  1. There was probably a change to who had the rights for international broadcast. The streaming sites you are referring to are illegal and not to be used as a barometer of what Sky can and cannot do!
  2. I saw enough at Brighton to think that on our day we could beat any team in this division. The way we play, with the amount of chances we seem to both create and concede, I suspect our results will continue to be something of a lottery this season.
  3. I doubt it's Sky's fault, obviously they wouldn't turn down another revenue stream, it's probably an international broadcast rights issue. To echo others, I stream Now TV (via my Apple TV) and it's a very good way to watch without shelling out for a Sky Sports contract. Streaming via Apple is the only way you can get it in HD though, for those of you that care about such things.
  4. Were you at the game? The "I told you so" brigade are fully justified today. A goal was increasingly inevitable as the half went on and we were lucky it didn't come soon enough for them to get a second.
  5. If Lansdown was willing to spend £9m on a further striker then he clearly there is absolutely no financial pressure to sell one for a similar figure. I cannot see Kodjia going anywhere.
  6. I think there is actually an argument to say that we've lost a lot of points by being far too gung-ho. Not saying we sit back necessarily, but we need to be better at protecting leads - and if that means 11 men behind the ball, so be it.
  7. Why are you saying things like this with 40 minutes of the match remaining?
  8. You mean compared to our last away game, when it was also 0-0 at half time?
  9. 38 games to go. 114 points to play for. Endless final league table permutations. Any team could still be promoted or relegated. So can we please stop quoting Preston and Rotherham scores.
  10. Is it the usual "caught on the break" stuff, or are we just under pressure?
  11. I find it ironic how we criticise anyone's attendances ever, given our average attendances over the years relative to the population of the city. But that's a discussion for another day. Anyone able to summarise how we're playing so far?
  12. What bothers me most is that thanks in large to our disastrous summer recruitment, we have completely wasted the momentum built up during one of our most successful seasons ever. Competing against bigger clubs with bigger budgets, that momentum was one of the few cards we had in our hand that others didn't, and it's gone already. Already we look like what we are; one of the smaller fish in the pond.
  13. So we're 21st after today's results. Probably fair to say performances have been better than 1 win in 6, but I have to say if someone offered me 21st now I would take it. With 27k seats to fill next season, survival has never been more important to this club, so even if the squad is capable of more, I would still bite your hand off just to be in this division next season.
  14. Doesn't mean it was gifted though. I just hate how any goal we concede is entirely our fault, and any goal we score is entirely our own brilliance. Two teams playing.
  15. Gifted? Two very good corners whipped in with pace and precision, difficult to defend against. Not saying we couldn't have done better but any chance we might recognise that goals we concede are not always entirely our own fault? If we'd have scored those, we'd all be saying what a great corner and a great header.
  16. I'm pretty certain Burnley were trying. They neutralised us very effectively, which was all they needed to do in the second half.
  17. Did we switch off, or was it two exceptionally good corners and two good finishes? Conceding goal is not always about what the defending team did wrong.
  18. Great stuff as ever Havana. Expecting goals today. We are terrifyingly open at home. 2-2 draw.
