I think we should use aggressive dynamic pricing to fill the stadium every game. If that means selling tickets for a couple of quid at the outset so be it. Capacity crowds will help the team, generate a sense of occasion and will hopefully create a sense of scarcity, which will help to...

https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/championship/attendances/2010-2011 The figures for the 2010/11 season show us mid table on average attendance ahead of Bristol City, Millwall, Preston and Watford.

When you compare our attendances to the last time we were in the Championship they are pretty much identical. Most other clubs in the Championship have increased their following by several thousand. The positive in this is that there's no good reason why we can't grow our support. Winning...

I agree with most of this, although some of these issues can be attributes to having few options, especially in the middle of the park with Allen perpetually injured and Franco blowing up after 60 minutes. The point about possession is a common misunderstanding of Williams' approach. If that was...

I think they're on a good trajectory. Improvements to the ground, facilities and just made the playoffs. They're heading in the right direction.

I really liked Williams when he joined. A really positive, open personality, impossible not to warm to. Then he clearly struggled to get buy in to his ideas, probably mainly because he had the wrong players to implement his game plan. At that point he lost the plot, starting with the home game...

If you focus exclusively on his attacking end product I would agree with you. 2 goals and 7 assists is a decent return but nothing out of the ordinary. However, when you factor in his defensive contribution (best in league for both tackles and duels won) he's certainly making a good contribution...

If there is a concern it will be our lack of pace at the back. I can see Sheehan chopping and changing approach based on the speed of the opposition strikers, perhaps defending deeper at times.

They really don't get it that these delusions of grandeur are completely counterproductive. If you think you're better than you are before a ball is kicked then complacency is inevitable. Hunger, humility and honesty are bedrocks of success. Long may they fail to recognise it.

I think it's Ok to get a little bit carried away, after all if you can't get carried away in pre-season when can you? But even with a cooler examination of our prospects there's good reason to be optimistic. That 2023/24 summer window seemed decent at the time simply because of the number of...

I loved his understated celebrations. Almost as if he was saying - of course I've scored, what did you expect?

I've never seen a more physically dominant striker, apart from Duncan Ferguson perhaps. There was no way a centre back was going to nick the ball off Bony.

Sorry to say, but I think Cardiff may finally have made a good managerial appointment. His limited and mediocre track record and the divergence in playing style are reasons why he may fail, but BBM could be the manager that gets them playing with a coherent style, maximizing the quality in their...

If you want a summary of where things are at I guess AI generated stuff is a good starting point. But to any fan who's following events at the club closely it's just generic guff and pretty tedious.

Those were all poor signings, although none would have relegated us by themselves. Had we signed prime Allen he would have kept us up. Huge difference.
