    Sorensen, unfortunately, does not 'bolster' the midfield and is a liability in that position due to his lack of mobility. 

    I don’t think Sorensen bolsters any position. That’s why I’m surprised at all the people on here advocating he plays as CB or in the middle. If they’re not going to play Duffy I suspect the only realistic alternative is Hanley, as Kenny has to play CM given injuries.

    So glad Essex didn’t get a ticket, it’s going to be tough anyway, but really don’t need wingers there to make it harder.

    Going by the home sales as well, his opinion of us that travel miles for home games, shouldn’t be allowed to be season ticket holders is so funny.

    I’d disagree - we really do need our wingers turning up at Leeds…

    I've been up Ben Nevis....(that's not a euphemism by the way)....

    Ben is 4,413 feet....and according to my maffs it is 1,387 feet less than what our Stu 'peaked' at....

    I'm fairly fit and I thoroughly enjoyed it and the stunning scenic views on a fortunate brilliant weather day ....and I achieved it without so much as a morsel of Kendal mint cake....

    I’ve Ben Nevis on many occasions this season when watching the way we play out from the back…

    He’s not going to be jailed, he’ll get a long driving ban and perhaps some community service. He’s a ****, but given that he was lucky and didn’t injure anyone then I don’t get where all this ‘we should sack him’ is coming from. Let’s see what his sentence is and if he displays contrition and some humility. If he doesn’t then maybe it’s time for a conversation about his future…

    As to whether he plays on Sunday I guess it comes down to whether Hanley is up to speed.

    Assuming Rowe and Sara are both sold and we sign willock our wide areas would currently look like this: 

    Borja 

    Willock

    Fass

    Kamara

    Springett

     

    Springett I would imagine is going to be offloaded one way or another, so if anything we could do with abit more quality depth in these positions, I'd be looking for one more at least. 

    And Fassnacht

    start Sydney VH, and let Sarg sit in an armchair on the sidelines to be brought on as sub if Hull City are 5 nil up against Plymouth.

    start Fisher, rest Stacey.

    start Lungi, rest Nunez and/or Sara and/or Kenny.

    start Montoia, rest McCallum.

    give Rowe some game time from start, rest Borja.

    give Hanley and Baath a start, Duffy needs resting.

    Is Dimi ready for a few minutes?

    Get squad ready for next two/three matches, but have a great subs bench in case of any eventuality.

    We don't need unnecessary injuries like we have picked up on Onel, Gibbs and Barnes.

     

    The logic of that is all well and good. But then, of course, we rested Barnes on Saturday and brought him on as sub for 10 minutes in which his injury flared up. Sod's Law that you rest a player and bring them on if things get dicey, only for them to then get crooked...

    And Fulham also shipped 6 past us on the final day as well. It's squeaky bum time. Brum will be right up for it. I don't think it's done and dusted by a long shot, with our away form! 

    You mean our away form that brought a 1-0 victory against Preston the last time we travelled…

    Also, it may not matter by then in a bin sense, but Ipswich are home to Huddersfield who are 3 points from safety with a slightly negative GD. They won't be playing for nothing- would have to hope for Hull & Norwich wins and an unlikely 3 points at Poorman Rd.

     

     

    Huddersfield aren’t playing for anything other than pride at Portaloo Road. They’d require a +16 swing to catch Plymouth (and also need Brum not to beat us). I think we can safely say that’s not happening.

    It’s 9 if we lost 4:0 and they won 4:0 we would both finish on +12 meaning we would be in the playoffs on goals scored 79 to 71. Like wise if we lose 1:0 and they win 7:0 we would both be +15 we would still win on goals scored. 

    It isn’t, it’s 8!

    We’re: F 79 A 63    +16

    Hull:   F 68 A 59     + 9

    Therefore a swing of 8 goals needed.

    (Saying all this I think we’ll now be fine, but the facts are that it’s effectively an 8-goal swing required for Hull to overtake us.)
