Great tackle by Wood.

Fucking idiot.

Stephens off

Yep

It's why Martin likes to keep the ball. The less the other team have the ball the less we will concede.

When you have average Championship defenders it doesn't help, but you also have specific defensive coaches to work with the defenders day in, day out - do we know who they are?

We are so bad defensively - poor players and poor coaching.

Nearly conceded from a long ball out from the back. Who thunk it eh?

Idiots.

OMFG

Scotland...

It's a shame because the last few games we seem to have turned a corner going forward - we just have a very, very poor defense.

What a ball in that is.

Nope

You have no idea what's happened TBF. If he got his head down and played some football I'm sure he'd get a chance.

I imagine we may well see Stephens stepping up into midfield a lot today like on Friday to create a 4-5-1.

TBF, if ABK and Taylor were playing they'd be playing next to each other for the first time as well. ABK is refusing to get game time in the reserves, so he doesn't deserve to get a chance anyway. Taylor has clearly had a run in, or maybe he's not great playing in a Martin system.

I thought it was gonna be worse tbh. That's a sad indictment of what I expect.

Yep, this. The ridiculousness of it all is that no-one has bought Jags with their current branding for the last 15 years, and it's not because they were bad cars - in fact lots of them were excellent. Whenever I've suggested to the wife to get a Jag her reaction has always been along the lines of "I'm not a 65 year old white bloke with gout". And thank fuck for that. However much people hate to think it, they had an image problem. People are now talking about Jaguar more than since they were in F1, and they are looking for a new consumer market, because the old one wasn't buying them. This could be genius, it could be stupid, but only time will tell. However, I know that I'm going to look in the classifieds for some low mileage, late 2013 XKRs or 2022 F Type R's as these will be appreciating in value over the coming years.

And at Rangers - this is bollocks, it's only cos he scored at the weekend against Barca.

Ulrika Jonsson, who claimed she was told that Wallace made a “rape joke” during her time on Celebrity MasterChef, told the Daily Telegraph she felt Wallace's response showed “the arrogance of a man who has zero introspection or self-awareness”. “When he made reference to women of a certain age I was just seething... I was just absolutely wild,” she said. Just like in the 90's eh Ulrika?

He's a prick, and a thoroughly unlikeable barrow boy, but should he be cancelled - unless he's done something criminal, probably not. However, after all this, should he work for the BBC? Probably not. He'll pop up and judge the cooking hour on GB News or Talk TV or whatever those Richard Tice channels are.

If we get relegated, and this is the scary one, our PSR liability for loss reduce to £61m (this season it is £83m rather than the full £105m) over the 3 seasons for last season, this season and next season. That's because in the Championship you are only allowed a loss of £13m. This could mean we may start with a points deduction next season if we are overzealous in our spending this year. That's where you have to be so clever with the accounting periods now.

So the sacking I think goes against this year, dependant on the contract in place (single or phased payoff).

It does, but we spent a lot, have increased wage costs (although not hugely), and the promotion money is variable. We also lost out on the parachute payments. It's a total amount over 3 years (£105m loss - although less for us as we had a season in the Championship) so would take into account the mad spending of 2022-2023 and higher wages of that season, multiple sacked managers etc. I'm unsure if this is fully down to PSR in all honesty as I know we did enquire about Managers post Leicester.
