Christ, what’s he done to end up in the nick?

He’s dropped Manning, which people have been clamouring for. He’s started Mara, who people have said should be starting ahead of Adams. Downes not fit so no choice but to play Charles as literally no-one else. Not sure what people are expecting? Chucking Meghoma into a game like this against the likes of Diangana would be crazy.

He’s definitely been spoken to and the club have been aware for a short while. He will definitely go if Utd decide they want him and pay the compo.

Oh cunt off.

3-0 up with 2 shots on target. Impressive

You’re right, may as well write off this season now. Then write off next season too, as we’ll lose most of our players. In fact, we’re probably now consigned to be another Stoke / Swansea for the next 10 years. Might even end up going bust.

You beat me to it!

Of course you did. Also interesting you haven’t posted on a match thread since the 1-1 at Watford. And before then… the 1-1 draw against Rotherham. Such a shame you’ve missed all the wins.

Each to their own, I see him as a pound shop Adama Traore at the moment.

What a result that would be with Downes, I was fearing at least rest of this month.

I hope so, that would be a mahoosive blow to WBA. Ideally before Friday.

Anyone else think this was referenced to our third?! I’m a plank.

Baz, KWP, Bednarek, THB, Manning, Charles, Smallbone, Rothwell, Brooks, Mara, AA. Lumley, Stephens, Meghoma, Bragg, Armstrong, Adams, Fraser, Edozie, Sulemana Time for the 8 figure transfer fee man to step up.

Leverkusen 3-0 Bayern Tella with an assist and looked an all round nuisance, good lad. Still makes me laugh Burnley offered £9m.

It would be a great shame to not go up this year, especially as if we carry on as we are the points would be good enough to go up most years. Appreciate everyone is different, but for me I didn’t expect us to be doing as well as we are (playoffs at best was what I thought) - and certainly didn’t think the atmosphere would have turned as positively as it has done. RM has to take credit for that. Let’s hope we can finish the job.

I think Niemi made him look better. Paul Jones, Blayney, Paul Smith very much in his mould.

Think that’s a bit harsh on his pace. Seemed to look just fine for the second goal last night. Plus I’d rather he was pacy with the ball at his feet

This thread has been great.

Hope nothing too serious, get well soon!

When does my COT membership come through?

The most rated underrated player of recent times. Good luck to him, brilliant servant and helped make us tick during our most successful period.

Thanks for sharing @S-Clarke Shows what a disjointed mess things were last season. I don’t get why SR persisted with keeping Ralph at the start when they clearly wanted to go in a different direction. If the higher powers don’t agree on anything then plain to see why we got relegated.

Agreed, think they will win still but they're not playing as well as we are.

The only times he’s looked capable in his career has been when he’s played regularly and had a consistent partner. Bringing him on mid game just doesn’t suit him at all, plus coming on mid game for a CB in general can’t be too easy. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but making him captain has turned out to be a poor choice.
