These games should be a real challenge for our young players. The EFL trophy might be an option for our u21s but seeing the results against teams from L1 it's a big step up for even the best academies.

Wasn't Sean Dyche particularly proud of the fact that we had so few injuries at one point? In both relegation seasons when he was manager injuries to key players definitely didn't help. Under VK it struck me that we had more injuries than before but that might just be because we had a bigger squad. ...

Made 7 starts last season (3 for Hoffenheim and 4 for Stuttgart) He scored 3 and assisted 3. 6 goal contributions in 7 starts , subbed on 9 times for Hoffenheim and 11 times for Stuttgart. He played a grand total of 800 minutes, which is just over 9 games. 6 goal contributions in 9 games would sugg...

Could it be possible that they're thinking of adding another corner stand? You wouldn't get many seats in there but you could get a decent sized hospitality lounge. I've been thinking about this since I posted that. Looking at Googlemaps I can't see any space behind the stand on the Burnley FC side...

I hate it when people use initials to talk about players. I don't know if you're talking about Jayden Banel, Jordan Beyer or Joe Bauress!

Probably the most successful of all the lads we've had out on loan since Adam Phillips. I don't suppose there'll be many 22 year olds who scored double figures last season who you can pick up for 350k. Good luck to the lad, I wouldn't be surprised to see him scoring 15-20 for Wigan next season.

At the bottom of the Training Ground Guru article it says we're 54th from 97 in a ranking of academies. Does anyone know what that's based on?

Recent science has shown an ice bath has zero impact on increasing muscle repair after injury/exercise. Every bugger is probably now trying to shift them. Do you have a link? I've seen a lot of suggestions that ice baths boost the immune system and reduce inflammation. A bit like cold water swimmin...

If we'd scored 3% of our corners last season that would have contributed 7 goals. We averaged 5.26 per game , Leeds averaged 7.11. So they'd have been closer to 10 goals on 3%. Next season is going to be really hard, if we could add even 3 or 4 goals to our total through corners it would be well wor...

If someone is looking for a disappointing citrus experience I can thoroughly recommend a tin of mandarin orange segments in syrup. My nan used to love putting them on a trifle and they never failed to degrade the experience.

What sort of tips are you looking for? My first suggestion would be to hire a car if you're staying for more than a couple of days. There are are lots of nice places around to visit. The canal du midi isn't very far away. It's a wine region so there are plenty of places you can go for that. The loca...

Its lower than that RV 17250 They may have to move again in the future I believe that Brentford's stadium was designed with expansion to around 30,000 a possibility. Alan Pace said he will have to consider replacing the Bob Lord or the Cricket Field stand at some point but I'd think that neither wi...

Could be the best bit of business we do this summer. If Anthony, Flemming, Humphreys and Edwards are all done deals we've got the core of the team remaining going into next season. That's a much better starting point than after promotion with Kompany.

Despite the player turnover only 18 players have played over 10 games. 30 + appearances Trafford, Pires, Egan-Riley, Esteve, Roberts, Anthony, Brownhill, Cullen, Laurent, Mejbri, Sarmiento, Flemming 10 + Humphreys, Koleosho, Jay Rod, Foster, Edwards, Barnes My understanding is the Egan-Riley, Brownh...

Record number of games unbeaten. Record number of clean sheets (almost). Record low of goals against. Record number of goal scorers. Record number of players in and out of the building. The way he set the team up probably even has Sean Dyche looking on with envy. As much as the players Parker deserv...

I think you're underestimating the psychology of a run in. If we lose at Watford it's back in Sheffield United's hands which is a major incentive for them, and heaps pressure on us. If we draw at Watford, Sheffield United could win all 3 and still not win the league, but still piles pressure on us ...

Watford are 9 points off the play-offs with 4 to go. They're 14 points above the drop so they're guaranteed Championship football for next season. They're as close as we can get to a club with nothing to play for. If we avoid defeat at Watford it makes things really difficult for Sheffield United. E...

Beyer, Redmond, Sambo, Sonne, Tresor, Benson, Agyei, Banel, Sonne, Worrall... we've got a load of players who have played very little this season. I can't remember the contract situations of all of Massengo, Amdouni, Ekdal, Houtondji, Obafemi, Churlinov and Delcroix but this summer is probably going...

Has Hannibal pushed us past a record number of goal scorers for the season? I seem to remember us being close and he was one of the few regulars who hadn't scored.

Anthony signs if we are promoted

That's good. Meaning that if we do get promoted we can have all of the starting 11. That's a better starting place than we had under VK.

