Their contracts will dictate that and we couldn’t change those my thoughts are still around promotion bonus’ and maybe only some players had agents who were switched on

Pedantically and mathematically- yes but there’s no chance

There is zero chance that we finish below 6th

Especially given that we were down to 13 for most of the period and 12 for a short time but then that is also bound to happen with repetitive penalties which makes it all the more nuts that it lasted to 100 mins

A birthday treat ??

For twenty minutes ! that's nuts can’t be many times that’s happened before

If we can get a loan fee of a £1.5m and half his wages covered then we’re better off doing that but then next summer we’re struggling to get anyone to pay more than £4m

It’s ok - he’s moved on this morning with more important stuff ! i guess we’re all made differently - it does affect me because I am emotionally invested in the club but you learn to pigeon hole over time. What really matters and what doesn’t.

Some of the defensive transitions yesterday would have embarrassed my youngest’s U13 team my kid was screaming at winks to stop over committing in midfield because as he said to me - ‘if you’re a single CDM then you can’t gamble’. And he’s right - just look at the space when we turned over the ball on several occasions. Janiik was also guilty of going way too high to try and put pressure on his man - just let him go if he’s dropping into their defensive third. Like I said - embarrassing for seasoned pros.

I see we just beat Newcastle last night but the game ran to 100 minutes ???? how does that happen with a stop/start clock ?

Leeds drew with Huddersfield they haven’t lost in the league this year

If we cut our losses then they are still losses and we won’t have anything to invest I actually think he is physical (string) enough - he just seems a bit slow both physically and mentally. With enzo that second one is a big problem. But I think he goes this summer whatever our situation and we just suck up the hit (which is £10m left on his value and wages of £8m less whatever he can earn elsewhere next two years). we may get £7.5m from somewhere which means we lose about £6m on the books for 24/25. That indicates a sale approx £13.5 is required to break even

I need to escape my eldest who thinks I’m stupid and uncaring because I didn’t ‘smash up the lounge’ yesterday I don’t remember being like that in the early nineties …..we had plenty of disappointments back then too

Someone needs to sit him down and explain that if we don’t go up then the club is so screwed and it will largely be down to him - he’s our best player. Let him know that just like madders, his legacy will be our failure. but madders isn’t a local boy and kdh will never be able to escape that feeling. Somehow he needs to be motivated to really care and not just think he cares. He has 8 games left in a blue shirt to make it count.

any intensity is gone when we saw it earlier in the season it was when we pressed to win the ball back now we’ve stopped doing that effectively, our game is almost totally pedestrian Leeds and Ipswich are playing with the desire that we aren’t having watched Southampton last twenty minutes yesterday they looked closer to us than the other two so reminiscent of this time last season where we wandered around with no plan and no realisation of our situation whilst Everton, forest and others got stuck in and looked like they were playing for their lives.

Wellens ? that would be too much of a gift to foxes talk …

I’m still waiting for the sacrificial goat to sort us out …..

We were about 125m for the previous two seasons so that would mean a loss approx 75m for last season pretty sure that would mean Maddison fee would be in 23/24. those numbers are losses rather than psr numbers

I was referring to the accounts to end June 23 rather than end June 24 which don’t need to be filed until end March 25 and advised to the efl by nov 24.

First feared? by who ? They were given to the efl a month ago together with our management accounts for this season. The reaction of the Pl and EFL this month has shown they must have been pretty grim. I wonder if we’re allowed to change them once we’ve passed them over? I mean we may have decided to go big last season to try and get as much news out there as early as possible. You can amend your accounts right up until you file them. Perhaps we decided that as we’ve been charged by the epl we may as well put a bigger chunk of amortisation into last year.

Jeez I’m a minute behind Stan ! if this was Ipswich then I’m sure they’d find a winner - mind you that didn't happen at Cardiff!

Confidence and bravery on the ball to make the quick pass and create space both gone

Our tactics have been completely sussed to make them work with the opposition pressing one for one requires our players to be confident and brave sadly two things lacking an old head like warnock worked us out early on and played aggressively that way at Huddersfield. Due to the poor standard of finishing at this level we got away with it. Now we are so far into the season there are plenty of examples how to counter our approach and opposition coaches can show their players that there’s nothing to fear. the only way this changes is for us to regain our mojo or change our tactics. Given the pressure we’re after, I’m not sure how we manage that now because enzo won’t change the tactics and we won’t get our mojo back without a couple of wins.

Yeah - we should play someone who’ll be here next season like praet or younus …..

any chance of sticking it on YouTube ?
