Has anyone been to Leicester. Struggling to make sense of the 5 mins drive from the station being a 45 minutes walk

Somewhere in Pune someone has just found it you can swap players directly for chicken feed - and now the game is on!

Sheff Weds have '4 or 5' concrete offers and expect new owners by January according to BBC.

To me the much more interesting football manager trivia is that we are Antoine Griezmann's favourite football manager team. Wonder if he fancies a loan in Jan!

I think he joined a french team (Reims maybe) as assistant then caretaker without having the qualifications. They didn't lose for about 10 on the bounce so they kept paying the fine. He's joked about playing football manager growing up but unsure if he is that 'data-y' - he might just be ginger without being a nerd

Vatican Wanderers? Id be skeptical joining their youth team

7.7 rating today for Riordan at Doncaster. Averaging a 7.0 rating. If I was him I'd be looking at this formation and depth and being straight on the blower January 1st

Toth very good, as was McLoughlin. As much as Armstrong could've had two, so could the Japanese duo

We've established we can't score if we try and shoot, maybe crossing is the future

Get the loan manager on for Ohashi

Huge save from Toth. De Neve had no idea where AA was

Uh oh

That's the xG I've been on about

Going to have a beer and see if it's anymore enjoyable in the 2nd half

Ohashi continues his trend of having the shit kicked out of him and nothing coming of it. He's got to toughen up, I mean bleeding profusely from his head? Soft arse

Morashita showing some footballing brain which has been rare this year, by drilling a low cross into Ohashi rather than the floaty shite we normally do

It's been run through a few times but that bench is shocking. If you looked at careers Morashita looks the better pick to Henriksson, but Henriksson feels like he's starting to get up to speed so feels a shame

I did warn you to say I was being hyper optimistic The more realistic view to take is that much like the crap upfront, the rest of the team who create chances will tail off as the season draws on and the depth reduces

Don't like Rudy, Pasha, Venkys and to a much lesser extent haven't taken a warming to Val. This post is purely club focussed with a view to trying to be optimistic. Data is on the interpreter and as mentioned I am leading with optimism that we hopefully won't go down. High barrier. The 'xG' suggests we should be 7th. Im admittedly a stat guy, but I'd suggest this matches what I've seen so far this season. For 50 minutes, we are competitive as anyone. We miss chances. We lack depth. The only way I see us staying up is if we start taking some of those chances, and our rag tag group of bench wild cards intermittently step up. He's not got a clean plan B, his previous clubs suggest he never has. But if we can start converting 1 of the 2 or 3 chances we seem to get before the hour mark and throw in a plan B to see games out then we have half a chance of not going down.

Two points on Wednesday. Apparently Chansiri net worth was 500m in 2020. 1/4 of Venkys purported worth. I know they're up to their eyeballs in debt but I think that's due to the petulant way he's reacted to protests - happy to be corrected wrong. Secondly, very early days, but post administration and giving it 5 years - it'll be interesting to see who's in a better position

Us, Sheff Utd and Southampton are bottom three for underperforming our 'xG' Mid week saw Sheff Utd potentially start turning their fortune around - unfortunately we were the dummies on the other end. What happens Saturday..

What do we want Venkys out When do we want it After 25,000 of us have paid them £30 to shout this

Someone good at correlation and causation. What happens in the 55th minute that means we become weaker, and why?

My point is if he finds more composure, and meets the level, he can get 10 assists there about Your disagreeing point, is if he was more composed he'd have 3 assists tonight. Which is a third of the way there with more than a 2/3rds of the season to go Hence why I am unclear on the disagreement

Unsure if you're agreeing or disagreeing
