  • Wonder if we'll see Ramsay on the bench, especially with the option of having nine subs
  • It is probably too early for that.
  • Looks like they've has to schlepp back from Preston, but now have to schlepp back up North, I wonder if they will stay up north after Rotherham.
    In terms of those who travel, although not named, I noticed Kai Enslin amongst our players up at Preston, and what with Mannion, Ahadme, Anderson and Zach Mitchell being utilised I think Tuesday might have been a bit of extra research for Jones as much as anything else.

  • He's actually full of shit. 

    Says we are the best pressing team, there is no evidence of this. The table doesn't say so, the stats don't say so, our goals conceded don't say so. It's pretty much just a lie.

    He also said at the end we aren't as bad as last season. Well, I've got some news Jones mate, we are. Actually, we are worse off.



    Even if he meant from when he took over, that would be incomparable due to the games played, and if anything, makes his argument worse as he had preparation time to improve on this. 

    We are worse off in literally every aspect of the table. 

    In 23/24 by this stage we had scored 30 and conceded 25, and had a 5 goal difference. 

    This season we have scored 18 and conceded 19 and have a -1 G/D. 12 less goals scored, huge amount, and 6 goals less conceded.

    Absolute waffler. 
    We are now seven points better off (30 -> 37) than we were after 25 games played compared to last season, an increase of 23%.

    Our goal difference has improved YoY from -2 to +5. We have conceded 13 fewer goals and kept 7 additional clean sheets.

    Yay!!!

  • Ramsey back to full fitness is great news!
  • lol!... "To be fair to him, Gass can find contact in a phone box!"
  • Obscure one that -finding contact in a phone box - he’s no Ron Atkinson - ‘find space in a phone box’ !!! Nathan !!!

    We're now on 43pts and a 25-30% chance of making the play-offs. That's an infinite increase over 0% this time last season as opposed to dealing with an outside chance of relegation 😀

    I think he's saying Ahadme is injury prone

    I criticise him for some of his outlandish statements, but I think that on balance his assessment of the window is pretty reasonable. Up to him now to deliver 5th place, in line with the budget. 
  • He’s sounding very bullish. Hope some of that confidence filters down into the team.

    And the fans!
  • He did state that they were looking for a wide attacking player that they didn't get over the line. he appeared a bit upset by this
  • Godden has scored 8 League (not 7) and 3 Cup goals so far this season

    This is true - post above was from before the Blackpool game where he added another to his tally
  • Are we sure Tedic scored twice last season? Absolutely don’t remember that…

    Well we are both proper, so that's good!  As opposed to not proper.
