Hmmm if we go on calculations we need to factor the six point deduction in somewhere.

40% of our wins have been v Preston and Brum.


:lol: Yes that’s true although 41% of our points haven’t come from those two sides if we don’t account for the points deduction.

Iirc, he was reaching the end of his contract and wanted a two-year deal, Birmingham were only prepared to offer him one-year.


Yeah that was a mistake on Birmingham's part really to let him go, he's been really solid for us throughout his time here. Maybe his legs are starting to go a little bit, if we keep him on I'd only want him as a squad player next season and on a 1 year deal really but he's been really good for us.


He is very slow now. Beaten quite a few times on the deck by quicker players but he had been a good signing for us.

Last home game of the season? What’s going on CR?


I’m going to Sweden in March for work the next 2-3 months. The Millwall game would technically the last one before I fly out but I’m either watching Cheltenham or going to going to the Rugby in Gloucester. We haven’t decided yet!

Cool. Enjoy your time in Sweden.
I have enjoyed watching Cheltenham this season. Michael Duff is doing a cracking job there. Someone I would quite like to see at Reading.

Very nice. Have you chosen a Swedish side to follow?

Disappointingly I haven’t managed to go this season. I think they should stay up which would be good, but they’re certainly a small club for that league. That being said, if Burton can get promoted who knows!

My local would be Kalmar FF which are only a couple of miles from where I’m staying, so I guess them. They have a 12k stadium and are currently 6th in the Allsvenskan. Table toppers and Swedish giants Malmö are coming to town on 3rd April.

great interview.

Bit shocked we only have four defenders for the medium term. How long is Dann out for? Can Laurent play at the back?

Don't know. Sometimes, but he's also injured.

They already have 41 points. With the bottom four all averaging less than a point per game then one more win and a couple of draws should see them safe. They have been in excellent form. Beating Sunderland and good draws away at Wycombe and Ipswich. I saw the Wigan game which was another draw and they were the better side.

Choosing the non-rugby option is always the correct choice

Especially once you consider the egg tickets are £35 each!

Rugby is pretty bent tbh.

That being said I did just buy VIP tickets to see Steps in September so I'll keep quiet.

The time has come for you to formally resign from this messageboard. Getting overly excited watching “H” do his thing in concert is unacceptable. I would remind you OMA that you are a grown man (allegedly).
