What were the general thought on Abrefa? I thought he had a decent game. A few slips and didn't offer a huge amount going forward, but defended fairly well given Barnsley used the width for space well. I don't think he's threatening Yiadom's place yet, but worth hanging on to and giving more time? ...

I really enjoyed the game yesterday. It was a fairly end to end and overall I thought we were the better team. Oddly, it all seemed a bit subdued when the game ended. Has there been any mention of another points deduction incoming? Anyway, changing the subject this could be the first season I can r...

Strange atmosphere at FT. It felt like neither the fans nor the players worked out we were safe, so there were no celebrations. Probably the players frustrated at the equaliser having gone ahead late on.

As it stands, not mathematical safe and won't be even if we grab a winner.

Franchise FC What’s happening at the top of the Championship ?
Does no-one want to go up ?

Reminds me of the 3 way race to stay in the Championship between us, Wolves and Brum in 2009. We won.

Can't decide who I'd rather see fcuk up promotion out of Leeds and Leicester. Is Ipswich and Southampton as top 2 still a possibility?

I've amended my original post but I'll reiterate, players like Knibbs, Wing and Smith are now the older experienced heads and they've really led by example. Pure speculation on my part but, given Hutchinson's post match interview at Shrewsbury, I wonder if he was chirping in the background. If you ...

I seem to remember from video clips of the incident, Selles was saying "Have a go at me but cut the players some slack". The upshot of a lot of that flack is that the more experienced players who should be providing the experience guidance and level headedness to see out games haven't bee...

They must be in serious trouble if they stay down. When the IDC's judgements are published on points deductions, they always detail aggravating and mitigating circumstances. What would it be for Leicester? 12 points for FFP breaches, doubled to 24 for being massive dicks about it? :lol: If Leiceste...

The Athletic estimates their revenue will hit c. £20m this season due to the US presence and sponsors that the TV series has generated. That's a mid table Championship budget. If they can hit those sort of levels, promotion from L1 is definitely achievable, but probably beyond them next season give...

If next season starts well, I can see the average attendance reaching the 17k mark. Good for the team and also good financially. 3k extra tickets must be about £50k more revenue a game, so c. £1m a season which is significant in L1. Fixture list will have an impact; midweek attendances are always lo...

Benchmark for me are the Portsmouth and Bolton away games. What did they have over us, to turn us over so emphatically. Style of play? Fast wide players? Quality of player in certain positions? Match off against that with what we have now and we would be just fine, if we can find that type of playe...

Now safety in L1 is pretty much guaranteed, I wonder how quickly the takeover will move. The expectation of EFL checks was 3 - 4 weeks (I think they mentioned this to STAR) and we're about 2 weeks in. What else is likely to be a deal breaker? I always thought the biggest threat on the buyers side w...

Given the last few years I'm not sure we should really be lolling at clubs with batshit mental owners seemingly intent on screwing the club into the ground. That said, £3 billion? Just how could a stadium cost that much unless you're using it for money laundering purposes? Clubs are always going to...

After Oldham’s great escape in the 92/93 premiership season I’d never take anything as a given until we’re mathematically safe. I am pretty sure Oldham were 9 points behind Palace with 3 games left and survived. I remember thinking we were safe in 2007/8 and that ended badly. Obviously, I am very c...

I think Elliott could be a massive player for us next season. Technically he looks like our most talented player, he can find space, play between the lines, take the ball on the turn. Give him a summer where he can bulk up a bit in pre season and find the right role for him in the middle and it coul...

Selles - great to see that emotion come out last night - sign that they believe the job is done. As the players came over, he was gesticulating wildly at his team on the bench to get everyone involved. Those sometimes-weird moments earlier in the season where he insisted players applaud the fans st...
