Midfield_General Posted Monday at 14:33 Posted Monday at 14:33 Nathan Jones' Charlton go 2-0 up away against fellow promotion contenders Wycombe to put themselves* 2 points off the League One automatics with 6 points left to play for. Fair play to him, they were rubbish when he took over and he has turned them around. He's an absolute knob obviously, but credit where it's due. (*assuming they go on and win it) 3
Pamplemousse Posted Monday at 14:43 Posted Monday at 14:43 He's found his level. Ankerson's decision to hire him was a catastrophe.

We still need another point to swerve Derby County's record and Leicester seems the best bet from our remaining games. They'd be below us if it wasn't for Steve Cooper

LGTL Posted Monday at 14:50 Posted Monday at 14:50 Hopefully Burnley join them later. As funny as another Leeds fuck up would have been, I’m glad they won’t be in the league next season. 1

I was thinking the same. Leeds are down one season longer than the blades. I see the blades as a bigger threat than Leeds next season, all things being equal. Leeds would be much more limited on spending. Immaterial anyway as Leeds are up. 1
LiberalCommunist Posted Monday at 17:13 Posted Monday at 17:13 Stoke look so bad, I'd even fancy us to score a brace against them!
AlexLaw76 Posted Monday at 17:14 Posted Monday at 17:14 Cardiff will go down, Plymouth too. but an interesting shootout with the rest, with hull v derby still to come.

ApprenticeBillionaire Posted Monday at 17:52 Posted Monday at 17:52 (edited) Anyone who thinks Lampard is a good shout...Coventry just got stuffed 3-1 by rock bottom Plymouth. There's is not a chance in hell I'd want Lampard anywhere near us next season in that league. Edited Monday at 17:55 by ApprenticeBillionaire
Sheaf Saint Posted Monday at 17:54 Posted Monday at 17:54 Interesting to see BBD playing right wing for Sheff Utd this evening (before being subbed). Is that a regular thing since he's been there?

HarvSFC Posted Monday at 18:28 Posted Monday at 18:28 Fernandes could definitely be our Hamar. Just need Fernandes to do a Schneiderlin and work an agreement to give us a season in a lower league and see how it goes. Amazingly, Schneiderlin gave us two in League One after the initial summer hysteria regarding his French youth international manager. Although, Fernandes has a lot more of a profile now than Schneiderlin did. Just show him Portugal legend Ruben Neves playing for Wolves in the Championship. 1
saintant Posted Monday at 18:30 Posted Monday at 18:30 That's two of next season's relegation spots for the Premier League sorted, one to be decided. 1

Remind me of the French youth international manager and Schneiderlin story? If I remember correctly, he started very slowly for us and certainly wasn’t a stand out player when we were relegated from the Championship that season.

Depends on their transfer activity. I do think it will be very difficult now for any promoted side to survive in the Prem. Forest did it by signing an entire new team and hoping some came good (which they did). Saints need to not just sign players this summer that can get us promoted but have one eye on them playing for us in the Prem. That, and hoping we can keep hold of the likes of Fernandes.

We beat Leeds 3 times last season, when they had Riimer, Somerville and Archie Gray in the team. They will have Harrison back from his loan, but I think they will need genius recruitment to have any chance
Stripey McStripe Shirt Posted Monday at 20:17 Posted Monday at 20:17 Just flicked on Sky Sports looking for the Spurs v Forest game and noticed there's something on the next channel called the 'Baller League'. I watched about 30 seconds of it...what is that nonsense all about and why on earth is it being televised on a 'serious' sports channel?

They should be able to make a good fist of it due to that.

Good things come to those that wait.

Good finish by AA at WBA v Derby by contrast, similar to many of his goals for us last season.
dsrdorset Posted Monday at 21:29 Posted Monday at 21:29 I can't wait to see Leeds get spanked next season. Despise them and their entitled fans 2

Cos this season was better than being mid-table in the Championship? I don't think so. Next season we can aim for promotion as we will be out of the 3 year reach of the disastrous 2022/2023 spend. Last year we weren't which meant we couldn't spend what was needed to stay up.
east-stand-nic Posted Tuesday at 01:42 Posted Tuesday at 01:42 Leeds will have no chance unless they replace Meslier. He will get caned in the PL every week. 1

I think staying up now need big slice of luck with signings clicking, also need a couple of existing Premier league steams to start imploding at the right time, are points deductions a thing of the past now as Man City are still avoiding them ?

Therefore the team need to be able to defend well and the best chance to score is press upfield and take advantage of the goal scoring opportunities. A template for any promoted team atm with limited funds. 1
