  1. That’s the season done isn’t it? 7th Feb. 1 win in 10. Roll on the Euros I guess but what an abject season, all stemming from a weak-willed board.

  2. 3 out and 2 in as we name one 8 subs rather than 9. Pring and TGH are suspended and Nelson loses his place, perhaps playing for the unders? Backwell and OTC take spots on the bench. 
     

    SOS boys (save our season..). COYR.

    This.

    We've seen plenty of clubs our size and smaller become established in the Premier League, and seen a few of those go on to win major trophies (Wigan, Swansea, and Birmingham to name a few).

    IMO, this is the top end limit of what we could realistically achieve as a football club. Therefore, this should be our aim.

     

    Yea I see this as our ceiling*. Doesn't take much digging to realise an awful lot of clubs have lifted at least one major (albeit many 50+ years ago when there was less of a gap to the 'big teams'). Would very much like us to join them!

     

    *Without Man City/Chelsea esque takeover.

  4. Trophies, that's the measure of any football club. I dream of seeing us win our first major honour in my lifetime. In the current format, that could only feasibly be a League Cup or FA Cup. So, get promoted, stay up, build a middling Prem squad (see Fulham, Brentford, Brighton), then go one step further and take advantage of a kind cup run to lift one of the domestic competitions.

    All that said, I'm nearly 30 and am yet to see us lift anything. JPT in 2003 I was too small to take an interest, and the double in 2014-15 I was at ******* uni. Don't stay in school kids. So, I just want to see us break my personal duck asap.

    Who takes Prings place for Notts Forest ?

     

    Can only be Roberts one would think. Be interesting if we revert to a back 4 for that reason, I’m unaware if Roberts plays wing-back or not. I’d imagine he can.

    PNE 3-1 Ipswich Keiffer Moore header..

    Huddersfield 4 goals in 12 mins against Wednesday

     

    Don’t like either club but hold on PNE. Ipswich going close to promotion then falling into financial despair under Ashton would be so, so beautiful. We tried to warn them, they weren’t having it!

    Playing in the 10 role.

    From their forum;

    "Stokes will be benched soon, doesn't seem the same last 4 games since Bristol City move."

    Wouldn’t blame him for holding a little back, we need him healthy come summer ready for a big pre-season. Very excited to see him in red.

    For Forest:

    Mebude - ineligible (not registered in time)

    Twine - cup-tied (even if fit)

    TGH - yellow card suspension

    Pring - yellow card suspension

    Dave I’ve had a rough evening as is man 🤣

  9. One win in nine, come on Liam. That’s below par. I knew Leeds were good, I didn’t realise the gap was THAT big. Sad eye opener. One more game to save the season (for now), Forest away. Everything crossed…

    Few bumps and bruises but nothing too scary.

  10. No new outs and no new ins. Same 20 from Tuesday night. Dire Mebude not yet eligible after his deadline day signing. I hate playing Leeds…

    Hope it works, but just to make the point that Tammy hadnt been discarded by a major epl club when we took him on loan.

    Yea his ceiling is likely below Tammy's (incoming jokes about his living situation) but everyone has to start somewhere. Also - Chelsea moved on a young Salah and KDB. Club's get it wrong A LOT. Hyperbolic example but you get my point :D
