Any system is going to need investment and the constraints are going to hurt anyone who would come here. Everyone is obsessed with Burnley right now, but other systems being used at the bottom end of the table are struggling (including the 2 other promoted teams). Also look at Dycheball and whatever Forest supposedly play. Dyche can't get a sniff of anything (well other than his own bacon flavoured head) - the same Dyche loads of people were saying was decent and only needed some good players to show what he can do. If we go up, the key objective next season is survival, which is going to be made even harder when we get feked over with points deductions. People talking about inverting fullbacks needing infinite resources and elite players are missing the point. The big resources are needed for Man City to compete as the elite in the PL and the Champions League. We need enough to be able to compete with a certain type of PL team. I feel there is a ripple of arrogance in here that a manager playing a different system would somehow have us top 10 in PL. It's the same arrogance stating we have the best championship team ever, and my nan would get us promoted. Like it or not, Enzo was given a project and he is still carrying most of another managers squad (many who have relegation hanging over them) and one that was made weaker in January. I do feel it's disingenuous to abandon that right now at the first hurdle, after the start the project gave this club. Sure, he stock has dropped massively in my own eyes but i can also understand why he has stuck with what had been working, especially as it worked in the last 2 home games. I still think he has the right to see the next 4 games out and we should all get behind the team. If we get this done, a huge spring clean is going to happen no matter what and difficult times lurk. Sorry - but that's an awful take. Don't disagree that our midfield is found wanting mind you.

There aren't any pastings coming from us now. If we win this its going to be something like 2-1 and it will be the fans getting it over the line (as it was against Brum).

lolz - yesterday was nothing about Southampton. Preston were exactly as effective as when they visited us at the KP. I think they were probably the worst team i have seen at our ground. Southampton played pure Brussel ball and Preston looked like the biggest bag of shite i have seen since they played at the KP. This league does my head in, because you see teams like Preston who can get decent results against the mid / lower table dross and finish upper middle table themselves. But Preston i think play some of the worst garbage in the Championship. Then you can get Millwall who get results against us and Southampton but can't get themselves up for games against lower table dross.

Especially when that banning has a date of birth attached to it, so that their mates currently in industry aren't impacted by it. Maybe i am being naive, but i am not aware of anything having a date of birth limit attached to it. Obviously an age limit makes sense, but once someone born in 2009 becomes an adult then they should be free to do whatever someone born in 1980 is free to do (or even someone born in 2008!). Funny, because whilst smoking is a personal choice, owning a filthy massive Diesel car can negatively impact mine and my families health which was no choice of mine. But mention ULEZ might actually be a good thing and you get called a Nazi.

Would be hugely surprised if he went to Liverpool. There were rumours that Klopp was a fan, but i would doubt he is technically good enough.

I have a 100% success rate on a chippy lunch if that helps.

I thought Norwich (games ago, last game at home) was one of the best performances of the season.12.30 saturday, and i had a smashing chippy lunch before hand.

Early on teams targeted him as it was clear he was the weak link.

Amazing news - well done all.

They’ve likely just overestimated demand and now want rid. We did when we sold our last house. Although there was interest offers weren’t forthcoming, some time pressures kicked in and we changed our expectations . You might even get lucky with a cheeky offer.

Yes but we have to start scoring goals again.

He was the previous managers pet.

And people still don’t get it.

Goal music. Nice. PNE remind me of how they looked at the KP. Dross.

How many times has that been written on this forum?

He played for Luton in the championship on Loan. Won a players player of the season.

He has played it before you know!

Today is a game in hand. Win that and they need 6 points and they jump to 7th. This league is awful. Fight for everything, because West Brom are in terrible form and for a team like Norwich, awful form is just around the corner. Its not beyond the realms of possibility that one of the top 6 teams loses their remaining games. Its unlikely, but you keep fighting because you never know.

Do one over Southampton and us and they stand a very good chance.

They've won 2 of their last 5 games. You speak of them like they are Barcelona or something

It did do. But i imagine those stats would see his numbers come down in the last few games. Teams have adapted to it and know what he is going to do. And as he is not particularly clinical they can take more risks with him.

Actually don't care. Saturday 12.30 is all i care about.

Depending on Cannons (match) fitness thats how i expect us to line up. I then expect a load of threads of Cannon being useless and lots of 'why does Enzo depend on him' etc after the game.

There will be less emphasis on forcing things to happen. First 70 mins against Leeds or the game against Bournemouth are good indicators of this.

I thought i saw we had an XG of 1.88 against Plymouth. Leeds had 1.4 against Blackburn. Doesn't strike me as terrible?
