Discipline

We did not have a single red card this season, and only one last season - surely reflects the measured nature of the manager/coaches that after 2 seasons of high pressure matches, the players keep their heads and focus on the match

The more I consider the key little differences between us and the other clubs around us, the more my admiration for McKenna and his staff grows.

However, be interesting with VAR to see how the players adjust their approach on the pitch, completely different scenarios now when defending set pieces etc. Also not looking forward to the interminable wait between the ball crossing the line and being able to celebrate.

Backroom staff, fitness and upward trajectory.
at 10:00 2 May 2024

I am sure this has been discussed on here already, but I have been thinking about how critical the backroom staff supporting McK and the players have been. Over the whole season I do not feel we have been hugely impacted by what I would consider "niggly" injuries that take players out for 1-2 games, the little strains and pulls. We obviously lost players to bigger injuries such as Hirst and more recently Burns but on the whole the squad has been generally available.

That is not luck, it suggests the level of pre and post match preparation has been very good, as has training stress management - yet another critical component demonstrating how well the club is being run top to bottom.

I've been going to PR for 40+ years, and it has never felt as positive and bouyant as it does now, there is a feeling of stability and trust in the future planning that feels very different to previous upward performance spikes.

My only concern is that every time we have then gone and rebuilt a stand, the bubble has burst and everything has subsequently gone t!ts up . . . .

Penalties
at 15:31 1 May 2024

28% of all penalties awarded in the Championship this season have been for Leicester 13 (Thirteen), Leeds (9) and Southampton (5).

Others with 5 or more penalties are Hull, Brizzle City, Swansea, Sunderland, Coventry and 'Boro.

Not sure what that tells us, but gotta love a stat.

Oh, and Leicester's total is the highest per season I could find on an initial search.

Hull and Coventry
at 08:35 14 Apr 2024

Am I right in thinking that by the time we play Hull and Coventry they could both be out of the playoff reckoning. Question is that if so, does that play in our favour or not, I’m undecided as if they have to go for the points it creates a potential for a more open game versus a more relaxed go out and enjoy it type of thing. Of course I realise all of this is clutching at straws and looking for the slightest positive in any of the last 3 games.
