Or maybe Warne simply realised he had to adapt tactics to the players available. Either way, I'm glad of the transition.

I think it's changed - the ball is played to feet a lot more, rather than just pumped down the channels in hope. Consequently, we retain the ball more, stretch the opposition and create more and better chances. I'm all for it 🐏

Less so now, it appears.

Play where he likes, just so long as he doesn't go into our penalty area.

I do not understand the comparisons with Colin Todd. Toddy was really fast over the ground. Cashin, bless him, isn't. Indeed, to me, that's his main weakness rather than his height.

Our problems were far greater than merely breaking FFP and getting a points deduction. I agree, I wouldn't want fans of any club (perhaps even Leeds) to go through the threat of being wound up. But mere points deductions for breaking the rules, that's fair enough, I can live with that happening. Though to be honest, I think the whole financing of football needs restructuring, new regulations and new policing.

It's such a worry.

I saw Peterborough play the other night - they looked good.

Six figures???!!! Are two of them the pence?

FWIW I say keep it. And follow it with Dambusters. A few verses of "we all effing hate reds" should rev everyone up.

Stay. Keep the best players. Play football.

Ok fair enough but Posh get in crossing positions by playing fast flowing, passing football not just aimlessly pumping it down the channels hoping that a wing back will get to it first. BTW where's Bolton in that list?

Peterborough better team, playing better football. Reality check.

"Can we finally admit get it wide/cross it in works in League One?" Please can someone tell footballing teams like Peterborough then.

Look back at the negative reactions to the Rhodes link - "finished", "won't score", "wouldn't play". I thought this was going to be another "what if Lampard had played Marriott at Wembley thread" given where Villa are in the PL.

Yeah, I was myself thinking there is one person who would revel in this run we're on, and that game in particular, bad feet or not he'd be bouncing higher than anyone 🐏

Ah, do you mean a "lady boy"?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Derby came from two down to win 3-2. Pompey, we're coming for you, blah, blah, blah. But RoyMac5 "is a lady"!!!! What???!!!! Of course, there's nothing wrong with being a woman ("lady" is an outdated term) but it's a little surprising given their....errr.... let's say "stance", on occasion.

Tell me the page so I can put it into context.

What?

How much did you have to pay for that?

B4 called it.
