  1. I think we need daily updates for all 3 games
  2. I think I see a change in pace and direction of the header as it gets close to the goal. Does this mean it'll be credited to Waggy? 😅
  3. Fozzy is the perfect partner to Cashin. He knows Cashin won't win 100% of his duels, and is always ready to cover for the few he loses. Nelson also did it well when we were playing a back 4.
  4. Leave him out on loan. Waghorn will do the job for now, with Mendez-Laing and Barkhuizen chipping in. Washington will return to the squad soon. Collins only a couple of weeks off too, hopefully around the time Gayle is back too.
  5. Or, Wildsmith had full sight of the ball from when the corner was taken, and could see it was never going to go in...
  6. 'Net chances per game based on xG' has us above Bolton Net chances per game based on actual goals has us top of the league (also known as goal difference). Of course, total goals for/agaisnt over a season doesn't show how consistent a side is. They could win 5-0 one week, then loss 1-0 the next and have an average of 2.5vs0.5 and have 3 points. Meanwhile, another side could win 2-1 one week and 1-0 the next resulting in 1.5vs0.5 but have 6 points. Your method of judging sides says the first team is better, depsite having half the points.
  7. It's difficult to put a player from League 1 into the international side when others are playing regularly at a higher level. I expect him to break into their national side next season.
  8. Is that @DarkFruitsRam7 in the bottom left?
  9. No doubt our Bolton friend will be back to let us know we cheated and conned the ref for another goal this week.
  10. Since Stevenage are the only other top 10 side in action next weekend. A win for us against Northampton will be a big psychological impact on the other sides around us. We would move to just 2 points off Portsmouth, 7 clear of Bolton, and a mighty 10 points ahead of Peterborough and Barnsley.
  11. Yes. 32,538 is what I heard the announcer say
  12. 5 yellows in quick succession and a penalty to Forest after 39 mins. 1-1. 2nd half underway.
  13. Price IGordon Osayande Cox Gough Eames Hawkins Trialist McAndrew Osong Oguntolu
  14. That's right. He was out since November and only just came back. He made his return to action last Saturday, playing 77 minutes for the U18s. He's also starting in the game vs Forest which just kicked off.
  15. How can you watch that and conclude Gayle dived into the keeper? He came flying out at Gayle and he had no chance of moving out of the way. We were still fortunate, as even accidental handballs are punished in the opposition area. As this contact was milliseconds before the foul, I believe it would be awarded as a freekick to them? It's not conclusive that it was deliberate as someone rushing towards you would cause the instinctive hand raising to protect yourself. However, in real time, it was almost impossible to tell if it was handball or not. What was obvious to everyone watching was the foul on Gayle.
  16. Sunderland haven't been below 40k since November, and that was only the 3rd time for them this season.
  17. As has been mentioned, there are some gems to find up in Scotland who would be willing to join us. The problem here is, you're getting close to 50 suggestions on 50 different posts, followed up by "Scotty McScotface is playing tonight vs Bonnyrigg Rose. He's a quality player" for every suggestion. Some of your suggestions wouldn't even get into Carlisle's side, never mind one which will either be opening for romotion from L1, or looking to finish lower mid-table in the Championship. There's so many suggestions in a short space of time that people are bored of your suggestions and won't even bother looking them up to see if they are any good or not. They're now just going straight to the ignore list. My suggestion for you is to take your time and compile your own list maybe limit it to the best 2 players in each position where we have a gap in our squad for next season. Assume we'll be promoted if you want, or state if they'd be a L1 signing, a Champ signing, or a someone we should sign no matter which league we're in. Maybe explain why they're better than someone we already have, and maybe explain how they suit Warne's style.
  18. Reading the suggestion thread takes up all our time so no opportunity to post here
  19. Played in the last game. He's DM from Southampton, so will be someone the academy staff will know well.
  20. Doesn't seem like it. They haven't even announced the lineup and kick off in 40 mins. Team now announced:
