The relevance will not be decided before we meet unless Ipswich score a hatful against Coventry and wipe out the GD. They could still lose their last game even if they beat Coventry. I appreciate it is unlikely but stranger things have happened. Although irony would suggest that if Ipswich were bea...

Didn't realise that Rene was being linked as head coach!!!!

That would be really interesting.

The guys highly respected by people like Marco Rose and Thomas Tuchel.

Would be really interested seeing how he does as head coach.

We've dropped points against 9 of the bottom half.

7 of those away from home.

If we lose promotion it's those games that will do it.

Just in the last month 3 times, turn one of those games into a win and its a very different scenario atm.

Could be a meaningless kick about between 2 teams who bottled automatic with the huge budgets and star players. Could be our most important game of the season where we just need to match Ipswich to secure promotion. The its highly highly highly likely the relevance will be decided before we meet Tal...

Ephron Mason Clarke already signed for Cov.

Happy with that in only my second season playing Fantasy League football.

You've charged up the table

Very respected in the footballing world it seems.

But he was working under an idiot here (who he blatantly couldn't stand).

So it's hard judging him at all based on his time here.

But he's worked for some big clubs so must have something about him

Going back to our coach. If those who want Farke sacked, who replaces him & are we going to better off with a new man in charge? Highly likely imo! Leeds under Don Revie were not promoted in his first season. Belisa didn't get Leeds up in his first season. Farke's Norwich were not promoted in h...

Absolutely not. See my posts above on Meslier. He’s a decent enough young keeper, nothing more, nothing less. Talk of anything north of £25M is pie in the sky for me. You rely on stats heavily, hence my tongue in cheek comment. He’s the 4th best statistically, but got a chance of winning the golden...

Do you hand on heart think he is the best goalie in the league though? Because thats the implication.

He isn't

We've done it 21 times incidentally

7 times since 1945 for Villa is the same amount of times we've done it in the bloody Premier League.

Now look where we are and they are.

Depressing

Rather strange turn of events. Illan Meslier is guaranteed to win the Championship Golden Glove for most clean sheets. Admittedly with an usually low total as over the last , 9 seasons its been rare to win it with less than 20 clean sheets, Mes can get 19 at most. He is also statistically the 4th wo...

Really really difficult. In context Archie has been immense because of his age because he's been asked to play in unfamiliar positions all season and because of how much football he's been forced into playing. He's been asked to do much much more than is normal for any talented 17/18 year old even t...

You need to learn the art of psychology

Change the poll title to

"Is Bielsa overrated"

Then more will view the post and then votes will come

I don't see a problem with us tactically. For basically all of this season we have been chasing Ipswich and Leicester and have been having to try to force the issue in matches. Given that we wouldn't need to force anything in the play-offs our way of playing could be very effective, dominate posses...

Some big successes: Firpo (never thought I'd say that) Struijk Raphinha Bamford Gnonto Summerville Alioski Rodrigo? Georginio? Adams? Harrison? Saiz? Failures: Meslier Kristensen De Bock Koch Llorente Wober? Douglas Roca JKA Forshaw Roberts James? Not all bad and some real gems there. But also some...

Playoffs are basically knockout football.

They can often be decided by special individuals and talent.

If that's the case we have a good chance.

If its decided by in game management and tactical battles we are in trouble.

Anyway we could be promoted by this time next week

Is this a debate about in general or whose left?

Apart from James and to a lesser degree Firpo (all be it a £13mil full back at this level is phenomenally expensive).

Possibly right.

In general he spent a fortune on quite a lot of crap.

I can also drink coffee and eat cake- he is just a big timer. Sacking Farke having achieved 90 points is a ridiculous concept in my opinion. Do I think he is untouchable - No. if we do not go up I would be hugely surprised if he is not in charge next season. Although the board will expect nothing l...
