Sorry - i wasn't having a go at you (appreciate i replied to your post ). Last night was the game i enjoyed least all season. Of course its fine to be critical. Once we got the second goal we started passing quicker and with more intent, and before hand it was more laboured. I think nerves were starting to show if im honest. What annoys me is the 'this style is always going to get you in trouble' and 'if we do this we are going to get hammered next year', being used as tools to hammer Enzo. Even considering all of the benefits bestowed to him, the achievement so far is something that should be celebrated. He's hardly going all Mourinho on us. This entitlement from the fans though is a real concern. Regardless of our position, we have to get this over the line. Atmospheres like last night make that even harder for the players.

So did Leeds and Southampton. One of the 3 of us is 10 points clear. We are miles away from being 'disappointed' being anywhere other than top 3. As for the last point, the stats paint a very different picture, and we are +11 goal difference to the next best. Not +2 or +3. + 11. I wish the fans could give their heads a wobble and just enjoy this for a bit.

Ive fallen foul of the 'i've been coming 'ere 40 years - what do you know' a few times. You are right - most people have no idea what they are watching.

Absolutely not. You still have to execute it, and he is right, its not easy. In fact - i think he is being far too nice about it. Everyone raves about Leeds, but they sit 4th, and unless they put a stella run of results together will have to settle for playoffs. Thats what happens when you don't execute this as well as you can. The 3 relegated teams were 'all too good for this league'. Yet only one can sit top, 10 points clear with a goal difference that embaresses everyone else. As for wage bills etc, that's nothing to do with Enzo. Instead, its a hangover from the past regime. His performances shouldn't be held to account because past leadership decided to pay dross too much. Makes me feel sad that there are supporters who feel he can't even express (even a little bit lightly) that he might actually think he has done well. Pathetic.

On the pitch definitely not. Praet was our worst player. That was Dakas worst display since he was reintroduced, but somehow he was still involved in all the goals. He does make things happen. Just wish he wouldn’t collapse to the ground so easily.

He’s like a sad fart that doesn’t come out properly. Just does a sad whimper.

Why would we stop playing out the back if we are winning? That part of the game won’t change. Strange night. 3 goals and a win, but poor game and largely poor performances all around. Really poor atmosphere. Probably my least favourite game of the season.

Did they have any fans? I thought I saw 2 at the start of the game but it looked like they moved. Loads of stewards down there though, but I heard a little cheer when they scored?

Bad take that.

Can't wait to hear the bloke behind me shout 'FOOOOORRRWAAARD' for most of the game. He had the day off on Saturday. First half of that game would have killed him.

Huddersfield had about 50 people turn up. I think they only had one bus.

The market value is what someone is willing to pay. Pricing someone out of that (saying i would only accept £40mil) doesn't mean he is valued at £40 mil. We push it to some ridiculous level to price them out of the game, or get them when they are desperate.

No, its not just you. @Dahnsouff!!! Do you want to first or shall I?

The Praet/Akgun question is the one that interests me the most, assuming Praet isn't injured after playing 90 minutes and also presuming KDH rumours don't pick up again. I kind of think that because Akgun was subbed he will likely get the nod.

Wasn't their talk of Spurs bidding 80 million for Conor Gallagher from Chelsea? That tells you all you need to know. All the large transfer fees will just coalesce into one direction. And they will likely pay high fees between each other to net everything out to keep the fees high and out of reach of the clubs below the big 6.

He won’t start until he’s trained properly with the team, surely?

Man City conned Burnley out of £15 mil for Trafford. They aren't going to be thinking of getting rid of Doyle for £5 million. I think we are going to have to look at other options.

You'll never sing that - oooh oooh

How much do we think Man City want for him?

I don't think Stolarczyk will be happy to play 2nd fiddle for 5 years, and i think if Mads was to end up at a bigger club it would be sooner the 4-5 years.

Its a great opportunity to see where Coady and Praet are at compared to some midtable PL competition.

Hope that decision is made based around where we are end of next month. If we win 6 in a row and are 16 points ahead of 3rd - he goes for it. If we are even in the same place we are now then its a second team and we play damage limitation or try to shit house it. One off games arent a test of where we are, especially when our fixture list is rammed around it.

No replays!

Pisses me off we aren't at home. Whether its a good draw or not will depend on where each team is in a month from now. If we go on a run of wins and don't lose to Leeds, I can see Enzo having a nibble at this. However, if we've dropped some points along the way then it will be the same line up as Brum. We should win the next 4, but i worry about Middlesbrough and Leeds. Bournemouth seemed to have mastered mid table safety somehow. I would love to paste them after that shitty 0-1 loss at the KP last year (Madders back pass). If they maintain their current form they won't have anything to worry about in the League so would likely go pretty strong.
