Cairney struggling with illness apparently

Just listening to Bowen’s interview He’s genuinely the first manager for a while I enjoy listening to. Rather than just bland cliches he does give a bit of insight into what the plans were etc The stuff about just keeping positions and ‘enjoying defending’ are quite interesting imo Clarke and Cleme...

Maybe but feel 3 of the current bottom 4 are doomed. Getting cut adrift. Both Stoke and Barnsley on half decent form though They are but yet the gap from the bottom 4 to the rest appears more pronounced now than ever. Think Luton are goners, too reliant on their home form Think Barnsley will plumme...

Wayne Rooney’s Derby play Barnsley next, I wonder how Wayne Rooney’s team will get on

paultheroyal Is Michael Hector now at Fulham?

Yes, he'll be able to play from January 1st.

Fulham fans seem to think he’s not available until the Villa cup game for some reason?

Should we keep a back four that has kept 4 clean sheets in a row? Yes. Yes is the answer However Yiadom isn’t back for a couple of weeks yet I don’t think so circumstances by then may change Even if he was back now, IMO he has to work his way back into the team from the subs bench, even though I th...

I’d certainly rotate for Blackpool but leave things pretty much as they are for the moment in the league Rino, Olise, Richards, Obita, Walker, Howe, Miazga, Boye, Baldock could all do with 90 mins I reckon we’ll see something like Walker Howe Miazga McIntyre/Blackett Richards McCleary Rino Adam Obi...

Unrelated, but I notice Blackett and Ejaria are wearing short sleeve shirts and gloves. As J Low said, I just don’t get that Fantastic away win though. Get something at Fulham and it makes the two games against Forest massive if we want to sneak into the top 6 That first goal is very impressive too....

People need to just get over it, VAR offsides are only highlighting the perceived inadequacies of the offside rule. I think it’s much better than when we had people a yard or two off/onside given incorrectly. If people want the offside rule changed, then so be it. Don’t have a pop at VAR because yo...

Surely City’s first needs to be disallowed because of referee interference?

URZZZZ Same team. Aluko in for Olise on the bench

Hopefully Baldock is fit for the bench too

You cheeky bollocks

Aluko or Boye? Which one

Same team. Aluko in for Olise on the bench

Hopefully Baldock is fit for the bench too

Yiadom is the only one I'd send straight back in; a pure like for like upgrade on Gunter. Otherwise, the system is working so stick with it. There will be injuries etc. The players you mention will get chances, but for now they must be patient while the team is winning. No one should be changed IMO...

2016

I don`t see it, 5 games without conceding in our last promotion in 2012.

The original post said 4

4 successive clean sheets against Rotherham, Forest, Wigan and Burton in 2016

windermereROYAL

Zip What. A. Result. Four successive clean sheets. When did we last manage that?

2012

2016

1 goal conceded since Birmingham and it was an individual error

Adam, Gunter and Blackett playing well, good to see, not many would have them in their preferred XI

Bet Preston hate us

Sutekh

Royals and Racers Unchanged starting line-up

Subs are

Walker, Miazga, Rinomhota, Obita, McCleary, Boye and Olise

The signs aren’t great for Loader

Both Puscas and Baldock injured and he’s not even making the bench
