I am obliged to point out I predicted this a few pages back. QBs not at the same level as a lot of other teams, although I thought Goff might be good enough to get to the Championship game. Probably the only time I've made a decent prediction in the whole thread.

Little pocket of irreligion in Nottinghamshire, which seems obvious when you think about it

I reckon we'd have about six more points, perhaps more if he'd avoided the injuries we've recently had. We'll never know of course but I think it is seriously unlikely we would be where we are now. Even if you don't accept Maresca is a very good coach, just the continuity would be worth a few more decent results.

I feel like that describes like 50% of non league fanbases, at least across the Midlands and East Anglia

Funniest thing about Khan is that he still thinks, years later, the world wants to hear his thoughts on Donald Trump.

Speaks well. That's about it.

We're benching the Premier League for now. Going to park that idea for later.

"the Washington-based organisation said it expected the UK economy to grow by 1.6% in 2025, up from an earlier forecast of 1.5%"

We are slightly behind schedule in our journey to survival

Ah shit. Loved Twin Peaks of course. But maybe my favourite Lynch film, and probably in my 3 favourite films of all time, is The Straight Story. There's a ten minute spell from around 25-35 minutes in that is just the most beautiful filmmaking, the direction, cinematography, music, everything. Just perfection. That it came from the same director as Eraserhead and Blue Velvet just shows how talented and original he was.

Agree, although the flame thrower was much appreciated on Saturday. Toasty.

This debate has been done to death now but it's perfectly acceptable to leave a midweek game in the winter with that kind of performance. I have to admit I missed Faes' goal on Saturday because my feet felt like they were going to drop off after being on damp, freezing cold concrete for an hour and a half.

Yep, and they've never been back. Wolsey, who's probably buried somewhere underneath Abbey Park, is of course most closely associated with Ipswich. Meet you there tomorrow morning with a shovel?

Not sure about that. I remember the forum being quite split, maybe like 40/60, between people who felt we were a bit unlucky and those who thought we were deservedly bottom. And I think it depended very much on how big a fan one was of Pearson. From Newcastle away up to and including West Ham away, we looked absolutely clueless. And Pearson didn't seem to know his best team or tactics.

good poster, what happened to him

Someone find Cardinal Wolsey under a car park and phone Cumberbatch...

The West Ham game was literally days after he was reinterred right? The winning goal scored by King. Then we finished top the next season, and York bottom of the entire football league. I am absolutely a Richard III truther. There is no other explanation.

To be fair we were absolutely awful at times from September - January. Couldn't defend or score, like now. Improved after that but still took time to start picking up points. Without Huth we would've gone down. But yes, most of the components were there for the great escape, we just needed to find that missing piece of the jigsaw and stumble on a winning formula. That's not the case now. We are several pieces short. What a run that was though. Maybe my favourite period supporting Leicester, even more so than winning the league. What a time to be alive.

His presence looms large. It's almost like Vardy FC at times with all this very cringy 'GOAT' stuff, although I suppose that's understandable given his record here. There's no evidence that's a hindrance to us, but instinctively I feel it's probably not helping at the moment. Yes if we go down he's still got enough natural ability to probably hit double figures even at 39, but we need to move on.

I remember sitting with my Dad in a pub on New Year's Day 2015 going through the fixture list and trying to work out how we could stay up, and no matter how we crunched the numbers we kept coming up short... But like you said, this squad aint that squad.
