Eric The Red

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

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. 😀😀😀😀

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 😀

Bon chance Valenciennes, et Christophe

Rusk is the only one with an unbeaten record 😀

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

Even better news it's actually 11 weeks from the ned of the PL season and the start of the 25/26 Championship 😁

Good! Let's hope he scores loads

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.

No, the disaster is 9 points from 24 games is a disaster

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.

Even if er got 0 points in our next six games it's incredibly unlikely that we will be relegated in March because there are 9 games (27 points) scheduled for April and May. Sorry to disappoint

Or if you've got SKY, or probably even Freeview, you can find it in your channels listings. Mug that I am, I won't be watching on the telly, I'll be at St. Mary's.

The Sheff U Cardiff game was on BBC Wale, watched approximately 2 minutes of it.

Amazingly my Supercomputer has come up with the same prediction with a 99.5% probability. 1 in 200 chance Leicester also collapse AND get a points deduction 😀

I think 7 points from those 7 games is a reasonable target for us, a vast improvement on the first 16 games but not really enough to say The Great Escape in on. Get 10+ from that 7 however and I might start to have some hope.

I think your 'explanation' is pretty conclusively wrong

Well there's a few problems with your explanation Turkish. The main one is that the only horse I can find that's called Ivan's hero runs on the flat in Australia, and that's definitely not the horse wearing the No 1 in the picture which is running in the colours of Mr T G Leslie, yellow with grey sleeves and royal blue seams. The colours of the second horse is red and white. By the way the obstacle they are jumping is a fence not a hurdle. So nice try but overall a bit of a fail.

I would say we were 99% down last night. I think Juric doubles our chances of staying up to the dizzying heights of 1 chance in 50! 😁

VAR should have got involved if the ref missed a sending off offence. Haven't seen it back yet myself though

The picture is most likely Minella Trump ridden by Brian Hughes leading Fifty Ball ridden by Jamie Moore. Minella Trump is owned by T G Leslie and trained by D McCain. None of the above leads me to any(feasible) manager/head coach I know

Exactly, The MoTD analysis shows we were basically robbed by a totally inept (at least) referee and VAR

There will be at least one 'shock' in the 8 matches. Let's hope it isn't us!

First game back today after an operation in the Summer

Yes very sad news, I always thought Bob gave a pretty measured view of things, though I'd agree with a bias towards Saints. That was OK by me though as I'm biased towards Saints as well!
