So let me get this straight. Some time in the future, timescale naturally undefined, they’re going to need a 35k stadium which, to put it into context, would be bigger than those of 9 existing premier league clubs and every club in the championship. It begs the question are they merely mad, raving mad or stark raving mad?

Underlines the ridiculousness of the PP system.

Mitrovic yet to score. Add his second half hat trick and it could get very blue for the blues.

Yes, but those were before they had a 2/3 week break due to postponements. They’ve come back much stronger after their enforced rest.

Agreed. From the starting 11 today we need upgrades on Vyner, COD, King and DaSilva, but the core of competitive `championship team is being to coalesce.

He stopped us getting worse. Before you say we couldn’t get any worse, remember what happened when SOD took over after Mciness. Having steadied the ship and got rid of Downing and Simpson we are now seeing steady improvement in the both our shape and patterns of play. I’ve not got the stats, but I would expect for instance, our pass completion rate has improved, as has our ability to play out from the back. Big games at home against Cardiff, Reading, Birmingham, Posh and Hull are on the horizon. If we take a minimum of 10 points from those 5 games, any remaining relegation worries will dissipate and we can look forward to continuing the rebuild in the summer.

Footballers generally are their prime aged 26-30. Defenders more like 28-32. Goalkeepers 30 plus. That seems to be the perceived wisdom of the “experts”.

Left Centre Back for me.

Does Flint get a 3 game ban for a straight red?

Always look in the bright side of life, dado, dado, dado dado dado

Men against Boys I’m afraid.

I believe the only refusenik is Nakhi Wells. The rest of the squad is fully vaccinated.

Cameron Diaz, yum yum

Nige’s post match interview is going to be interesting. Yes, the ref was awful, but we must learn to take our chances and score a 2nd when we are on top.

Pring is inexperienced and will learn. King should have know better.

QPR has lost both there last two games without scoring. They played yesterday and face a 72 hour turnaround after not playing for 22 days. We’ve had a 12 day break and should be raring to go. I’m not saying will win, but the circumstances are in our favour.

By my calculation £12 million, which is a significant proportion of the losses. But it goes beyond that, because the team and club’s deterioration during COVID was largely due to the absence of fans, The fans have always kept the club on it’s toes both on and off the pitch, The brown stuff would have hit the fan far sooner last season had circumstances been normal.

And having no income from fans for 12 months had nothing to do with the loss?

Apart from the clubs with Parachute payments, none of whom would have the least interest in signing Andi, who are the EFL clubs who have cash to splash? Names on the back of a postage stamp.

19 of the 25.years from 1982 to 2007 were spent in the lower leagues. Of the 15 seasons since then, 13 have been in the Championship. The football’s not great but we’ve been through far worse times.

The Scott at RWB experiment has definitely run its course. Looks like he needs to be rested for a few games before coming back to play in midfield. I though Benarous did okay but don’t understand why he was picked in front of Pring, who looked good when he came on. I would prefer a felt back four with Tanner and Pring either side of Kalas and Atkinson. I would drop both Martin and Vyner and play 5 across midfield with AS up front.

This is a hard watch.

Only 30 mins in an Atkinson is just hoofing it anywhere.

What nobody has told them is that it’s one way only.
