Congrats mate. Well deserved, best team in the league, though I’d like to think we’re 2nd best.
Benrahma will definitely go, as he was promised he could go last year if we didn’t go up, but he’ll go to a bigger team I’d assume, and for more cash than you’d likely be willing / able to pay...
Butland didn’t play - our defence was pretty good Stoke had very little. I thought we were pretty poor offensively, didn’t create much at all. Brilliant season for us, too many 1-0 defeats to teams with only 1 or 2 shots on target, a lot of that is bad luck (the Birmingham game will haunt me...
We’ve gone off the boil a bit, and lost 3 players to injuries today. Not great for our push but if we pick up a couple of wins in our next couple of games it’ll all be alright again.
Blackburn at the weekend now a massive game.
We got battered by Leeds on Tuesday, hopefully we can bounce back with a better performance on the weekend but Birmingham seem to have found some form.
I’m just hoping we hold on to everyone (no noise so far - though when we sell it’s usually late in the window). If we can add another striker that would be great but happy with what we’ve got.
I hope so, I really hate the playoffs.
We’ve tended to be really streaky, so once our amazing run at the moment does end we might go on a little winless run and fall back further behind again.
This is definitely the best team we’ve had, but we’ve been lucky with injuries so far (Canos aside)...
Haven’t been on here in ages, seems so dead after the name change.
Anyway, main rumour for us today is Emre Mor, a striker currently on loan with Galatasaray. Doesn’t seem to have ever set the world alight but moved to Dortmund for £8m at one point, and Celta Vigo for £11m once, so there should...
Blackburn away, would be great to get another win as it may be enough to get us into the Top 6 at least temporarily. We're top of the form table at the moment, so hoping we can keep it going as we tend to follow up a loss with more losses!
We'll probably make a couple of changes, as we've been...
This.
You may have been debt free when the takeover happened, but if you were still debt free now, and weren’t overspending, it would have been relatively simple to take out a small loan to cover any cash flow issues.
The only way you can realistically be in this mess now is if you are still...
Only 2 points off the play offs now - shame about our terrible start, but we seem to have got it together a little earlier this year. Definitely a lot better defensively which was what we needed to challenge.
