  1. While I continue my inner battle of renewing Vs not renewing the ST this year, can’t recall if when you do stop it, does that mean your not able to get a ST in the early discount period of starting again? I’ve had them for several years now so can’t remember if this is just a renewal period?
  2. IMO we have to sell Akpom now for ~£12m to align with the exact new model of the club buying low, selling when they could be at a premium and not taking the risk of losses. Other clubs with this ethos do this all the time, that’s the aim, but our difficulty is that we are at the start of this transition so have less youth quality coming behind to fill the gaps. That grows with time and becomes a natural cycle with Brighton being the prime example.
  3. As soon as I seen Chuba named as a sub I thoughts it’s a statement rather than him actually being available to play. IMO it was to reassure the fans that he is still here, part of the plans and due back shortly to calm people but could also could be the opposite, show Sheff Utd that he is happy in our squad and it’s going to take a serious offer from them to get him to move. Personally, I think the 1st, as the 2nd is obvious already.
  4. Luton really are planning for Championship football next season. If Boro had got promoted, I don’t think we would have gone back in for Giles. Difficult to see how he puts himself in the shop window there for another PL season after this one. Gutted we look to be missing out on him, quality assists and was hopeful another Championship season he would have improved defensively as well with the difference in quality from the PL, but he will be exploited in that Luton team unless they are parking the bus every game.
  5. Seen that. Surely that is for an imminent announcement either way and then he will put a photo of him signing/with a shirt. He doesn’t need to go to Rockcliffe to see what our set up is like so the fact he was there Thursday has got to be a positive sign.
  6. Excited for the atmosphere but nervous as hell for the game! Remember occasions like this for a lifetime, Brentford/Brighton at home in recent history come to mind. Hopefully see Forss starting and Howson make the squad at 7pm announcement to start building the confidence. UTB.
  7. Gutted it sounds like we have lost Ramsey and Forss at the wrong time. Will have a massive impact losing our starting wide players and no rotation up top other than Crooks. We were pulling out of 50:50 chances last game which is expected and will change during Playoffs but our attacking fluidity has took a severe hit.
  8. Although I can very much understand the % increase in ST this year it's what others have said regarding where we sit on the ST prices for the league that leaves a slight sour taste. I do appreciate our running costs look to be higher with the 'facilities package' we have, and it's likely that same package probably helps entice certain players to us as it's a professional set-up which I'm happy with, but more transparency going forward would help especially on the actual stadium running costs. I'll again renew as I have done the previous 10, but loyalty reward seems to be on the decline especia
  9. Highly subjective so don't reply with loads of results that will be different but yes, when you put our games together it's some overhaul we would need to overcome to get the better of Sheff Utd at this stage. As others have said we would need to go on some run now and Sheff Utd would have to start falling at games they are predicated to easily win. Cementing 3rd/4th place would be a great achievement for this season, so hopefully our good form continues to give us that chance and a crack at the playoffs with the advantage.
  10. It's the way they have their fixtures that gives me the very small idea of it being a remote positibility: They have Millwall away as the early kick off this Saturday after playing a hard game against us last night with Millwall having had an extra day. They have a mid week game extra between Watford and Blackburn against Tottenham in the FA Cup at home. Their GIH against Reading is then the Tuesday after the Blackburn game before they face Luton at home at the weekend and head to Sunderland on the following Wednesday. It's a hard set of games in a congested time with Wa
  11. I was thinking the same but then could it be another metric when looking at a potential player signing if that player has more white cards against him and therefore has better sportsmanship... Would fans even care about that ?
  12. Sky sports? I’ve had it on from the start. 403, red button, then got to click right to find the game
  13. Sorry to ask but does anyone know if the person requiring medical attention in the lower South stand towards the end of the game was able to come around? It didn’t look very promising which is really sad.
  14. Yeah I'm strangely the same... I'm certainly looking forward to the game tomorrow night after a full day at work more so now than I was 2 days ago. I'd say that's a mix knowing Wilder has left, so it's not a dreaded insanity repeat of doing the same game after game, and actually a small bit optimistic to at least see Leo lead the players out to some sort of passion and basic football. I really do feel the players will actually play for Leo so that's a decent basic start, and hopefully we have a bounce while the hierarchy can consider the longer term manager more at ease.
  15. I can actually see Leo doing ok at least for the short term, he knows the club and players very well, has watched and probably gained a lot of experience under 4-5 managers now and fans will be behind him sort term especially with his passion. I’m sick of getting these big ego well known managers who come here and end up failing mostly because they are too stubborn to change from their ideas when things go badly. Time for a new name….
