Interesting that he specifically mentions the 4-2-2-2 being exploited by teams that play direct, would be interesting to look back and see if we were being caught out like that, committing several players high up to press their defence and the opposition just goes long and bypasses the high press wh...
The three relegated sides nearly always have insanely higher budgets than the rest of the Championship. That’s what the parachute payments do. I understand the 3 coming down will have parachute payments, but Leicester, Leeds and Southampton felt like a new extreme when it came to financial disparity.
Bolton definitely a better team than Oxford and won their last meeting 5-0. But it's only 1 game and an upset can easily happen. Obviously I hope not - seems alien enough to finish below them in the table let alone be in a lower division. It's win:win. They lose on TV on their big night out. Or The...
While I think we're all a lot more positive now, especially with the takeover looking likely, seems crazy to have one of the highest odds in the league.
FAO admin people on here & moderators, I have blocked the previous poster, why do I keep receiving these posts?? Blocking just hides their post under an 'x posted do you want to view it' message. You'll still get notifications if they quote you, they post on a topic you're 'watching' (is that a...
Huddersfield relegated barring favourable results on the final day, plus a huge goal difference swing. They’ll be joined by one of Birmingham, Plymouth, Sheff Wed or Blackburn. The League Two play-offs will be: Milton Keynes vs Crawley and Doncaster vs Crewe. Other than being an easy away game to d...
Barnsley sack boss Collins with one game remaining Barnsley Football Club can confirm the departure of Head Coach Neill Collins. Collins was appointed last summer and despite several positive spells throughout the season, recent results have left the board of directors feeling that a change is need...
I've been told that there could be some good news this week. We might be finally coming to an end to the saga. If it is announced as complete before Saturday, then that will be an amazing way to end a trying campaign. Carefree home game, with potentially close to a 20k crowd. Party time. "Part...
Definitely just want us to win and end on a high, we deserve a good mutual lap of appreciation, been a while since it hasn't seemed like a farce and a defeat will put a damper on it. Hopefully results will conspire against Oxford so it won't matter, Exeter are in good form so will be tough for them,...
We can play our part in a potential final day relegation scrap, if we beat Burton and Fleetwood beat Leyton, they play eachother on the final day, Fleetwood win they stay up, if they don't, they go down.
Pretty much, except I'd replace 5 with "assurance that Cat 1 Academy status will be supported for the forseeable". BTW I thought Compass had already quit this "appalling" club themselves. I'm not as committed to a cat 1 academy personally, it's a big investment, especially in Le...
FT 2-2. With Port Vale and Cheltenham both losing that means Reading are now 10 (TEN) points clear of the bottom 4. Port Vale (21st) don't have enough games left to be able to reach 50 points and Cheltenham can only do so if they win all 4 games they have left but would have to make a good 20 goal ...
