I don't think it is arrogant to think it should be game over at 3-0 at home to a team 20 places below you in the league. It should have been and we were careless to give them a chance. Two of the players who went off (Stephens and Baldock) were always going to be subbed as they were playing for...

I thought he gave us both decisions in the area, although both were more 50/50 than you suggest. For their appeal, Stephens and Dunk had pushed the guy back towards the edge of the area and he was looking for the penalty. I think that's why it was not given. For our penalty, it does look soft on...

Agreed, and everyone says what great form they've been on and that we've bit up and down. If they can keep up their recent form for the rest of the season, they will end up with about 95 points and almost certainly be in the top two. But it is very difficult to continue that sort of form for...

Personally, I am concerned about Huddersfield but it is beginning to look like they are our main rivals. Whatever we get from the next 16 games, Huddersfield realistically need to get 7 more points over the rest of the season and it is hard to see them keeping this form up forever. A few weeks...

This is a very good point. You only have to listen to David Stockdale's comments every time he saves a penalty and the work that Ben Roberts and his team do to see this. Also, the rules have changed in recent years. I think keepers weren't allowed to move along their lines before a penalty at...

Yes, obviously everyone believes their opinion is correct. However, we don't all say that it must be someone's first season watching Albion if they disagree with them. It felt like you were looking down on posters for saying Hemed was the best penalty taker (or one of the best).

And Newcastle knew that as shown by Benitez's decision to substitute Mitrovic at half time. As others have said Newcastle and Huddersfield were both very lucky to win yesterday. Having said that, I'd have taken Reading drawing, Leeds losing and the rest winning before the game.

The best is someone's opinion. You can't say he is not the best. You can only say I do not think he is the best. You are so arrogant at times on here. Anyone who doesn't agree with you apparently knows nothing.

Agreed. Looking at it from the outside, it has worked well for us. Huddersfield play on Saturday, a game they probably can't make too many changes for. Then on the Tuesday they play, Reading who will have had extra time off before the match. As a result of that match, Reading have less time off...

Yes, a clean sheet has suddenly become very important. For a team who looked brilliant at the back this season to suddenly concede three in three consecutive games in league and cup is concerning. Hopefully a clean sheet tomorrow will get the defence back on track.

Seriously? You do realise we don't have the right to just turn up and beat Burton. The arrogance of suggesting we should leave out one of our best players is just ridiculous. Burton will be a tough game and we need to make sure we're fully on it. The last thing we want to do is drop points and...

Exactly. We must win the next two games. Why would we risk leaving out our best players and possibly drop points. It is always strange to me that people suggest leaving players out for league games to avoid them missing games further down the line. Surely they just end up missing as many games...

I didn't say we weren't. But it does mean we have to focus on relationships like this more. But that is was the majority apparently wanted, so great!

I think a lot of people on death row in the US would argue that's not true. There's a number of stories of people being executed wrongly despite overwhelming evidence showing their conviction should be quashed. Funnily enough, they seem to have one thing in common. I'm not arguing we should be...

I'm not sure they need to cover themselves. It was clearly from the pre match press conference. I assume 'could' is what the club said (presumably covering themselves for tweaks in training over the next couple of days).

That's only if they've been out for a long time. You didn't see Bruno play any U23 games before coming back and he only missed a week less than Baldock. According to the Argus, he and Stephens are back in contention for Saturday. Agree with the OP. A vital part of our team and those who...

A fantastic read. That whole season is a bit of a blur in a lot of ways (especially the last half hour at Hereford, which has to be the longest of my life). Given the situation he joined in, it cannot be under estimated what an amazing job Steve Gritt did in keeping us. If people ask why we...

I thought that was probably the case. It is odd because there's never been a suggestion of it from official sources. I think, as you said, people see the £25 million figure and ignore everything else. The only reason any players will be sold is if we get ridiculous offers for them and they want...

Which is a fair enough opinion (not the over the top reaction to a couple of poor performances from other posters). Both have done well for me. If you'd told me at the start of the season that Kayal would be out for so long and we'd be top two at this point, I'd have been amazed. Norwood has...

Not sure if you are asking me or others but the FFP thing comes from the post I quoted. I don't have any fear that we will have issues with it.
