  1. People forget how good Snodgrass was for Hull in the PL until he signed for WHU. I’d sign both Snodgrass and Johnstone in the summer. That will probably depend on promotion but if we stayed down and kept this group as whole as possible I think we’d win the league next year. CM is our weakest area at the minute and that’s where we need to spend big if we go up.
  2. there’s not much between Derby and Boro. Boro maybe have more match winners but we have more than both. We always get done by fulham away so as you say if we meet at Wembley it’ll be like a home game.
  3. Big difference? We’ve only lost to one of those teams in the league this year. To me there’s not much in them and Fulham aren’t that much better than us if at all either. All these games are about who turns up on the day who gets that bit of luck at a crucial time. I’m both dreading them and can’t wait either.
  4. Think it’s more to do with loads of fixtures in a short time. They play again Friday v Swansea in the PL Cup Final and the semi was last week along with last league game. It’s a shame as Millwall would’ve been a good game to throw in some of the U23.
  5. Isn’t the fact most of us didn’t know he did this much for charity shows it’s not for the kudos? Gabby deserves a send off and if people don’t like him fair enough don’t cheer but in a few years we’ll look back at his career and love his Blues record and wonder if only Vidic was sent off and this will hopefully be from a high league position in the PL.
  6. Hull are in a bit of form if they can win it’ll set it up nicely. I don’t think it’ll set it up for us more likely Fulham but we can always hope a Blues win sends us up!!!
  7. It’d be nice to have a tiny hope on the last day in one way in the other I’d rather know were we are. Just imagine Blues throwing the game v Fulham to stop us going up. Hopefully Derby win tonight then we can worry about the rest later.
  8. Not Rotating after Wolves was a big mistake. Playing Jedinak when’s he just travelled back from Australia was another. There’s been a few times when we shouidve rotated and never and even Bruce has said its cost us. He’s started doing a lot more rotation now but maybe needed to before Xmas but we did get a few injuries. For all Bruce’s experience he’s messed up a few times this year and you can’t afford many if any. He seems to have settled again after a period of barmy substitutions. I just hope if we go behind in the 1st leg he doesn’t panic and throw on all the strikers or get rid of the midfield!!
  9. Doesn’t unveiling it come under the same embargo? When does the Unibet deal finish?
  10. What sport involves rubber kits?
  11. Where are all the ones who mock up our kits today? Could someone do some with the LUKE badge and Recon on the front?
  12. We already have some of our stuff made by them so I can’t see it being any worse but I actually believe it’ll be better as I think we are the first football team for the most to do this with. The whole point of doing it this way is to keep on to play of the distribution side of things as it’s direct. No idea how it’ll work but as long as the kit looks good who cares. Interesting how much the deals worth though.
  13. Can you explain what it is you like about him? Or is it just a feeling? The football is hit and miss. The performances go up and down massively. Team selections are barmy at times as are substitutions. He seems a nice bloke but I don’t think he’s got a big club mentality in him to manage us. He’s used the same old plan for us but we are a different beast and he has gotten a lot of leeway as promotion is still attainable but if we go up what will he give us. If this is as good as he gets and I think it is he has to go. Get Jokanovic and ask him to bring Sessegnon and Cairney with him. Might be cheaper yo-yo just buy Fulham though!!
  14. If we get to Wembley I’ll be confident but it’s the away leg that worries me. We have a capability to beat anyone but we also have one to lose badly. When we have a stinker we have a bad one. After watching Millwall hammer Fulham for 20 min I don’t think we’d have got throughout at nil nil so having Boro might be better for us. Physical sides are more of a threat than footballing ones for us. Hopefully we’ll have an idea after this weekend who we will play but bring it on. We can smash anyone at Villa Park.
  15. Being a Championship club we’d be lucky to get a decent deal off of the top lot but looking into this it might be the future for club s below the top tier. Ultimately if the kit is mint we will not care and it seems fanatics produce top quality gear and are massive in the US.
  16. But wasn’t that made by Nike designed by Luke? Are Fanatics going to have their symbol on our shirt as the manufacturer? Don’t think they’re the manufacturer of any at the minute? I hope we don’t hang around unveiling the new kit now then.
  17. Maybe but it won’t be Fulham over 2 legs it’ll be one big game a team Wembley. Then hopefully our experience will come in handy.
  18. Sessegnon isn’t playing LB at the minute
  19. While we hope for 2nd the playoffs look nailed on for us and until 2 weeks ago I thought we’d have Derby but it’s all gone barmy. Looking at the teams it goes all the way down to about 11th I think I need with a decent chance. I’m hoping for Preston now just because we’d get a Iot of tickets. Most of the others would be about 2k with maybe Boro giving us a decent amount but not sure on that. Without wanting to jinx us 38300 for the final would be wicked.
  20. When ever we’ve had decent success in recent decades it’s been with winners and leaders from other clubs. McGrath Houghton Townsend Richardson Laursen Mellberg. Players from clubs as Big or bigger or natural leaders that’s were we went wrong under Sherwood with the signings that summer. We had decent enough players but no leaders or strong characters. Terry is all those. We need more especially if we go up. There’s plenty of players with ability about it’s their chances character hat separates the good from the great.
  21. The bloke behind Luke Is a Villa fan
  22. It’s undecided as yet. I asked the Villa the other day but I think it’ll be free and if the Dr has any sense he’ll make it cheap so it’s rammed and has an electric atmosphere.
  23. Having a sportswear manufacturer for kits and training stuff then a Name brand for the leisurewear would be good.
  24. It’d be interesting to see what form those teams were in before going up. Huddersfield chucked their last league game last year and hD 3 draws to go up I think. Does form mean anything? Or is it the lottery people claim? And by lottery I mean form goes out the window.
  25. He played well and scored a worldy it still doesn’t make up for the other lack lustre games. Jack is a far better player when he plays at a high tempo hopefully he realises that and continues to do so.
