    Why can't you just show Lincoln City some respect and say they were the better team and Lincoln had more players missing than Sunderland! Why do Sunderland fans have to find excuses whenever they lose and never, ever credit the opposing team as if it's Sunderlands define right to win every game...

    No midweek game for us after Fleetwood refused to play despite having over the number of players required. EFL said it was fine too. Will be interesting to see how they now respond if enough pressure is put on them because if you don't play despite not meeting the criteria then surely it is...

    Wouldnt be surprised if he comes home to Wigan for the rest of the season, Swansea owe us one big time, so would make sense.

    Given next season continues to play during the tournament, the EFL cannot use that as an excuse not to extend the season, as the tournament has no effect on League One whatsoever. Sadly the EFL are totally incompetent. The rule they made for the postponements is a joke, teams should have been...

    Accrington game off now after 8 players tested positive this morning after last nights game, so I would expect Shrewsbury Sheff Wed to go too, after they played an Accrington team riddled with it. Dont see how we can fulfill the seasons fixtures now unless the season is extended.

    Boxing Day Games

    I don't get why Cheltenham have Crowley and Joseph on the bench, two players with Championship quality. Also I've noticed Joseph a proper fox in the box forward has been used a lot as Wing back. The tools are there but for some reason not being used?

    Yeah, 12m upfront for a player with only League One experience. Lookman went for close to 11m and Delph in 2009 went for 8.5m. What a player goes for isnt necessarily what they are truly worth it is what a club is willing to sell for, no League One player is worth anywhere near 5m+ without...

    The new variant of Covid

    Sounds like that was the case for the old variant but the new sounds highly contagious, we had no cases the morning of the Saturday game when we played a team hit by an outbreak, 2-3 days later now most of our squad has it, dont see how else so many so soon after that game could have got it...

    Is it time for a 'Managerial Merry go round' thread?

    I think the Ipswich squad is unbalanced and at this point certainly not the best in the league. They signed a top striker in Bonne and have 2 very good back ups. They also signed some top centre midfielders for this level but then for attacking midfielders they signed about 5/6 number 10s and...

    Got to agree I think top 9 now for the top 6 unless Charlton or Ipswich go on a proper mad run. The next 6 weeks will define the season one way or other for autos. The top 2 could potentially be 5 points ahead GD being a point if Wigan beat Morecambe in the game in hand. Add into that the tip 2...

    I think away from home it's more needed if we keep 4-2-3-1 but at home we haven't played as well and have scraped a lot of wins due to individual ability late on. Go 3-4-3 at home and stretch teams and with an interchangeable front 3, we will cause teams problems and if we fix our home form soon...

    I actually dont think a striker is that missed, we are still scoring goals throughout the whole team, I think after being rock solid defensively for the first 15 games or so we have started to get sloppy at the back, dont get why our best centre half in Kerr is sat on the bench. We certainly...

    Is it time for a 'Managerial Merry go round' thread?

    I think Ipswich don't know what they fully want and that is a problem. Several of the players signed really don't look like Cook players. So if you had the manager signing players and a DoF type signing different players, how are you going to piece them together in a starting 11? They either...

    Yeah it did look a bit soft. Not sure from my angle whether there was a bit of a clip or not but yeah the reaction was nuts and should have seen him seen off. Had he just walked away from the initial decision nothing at all would have happened and the free kick was well inside our half so hardly...

    Was Chaplin, had a full on meltdown. Was pretty bizarre really as it was a challenge initially around the half way line that wasn't leading to any danger, but desperately tried to get sent off. First time in 18 months Richardson has criticised officials that I can remember but they were...

    Trevor Kettles Tractor Boys. Not sure how violent conduct punishment is a talking too? Surely if you lose your head and stamp on someone, having already just got booked for a foul and gone right upto the linesman and mouthed off, somehow stays on the pitch. Also a perfectly good goal disallowed...

    Lump on Ipswich. For some reason we are resting several key players and playing a formation that doesn't work at home. Really can't understand that line up.

    Ipswich at home, we haven't beaten them in a very long time. They are 8 in a row against us and our home performances with 4-2-3-1 don't fill me with much confidence, so Ipswich will get their usual win probably. Need to switch to 3-4-3 at home, to give us more width to open up teams, we are...

    Sometimes it is better to say nothing at all then say something stupid, Robinson has really fucked up with his comments. Oxford played 120 mins midweek, got a few injuries and clearly didn't fancy it today. Scientists all over the world have repeatedly said it takes several days of being...
