On paper it's all set for an absolute stinker of a game. Given the apparent unpredictability of football at the moment there's always chance of a 3-3 draw though 🙄 A draw is the best we can hope for I suppose as we quietly slide out of the league.

We've heard quite frequently from Eustace that he's had no time on the training pitch with the players, that excuse is out the window now and we must see the results of the time he HAS had. Brum had plenty of success with set pieces, I'd like to think we see some improvements in this area. When you're not exactly banging goals in for fun, it's critical set pieces are utilised. Hard to predict a result but guessing he'd be happy with another draw so 1-1 😕

You're saying that, but there's folk in this country who own sunbed shops, car washes and vape shops who are driving round in very expensive cars, it isn't purely down to the success of said establishments. There's quite often more to it than meets the eye....

I suppose on paper it's a decent point, but we need more than just decent points/draws. We're going to have to take more risks and potentially get tubbed a few times somewhere along the way with a few wins scattered in there.

Eh? It's finished and he scored.

Has anyone seen much of Leo Duru? Another 2 assists and a goal tonight, impressive return for a wing back.

If you look at the October-December details last time, you'd imagine Jan-March is similar, so a fair chunk of the Wharton cash would be swallowed up. Those agent fees are enough to knock you sick.

You said its not possible to make thousands on markets such as next manager bets, it is and people have. That's all I was responding to, because it's factually incorrect.

100% win record when I go to Boro, unfortunately working at weekend though 🥲 Gallagher for some weird reason always scores against them too, he was brilliant there last time I went. That's about as positive as I can be, they seem to have turned a corner after Plymouth beat them at home. Part of me is relieved I'm working, it's sad it's come to this.

Not in the mood for you chaddy so ill leave you to shit rainbows and turd polish all day.

I wouldn't have thought so given he wasn't there 🤣

In the picture I got sent Szmodics, Pickering, JRC and Buckley.

The stupid thing is, you don't NEED pace to be a decent centre half, obviously it helps like. You adjust your game accordingly and your manager doesn't try and play high. He did, it cost us multiple times, he didn't adjust and it ultimately led to a red card. Absolute basics done wrong.

At this point it might even be better to get relegated for the sake of sales, at least folk might get to see a few wins! IF we somehow manage to stay up it'd be a Rotherham-esque shit show with no Szmodics next season, not really gonna set pulses racing.

It's pretty obvious looking at the stands, and from what mates have told me, that even the season ticket holders are binning it off. Just watched the 'highlights' and its frightening how empty the bburn end is. We'll sell around 2k season tickets next season

If true? Like I'm going to make it up

He isn't there as far as I know.

My son who's there and sent me the pictures?

It's pretty much the final straw for me this, the set of pricks.

Seems a fair few of the team are on the piss in Manchester, including some who claim to be injured. We're royally having the piss taken our of us

Fucking pathetic. Well that's it folks, almost confirmed we're not in this league now next season. The twat is going to tell us its a great result with 10 men now. A red card that was on the cards after the first 6 or 7 times Hardie got in behind. Amateur defending at best.

You can make thousands if you're well informed, when Souness went to Newcastle I know a fair few who cleaned up.

I can only assume the "not a must win" comment was his weird attempt to deflect some pressure from his players, the poor little lambs. If not, he's obviously a bit simple. Ironically what he's done is potentially made things worse, go 1 down here and the fans will turn. Obviously it won't be a cauldron of hate, its Ewood, but he will have added to it. Plymouths form maybe look bad on paper but look at the teams they've faced. They've picked up decent away wins this season and I fully expect another today.

Eustace has already pissed most of the fans off without a ball being kicked. Not a must win my backside, get a sense of urgency ffs we're sleepwalking into league 1, although not sure I'm even arsed anymore. With Wally in the nets I'll never be confident of a win. Pears illness/injury is ridiculous, sounds like he maybe just can't be arsed.

Pears was only ill wasn't he? Surely he will play. Honestly no idea why a keeper can't play anyway if feeling a bit unwell.
