  1. Probably the best result this season. Outstanding tactics from "Professor" Lowe. I really liked the way he connected with his bench rather than sit in the boss's chair Gueye has shown his potential. The heatmap doesn't lie, he was everywhere, and his finishing was immaculate. Players played their hearts out and our fans were magnificent. The result was crucial for us in the race for the playoffs oh and we stuffed: Mowbray Armstrong Eustace West Brom home form Arte et Labore 👊👊
  2. Probably got more brains than our last three managers combined
  3. Classy of Travis to shake the hands of all the mascots as well as opponents. He will get his reward tonight.
  4. Would we be kind of deflated if it all fell through? Are we in the mindset of “The King is dead. Long live the King.”
  5. Love this. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1BAPRJuesK/?mibextid=wwXIfr
  6. Any hard nut will do for the rest of the season. The beatings will continue until we get promoted with 13 out of contract. Sammie is quoted as saying that JDT was better on strategy and Eustace on man management. Both useless strategies for this moment. A good seasoned no no sense get it done tough git is needed to stop everyone wondering where their next gig will be next season and get us in the play offs Warnock will do nicely 😉

  8. We probably have Paul Warne waiting in the wings. Cheap simple option and grateful for the money. 😯 Whatever our situation we are still in around the play off positions. Any manager with ambition would grab the opportunity of a "new manager bounce"to get us into the playoffs. We are not relegation fodder. Then it is a lottery. Hey, if by some miracle we grab the third position, signing 13 players would not be a problem 🪄🧞‍♂️
  9. Why should Eustace leave? Long term contract at Derby so even if they go down he can rebuild. Affinity to the club he played for. Family lives in the area. Good sign on bonus and salary and a big bonus if he keep them up. Doesn't have to deal with the tombola that is 13 players out of contract end season, and the uncertainty of extra funds, or even the club going tits up if rhe court case is lost. Backing of a local English owner worth 350 million and who loves his club and saved it Familiar ring to it?
  10. Interesting discussion on ESPN plus. Before the game there was talk about the quadruple. Liverpool should be tonking Plymouth with their second string. Why is it an either or these days with much bigger squads in the Premier League? Don't fancy some of the replacements if Liverpool suffer injuries Our Harvey gave away a penalty.
  11. Good summary. Maybe it is is the freshly pressed dark roasted Aeropress coffee early in the morning, but there was a lot to be positive about with that performance. Left side looks very good and will skin a few Championship defences. Dennis will be a handful when he is fit. Gueye continues to be a nuisance The obvious weaknesses didn't disappear and we all know them. The only way a goalkeeper improves is regular games. You can miss a few tackles and get away with staying out of the spotlight. ( take a bow Mr Cantwell) but there is no hiding place for a goalkeeper. Hopefully there is a goalkeeper in there somewhere but we will never know from cameo appearances. Remember that goalie who Mowbray shipped out because he and othere on this forum didn't rate him Hey ho, off to chip the ice off the path in 18F weather
  12. Strong as your weakest link. Shame. The left side is very promising. If JRC rolls the ball in the middle thats a goal.
  13. Fantastic job. Please know that our ability to piss and moan on a frictionless and seamless platform is a testament to your dedication. @StubbsUK
  14. I agree. If/when we get to the Premier League then we would need replacements for most of the out of contract players anyway. The court case will also have a bearing. Chances are all three promoted clubs will come back down again this year It is a brutal step up which requires a vigorous spin of the dice and a hastily arranged squad to hang on for dear life in the first season promoted. So perhaps Prem or bust is a strategy of sorts. If we dont make Eustace will probably be off and a new manager will want to rebuild anyway. And if rhe court case goes south, all bets are off.
  15. Hope a few of these signings can Turner few heads, and brush off the tackles.
  16. Gueye was a gamble, Yuki was a gamble. In JE we trust to get the best out of these players. Travis was written off, Brittain and Batth are playing out of of their skin. The only JE magic dust that hasnt worked so far is Siggy.
  17. Woo Hoo!! "Nathan Jones, you've been gone too long."
  18. Amazing how much Ipswich have relied on Walton. They have signed the West Brom goalie, as big money Muric drops more than Pears.
  19. Apparently the Hibs bloke we are looking at has an injured toe. Hate to be defeetist 😉 https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hibs/honest-and-up-front-hibs-boss-delicate-youan-situation-blackburn-circle-star-4970184
  20. Maybe Barth could drop O'Brien a line and tell him that he is playing his best football ever in a playoff team and don't worry about all the previous bollocks. Barth and Hyam are immense and consistent. It also mean the full backs can push up. I also like the idea of booting the ball up to Big Mak. He did so well today. Beats the hell out of playing out from the back and losing the ball in our penalty area.
  21. I fear an "off the wall "signing late in the day but someones "got to be there" to work the fax machine.
  22. And Balajai holding the reins as they do a lap of honor. 🏇
  23. "It's important we stick together and keep playing like that and when we get a few more players back from injury and hopefully we can bring two or three good quality players into the group as well things will change." That would be nice if not a miracle
