  1. Best league finish since relegation and the closest we've come to Wembley in the FA Cup both last season.....so not a clue what Wharton is banging on about, it's worth noting some of his mistakes at the end of season could be good reason as to why we didn't make the playoffs in the end. As others have said, it's loser talk, laying blame at someone no longer around.
  2. Yeah, providing all are fit, there is about 6 or 7 of the 23 spots up for grabs, 16 nailed on if fit. 3rd choice keeper who will get 0 minutes 2 x CBs who will get 0 minutes (Branthwaite, Colwill, Guehi, Konsa, Gomez, Tomori, maybe Chilwell) 1 x CM between Gallagher and Henderson 3 x Attacker who may get a handful of minutes in final group match (Watkins, Toney, Bowen, Gordon, Palmer, Grealish) Pickford, Ramsdale, GK3 Walker, Trent, Shaw, Trippier, Maguire, Stones, CB1, CB2 Rice, Mainoo, Bellingham, Maddison, CM1 Kane, Saka, Foden, Rashford FW1, FW2, FW3 Maybe he opts for another Defender or Midfielder instead of the final Attacker, given Trent will be CM or nothing. Agree with the 11 (or 9) you listed too, providing all are fit, slow in Shaw LB and Trent alongside Rice and we have no excuses to not win the whole thing
  3. Millwall OR Plymouth. I honestly think if we were sat on 44 points now instead by winning either of those matches (with either Millwall on 42 or Plymouth on 40) we'd be pretty much feeling safe and thinking 1 or 2 results would do it from 8 matches.
  4. Ipswich are actually odds against, which suggest they have less than 50% chance of winning, and there is greater than 50% chance of Rovers picking up at least 1 point (if you're willing to believe early prices are correct) We should be going into this demanding and expecting a point(s) return, anything less is a disappointment. They're not huge favourites.
  5. I think 2 wins does it for us on 48 points. There are only 8 games left. 2 wins for us means 2 of Wednesday, Birmingham and Huddersfield need 10+ points thanks to our GD, so they can only lose 4 max out of their 8. It’ll be difficult for 2 of them to perform to that level and also QPR, Stoke, Plymouth all picking up more than us. Beat Sheffield Wednesday + 1 other and we’ll be safe, preferably sooner rather than later.
  6. I wasn’t sure which thread to post this in, but it caught my eye and it’s something everyone here has probably assumed over time, and now with evidence to show it as fact (that we are horrendous at set pieces). Set Piece GA vs GF with colour coded dot based on position in the league Weren’t we advertising a ‘set-piece coach’ at one point? I assume nothing came of it, but whoever is in charge of this specialist area is grossly underachieving, as have our players throughout the season.
  7. Skin of our teeth at the end with Jones hitting the bar and someone air shotting an open net. But otherwise, 2nd half in particular, the best we’ve looked under Eustace, and I’d imagine due to the 4 at the back, allowing us to do more in the middle. Also great to have Tronstad and Hedges (for composure and effort) back. Pickering exposed a bit, but usually is when up against pace and Sigurdsson is like playing with 10 men. Looks every bit a footballer until the ball is at his feet. Can’t fault the effort, results go our way too and that late Boro chance might finally be the rub going our way. Big shout to the away too, who you could hear all match.
  8. Red card for Huddersfield now (Sorba Thomas no less) A Rovers and Rotherham goal would be the icing on the cake.
  9. Boro are giving us plenty of space and possession. We look fairly in control this 2nd half. Great work rate on two occasions from Gallagher and Szmodics.
  10. Stoke and Wednesday losing. Our saving grace might be not being the worst of a bunch
  11. In the McFadz argument - I’m in the camp that he’s okay, I’ve not seen enough to form a strong judgement either side. But I will take him every day and twice on a Saturday at 3pm over Dom Hyam. He is just too weak, too quiet, too slow and too soft for a relegation battle.
  12. Frustratingly if we had won just one of either Millwall or Plymouth we’d be sat in 15th, with 6 teams between us and the drop and 5 points clear with a better goal difference and 9 games to go.
  13. Well we’re now 3rd favourites for relegation behind Rotherham (no odds offered anymore) and Sheffield Wednesday. It seems everyone else is clocking on to our downfall too now
  14. This was my favourite. You’re a WUM point blank. Saying JDT was as manipulative as Kean. Open your eyes.
