Really can’t fault the effort from 1-16 today, especially considering what we had to play for and what they did. Kudos to Parker after the mistake for their goal. Always wanted the ball and looked to drive forward at every opportunity. Would be silly to not give him at least 2/3 more starts no...

Makes more sense than FPTP to me, where you can regularly get 60%+ of the politicians with less than 40% of the vote. At least with this system you’ll end up with a percentage of politicians that roughly represents the percentage of the public that voted for them. Seems to work ok in most grown...

Yellow for me too. Although I think I’d rather Portsmouth go down than Oxford so…well done ref/assistant! 🤣

It’s overly simplistic and incredibly harsh on those being persecuted by similar regimes all round the world but I’m inclined to agree. There’s so much nuance and grey when deciding when to intervene and when not to that sometimes burying your head in the sand and doing nothing seems the least...

Use this to play around with the figures https://jaclarner.github.io/senedd_etholiad_sim/ Assuming the other 16% is split between Green, Lib Dem, AN Other it comes out as: Plaid 2 Reform 2 Labour 1 Conservative 1 UPDATE BELOW FYI Realistically there are two ways to get a 3rd seat: 1. Get 1.5x...

Hard to beat 'Cambridge won the boat race' with accompanying rowing gestures at the Manor Ground, Oxford in the 90s for on the spot innovation. Still chuckle thinking about it :ROFLMAO:

Was just about to post this. I’ve thought the bubble would burst for 15-20 years now but it seems to be getting ‘worse’ by the season and shows no sign of changing anytime soon.

They’ve been very streaky since Hellberg took over over. Looked very good going forward (especially 1st half) on Friday. Can see another high scoring game, just a question of who takes more of their chances. Will be interesting to see the team and whether Eom & Idah get a start after their...

Would definitely have taken 300+ when 28 for 4 yesterday!

Not sure about the ‘useless’ part, but the club were also more than happy to move him on last summer, and for a fraction of what his current value is.

Better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all 😅

Smaller sample size, but some said similar about Sheehan this time last year. Not that I disagree in principle about ‘points vs position’ but extrapolating part season ‘points per game’ is largely irrelevant as we all start with zero in August and finish somewhere based on the 46 games that...

Agree that 16th shouldn’t come with a caveat and neither should 9th. You finish where you deserve to finish after 46 games. My point was that the position shouldn’t alter the thinking/plan for the summer. I think most supporters and those inside the club know what we need, irrespective of how...

See also Craig Bellamy’s comments about him. Doesn’t mean that Cullen wasn’t poor against Bosnia and has been at times when starting this season for us. When coming off the bench he usually does what is expected and prior to today, I think, had more goals from the bench that the rest of the...

Very true. Posted earlier that we could end up anywhere from 9th to 17th on 60-65 points. Shouldn’t get carried away at either end of that, but need to be working hard on and off the field to identify how best to get an extra ~10 points & goals next season which would likely guarantee a top 8...

Agree that there are no other options atm, but I’m still not convinced why anyone would want to give away a player who’s likely to play all 46 league games this season (unless thinking purely from a financial point of view if his alleged wages are correct). There’s plenty on the books that have...

Agree about having perspective but football supporting generally isn’t like that. It’s always feast or famine! 3 points between 9th and 16th and very little to choose between any of those teams. I’d throw Sheffield United in that group and we could easily finish in any of those places by the...

Hasn’t been at the level I was expecting, or that Ipswich fans made out, but I don’t understand the huge desire to get the only outfield player in the EFL to have played every minute this season off our books. Assuming Santos will find another club/will have his contract paid up, we have only 2...

Swedish league finished in November so wasn’t expecting him to play 90 mins straight away, but he’s been with us for 2 months now so just surprised at how little he’s played since that one start at home when he came off at half time. Let’s see what happens over the next 6 games…

Unless there’s some financial penalty with Brighton for not playing Yalcouye - doubtful based on the how little he’s played in the rest of this season - then I agree. Feel like I’m repeating myself after every game but I don’t understand why Walta’s not getting any game time (unless there’s an...
