You read this sort of thing and it just infuriates me and that's as somebody it didn't impact. This club is run abysmally.
-
That really is about as low as it gets for us. It's quite comfortable as well.
-
How can Southampton have Rotherham and Huddersfield again when they've already played them both five times since November?
-
Cardiff signing Horvath from Forest. Could've sold them Iversen.
-
Coady's very much a counter attacker I think but agree with everything else. Coady at the heart of Nuno's side for years.
-
Did you read my Setubal post? This might be a frequent theme on 24 I fear.

I think we're more Man Utd than Man City though. Brighton sadly are doing everything we should be doing better than we could do it because they have the brains of the operation at the very top. One of Rodgers' biggest failings, probably his biggest actually, was his inability to recruit players suited to how he wanted to play. This meant he created a churn of deadwood. If these rules about FFP/PSR are how they're being explained on here then we've been way too generous with our resources frankly.
-
I think there's a real argument to be made about appointing a manager as dogmatic as Enzo if we're not going to be able to supply him all of the tools. If we know due to FFP and PSR that we're not going to be able to shift our deadwood then we're making a rod for our own backs appointing a manager who wants a big overhaul. I think our quality level will get us through this season but there are still a fair few red flags for me and this things could well bite us going forward. Can we really afford to just totally discard somebody like Souttar for example, given we're basically stuck with him?
-
I think we were a bit lucky in the good run and a bit unlucky in the bad run. But it is getting quite ridiculous how many we're letting in late now. It's a real red flag.
-
Pretty much what I thought really - the highest proportion of overall goals by a mile at a glance. 8 goals conceded in the last 10 minutes out of 22 overall is a massive proportion.
-
Got to win. Obviously.
-
It's a creation of the clubs doing over years and years. They've actively fought for this type of support.
-
We must have the highest % of overall goals conceded in the last 10 minutes by an absolute mile.
-
I'd normally agree as these things wind me up but I'm seriously impressed with them. It's the toughest relegated trio in years and they've kept pace with them post promotion from League One. They've got by a mile the weakest squad of the top four. I can't not be impressed by that.
-
To be fair what he's doing with Ipswich is more impressive than anything Potter's done in English football.
-
We are ruthlessly efficient against the weaker teams of this league but we are increasingly flaky in the genuine challenge games. I can't not be worried about that next season. You can't rely on superior quality every week when you... don't have superior quality.
-
If we drop into the play-offs we'd not win them. I think by virtue of having the best squad in the division we are going to get promoted. But there are still a lot of bad habits with us. We are still brittle in the face of adversity and I'll believe otherwise when I'm presented with evidence.
-
Still chokers aren't we. It's ominous.
-
Seriously, we need to make singing always the victims it's never your fault at these a thing. They are Liverpool-lite.
-
I've got decent money on us breaking the 106 points record so I'm very much converted on this. I have to admit though the Ndidi injury has wobbled me a bit.
-
This is all true and it's good context to put it into but I do think with Ndidi's injury there is a chance we tail off slightly. Our record with him is 2.75 points a game (!!!) and our record without, admittedly only 7 games, is 1.43 points a game. I know there's more to it than that but I don't think it's a coincidence either. I did think this month would be hard though. Players unavailable and two of the worst fixtures we could've had. I think even if we do blow it tomorrow night we have a pretty good run of games in February.
-
Nah if Coventry meet Southampton in the play-offs I'm going full profile pictures of Brussell and everything. I've no doubt he would fumble it though. I just cannot fathom how things have managed to shift me to a position where I almost want Leeds to get promoted. If there is a god it's Leicester, Ipswich and West Brom. But there's no way we can be that lucky.
-
It is truly extraordinary isn't it? To think they may not play another top 4 team until April as well. The end is coming Brussell. @Ric Flair we all know how this ends don't we? Brussell is going to assist Coventry's promotion via the play-offs, via a bottling.
-
@Sambiasso frequently hinted on here that the majority at the club wanted Rodgers out and knew it was over yet one person was stopping it happening. Top was the one we all assumed it was. But this tallies up with the bits of info we were getting on here and it was actually Rudkin all along. The fact Rudkin could stop it alone proves how bulletproof he is. He is as good as co-owner.
-
They've somehow not got a game against a top four team from 30th September (game 9) to 16th March (game 38) and even that would move to April if either Leicester or Southampton got to the FA Cup quarter final, of which we're both in round 4 with winnable ties. It's pretty extraordinary. Think exactly the same of Martin. It's not bitterness, I rate the way he's turned around the dreadful start and I wouldn't have had him down as capable of a run like this, but it's all a bit Rodgers isn't it, Rodgers was also capable of some extraordinarily good runs and results yet his teams regularly fell to bits when the pressure was on. That isn't to say Southampton will definitely do this, but they just haven't proven yet that they won't. In fairness though - neither have we. I can't even imagine the mental damage it will do to us if we somehow contrive to not get promoted from here. Would firmly establish us as a choker club.
