Ever the pessimist

Was the embargo kept quiet at the efl’s insistence? Why would they insist on that?

Are we any clearer as to what Joao’s injury is?

Yep. And the wolves game too. Might even take the kids if they keep misbehaving.

We didn’t play 3-5-2 in the early days of Jos, more a 5-3-2 with little to no expectation of the full backs attacking. It got us points at Boro and pigs but when we needed to attack (notably home games in jan / feb) it meant we were impotent and reliant on lung bursting runs from Reach or moments of brilliance from Joao. When safety was more or less guaranteed we changed to 3 up top and were more of a threat, but with a less secure defence. Personally I would go with this again.

Thought this was going to be a thread about centre halves.

If Westwood has a clean sheet bonus I doubt playing him behind this defence is much of a risk.

Hmmm. I think the questionnaire was disingenuous, if not dishonest. The option we voted for was never really feasible and he would have known that at the time.

His plan is akin to me running up huge gambling debts and hoping I will win the lottery to repay them all.

I am dreading Leeds at home.

If anyone has the one at Wolves it was even better.

Do you have players who are a little too big for their boots? Want any confidence knocked out of them? S6 1SW is for you!

It was loads better than the one at Hillsborough a few years later against Watford: it was bang in the top corner about 100mph!

Wasn’t there - was only 6. But on hearing the score began my first and only time crying about football.

Yeah, fa cup replay about 94. Were winning the shootout including Pressman with the best penalty I have ever seen, then conspired to lose with Waddle and Bart-Williams amongst those who missed. We also won one there in 2000 after a dire 0-0.

No way will Joao be playing.
