Steam now well dead... hope we see this out!!

And WBA, and Blackburn... Preference would always be Portsmouth. Leicester really could go bust if they go down and i wouldn't wish that on them tbh.

If they lose this, i really do think they're going down tbh.

One guy on the foxes talk was just relishing that Quarshie had done his ankle ligaments and that playing on was going to make it worse.... So this is a nice bit of justice

Hilarious, had to be Bree.

Ankle ligaments? This game is yet another pitfall that Eckert has walked into eyes wide open. So tedious. This should have been won and put to bed ages ago, Leicester are terrible.

Yeah, we may still fluke it because this Leicester side really are that bad, but honestly, really poor from Eckert imo. Fans don't often forgive chucking in the cups - and this will be one of the worst examples in recent memory.

Think this only ends one way. Eckert basically sent them out to lose - very winnable game so will be poor if we do imo. Also generally, club's made a big song and dance about the 50year anniversary of the cup win, released an extortionate limited edition shirt, and then essentially made no effort to get past the 4th round

Blackburn have just appointed former Northern Ireland manager, Michael O'Neil. I know they're a pretty poor squad, but think that's a very good appointment for them. Certainly has the caliber to make a difference in the relegation fight.

Care to share a link / some quotes? 😄

Fancy we're going to screw with that a bit this season 😏

Spors has done a pretty good job in the transfer market this season, not sure what you guys are so worried about. Jander, Azaz, Scienza, Fellows are all good enough for a prem survival scrap - we'd look at add some extra quality/depth on the wings. If we get promoted then we'll need a new CF for sure. Midfield of Jander, Downes, and Charles could use some strengthening, but its not a bad starting point. Ramsdale and Peretz would both be potential options for the GK spot, and we'll likely look to upgrade at least one CB and add quality at RB/LB.

There is no pressure until we're in 6th. Everything else is failure. After the recent performances i would suggest the team are fully aware that the only option is to win and get into playoffs - so tbh i'm not concerned. They're motivated, playing well and for each other, and starting to believe - and that was the case before Watford, let alone Leicester. The momentum has been building for a few games at this point. and it will take a lot to stop us now... i.e., another Eckert "new manager" pitfall where we try to playing with 9 and a half men (Archer as a target man and a knackered Jander etc) from kick off again. Brainfart's aside, we finally look like a proper championship team - i.e., solid at the back, effective up front, and with the quality to force teams into mistakes and punish them.

Surely not.

He'd be walking into an absolute shit storm and deserves better. That club is poisoned and its a thankless task for whoever goes there - all that lies ahead is cost cutting, wage cuts, and a struggle so survive whilst they weaken the squad iteratively over a couple of windows. I don't want that for Hassenhuttle, all amusements at them signing him (after the 9-0, bertrand, Vestergard) aside.
