£37 is a bit steep. Still bought one though!
Cov have cheapest season tickets in the chumps, fleecing visiting supporters clearly is part of their model

If we don't get promoted (likely not) the prem clubs will be circling for Price and Heggem, more so than Fellows I feel,.

Glad to read you're not in a pickle  8) .
Thought I spring into a response

Surely any difference of opinion is an argument?
I do accept your opinion, I just don't agree with it (regarding Armstrong). I will continue to debate with you and anyone else I disagree with. That's what forums are for.

Not if they won't engage you won't,   and No don't bother I am out of here  ;)

All be it minus our international contingent and those recovering from injuries, knocks and niggles a consecutive run of days on the training pitch should do us the world of good. Here's hoping. Go tickle their tummies and powder their lovely soft feet Mogga. COYB  8) .

Same for our opposition too  though ! (except the Mogga pedicure of course) 

Perhaps you have hit on the "x" factor !!!    The oft overlooked pedicure being the difference between success and failure (fine margins / incremental change etc, etc)

As a fairly avid  TM fan, I have to say I agree with Dan, the having a look / giving lads a chance phase is closing quickly, we Need a side that recognises it's roles and is relatively stable now, we will not go on the required run by chopping and changing and playing people in unfamiliar roles. It's now Time for Tony to put his stamp on the side.

Do all those question marks mean they're in the poo under or is it under review? There's a poem in there somewhere.

I'm sure their fans will say "they don't care"

I'm not concerned about him long-term. Why not? Because I don't think Joe Wildsmith has a long-term future as our number one. Short to medium at a real push perhaps but definitely not long-term in my honest opinion.

I'm far more concerned about another fixture passing by with little evidence of the systems, structures or repeatable patterns of play in place to keep goals out at one end and increase our likelihood of scoring at the other.

Leeds and Burnley were great but otherwise performances have been largely meh. And before anyone posts the obvious one line counter about us lacking a consistent goal threat under our previous incumbent I couldn't care less because he's moved on and so should we.

I'm on about the here and now and the run in as without those repeatable patterns at either end we'll continue to be vulnerable at one end without carrying a sufficient threat at the other regardless of who's in goal.

I find myself agreeing, its really surprised me that we have stayed in the top 6 until now, this can only be attributed to others inconsistency.
My concern is that we will finally drop out at the most important time with no opportunity to recover. I have been surprised that TM hasn't galvanised the team and it seems has not settled on a team he trusts home and away.

i'm confused at some of the roles he is giving players currently, I simply do not get it, and I am a huge TM supporter. I love his attitude to football and his general demeanour.

No man is an island,I actually heard pundits bemoaning Salah yesterday,I mean it’s not like he has been the outstanding prem player all season??…and I can’t stand that red lot…
But they should have enough to at the very least make a competitive game yesterday even if Salah had an off day…they didn’t they were awful .
I cannot see Salah staying there …unfortunately I do think that their lead will be enough for the league,but if they could just lose the next two games it would be great television.

I think Salah will be lured by the Saudis and the scousers will potentially implode next season. Van Dyke will be the only one who could possibly  save them, Some of that squad are not all special at all that IMO (Curtiss Jones / TAA / Harvey Elliott for example)

They are on fire at the minute it has to be said, domestically and in Europe.

I am not fully up to speed with their financial issues, but it seems a complete mess behind the scenes, but with their academy continuing to produce gems like Yamal, Gavi, Cubarsi, Pedri etc they seem to be able to sustain it on the pitch.

Real Madrid backed by the Castillian establishment can spend what they want with impunity, meanwhile Barca from Catalunya have to operate on a different interpretation / application of the rules.

Admittedly Barca were a nightmare for a while though

Would Salah leaving the Bin dippers have a similar effect to Man City losing Rodri for the season?

A really good draw for Valencia away at Girona last night taking them up to 16th in the table.

Not another draw, for goodness sake !    8)

This is the thing. Without him, or Swift making passes through the eye of a needle, there was no creativity whatsoever on Saturday, it was quite concerning.

And this is why Price & Molumby MUST play in the centre, no more experimental setups or square pegs.......

Racic was on loan and Frab was free and unknown.
I really don't get your point, the question was biggest disappointment, I REALLY wanted us to have unearthed a LB and the fact he has been binned off by both managers is a major disappointment, both for us and him but also for Styles having to cover a position which he hasn't covered before, very well as it happens, I dread to think how we would have fared without Styles

Ugly nature of the Championship I'm afraid.

Again. Nobody suggested he was Steve Bruce incarnate. Yet to suggest there were no similarities in their outcomes on the pitch during Tony Mowbray's first seven games would be a falsehood.

I'm greatly encouraged to see our progress against the likes of Leeds and Burnley. Now we're at this level of performance I look forward to us maintaining it for the run in. COYB  8) .

This squad now Knows that they can match anyone in this league, we now need to develop the "killer" smentality which this club has not had since Megsion.

Griffiths was Player of the Season in his time at Bristol Rovers. You couldn’t ask for a more ringing endorsement from any set of fans.

It’s tough for a keeper - other players make mistakes and they often get forgotten, but a keeper error is usually very costly and well remembered.

In that sense I have a lot of sympathy - for example, why didn’t Armstrong take his great chance last night? What about the players who misplace passes and fail to control the ball? It happens all the time - the difference is it rarely costs a goal, and a missed chance is never seen as equal to a goal conceded. Even a sitter.

But Wildsmith’s had a run and proved only so-so in several games - last night’s howler was a real shocker. So surely Griffiths now deserves the same chance.

Hull at home is one of the best chances to see Griffiths in a match situation, surely we cannot pass that up, will also let Wildsmith know he has to up his game.

The interesting thing about this argument is when posters (inc myself) say that Diakite/Fabrotta/Cole…should at least be given a chance…it’s shot down with 1001 managers have seen them in training and therefore they don’t think they are good enough .
But now after a handful of games we should drop the keeper (who has actually been ok) in favour of one that the coaches see in training every day and BTW got plenty of critic when we lost to the dingles …
It feels like some are almost willing him to make an error do they can say told you so .

I think that is a very valid point, except the last sentence

The jammiest of all jammy clubs in the history of football. No doubt about it sadly

Perhaps in honour of their American owners  they should be re-incarnated as "The Jammie Dodgers"  and move the franchise to New York and hear the seals squeal !
