How about we try and have an injury free season too?? Dont think once this season we have fielded Obita with Swift and Kelly on the same starting 11. Failures of this year could be largely down the inconsistent squads, formations and injuries. By next season Clement should know his preferred format...

From Despair To Where? 4 pages in and no-one's offered an opinion on our Leichtensteiner saviour in waiting, Sandro Wieser.

Try to sell him, realise no one is gonna buy him, wait to release him in 2019.

Can you release players still in contract? surely its not that easy. It's never going to be easy to shift contracted players unless there is a demand for them, unlikely with our overpaid, underperforming lot. My opinion assuming we stay up: Mannone - Keep Jakkola - Out of Contract, release Bond - O...

The Prisoner Can we have Adrian Popa back please?!

Is he gone, or out on loan?

On loan to a Saudi club.

I think some people have short memories with regard to BT, after last season he was getting a lot of praise for his work at the club but now he's the worst thing in the world. That said, I'm sure we wouldn't have signed Aluko under NH, he would have pulled out of the deal long before they started as...

Can’t see Joey or Edwards playing next season Swift/Bacuna/Kelly is prob our best combo but Bacuna’s stupidity has messed that up I’m not convinced Evans is any better than an ok fill in. He hasn’t really progressed and never seems to dominate a game Interesting to see Rinomhota was picked ahead of...

And I remember I got laughed at back in October when I said that we could go down. We've been close to the drop even if we do get the points to survive. I very much doubt people were laughing at your for suggesting we might go down. I know you were one of the people calling for Stam's head in Octob...

genome What would happen if Cardiff and Derby played each other in the Playoff Final? Considering both are perennial bottlers, would the universe implode?

We'll somehow win the play-offs.

I'd like Fulham and probably Villa to go up as they are probably most likely to be up there competing next season anyway, should Clement work his magic and improve the squad. Obviously guesswork now but I feel this division would be weaker with those two promoted.

oxf*rd me, the drummers are back

Reading 2-0 Sunderland HT
Reading 3-0 Sunderland FT

Bod 23
Swift 38
Barrow 64

The great HNA purge hath begun.

Barnsley are a real wildcard when it comes to working out who will take that third spot, they have a game in hand and are the only team who can realistically better our goal difference.

Horsham Royal What / who were the black armbands for?
Noticed Villa / Cardiff wearing them too.

Probably Ray Wilkins.

Rusty royal From the BBC website
Fulham go second, eight points behind leaders Wolves, with a 1-0 victory over 10-man Reading.

How long were we down to 10 men

It's all clear now, Bacuna got himself sent off so the headlines would make the 1-0 loss sound more impressive.

This was going to be the most likely round of fixtures that dragged us closer to the relegation zone, thankfully everyone lost, except Sunderland who basically lost, a draw isn't good enough for them.

Norwich equalised, thank oxf*rd.

Sutekh Ipswich 1-0 Barnsley

oxf*rd me, the heavens are aligning.
