    I blame NCISA

    We conceded less goals that season but our expected goals against was fairly similar to the first promotion season. The difference statistically was that Krul had a season that I think still breaks records at this level for the amount of xG saved... You're also completely missing the point re McLean but then you've been shown to be wrong on him at every turn and still persist but saying someone is overrated isn't the same as saying they're a bad player, if it's even possible for you to understand that.

    The late Fassnacht winner at Hull as well

    In an ideal world, that would be true. Trouble is, quite a largish proportion of people around us can't be arsed to don't get to their seats until the last possible moment pre-match. And a few seem happier in the bar until about 10 minutes into both halves. Exception being the Ipswich game. I don't get it really. First time I have had a season ticket since 1985, more of a casual supporter between then and the start of this season. I know football's changed etc, and that back in the dark days of mid-winter, things looked a bit bleak and it was difficult to be very enthusiastic. But this is meant to be exciting. Forget about how crap we might be if promoted - that debate's for another day. I realise the atmosphere today is unlikely to be like it was for Ipswich, I get that, but if it is the same as it was for Bristol City - even if we're struggling in the game - then there's a problem. There was a couple near us who, on about 85 minutes into a crucial game, were discussing the various cash-flow issues in their respective businesses. So many times, the manager and players say how the atmosphere helps. If you're cynical about this, you'll probably say, "Well you get paid enough, just play well and entertain me". But when they're out on the pitch, I doubt they're considering their finances. NB - I don't consider myself to be either a happy clapper, nor rigidly in one of the percentages a lot of posters like to quote. NB2 - Agree about the drum - wouldn't want to be next to it, but it does at least get people going.

    No I won’t, why should I leave simply because you don’t want your point of view challenged? Why can’t you explain why it’s daft wanting a problem solved, yet somehow perfectly sensible to want it to carry on just because it’s not your preferred solution that’s being used? To me that sounds rather childish

    If it was that unlikely that it wouldn't be an effective deterrent, there wouldn't be such desperate attempts to stop it happening. It will work, just like the Australian approach has worked. Nobody is going to want to risk their lives in a crossing to be immediately taken to Rwanda to have any claims processed there unless they actually happen to a legitimate claim. And as Fen said, once you've reduced those crossing illegally, then you can start looking at places where people are actually in danger to bring a fair share of legitimate claimaints in a safe and controlled manner. And there'll be less resentment because there's confidence that we aren't providing shelter to people abusing the rules. Nobody really believes any are going to be mistreated in Rwanda. It's simply a vexatious argument to stop it happening. It's a problem most want to see dealt with, every attempt to solve it receives fierce objections from the white saviour brigade, but they have no alternative answers.

    Jesus, it's just going around in circles. Maybe it would save us all a headache if you ****ed off somewhere else.
  9. Robert N. LiM
    Indeed. Two more points for us, one fewer for them. It is exactly the current gap between the two teams.
  10. Robert N. LiM
    In practice, with the EFL announcement this week, I suspect that has now happened.
  11. dylanisabaddog
    Hoping the drummer is there today. I still hate it but I'll live with it because it makes the atmosphere so much better. To get the atmosphere going beforehand couldn't they just for once turn off the awful pre match music and let the fans get on with it?
  12. Capt. Pants
    Knapper has no affiliation with Farke, so no reason to think why he would want him here. Wagner got no support in the January transfer window which suggests to me there are no funds available. My hunch is nothing will happen until Attanasio takes over full control. I can see Wagner's contract rolling on until such time the club is ready to move on.
  13. Monty13
    I can, but not for Farke. Knapper will want his own man next.
  14. Fen Canary
    Least worst is the filth to go up automatically, because that means we’ve still got a chance of promotion ourselves
  15. Fen Canary
    So it’s daft wanting a problem solved but not being too hung up about by which method it is achieved, but sensible for wanting a problem to continue because it’s not your preferred solution that’s being trialled to fix it?
  16. yellowrider120
    Spot on, 100% in fact.
  17. Ulfotto
    Might end up being defining point of the season in the very first game.
  18. Robert N. LiM
    The one thing that niggles at me over this is that he kept Huddersfield up. So if - if - we did manage to get promotion, that would be a significant item in the 'pro' column. Even as I type that I think I'm getting ahead of myself. Really hope we win today.
  19. Today
  20. Herman
    It's that sort of daft view that leads to even dafter ideas.
  21. Commonsense
    He’s done the German option and failed miserably, so I’m not sure that he’d want to repeat it.
  22. Commonsense
    May depend on whether he had Sara.
  23. Fen Canary
    There are far too many variables involved in crime and prisons to try and link it a to simplistic argument about deterrence with immigration. However for examples of deterrence working there’s obviously Australia where the number of boats increased dramatically when their offshore processing was suspended, as well as in the States when the number of migrants crossing the border massively increased once Biden reversed some of Trumps harsher policies
  24. Soldier on
    He has spoken about Norfolk holdings and raising capital for a player trading model. Not referenced any third party ownership though and not previously seen any discussion/speculation around the Sara purchase .
  25. Robert N. LiM
    Yeah, our best route is surely two legs against Southampton, then a one-off game against Leeds or WBA. Also, we could do with winning today... Last night makes it clearer than ever that there are No Easy Games In The Championship (Except Rotherham at Home)
  26. Commonsense
    No, as has been pointed out earlier in the thread this is illegal!
  27. Robert N. LiM
    That's a very sane appraisal but I'd be amazed if that's the majority view of Leeds fans. It's certainly interesting to note that they could end up with four points fewer than our title season of 20-21, and that that will be the difference between being 'the best team in Championship history' ((c)BBC) and failure.
