They were second best throughout the match tonight but how on earth the penalty for the 3rd goal was given I’ll never now. European and international football these days seems to be if it hits your hand it’s a penalty no matter what. Hell of a run for them this season though!

Ideally we need a defender that can play full back and centre back in the squad. We had it with Alan Tate last time we were promoted, maybe Lissah will be able to do that moving forward.

Great summary and agree with just about every word 👏

Ideally yes. How realistic that is this summer then time will tell.

Fair point, although I’d rather be in a position where we’ve got players who are worth a significant fee as opposed to worrying about how to offload players with no value. Take it as a positive that we’re weighing up whether £15m is worth cashing in and reinvesting elsewhere.

Strangest tournament for a long time. Wales beat Italy who beat England who beat Wales Ireland beat Scotland who beat France who beat Ireland

Not sure if anyone wants to sell him? I certainly don’t but I’d be surprised if we turned down a significant fee for any of our players - which is the case for 99% of football clubs. The question for the decision makers is whether selling 1 to bring in 3/4 makes us more or less likely to make...

Happy with that. Prefer Leicester and/or West Brom to go down personally.

Bennett had almost 300 appearances in the top 2 tiers - was very average at this level with us at the end of his career though tbf. Burgess is a similar type of player, I agree, albeit with most appearances below Championship level. He’s more than competent at this level for a mid table side...

Clean sheets: Vig has the joint 3rd most in the league - only 2 behind Rushworth in 1st Goals: 16th (with the leagues top scorer). Pretty clear what is needed in terms of those metrics you mention. ~10-15 more goals from other areas of the pitch. Do that and repeat the number of clean sheets...

In terms of what happens when ‘it’ ends it all depends what league they’re in at the time. If they’re in the Premier League it’s less of an issue as the likes of Brentford & Bournemouth have proved. From the outside I’d imagine that (with the exception of wage commitments) they’d still be in a...

I think we’ve got 20/21 senior players under contract for next season plus the likes of Lissah, Congreve, Wilson and Wales returning from loans. The idea scenario for me would be shifting 4/5 squad players on and getting 2/3 players who significantly improve the starting XI. A far stronger...

I don’t disagree with this…but…and it’s a huge but…we have no evidence that anyone currently in the squad (individually or collectively) would get anywhere near replacing those goals (see also the 2 years after Piroe left) Idah may come good, as well as some of this seasons signings but it’s...

I wouldn’t say no to both! In terms of controlling a game and footballing ability then Galbraith all day long. Just hope we get to see him with us next season.

From the eye test I’d agree and performances seem to drop off, however, Sky mentioned last night that we’re one of the highest scorers in the last 15 minutes (12 goals I believe - over 27% of our goals). Cullen (again everyone’s got a big enough sample size to form their own opinions) has...
