I expect Liverpool and City will have way too much for us. If we're in with a chance of staying up we should be getting 4 points from the two home games against Forest and Leeds. A point away to Villa or Wolves would put us on 8 points from 9 games. That would be an excellent return considering that...

I think you can get an idea of how fashionable a club is from this table. We're clearly not despite our much vaunted signing videos which probably skew the numbers a bit: Subscribers on youtube 01/09/25: Liverpool 11.8m Man Utd 10.3m, Man City 8.6m Chelsea 6.0m Arsenal 4.8m Spurs 4.2m Everton 921k N...

On Saturday morning there was a graphic on Sky Sports showing the top points scorers for Fantasy football and there was Josh Cullen on 16 points, the 4th highest for the week but he didn't get a single mention in a long discussion where they talked about virtually everyone else on the graphic.

What the squad list suggests is that, if Ramsey departs on loan, we're a bit light on players who can play in attacking/creative midfield roles. We'd have one more space in the squad should he go and I'd like to see us introduce real pace on the right side. If we did that, then Sonne might actually...

Taking the mickey this one. Good luck to him, shame he couldn't get something in League One.

Against Spurs Sonne played alongside Walker in a back 5 and in the other two games he's come on to replace JBL not Walker.

Can't see us wanting to rely on Tresor. I wonder what the idea behind Benson playing for the U21s was? Was it to prove he can play 90 minutes? If he's fit he could be an asset to most teams in the Championship but would he need to look elsewhere to be guaranteed game time? Wonder if Dundee would be ...

Just a thought, for those who aren't sticking to the subject on the links only thread.

Would a loan move be the be option for Ramsey?

Who will make way for Luis if he comes from Benfica?

Will Tchouana replace Hannibal?

Egan Riley was playing as a left centre back and was clearly uncomfortable with his role. In his first two games he played on the right and OM have been caught out playing a high line and players have got in behind them. He wasn't at fault. Yesterday he struggled with balls coming in on his wrong si...

I agree with Tony, Anthony pulled Amad's shirt outside the box and Amad dived into the box looking for the penalty. To me that's the dark arts and I don't like to see it but Anthony was naive because there were two covering defenders and he didn't need to pull the shirt and should have let go before...

Who's not been included so far? Roberts, Amdouni, Benson , Beyer, Delcroix, Churlinov, Obafemi, Tresor or Banel
I know they're not all fit but is there a chance that Amdouni and Beyer could be left out of the 25 if they're unlikely to play?

According to Sport Bild Timo Werner is not interested in a move and wants to stay put and keep picking up his 200k per week until his contract with Leipzig ends next year. Of course this could just be a negotiation ploy.

Good. I don’t think they have the passion, nor skill, to get out of this rut any time soon. If we don’t do anything daft against them, we should get at least a draw. Honestly? They are a huge relegation risk. Ruben Amorin hasn't become a bad manager over night, the players he has should be able to ...

Post match Amorin said something along the lines of "we've got one more game then we'll sort this out during the international break". Does that mean that he's making his excuses for Saturday already to try and take the pressure off? He suggesting that the players who started the game had sent him a...

Can't get my head round these Sunderland fans to be honest They beat West Ham and think they're going to have it easy. Finished 24 points behind us last season, scored 11 goals fewer than us who were supposedly boring, and somehow think they're going to rock up and roll Burnley over without a chall...

If you base it just on who played against Stoke and Lazio you get the same players who were in the squad for the last two matches other than Hladky: Weiss Sonne....Worrell....Pires Edwards..Laurent...Tchauona You can add Flemming to that as he's been on the bench twice and needs the minutes. Delcroi...

Coming into the season I was hoping but not expecting that we'd be able to defend like we did last season. With the changes in personnel and the time required to get the players up to speed with the system I wasn't sure. It's too soon to judge but today was a good sign that we should be able to comp...

At Burton Dodgson was on free kicks and corners, tonight he stepped up for most of them but Ollie Norwood took them. The set plays were all poor. You'd have to think it'll only be a matter of time before Dodgson gets his chance to take them because his deliveries are generally far more dangerous. Fr...

The term “for a good while now” certainly applies more to Broja than it does Calvert-Lewin. DCL scored 7 goals and provided 2 assists for Everton in the 2023-24 season but you have to go back to 2021-22 to find any worthwhile contributions from Broja. Broja is still young though, having said that e...

Last season a Burton fan described him as "a cheatcode at this level". Good luck to him, I hope he manages to get fewer yellow cards, last season he got 10 in 22 appearances. 4 assists wasn't a bad return for a full back.

Westley and unknown scored for the Clarets. Could that mean that the second is a trailist or is it just that they couldn't te...

It's interesting having the two games instead of one. Presumably it allows the club to get more than 45 minutes of football for more first team players and an opportunity for the U21s to play against better quality opposition with a "bigger" match day experience than what they'd get at say Warringto...

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. ...

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.

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.

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...

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.

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...
