Think this is the biggest game of the season. Win and we should really be ok, 7 points above Huddersfield with 5 games left. Not sure they'll make that up even if we lose all of the rest. If we lose, then we really don't deserve to stay up anyway!

I think the reason for the 18 month contract might be that Aldridge will now have 3 windows to clear out and bring in younger, quicker players before they then go for the pretty football route again. They've realised that the players can't compete playing that way under Edwards, so will take...

Has anyone else ever managed in league 2, league 1 and the championship in the same season before? Might need Whisky for this.

Don't envy him though with BNC, Hutch, Bryan, Longman, Emakhu, Nisbet and Obafemi all unavailable.

It's a very 'last season' lineup! Was just thinking, if we ever have all 11 of our new signings fit at the same time, we could actually be a pretty decent outfit 😂

It's strange that away from home, we've somehow become more negative than under Rowett. Not sure if anyone's said it, but last 5 away games (going back to Stoke in Decmber) have yielded a combined total of 6 shots on target!

It's strange that we've bid at the same time as getting in Tanganga. Imagine if we get both and have a back 5 of Cuffey, Cooper, Cresswell, Tanganga and Bryan. No excuses for not keeping a clean sheet every game, ha.

Bring on the Jedward revolution!!

I think getting Sarkic back fit will be key. If he breaks down again by January, I'd be inclined to go for someone else on loan to the end of the season. I'd then go for a ball playing centre back, in the vein of Cresswell and another left back to cover Bryan's constant injuries. If we have...

I think Jones would be a safe but uninspiring appointment. Unlikely much would actually change than what we had under Rowett. I'd get it if the board wanted some continuity, but after being starved of any flair or excitement since pre-covid, I'm all for taking a risk on someone like Muscat. Not...

If Jones is the man, then it's pretty much like for like with Rowett. 5-3-2 with no possession and long balls over the top. Could have fans on his back early on unless he wins the majority of games with it.

Just set up all wrong today. If we're going to have Long in the team to smack it upfield, we either need a target man up front with quick runners in behind or play two up front so someone can pick up on a flick. Lumping up to Bradshaw on his own will never work!

I know for a fact that he was looking to move back to a Midlands club last season. Not sure if he's changed his mind on that now but I think if West Brom offered him the job he'd take it. Wouldn't begrudge him the move, I'm happy with what he's done for us and almost 4 years at a club is a long...

Bart Danny, Hutch, Murray, Styles Shackleton, Mitchell, Honeyman Flemming Bradshaw, Afobe

Think I'm finally done with Cooper at the back. All he can do now is head the ball. Can't tackle, can't pass. Also can tell they're going for Murray with his lack of pace. Flemming, take a bow but other than him and maybe Danny Mac, we've been woeful.

That's the plus point for our season so far. It's 4 defeats, but 3 of them against Sheff Utd, Burnley and Norwich. Our season won't be defined by these games.

Yeah nothing to do with the results. He basically called his squad rubbish, told them he had no confidence in them and then publicly slated his boss to the media. His position was immediately made untenable at that point.

Malone does have very poor positioning though throughout games. Seen far too often that he's standing completely off the pitch waiting for the ball to be played to him. Really doesn't seem to be a tactic working in his favour.

I make that 2 half time premonitions for you in a row Robbo!

Kinet, Fabbrini, Hooiveld, Gueret are a few that come to mind. All appreciated whilst they played for us.
