Last one from me as I’m sure it’s boring everyone else. 🤣 Indicator of what you’ve done compared to last year - I agree Indicator of what you’ve done compared to the other 23 teams in the league - I disagree (Personally, I’m far more interested in the latter at the end of a season, but I see...

Early on in the season (arguably up to half way) it’s a valid argument that managers have made for decades - I agree. Where I’m not in your camp is that it matters at the end of the season. It’s a good thing for the staff to analyse (clearly a big points increase shows progress) but a handful...

We’ll agree to disagree on that. You’re playing different teams in different seasons so the strength of the league changes. You could say the same about position I guess, but what never changes is that top 2 gets you promoted, top 6 in the playoffs and bottom 3 are relegated irrespective of how...

Number of points is pretty irrelevant at the end of the season though - it’s the position you finish that counts. We’ve finished 15th, 10th, 14th and 11th in the last 4 seasons and are currently (again means nothing until 46 games) below all of those. I’m very much in the positive camp in...

Galbraith takes some free kicks too - albeit fewer recently. I was talking about open play though as clearly a player in any position can take set pieces and it boosts numbers.

This is the beauty of football. Everyone has opinions. Personally I’d say he’s a very average right back at Championship level. It’s been discussed at length on the other thread about the benefits of having him as an extra midfielder when we have the ball, but I’d be interested to see what...

As others have said you can’t expect Vipotnik to play 90 mins every game with the way Matos wants him to press. This seems like an obvious one to leave him out of for me, as you’ve got to play him at home and we’re likely to have less possession today than in some other away games. Not sure...

Pakistan doing pretty much everything they can to qualify atm.

Don’t think you can blame one of them for the last few years 😬😅 Sullivan and his son do seem to be pretty much in charge of all transfers from everything you read.

Incredibly consistent in buying centre forwards who aren’t good enough to play in the Premier League. You think they’d have got at least one right simply by chance in the last decade.

If we can marry that with more composure and better decision making in the final 3rd then next season could be very enjoyable!

Good thinking here to try and avoid India in the semi final! 😅

Great start for JC again!

Leeds last season? Nothing off the top of my head this year.

Nah, I’m only interested what they think of each other…be kind 🤣🤣

I do! It’s been a long day 🤣

By any footballing metric we’ve been better over the last 50 years (or any other period 10/20/30/40) you wish to use. If that’s not enough for people then I don’t know what is.

If that’s what the manager and club feel then I’d definitely be looking to cash in over the summer if a 7 figure offer comes in. Personally, I think people are too hung up these days on if players are a 6, 8 or 10 - the key for me is how the 3 midfielders compliment one another and their link...

I probably agree with both of those statements but the bigger question, now we are pretty much nailed on to be in the Championship next season, is where do you see Galbraith playing next season (assuming he's still with us)? If the answer to that is in midfield then I'd much rather use these...

It’s good to know Galbraith can play right back (and it’s a decent option for some home games), but assuming we’re targeting a right back in the summer I’d be using the next 12 games to work out what combinations of Stamenic, Galbraith, Franco, Widell and Walta work well together in readiness...
