That will be the same Sunderland that finished on the same number of points as us and will in all likelihood be significantly weakened next season should Jack Clarke leave! Nonsense. He's not going there. [Post edited 12 Jun 20:28]

Me too (Willy fan).
Yes. if we were still wedded to GA's hoofball, neither of those sides would entertain playing us, even if we had managed to remain in the championship playing in that manner. |

Absolutely. Already a far cry from the sham of games that included Reading's youth team and a part-time Austrian regional side. AFC Wimbledon was one of the sterner tests last pre-season. [Post edited 28 May 12:31]

So in Les' supposed fallow years, from 1989 as an inexperienced striker, he scored 22 goals in just 55 games!! All achieved at the highest level, I might add.
There's no comparison, either in the near future or way into the future. [Post edited 27 May 21:02]

And Kent scored 1,072 runs against us. A valid case could be made that the key point of difference between the two sides was the runs scored by Jordan Cox in both games, a player who was made in Kent.
Yes, we've won four matches, but three of those victories were against the bottom two sides in the league, and we only beat Warwickshire because they, inexplicably in my view, didn't enforce the follow-on.
The prognosis on Sam Cook's injury is yet to be determined, but the whispers at Canterbury amongst Essex fans, was that he has a hamstring injury. One can only hope that it isn't long-term because if Aaron Beard is his replacement, then we will not keep pace with Slurrey. Likewise, if Cook is selected in the England squad, thus potentially missing games at the end of August and the first game in September.
Personally hope all the "smaller" sides: Kent, Somerset, Worcestershire and Essex all stay up, and if it's at the expense of Lancashire, Warwickshire and/or Nottinghamshire even better. I wish Kent all the best against Lancashire when we revert to the proper game from 23rd June for two more rounds of fixtures.. [Post edited 27 May 21:06]

I sincerely hope Palace don't sell any of their stellar players. In that group, I would also include their two excellent centre-halves: Andersen and Guehi. They also have Cheick Doucoure to come back from injury.
Their fans deserve a season of seeing their side replete with top-drawer premier league quality after many years of struggling and being saved from liquidation.
They've just picked up over £34 million for a 10th placed finish and already sold their season tickets' allocation for next season. They really don't need to sell unless they receive ridiculous offers [Post edited 20 May 10:59]

My thoughts exactly. Ken Paal is another. Even Smythe, albeit nowhere near the calibre of Chair.
I suspect that a few of the many that have been released could eventually end up playing at championship level in years to come, just like Josh Laurent who after a stint at Brentford, ended up at Hartlepool before rising up the leagues again. |

Totally agree. Nothing biased at all. It was an excellent innings considering the huge deficit Kent faced after a poor first innings score.
What's happened to Jack Leaning and Wes Agar who both played against Worcestershire at Canterbury? You still have some batting left in Finch, Evison and Denley, with the latter due a score, or at least displaying some rearguard action on the final day. The draw can still be achieved.
Good to see that DBD doesn't appear burdened by the captaincy, he must be over the 600 runs mark already, which must be the highest/not far off the highest amount of runs scored by a batsman to date in division one. [Post edited 19 May 21:06]

Have to disagree that our "going light" during the last pre-season is the key reason why we were lucky with no long-term injuries being sustained by our key players. It's simply down to good fortune and thank goodness it lasted for the duration of the season under the stewardship of the MC.
That strategy isn't the sole preserve of QPR and we will be beset with long-term injuries in the future to some of our key players, whether we continue to "go light" during pre-season or not. It's sport, which isn't an exact science, and injuries will arise with some seasons being worse than others in that regard. Mercifully, we got off rather lightly this season.

Totally agree. Attended the game last night and Wharton, wow. He was the best player on the park last night for me. Comfortable with either foot, always available to receive the ball in all areas, likes the physical side of the game. He oozes class already and that's with just 4 months' premier league experience.
There are a lot of good players playing at Championship level who I believe would acquit themselves much better in the Premier league than many of the foreign imports. Still can't believe that a premier league side didn't sign Gyokeres from Coventry. He's better than that ponderous lump Manure had up top for them last night.
I'm Rangers through and through, but Palace do generate a good atmosphere at their home games. Like us, they've now got a very good manager in place who has got them playing good football. [Post edited 7 May 13:34]

Personally only agree with the number of changes made if the other party does the same. Coventry haven't and should win comfortably, in my view. Just Walsh and Hayden as changes for me.
It's a pity, because were we to win, we would have picked up 50% of the points available since the MC took over, which is the kind of fillip that bodes well for a vastly improved campaign next season. |

Mason-Clark is already Coventry's. They signed him in January and loaned him back to Peterborough. Mark Robins and those supporting him have had a very successful track record in identifying strikers, who contribute in the goals column, and attacking midfielders who also provide a decent number of goals.
I suspect he may well be another successful signing for them. [Post edited 25 Apr 18:10]

Rather remiss not to include:

Oh I forgot, the perpetrator of that heinous act plays for us, so he's absolved. [Post edited 23 Apr 20:12]

Absolutely. The condescending remarks made by Tw*tterface in particular towards Coventry have been totally disrespectful. Coventry's two strikers, Wrught & Simms have performed at a far higher level than Manure's Hojlund.
I hope they do it. It's about time ignoramuses like Tw*atterface begin to realise that there are some very good players and top coaches in the Championship, with Robins being one of the best. [Post edited 21 Apr 18:13]

"Move, anticipate, have some kind of instinct for goal". Watched the Southampton v Preston game and you saw all those traits in Che Adams. A player who Birmingham bought for £1.6 million.
Instead, after four years of being first-choice striker, we have the antithesis of the above. We will struggle to recoup the £2million we paid for him. Alongside his new contract, I fear he won't be going anywhere, as there'll be no club in this league willing to match what he's earning here. As for Celtic or Rangers, I struggle to see him being in their contemplation. [Post edited 17 Apr 12:59]

Just had a look at his goals' record this season in the Eredivision. 17 goals in 26 games.
Can we do a swap deal please. Ajax are world-renowned for developing players, who knows, they may be able to achieve what seems like the impossible with Armstrong and improve his goals' output.. |
