Anyone who is nice and chilled out

They lying!

The Cov game is almost more important than the Huddersfield game, not just that its the next one but there is this nagging knowing feeling that a defeat there is as good as us in the play offs in reality.

Whereas a point, means we need to win our final fixture at home against an already relegated side and its all in our own control.

The difference in consequences between a L or a D is so vast.

I can accept us fudging it up on the last day v Hudds - that would be down to us. There's nothing worse than relying on a result elsewhere however.

Another keeper question and one inspired by Cooper on Life's a pitch
at 20:55 29 Apr 2024

Paul Cooper was on 'Time of our lives' on Sky, was posted on here recently. That programme was at least 10-12 years old and on that he stated he wouldn't have had a career in the 'modern' game

Craig Forrests kicking was the weakest part of his game.

For all the people having a downer on Hladky, both those keepers had errors in them and I don't think anyone can match him with the ball at his feet who has played for Town. I actually think Walton is as good as anyone apart from him.

Not sure whether to feel pssed off or happy with a point. (n/t)
at 22:59 27 Apr 2024

Frustrated that we've had 3 chances (Watford, Boro & Hull) after others have had a poor result and not for lack of effort failed to take advantage.

Happy, that we go to Coventry not needing to win. Regardless of what happens in the next 2, this was our toughest fixture left.

So, incredibly frustrated but not entirely unhappy with the result.

The 0-0 against QPR doesn't look so bad now does it? (n/t)

Especially given the fact Jackson got away with a blatent handball in the dying seconds!

Time McKenna shows his worth.
at 14:01 11 Apr 2024

At no stage have we been 'charging along' this season.

Even when we were 10 points clear of 2nd at one point, 95% of our wins have come from the finest of margins. Apart from Hull, Millwall & Wednesday there has always been just a goal in it.

We totally deserve to be where we are though, half of our defeats could have gone the other way.

Your post seems like its just a bit of a frustration at the last couple of games coming out, I get it - last night it was dissapointing not to take advantage. Having rewatched the highlights, we more than did enough to win the game in the first half.

Farke kidding himself that a point was a good result tonight. (n/t)

If we found ourselves in a play off final with them you would hope that McKenna is intelligent enough (and I think he is) to slightly tinker how we play and try to hit them on the break more.

OK - I can't stop looking at the table. I'm not alone?

The fact that Ipswich do 'crushing disappointment' so well is the worrying thing!

Also mentally I had settled for the playoffs for a while, now things have got very real all of a sudden.

Love Chappers, but he is 'almost' as good as Eric Gates was at trying to con the ref into giving fouls.

Who was cheering Leicester on in their game against Leeds then? (n/t)
at 19:17 2 Mar 2024

Leeds not winning would have put us in a better short term position. But as consolation prizes go, bringing Leicester back within 3 points when they had been 18 ahead is a nice one.

If Leicester genuinely do choke, 2 into 4 is obviously better odds than 1 into 3

How many TV matches are we on course for this season?!
at 21:21 29 Feb 2024

All good for the profile of the club.

This is what getting out of league 1 meant. It really was no mans land down there, the longer we were there the lower our standing in the game got. No one talks about you much.

Seems an inevitability really....
at 14:31 28 Feb 2024

If Davis went for £8m then Ashton needs removing pronto haha

£15m guaranteed + add ons minimum.

Whilst the rest of the squad are indeed more 'sum of parts' I reckon Hirst, Broadhead and Chappers would all go for 2x 3x what we paid for them.

Was thinking about watching Maidstone tonight....
at 21:42 26 Feb 2024

Reminds me of when Colchester famously beat Leeds and then got honked 5-0 by Everton.

You need almost everything to go your way to cause an upset and you very rarely get that 2 rounds in a row.

Coventry 0-3 down to Preston
at 22:17 23 Feb 2024

I think Cov & Hull are better sides over a season so i'm not worried (even if they have beaten both)

It IS important our feathered friends avoid the play offs though. We need them to start competing without parachute payments.

Leicester have thrown this one away
at 22:06 23 Feb 2024

Leeds have beaten us twice and Leicester twice, are on an 9 game winning streak and yet we win tomorrow and we go level and 6pts behind Leicester.

Team Vs Birmingham

It's not impossible, we've played it under him before.

It's not like we don't evolve our style from time to time and adapt.

Thought the crowd were excellent last night
at 15:16 21 Feb 2024

I thought the opposite, we had played risky football up until the 35th minute but had managed to create 5 chances. After that the crowd idiotically got nervous everytime and we started to go longer and longer to no great effect.

Might need a McKenna intervention to remind a % of our fans inside PR that this is how we play.
