    They'd add nothing to the PL and Wilder would bore people to death ...

    ... and not just in his post match interviews <laugh>

    Hamer was definitely a second yellow and yet Tanaka received a yellow and it was doubtful it was even a foul

    we have not lost a game by more than 1 goal this season, i reckon Burnley will get 2nd spot that defensive record is the best ever. Blew our chance defence wise and mistakes, so Sunderland vs sheff U in the play off final, and would we play in away strip again ? we never win the toss do we.

    None of our possible Wembley opponents put the fear of God into me ...

    ... we have players who can conjure up absolute magic.

    Whatever the case Dave, I'd love to see Rigg, Neil, Patterson and those lads stepping out at Wembley ...

    ... we're a lovely club with lovely supporters.

    Haven't seen him on the football pitches for a while now. Usually comes and has a bit crack and to see the German shepherd's. Nice lad. Puts some graft in keeping fit.

    Chuffed for Leeds and Watford , after Don and Reg I never thought I would say that , so I will re-phrase chuffed for football after those two results.
    Leeds have been my second team to watch in truth of late , whats not to like about brilliant attacking football played within the spirit of the game.,

    My only worry is what Sunderland we see in the next 12 games. We absolutely need to enter the play offs with momentum. If this is our bad run about to start, it's essential we flip it round and go into the final games in form.

    FWIW I'd freshen up the team on Friday and get some rest for those who need it.

    Yep,this is RLB's first really major challenge. He's got to get some momentum into this group,whilst managing some tired,young players to ensure they're ready to go when we get down to the end game promotion business.

    Yeah we look tired and a bit uninspired in possession. He won't do it, but I'd make 5 changes for Friday

    Moore for Patterson
    Mepham for Ballard
    Mundle for Le Fee
    Mayenda for Roberts
    Browne for Rigg

    Unless Patto is injured ,cant see him being dropped,

    it will depend on his and RLB's mindset,

    does RLB allow Patto to be in goal again to see if he can right a wrong from last weekend OR does his take him out of the firing range and give him time on the sidelines

    TBF he has made changes, not always liked by everyone.

    There was a time when dropping Rigg for Browne would’ve been a hanging offence …

    … he’ll have to make at least two on Friday.
