Sounds like we did a job on Luton today. Played a massively weakened team from the start, which was very strange. Luton expectedly dominated for 60 minutes. We held firm defensively only conceding once, defence was probably the only position we started most of our strongest.
Then sub in 3 key...
Our start has been a bit similar to yours at Preston, just not quite clicked in the final third but been strong defensively, have created a lot of clear cut chances and played very well overall. The signings of Broadhead and Fletcher and return to fitness of Aasgaard has helped a lot...
They've absolutely smashed FFP, done it in style to be fair, 38m in one season alone, nearly did the full 42m in 1 go! Apparently will be a few months before it's sorted.
Given Sheff Wed, Birmingham City, Reading and Derby County all got points deductions, the precedent has been set. Sure they...
Woodman looked excellent against us, is he permanent for you?
Bristol City have a shocking defence and no creativity, just couldn't somehow get that elusive winner that the performance deserved. Think after their points deduction for FFP breaking, they will be one of the 3 relegated. Our...
Your 2 one on one's and top of the cross bar bounce was all the same move. So would have only been 1 goal from it had one of those gone in.
But as you said with Wigan having 14 shots inside the box and the only team having chances the whole of the second half only Wigan were the team who was...
How could you have had 6 points based on chances when on the opening day you had 2 on target but part of the same move to Wigans 5 on target? Also Wigan had a lot more shots overall. We were definitely the better side but not by a great deal, I think a draw was probably fair, 2nd half Preston...
Not as simple as that. If they had to pay back 65m, Parachute payment covers 43m. So they are 22m short still. If the entire parachute payment has gone already then they are down basic income of around 10m. They spent around 130 on wages etc last season. That is an extra 120m and then 22m on top...
The players need to be mentally tougher, 2 up and cruising, Portsmouth having 0 shots on target in the first 61 minutes and a comfortable 3 points and title heading our way, a horrific officiating error to give a goal, even several Portsmouth players stop, along with ours waiting for the free...
Always thought it was stupid to give awards when there is still games to go.
That second goal was simply magical, what an absolutely phenomenal piece of skill for our second, probably never do that again for the rest of his career and he is 23.
Frustrating game today. That performance from Plymouth today clearly wasn't indicator of how they have played for most part of the season, I don't think I've seen a team that knackered from the 1st minute of a match in a long time and I feel for their fans as I just can't see them getting that...
Completely wrong. Firstly, the owner at the time simply sold the club to himself, he allegedly did so using a high interest 25.3m loan, probably to appease shareholders in HK, though he never actually, because that loan didnt exist and didnt go through at all, the 10.7m was moved from Wigan...
Interestingly we have lost 17 from winning positions but won 17 from losing, we do seem bad at failing to kill games off when 1 goal up, which is frustrating but much of that came from 4-2-3-1 games in fairness, we have scored loads more with 3 at the back with wing backs.
We definitely got lucky today, a mixture of nerves and playing so many matches over the past 3 months with more or less the same 11, is taking its toll now, to be fair, us scabbing a draw tonight, probably makes up for you doing the same to us at the DW in December, a win a piece would have...
That mad time of the season were form goes out the window and panic stations. Top 3 all started playing like Dog and Duck FC last week or so, Sheff Wed only managed 1 goal at home to Crewe, they remain the only team yet to wobble over the last few weeks near the top, their turn to lose Saturday now?
Away to the Invincibles tonight. A ridiculously long run without a win against Ipswich, one of those weird records were despite two teams being fairly similar strength wise for many years, one just cannot lose against the other. Fully expecting another Portman Road loss, think I would rather...
Richardson learned a valuable lesson today. Always focus on the game in front of you. That line up was a disgrace and completely disrespectful to Cambridge. What is the point in focusing in the supposed harder game when you lose the home game?
Bench was stronger and then of the starting 11 we...
Have to win today to stay top as MK Dons have a guaranteed 3 points against AFC Wimbledon who are putting up a great effort for the longest ever without a win in the third tier. MK Dons looking invincible right now with 14 unbeaten and 8 wins out of 9.
3 defeats in a row against Lincoln, whose...
I just don't understand why the Bolton fans can't admit to their team playing badly for once, seemingly intent on believing every time they play a match they are peak Brazil. I expected a lot from Bolton today, considering their good form since January and decent signings but they just simply...
