Yes, at the .moment we have most of the world saying it was unfair on us, and man u are the bad guys. I think we should now be a bit sanguine about it, and rise above all the bitterness and arguing.

This picture tells a different story to post 117 in the Thread Peter Bankes Needs Investigating. Haji is pointing to where he wants the ball played and is in the process of moving in that direction with the defender moving towards goal.

I agree with that but you have to choose your battles, we won the public opinion, but we don't want to be seen as a bunch of bitter poor losers. Cue Forest. Our time will come.

Personally I think we all need to calm down a bit. It's done now and nothing will change.

No, and I have no argument that the decision stands. However coming from a measurement & control engineering background I have a big problem with measurement which uses unsubstantiated data.

I don't believe it was a conspiracy, but unless I'm mistaken your argument relies heavily on the accuracy of a grass cutting operation.

Need to keep some budget for January as well, to refresh / cover for any long term injuries.

There is an old saying, the league table doesn't lie. I don't like that saying much but there is some truth in it most of the time. You are always going to get results you don't expect, losses and wins, but over 46 games I will be very surprised if we don't do well next season. (injuries etc...

This is the big positive to take from this

Personally I would add a left back to that (not convinced about JD), and possibly see how Tavares develops over the next few months, as he could possibly cover RW 2nd choice, and ST 2nd/3rd choice IF he continues to improve as he has done.

The Wolves result might have been considered a freak result by some neutrals, but add yesterday's performance in, and there is no doubt now that this team can compete with the best with just a few carefully chosen signings. We are much better playing against skillful players and can struggle...

To be honest I thought the same as you until I read SBTs other posts about it. Ironic humour?

Fuck var. But you have to take the positives. Wiped the smug smile off Roy Keane's face. Ian Wright seemed genuinely upset we didn't win. That's 2 top half premier league teams we have embarrased. We will be stronger next year. Just brilliant 2nd half performance.

Need some good scores as well to bring West Brom into it

I think we need to wait and see. DK came in during January 2023, 15/16 months ago. That's 3 transfer windows. January windows are notoriously difficult to do any decent business, and as said, last summer was beyond our dreams, due to the 2 sales.
