"Across the last 10 years, the highest points tally that saw a team relegated was a tally of 51 accrued by Blackburn Rovers in 2016. Rovers sunk to League One on goal difference, behind Nottingham Forest, achieving a -12 goal difference compared to Forest's -10. The 50-point mark usually guarantees you survival in the Championship, but that season was the exception. Charlton were also unlucky to be relegated with 48 points in 2020."

The EFL has urged the FA to "re-evaluate their approach", stating there was "no agreement" prior to the deal being announced and no "formal consultation".

Spot on. We need a win The club needs a win The team and squad needs a win And by golly JE needs a win A win is the only thing us lot should expect

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68708898 Can't believe one of our legends will be working with them lot now

Wow Look what these lot have done to our attendance. Walker would be devastated

Great interview in LT He is showing what he wants Upto the club to match his ambition

If we survive this season our CEO will see this as a very successful season..may even treat the players to a new signing bus repaint of the bus

Wonder if, as points by others, us allowing away fans to bring their 1000s, doesn't really give us a home advantage?7000 sheff weds fans, Vs 12-13000 home fans? Not a huge difference especially if they are getting behind their team

Crazy to think arsenal Bayern and arsenal only take 3700 fans to Germany. Sheff bring 7000 to Lancashire!

I love the optimism folks. Let's get survival sorted first then see what crap they dish up. More 20% savings and sell Sammie with no reinvestment? Please prove me wrong

Yeh agreed.

So true. With the importance of these games SURELY the club should go everything they can to encourage as many fans to attend. They are crazy. 12,000 fans paying £30 or 25,000 paying even £15 would bring in more revenue and the players would be buzzing with a large crowd. Stupid decisions at our club unfortunately. £30 a ticket is crazy in this climate when we are so close to the end of the season and need a win. Fans would help the team on match day. Shame that fans aren't respected by the club.

Clean sheets are the key too

The coach has the luxury of a full week to prepare. We've done better when playing with time to prepare under his stewardship so hopefully we get the3 on Saturday.

Yeh totally. See my post in the Eustace thread. Aside from Bristol -which was down to many individual mistakes (he should have dropped hyam at half time though) He's definitely made headway since international break and overall he is getting us to the promised 50points. Fantastic result yesterday. I think the travelling fans made a huge impact too and helped the team. The win is great for our teams confidence
