    Binner.

    Would take them over Leeds any day of the week in the playoffs. Rutter, Summerville, James, Bamford, Gnonto and Piroe is significantly more threatening than anything the scum can field.

    Well its up to us to make sure we avoid Leeds- at least in the semis.

    We're 5th , beat Birmingham and we'll get Southampton...if indeed thats what we think we may prefer

    Don’t want an Ipswich win, but really do not fancy us needing a result at Brum next week, it’s got Fulham last game of season written all over it.

    Indeed....St Andrews can be intimidating when it needs to be, and it will be next week.

    Our players could easily crumble...I dont fancy Wagner managing the situation either in response to what might be going on elsewhere in other games

    Anyone who doesn't want Ipswich to Win tonight really has to question himself, they win we are guaranteed Play offs , utter no brainer

    I dont...I want a draw which will have largely the same effect with the added bonus of them not winning a football match

    People who cant read a league table need to question themselves

    Hull lose - City in play offs

    Hull draw - City almost certainly in play offs as Hull would need to win st Plymouth, City lose at Brum and a GD turn around of 8 as we have scored more goals.

    Hull win - City need to win at Brum if Hull win at Plymouth. A Hull draw at Plymouth then scenatio 2 above applies.

    The Binners will be going all out to win tonight as that virtually guarantees them promotion.

    WBA still in the equation..

    McLean also had a very good season that year but again its you and I understand you got him so unbelievably wrong you've decided to double....triple....quadruple down. It's funny for everyone to read but your constant desperation to compare everyone to our POTS is a little embarrassing.

    You're constant resorting to XG is excrutiatingly embarrassing...as well as your notion tgat Skipp was overrated

    Where in your XG stats does it show the platform provided by Skipp to then allow the likes of Buendia and Pukki to be the force they were?

    Thats the difference between those who only look at numbers and those who watch the game

    Yeah. Our keeper made a record amount of saves by xG measure. If you don't like the stat that's fine but Brentford whilst conceding more and finishing below had a much lower xGA, but that then materialised for them the next season.

    Like I said, Skipp was a very good player but if you're willing to delve any deeper than surface level into football (I.e a bit more than "we not let in more goals so we better") then there's plenty of other conclusions that tally up a bit better.

    But I'm thinking you should just stick to the surface level anyway considering the amount of times you said playoffs was impossible with Kenny in midfield.

    So what about all the situations that Skipp snuffed out before they became 'chances' and therefore a stat on your sacred Xg charts??

    Did you wafch any games that season?, Skipp carried McLean through that season he even made Rupp look a good player alongside him.

    He was comfortably the best defensive mudfuelder in the league to the extent that fans and Webber wanted him back the following season but Spurs needed him

    Doesnt sound 'over rated'

    We got 90 pts + that season in no small part because we had a midfielder like him in the side.

    This season, without one, we're 20 pts off the top ...if we had one in our midfield all season instead of McLean we'd be a damn sight closer point wise to bl0ody Ipswich..

    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.

    Jesus ....xg

    We conceded 34 goals as opposed to 55 in the previous promotion team

    ...but it was all because our keeper made more saves and not in anyway because we had an effective CDM ??!!???  Lol

    I 100% agree with this.

    He was obviously a very good player but had it not been for the exceptional heroics of Krul that second promotion season, we'd have conceded nearly as many goals as the first time around. Fans thought, me included, he made us so much more defensively solid but the stats don't back that up - Krul just had a ridiculous season.

    Not to say he wasn't a great signing because he was - but he wasn't the saviour we thought he was.

    Stats dont back that up?

    We conceded 34 goals in 38 games in no small part having an effective screener sho could win the ball and break up play in front of our back 4, something we've clearly missed since

    Its says a lot if you think Skipp was overrated but praise an inferior player like McLean

    We're 20 points shy of where we were in that season...a player of Skipp's nature not being in midfield is one of the major reasons why

    Oliver Skipp, a very good player, but anyone would think he was world class and almost solely responsible for the success we had, so in my view over rated. Would I have him back, of course, see initial comment. 

    In our last promotion season he was comfortably the best defensive miffielder in the league.

    Sadly it coincided with covid so we didnt get many chances to see him in the flesh, I went to the 3 home games where we were allowed 2k or 3k in at carrow rd and he was an obvious class above

    Nope, he’s had his time with us and I wouldn’t want to go back.

    Part of me would be intrigued to see if he could recreate his success without a Buendia as I think it would be much more like the first season rather than the two that followed (2nd tier ones) but that’s no more than idle curiosity 

    If he cant finish in the top 2 with this Leeds team, I wonder what chance with us with potentially no Sara and Sargent?
