but Bristol City’s first choice keeper is out for the rest of the season and their fans have no confidence in any of his potential replacements.
