    Actually not too discouraged by that. Away at a decent side, and absolutely should have one point, created enough for three

    Actually feeling bad for Key here. Presumably low on confidence already, and just putting in a complete disasterclass

    Think this is a bit far at the moment. Looked much better under Matos, and were the considerably stronger side in the first half. I'm worried about our inability (currently) to beat anyone above us, but I'm much more relaxed under Matos

    Wonder if using Galbraith as an inverted full-back is going to be part of strongest eleven moving forward? Fixes two of our weaknesses - Key defensively, and settling on our best midfield. He's barely a right back with the ball, so not sure we're even missing out on his playmaking by sending him...

    Eom

    Don't know why Inoussa isn't starting with Eom on the right. Ronald's huff and puff with no end product is taking the piss a bit now

    £12 for an away ticket, very tempting. Shame I'm moving house and would risk the sanctity of my relationship by going.

    The January 2026 Transfer Window Thread

    Agree, Bianchini I don't expect to ever be a game-changer, but he strikes me as a very useful physcial asset for a high-pressing side. Modern football systems routinely have 'systems players', who provide little statistically, but suit a manager's intent perfectly; Bianchini might not be the...

    I genuinely view the Stoke ground as akin to the Somme. Cannot remember a game we've had there that wasn't completely and utterly grim viewing

    Hope he's fighting fit soon - I lived next door to the Seahaven in my 2nd year of Uni; he onec knocked on our door and said I was 'disturbing the peace' for playing my guitar at 2 in the afternoon. Fair enough, I was almost certainly absolutely shit at that point.

    We'd be 6 points from relegation regardless of results; with Stoke and Ipswich playing, the max we could be is 8 points from the play-offs, but would require about 4 different results to go specific ways

    To put into perspective how mad this league is, a win today moves us 6 points above relegation, and 7 from the play-offs

    Just on this... It makes sense if you're canny with the ins and outs of xG, but this is an example where it isn't a very good metric for a game. Under Sheehan, I was complaining week in, week out for about two months regarding our woeful attacking input and low xG, so really, I should be over...

    Really encouraging performance, haven't had that much threat going forward for a long time. Eom's best game for us I'd say. Slightly worry about Portsmouth on Tues with their game being abandoned, they'll be very fresh