I'm not surprised Roberts has given up with the overlapping runs, more often than not he makes the effort and then doesn't get the ball played to him even when he's wide open. Brownhill goes down that side quite often too. If Roberts makes the run and draws a defender surely that's still a useful r...

If we go up I'd have no hesitation in paying the reported 12m euros for him. I'd be surprised if we could get another winger of the same quality for that money. Definitely seems to have made the difference between not losing and winning more often than not.

dibraidio

There were definitely occasions where a player shot when a team mate was better placed and calling for the ball.

Has played in one world cup qualifier so far so a good chance that he could play against Bellamy's Wales tonight.

If things had worked out differently we could have had a back line entirely sourced from the academy: Lukas Jensen, Jimmy Dunne, Bobby Thomas, Owen Dodgson and Callum Styles. I know Dodgson is only playing in League One but the rest are all regulars in the Championship. Very impressed with Styles la...

This site seems to think we'll be champions.

They're expecting Leeds to win 7 and draw 3, Sheff Utd to win 6 draw 3 and lose 1 and Burnley to win 10.

Not sure how they work that out but I'd settle for that.

This website is predicting that we'll finish on 100 points, 4 points clear of Sheff Utd. That would be a pretty amazing run of 10 wins and 2 draws to finish the season. 33 unbeaten!

The winner and runner up from the last two finals are still in it. Admittedly they're both some way off their best form but they're still a real challenge for most of the other teams in there. If you look through the finalists since 1991 one or two of Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and the two Manchest...

But this where we are not comparing apples to apples. Your logic is if Sheffield continue there form over the last ten and we continue ours over the season we will go up. I think it will go right down to the wire but I truly believe it will come down to who wins the most of the next 12 games. If Sh...

I can remember being in a hotel in Amsterdam following a penalty shoot-out on ceefax. Fairly sure it must have been between 2000/1 season. Was it Scunthorpe in the FA cup? Tony has both matches down as draws on the results page for that season.

I think we should enter the lads in the EFL trophy thing.

We'd need to be category 1. Not sure that playing against the likes of Birmigham or Wrexham is going to be beneficial if we struggle against Morecambe's reserves.

dibraidio

Just to put things into perspective, Morecambe do not appear to have any U21s in their side today, they are all first team players and 7 of them were in their squad on Saturday against Walsall That's a great test for the young lads. Better than what they've been getting recently in some very one si...

KSR is right doesn’t really matter if they lose games because atm Sheffield are likely to win more of the next 12 games than us. However I am feeling a lot more confident now Edwards is in the side and few of the lads are back from injury. They have won more of their last 6 than we have, W4 L2 but ...

Gas lighting is an excellent weapon in the manipulator's armoury. By changing the narrative the manipulator leaves everyone else thinking "what just happened there? This doesn't make any sense.

Stan said he looked at the season as groups of 6 matches. Two points per game is promotion form. If you look at our last 6 games we've won 3 and drawn 3. That's 12 points. We are 1 point away from 2 points per game for the whole season. Virtually any other season we would be in the top two. The wors...

6 in 12 league games for Flemming. Carry on with that form and he could finish on 14 for the season. Not a bad return considering he only scored once before mid-December.

dibraidio

In previous seasons it seems like our form has dipped around this time of year as the best players go out on loan. We've got Westley, Mellon, Costelloe, Richardson, Walker, Tweedy and Dodgson out on loan but the form of the U21s hasn't dipped at all.

dibraidio

According to WhoScored we are 12th on goals scored. 10th on shots per game. 20th on xg. 22 on xg per shot. So you'd think that means that we don't create many decent chances and we've pretty good at putting them away. We have quite a high percentage of shots from distance and the lowest % of shots f...

Is the quality of the players so much better because of good recent recruitment or because of the investment in the development of these players year on year? Or a combination of both?

dibraidio

We never score from corners. Could add a few goals between now and the end of the season. Could make all the difference between top two or third. I'm surprised we haven't added that string to our bow. Roberts' long throw is another under utilised weapon.

dibraidio

What's interesting is that under Dyche we seemed to fail consistently when we played the fringe players. We now seem to be able to play an almost complete second string against decent opposition and everyone is sharp and knows their role. Parker seemed to suggest that Edwards isn't fully fit yet but...

Wasn't the price paid by ALK something like 1600 per share? That's 195m for 122,478 shares but they weren't buying all of the shares.

Bevan and Westley on opposite sides for Carlisle v Swindon for the last 20 minutes. Westley added the third and was inches away from touching in Swindon's 5th in their 5-1 win.
