Without decisions like these. What a complete shambles, what was clear and obvious about that? The ref watched it 10 times and still looked like he was tossing a coin. Johnson first yellow was ridiculous.
Absolute farce. Bunch of c***s. |

Frank Lampard’s Coventry v Michael Carrick’s Boro final day will be fun, assuming Boro dispatch of the also rans tomorrow.
Said also rans could send Cardiff down on the final day too (if their fate isn’t already sealed tomorrow). Who joins them? Luton, Derby, Hull? Maybe even Oxford with a horrible final day trip to in form Swansea if they lose to Sunderland tomorrow.
In L1 I’d like to see Charlton win at Wrexham tomorrow to take that to the final day, Wrexham then have Lincoln away who could be party poopers.
Plenty to play for at the bottom of L1 and both ends of L2 as well.
Way more entertaining end to the season than the premier league. |

Thread | Liam Delap
at 16:58 24 Apr 2025
Ole Ole.
I've resigned myself to losing him in the summer and still think that's most likely, but are we sure this £30m clause is legit?. Ashton said we're 'very very very well protected' (3 x very's no less) with regards to his contract. I'm not sure £30m would meet that definition.
McKenna has said twice now in recent pressers that's its possible Delap stays here. I guess its possible the clause exists and he still decides to stay, and I wouldn't necessarily expect him to come out and say he's off, but we seem to be taking the £30m figure as gospel from the media when as far as I know nobody has officially confirmed it? |

Thread | The squad
at 15:36 23 Apr 2025
For differing reasons e.g. ability, potential, age profile, form etc I put the squad in the following buckets of importance. Some debatable ones here I'm sure, but I'm coming at it more along the lines of difficulty to replace and potential to be real differentials for us next season.
We'll lose some but ideally a maximum of 2 from Tier 1 for me, and perhaps 2 from Tier 2. If we've got 10 of those 14 fit and firing here next season its the basis of a really good squad and a decent level of continuity. Ideally retain half of Tier 3, I wouldn't lose any sleep over the Tier 4.
Add 6 or so including loanees who can slot into 1 & 2 and we're cooking.
Tier 1: Delap, Hutchinson, Philogene, O'Shea, Davis.
Tier 2: J. Clarke, Szmodics, Greaves, Tuanzebe, Hirst, Broadhead, Burns, Chaplin, Johnson.
Tier 3: Burgess, Woolfy, Palmer, Ogbene, Townsend, Taylor, Humphreys, Morsy, H.Clarke.
Tier 4: Walton, Muric, Luongo, Al-Hamadi, Baggot, Harness

Thread | That was really disappointing
at 19:34 5 Apr 2025
Not just the result, I thought the performance was so flat. Barely created anything, can count on 1 hand the number of times we strung a few passes together or even threatened any cohesive patterns. There’s been times this season when we can feel the result is a bit unjust, today wasn’t one of them. 2-1 didn’t flatter them at all, it could’ve been more.
I can live with the result, but another home game where we’ve been very meek and given the opposition far too much respect for me.
Really poor performance, one of the worst this season. We were going down regardless of the outcome today but we barely laid a glove on them.
Hey ho, time to look forward to next season. |

Great win. Thought we showed a lot of character, had to really dig in late on against a good side. 1st win of 2025, gets us to the 20 point milestone. Clearly won't be enough to keep us up but we've not had back to back wins all season which we've got a chance to achieve on Saturday.
Lets see if we can get to 30 points and go down swinging. |

Thread | Balancing the here and now vs. the next season...
at 11:48 2 Apr 2025
I would imagine there's going to be focus on finishing 3rd bottom. 1) its an additional £3m+ of prize money and 2) its not impossible that 18th would survive on some technicality, although I don't really want that. 17 points isn't the fault of the other cheats, we're going down on merit.
All that said when will we start looking to next season with our selection? Giving Hirst a run of starts given Delap is likely to leave? Taylor too, he'll benefit us more next season than those who wont be here. Chaplin is another one now he's back fit, he's had a bit of a nothing season for 1 reason or another, I would like to see him start the last 6 or so and see if he can find his mojo a little before next season. I'd absolutely love to see him scoring goals in a Town shirt again. |

Thread | Musings for next seasons squad
at 11:36 16 Mar 2025
Palmer, Walton, U21
Johnson, Clarke, O’Shea, Woolfy, Burgess, Davis, Townsend
Taylor, Morsy, Humphreys
Hutchinson, Burns, Ogbene
Broadhead, Chaplin
Szmodics, Clarke, Philogene
Hirst
Departures: Axel (regrettably), Delap for big dough. I would accept selling Greaves if we can get the sort of money we paid out and get Burgess tied down on a longer deal. Muric, AAH, Harness, Luongo. Phillips, Cajuste, Enciso, Godfrey loan departures. Slicker or Walton perhaps given they both take a squad place. I think it’s possible Hutchinson goes as well if we get a good offer, but I’d love to see him stay.
Need to strengthen in CM & up front. 2 or 3 choice loan additions, otherwise we hopefully don’t need to do too much depending on finances. I would be very happy with that squad and back McKenna to get us purring in the championship next season. |
