Updated after the Forest vs City game.

Next weekend is pivotal.

Luton will see their game as a massive opportunity, Forest will see theirs as a must win and we will hope to at least keep the status quo.

Goody1975

We haven't seen enough of him at this level, he had a few dodgy moments at the start of the season. He was excellent in a possession based team at Championship level but we are never going to dominate games to the same extent in the Premier League. Our centre halves need to be comfortable on the bal...

"That is Jack Grealish's knee in ice"

Yes, caused by his own stupidity

exactly this

On another note, I don't remember seeing City play this badly

I think the real Bernardo Silva has been abducted by Aliens, this version has been rank.

Goody1975

Grealish dangling his leg out to initiate contact and risks getting injured, eventually it will happen and he will regret it.

Goody1975

Forest should lose against City (but we've seen what happened tonight) and then we are relying on them not getting maximum points at Bramall Lane.

The problem is that the door could be left ajar for Luton as well as us.

Assuming this is now a three horse race for the final spot in the safety zone, then the table has been adjusted to just show ourselves, Luton and Forest.

Without muric we’d have lost that game. Fact

Teams playing without a goalkeeper would be at a serious disadvantage, so I completely agree with you.

Goody1975

My advice is to look at the ratings of the balanced posters, who you have respect for and ignore the ones you think are morons.

Goody1975

Another emphatic one just up the road as well.

Goody1975

Muric 8 MOM - Should be a nine but a couple of sloppy moments cost him a point, he has to be the MOM, without him we don't win the match. Assignon 7 - Going forward he's decent but diving in for their goal shows his defensive weakness. Just stand up, you've done the hard work!!! O 'Shea 8 - Excellen...

RIP Taffy He reffed a school game me and Goody played in, he was brilliant with us and what an honour it was for us young lads (I think we were 15 at the time) Sad news indeed I also got chance to play against him in the Burnley Sunday League, think he turned out for a few weeks for the Dugdale Arm...

Goody1975

For us to be successful as a side at this level we need balance. Even though people turned their noses up at him playing right midfield, Vitinho gave us balance, we seem to have stepped away from this in recent weeks by trying to shoehorn Foster and Fofana in together. A more pragmatic number 10 in ...

Safe standing is great but not so for children or people of smaller height or even for some elderly.

Neither was the top corner of the old Longside.

So the PGMOL are saying that Madley isn't up to the standard required?

All the group one referees should be the elite.

Goody1975

We've been hammered by all the top sides but with the exception of Arsenal, their fans have never taken the ****. The rest know we don't swim in the same pool as them.

Who put the ball in the Burnley net?

Tinpot big club, they have a weird bunch of fans.

How bad can his performances get before we call Lyle out? I think he's been poor for a few months now but today was a whole new level. Whether it's mental or physical, he simply isn't fit to play at the moment. I can accept a lack of quality or a poor performance, but I can't accept a lack of effor...

Give me this season any day of the week over some of the Championship campaigns prior to Coyle arriving. The football was at times equally hard to watch as it has been this season but with a threadbare squad and an annual black hole to fill with player sales. We have been spoilt for a long time and ...

Goody1975

No guarantees long term but even with a changeover of playing staff, there should enough in the squad to see us challenging at the top end of the table.

That makes it a value for money purchase as it stands.

Last weekend we were 1-0 down with ten men, the second half was excellent.

We have played well enough to get something out of this, a bit of faith is required.

Have you clicked on the play icon next to the episode number, rather than trying to go through a podcast host e.g. Spotify?

The came out and said it was one of 2 clear errors this season

Yes but they overturned a goal, that is the error, and a gigantic one at that.

The 'clear and obvious error' I am talking about is the protocol for overturning the decision in the first place.

Goody1975

The PGMOL literally apologised for the Berge handball and came out and said it was one of two decisions that was 100% incorrect this season They apologised as they recognised it was wrong, there was also a justification to say it hit his arm above the sleeve line, as well as his chest, so that nega...

Goody1975

The worst one out of the lot isn't even on your list. Blatant handball from the last man at Villa. Fecking bats the ball into his own path so he can bring it under control. You've also missed Alexis McAllister whacking Ramsey in the shins in the build up to the Liverpool goal away which was 100% a ...

There was a handball decision a few weeks ago (was it West Ham?) with Berge right at the end which we 100% got away with. Other than that I can’t think of anything.

He headed the ball on to his own arm, even if they wanted to give a penalty, they can't, it just isn't one.

There is a job to do on the field, the result of that will see us going in one of two directions in the summer. Ideally we stay up, have a plan to move on some players and strengthen a few key positions without taking punts. Having had two very chaotic summers it would be good to have a settled more...

Villa away as well for probable - foul on Foster and their penalty (dive)

The one that got my blood boiling was the deliberate handball when Foster was chasing a ball down, it was a straight red and barely got a mention.

A fair chunk of Summer 23 transfer dealings did come into these accounts. Beyer, Amdouni and Trafford were all In July 23 so will fall in these accounts (although obviously a fair chunk of payments for these will be in the future). I also think the headline figures of transfer fees are somewhat inf...

If this makes the shortlist for the Howard Webb bull **** analysis show, will he dig around twitter to find a poll telling us how 53% of Chelsea fans thought it was a penalty? Thus showing us how it's correct the decision wasn't overturned.

We keep hearing, that we don't want referees to be robots but the idea of introducing technology is to get consistent decisions, that is not what VAR is doing at the minute. IF VAR looks at two identical incidents and gives two different decisions then it shows it's not fit for purpose, sticking wit...

Despite all their difficulties, they reduced their wages by just 2% and spent almost £100m on players.

Feel for the fans, but the club deserves everything it gets.

Yes but COVID, COVID, COVID did it, honest.

I’d be tempted to start Foster and Fofana.

Foster looked spent when he went off, I think he starts on the bench until he regains full match fitness.

Good option to have though and I wouldn't be disappointed if that was the front two on Tuesday.
