  1. Whitey, I hesitate to argue with someone with reffing credentials but having looked again at the highlights I still believe: 1 Stephens didn't 'go flying in' but made a very necessary challenge as without it McGinn was through in the penalty area. 2 I still think he gets the ball first (and before McGinn) before catching him. As I said I can see why it wasn't overturned and obviously a high risk challenge but a necessary one. His positioning for the second goal however .................
  2. Actually I thought Stephens does get the ball first, although he obviously catches the man on the follow through. Can definitely see why VAR wouldn't overturn but not a 'clumsy and stupid' tackle
  3. I've also not been to quite as many away games as Frannies Tache and he has every right to his point of view but I thought the Championship Again and Going to Coventry songs were great examples of ironic chanting which cheered me up, and from what I overheard impressed at least a few of the home fans. I'll also admit to applauding the team at the end as a sign of support for the players who I think in the main have tried their best, even though of course it's been nowhere near good enough. One other point we need the players to be fully committed and keen for our remaining games. Hopefully our (new) coaching team will make a difference. Some may think giving the players abuse is the way to motivate them but I believe an arm around the shoulder and some encouragement is a better approach.

    Well 2 nil nil draws will do us.
  5. Not sure I understand the criticism of the subs. Les, Manning and TP were obviously injuries/knocks. Even Downes (on a yellow card) was not moving well before he came off. Dibling for Sulemana should have been ok, but I would agree he was very disappointing
  6. Sorry to put a damper on your excitement/expectation re the lowest top goal scorer record but that I'm pretty sure is 4 ,held by Kenny miller for Derby C in their record breaking 07/08 season. We can still beat it of course but given Tall Paul's effort yesterday I think we may end up with tying the record at best. 😀😀😀😀
  7. We can't be relegated by Palace (game 30) but Spurs could relegate us. Lucky me I've got tickets so I can say 'I was there' when we break the record 😀
  8. Bon chance Valenciennes, et Christophe
  9. Rusk is the only one with an unbeaten record 😀
  10. I agree that he was definitely trying and before his mistake for the goal I would say he (with ABK) was our most effective defensive player. Sloppy passing and not getting back to cover right up there with lack of goals typifies our season. Basically we're SH1T
  11. Even better news it's actually 11 weeks from the ned of the PL season and the start of the 25/26 Championship 😁
  12. Good! Let's hope he scores loads
  13. I wasn't at the Dell but as we were at the University in Nottingham I and a few mates went to the replay and were surprised and delighted when we won, in extra time(iirc). Still wouldn't have dreamt that we were going to end up winning at Wembley.
  14. No, the disaster is 9 points from 24 games is a disaster
  15. I strongly suspect that (possibly frustrated by lack of first team minutes) he has said he won't sign a new contract so it makes sense to sell whilst he has a value.
