Blackburn over QPR 1-0. Big win for them

We are 14th in the table as things stand

Nowhere near that on recent form. Itâ€™s a good job we made such a good start this season. Currently we are the worst side in the Championship bar none. We certainly didnâ€™t expect to have to say that this season!

Probably as good as it gets we will need to improve quite a bit not to sink any lower.

Weâ€™ve just moved up to 13th curtesy of a Bournemouth equaliser. Hope 13th isnâ€™t too unlucky?

bosh · « **Reply #7007 on:** February 26, 2022, 05:24:19 PM »

A win on Monday and we're up to 11th. It all starts now.

Topman · « **Reply #7008 on:** February 26, 2022, 06:40:36 PM »

Itâ€™s an if, but if we could somehow win the next two we are then right back in the hunt for a play off spot. However we look totally lost, so I doubt we can even score two goals let alone two wins. Massive game Monday, which will tell us a lot no doubt

It's the hope that gets you. If this, if that. How many times does it leave the fan deflated

It's difficult to believe where we have fallen to.
I can't remember the last time we were this far down in this league, anyone know?

Agreed. My mind keeps going back to villa a couple of years ago. We beat them in the league and everyone thought thatâ€™s them done, they then won 9 on the bounce was it? I know they had Grealish ect but Iâ€™m just hoping if we could nick one, could one become two ect. Clutching I know, and we never would have the luck they do

Think we will struggle yet again.

It is not so much about our league position for me, it is the fact that the quality of most of the present first team do not warrant a better position. We are where we deserve to be because of the performances of these players.

The season Megson saved us, coming in late in the day and making 5 signings on deadline day.

We finished 6th the season after, and haven't finished lower than that since. It needs a Megson now.

â€œ Stoke City lost Â£55m in year to end of March 2021 compared to Â£87m loss the previous season but appear to be within EFL FFP loss limit as no points deduction.â€

On the face on it, I don't see how they can be within the limits

They've battered other clubs for less.

Filthy rich them Stoke City owners.

Bet365 boss Denise Coates took home about Â£300m during its last financial year - Â£170m down on the previous year - as growth stalled.

The billionaire founder of the online gambling firm received Â£250m in salary and a share of the company's pay-out of Â£97.5m in dividends.

Ms Coates, one of Britain's wealthiest women and a major philanthropist, has received a total of about Â£1.3bn from the business in the past five years.

The company owns Stoke City football club, and is based in the city.

Well at least she's backing her local area economy and has not moved her operation to Lahndon.

How does Bournemouth have 5 games in hand on Huddersfield? I know the covid backup but seems poorly done that they are still that far behind.

Fulham beat Blackburn 2-0.

Harrison Reed was excellent again. Iâ€™d love him up here.

ronnie_allen · « **Reply #7024 on:** March 05, 2022, 11:40:42 PM »

Just seen the highlights of Fulham game on Quest. Mitrovic with another hideous laughable dive with no action taken either way. Meanwhile Blackburn player gets booked for going down under a much more genuine challenge that looked like it could have been a penalty.
