Do we always have to be fair. FFS we spend enough time being borderline suicidal. Can’t we just enjoy the win and think we played well for at least five minutes before the Derek-downers start up.

We only scored three goals away from home against a team they’ve been claiming as decent chance for promotion. Nothing to see here really….

14 points above Leicester and 13 above WBA.

Don’t think we’d have predicted that at the beginning of the season, even with the points deduction.

Only three points from the magic 50 points. In Feb. Surely we should be happy with that after the previous two seasons.

He was shocking. It takes quite a lot for our cultured manager and creative midfielder to get riled and both of them had a go at the ref at full time for not giving Madsen a free kick at the end when a player came in at him from behind when just outside the pen at the end of the match.

Yes someone was talking about this (can’t remember if it was a manager or a newspaper article). It’s actually likely to cause more injuries as like you say teams tend to bring on fresh forwards or midfielders and the poor defenders are having to deal with them when they’re already tiring.

Yeah I did that Plymouth-Hull one. It IS pretty knackering even if you’re not actually playing. Do think it’s a disadvantage if you have that more often than other teams across the season.

But is a nightmare for the fans too.

ETA according to the thread on it, it’s Derby and Bristol City that have six double away games in the three game weeks. Other teams only have three of them (courtesy of Stowmarket).

Have you watched the interview Brian? He explains it a bit. I think he realises now what he needs to do to be a good player in the Championship.

He seems like a nice fella even if you don’t like him as a player. But you don’t have to love him obviously.

Either way they have surprisingly good chemistry!

I think one issue was he’d only sign for short extensions on his contract. So if you are paying someone for eighteen months you don’t want to invest six months of that with them on loan.

I think he wasn’t really ever willing to commit to us so it was a good deal to sell him.

Well if you find it helpful to always look backwards and rail against change, go for it obviously.

They may not start but I’d be shocked if Chair at least didn’t play a few minutes.

It’s not the same game now. You can’t compare the two. The pace, the physicality of the game (not tackles but how much more athletic they have to be, the high press. Remember Stan Bowles on Superstars, he was hopeless compared to the really fit guys.

Also the players from then probably played half the time on painkillers and barely have knees.

Comparing us to other Championship sides’ injury records makes absolute sense. Looking back into the mists of time is a waste of time.

It’s so annoying when he shouts the name of a player just taking a routine shot. That combined with Andy Hinchcliffe’s droning tones stating the bleeding obvious it’s insufferable.

It’s reasonably accurate when you compare it to players who are actually playing. It gives you a rough idea compared to not having a clue.

I don’t know about overall data for the Championship but the Besoccer website has the current injuries for each individual club which seems pretty accurate. They are generally wrong about when players are coming back for us - possibly because of our Club Omertà but the actual injuries seem right. We are certainly worse than many other Championship clubs which tend to have four or five out rather than our seven or eight. Although Millwall have had ten injuries at one point this season and Hull City eight. But maybe their players a) come back more quickly or b) are not as integral to the squad as say Burrell and Chair???
