We could make the playoffs with 76 points I think we’d have to win every remaining game. 73 might be enough! But there is no chance of that either. It’s nice to see a functional hungry team who seem bothered, Let’s hope for top ten, then build for next season. |

Ben Pearson is the reason we are 14th not 21st, without doubt the best thing to happen this season. We're dog shite without him, and to a lesser extent Sarkic. For me it shows how ineffective Thompson is, yet people still seem to rate him. He's never been good enough for this level. I think Thompson is a bit better in some ways than your typical replacement champ midfielder. Pearson is a step above and suits what we need. I can't imagine how I'd ever play thommo above Pearson but we had far bigger weak spots before the window at GK, LB, CF IMO. Which is partly why I've defended Thompson a lot. Dunno if I've explained that well tbh. |

Dunno if I've explained that well tbh. It’s a fair comment. Regarding Thompson it’s more about what he doesn’t do rather than what he does. He’s not bad for example arsing up a pass or losing possession, he’s just not that great. |

Our goal for the rest of this season is to build some momentum, finish top half (something we’ve failed to do since relegation!!) generate some feel good and momentum heading into the summer, and hopefully arrest the steady decline in ST holders by achieving all that. That would be a victory at this point. A few more performances like the last two will re-enthuse people I’m sure.

Very reminiscent of Alan Durban’s time at Stoke. Please.. not too similar to Durban. I'm sure you will remember his statement about entertainment and the circus. Criticism from Jimmy Hill. 0-0 at Arsenal. |
