He played tremendously well. The way I look at it if AB got injured and Joe had to step in for a run of games I think he would do very well. His handling and positioning was bang-on. |

I’ve been around long enough to know that you can never predict what happens in football. In September, I was thinking with Gareth in charge we’ve no chance. At Xmas with the 1-1 (last minute equaliser) vs Huddersfield ,I thought things might just be turning. From there, I thought we’d stay up, but that it would go the last game. Crazy to think that if we win on Saturday and Watford lose, we will end up on the same points and who thought that might be the likely season outcome back in August? |

As always you hit the spot. At 3-0 I thought about two mad R’s mates, who are no longer here and how mental they would have been during and after the game. Marti definitely has that change factor that Sexton and Venables delivered in the way we played and how the club conducted itself. Christian, Marti and the Board have a huge task and a wonderful opportunity in the summer, to help us move on positively, next season and beyond. Season ticket sales will be off the scale. Thanks for running the site, providing brilliant content and for keeping us all sane. |

With Huddersfield relegated Sorba Thomas or Jack Rudoni would be decent replacements for Willock. |

QQ - I need to drive tonight and am thinking of parking in Westfield. Price aside has anyone used the parking for an evening game as I see it closes at 9pm? |

Was at the Leeds game in the SAR stand. Incredible occasion and atmosphere. You’re right about the attendance. I recall when I arrived at the ground there were literally thousands outside 15mins before kick-off. It was heaving. In some film you can see fans sitting in the stairways in the lower SAR stand. I’ve always thought it was close to 38,000. I based it on the Leicester FA Cup game which was 34,000 and the Leeds attendance of 35,000. For sure, it was much more than both those games and with thousands outside. |

Armstrong could be a useful weapon against that Leeds defence. |

Coventry don’t play with VAR in the Championship and that happens. The game is finished. |

Technically he was very good - a Marti player for sure. I thought their left hand sided defender was superb. Strong, quick and direct. |

Has to be Cook. His overall professionalism and approach is outstanding. Having said that JCS alongside him has been incredible, especially yesterday. I doubt he will be here next season as his form will not have gone unnoticed. |

It’s an incredible achievement given what he inherited. He’s worked a miracle but he has two outstanding traits in that he doesn’t panic and he’s intelligent, when dissecting the performances of the team. Blimey, we are lucky to have him and I can’t wait to see how he re-shapes the squad. |

For my sins, I was at St Andrew’s with a mate who’s a lifelong Blues fan. Most of the fans are resigned to going down as it was obvious the whole team has downed tools. From a professional perspective they were a disgrace to the shirt last night and once Cardiff scored,most of the team literally gave up. Fair play to Rowett, he tried everything to get them to move up a gear ,but again it was obvious they are not having him. I see this morning he has called them out for lacking passion, fight and professionalism. It’s difficult having what I watched last night to see them getting another point. They literally have to score first to have any chance. |

I think we will be ok. Marti has worked a miracle. Can’t wait to see Begovic, Dykes, Kakay and a few others getting moved on. Begovic has probably cost us 6-8 points since Xmas but Dykes is stealing a living. Smyth had two great chances to finish it tonight bit that’s why he was playing L1 last season. |

Brilliant to hear that your wife is doing really well. Being told that something sinister had been found (in my case) following a colonoscopy was truly devastating. My wife who was with me (and a renal consultant of 40yrs) asked was it cancer and the consultant nodded. I have worked in highly paid jobs around the world earning a fantastic living but that came at a price. I hadn’t realised until my diagnosis that life had caught up with me at 63 and I was facing a tough time ahead from Aug 22. I made the decision that evening to retire and my wife laid out the odds against the different types/stages of bowel cancer. Thankfully, I am doing well and retired. I see more of my family (literally everyday) and I love it and tell them I love them dearly.I can go to R’s again. I’ve realised I don’t need that much money to live on but I take care of everyone. Most importantly and late in life -I love being around as I have stuff to do. I changed some of my lifestyle habits. I don’t drink much alcohol. I’ve given up red meat and processed foods and try to exercise as much as I can. A cancer journey is painful and no one journey is similar. For my fellow cancer colleagues on this forum -best wishes and live life! |

Wishing you well. If it helps I decided to do exactly what I was told by my medical team. They were brilliant and I was very well taken care of. Best wishes. |

I was diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer in August 2022 - a few months before I was retiring. No symptoms but detected when I took a poo test, which has ultimately saved my life. I opted for robotic surgery and underwent post surgical treatment as well as being in the 5yr surveillance program. 18 months on and I’m doing really well with no signs of a return of my cancer. Good luck to anyone who is going through that journey. For me, money doesn’t come into it when you lose a loved one. We all deal with death differently. I must admit when I was diagnosed it made me think how short life is. I really do live every day as though it were my last - you just never know what’s around the corner. |

The Championship clubs should refuse to play the three relegated PL clubs. Football is eating itself. |
