Bodo/Glimt beating Atlético Madrid in Madrid after beating Man City is the story of the round.

Make it through to the playoffs.

The issue with Buonanotte may depend on DF and how much he uses him. The kids only played about 6 matches worth of minutes in 8 months. He won't be match sharp and the only way to get that back is generous minutes, not 5-10 minutes every so often.. So much may depend on DF on how successful this ...

I do think Ipswich would be a good move for Joel. Farke isnt going to use him rightly or wrongly. Piroe can score goals in the Championship, Ipswich are almost certainly getting promoted and Mckenna has shown a willingness to use his players from the previous season in the Prem. Can understand Joel ...

I would say Piroe is a very good player but limited, high quality is pushing it a bit, especially at the level we're at now. We haven't got £50m to £100m players coming off our bench, as is the case with majority of PL clubs, hopefully that will change as we evolve as a club. Would you have the s ...

I think he would’ve had the ball arrived without taking a nick off the defender, it would’ve arrived a split second earlier. His left foot had just planted on the ground as the ball came. Fair point. Is also the fact JFH was a much better player than DCLA (certainly as a goalscorer) so maybe Jimmy i ...

I don't understand why Piroe doesn't deem that a viable option right now.

In case they don't presumably.

He turned down Premier league clubs to join us.

Presume he feels like he's earned his chance.

Sounds like Pascal could have left in the summer I had some options to leave, but that didn't happen. This has had to do with several parties. From my side, there was something I would like to do. But the three parties: me, the club and the other club should all come out eventually. If that doesn't ...

Jimmy had his say on the DCL chance.

“Can you open your body up and take it with your left foot, you have a bigger chance of scoring.

“I must say, he takes it toepoking, but I would have rather seen him open his body up and take it with his left foot.”

So it's better to be sh*t and then exceed low expectations? You have to look at the bigger picture, something lots of fans don't do. Like when we had Bielsa and for a long time overachieved. Then some fans turned on him when we weren't able to keep overachieving and they weren't interested in the ...

Often unfairly by armchair managers. To be fair to Lampard even if they slumped and ended up in the play-offs it would still be a decent season based on realistic aspirations at the start of the season. Would it though? Expectations change as the season progresses. Is the Leicester manager expected ...

Football fans eh

Every manager gets criticised.

Nature of the beast

He will be hammered though if Cov get caught.

Have a look at these MOTM links, unsure if you are getting confused with Bijol's performances Bornauw five starts Sheff Wed https://www.motforum.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=48365 Liverpool https://www.motforum.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=48995 Manure https://www.motforum.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=49007 ...

Many teams would rather have CC apparently

They’ve only lost 3 of their last 10, or, if you prefer , lost only 5 all season. Like Weasel, I’m no Lampard fan, but that’s harsh from the Coventry fans. Exactly. 3 of the last 10 2 of the previous 19. May seem harsh but fans are seeing a drop in form I suppose and a gap being closed quickly.

Motm table I meant?

I can't find them but hasn't he been top 6 every start?

Dutch media (the same one JP did an interview with few weeks ago) reporting Ipswich made a permanent proposal for Joel.

He has for now turned them down as he simply doesn't want to go back to the Championship

It does. It puts us a point nearer to a total that will hopefully be enough to stay up. It is all about us as if we keep going along at a point per match, on average, till the end of the season then we finish on 41. Whilst mathematically that may not guarantee survival it should do. So would us ...
