I'm lost. Danny Thomas may have given away the answer to The Goalkeeper, but I can't see where he has commented on Right Back. And I think I know the answer to that. Please clarify, Grendel, which question is null and void?

We didn't have to last season. (Well, not play them all twice!)

We've played 9 of the top 10 teams in the table. We've taken points off 3 of the current top 4. And apart from Cardiff in 11th place you have to go right down to Birmingham in 16th place before you come to another team that we've picked up any points from. We seem to be doing better...

Yes. We've taken 5 points in our four games against the top four. 7 pts from four games with teams now with fewer pts than us. And five points from four teams who are two points or more above us. We have yet to get a point in our four games against those currently outside the top 4, but in...

Pete, when you wrote in your notes: DB – The planning application is being worked on but it’s not a straightforward process. Travel plans need to be incorporated, for example A46 link road and light rail solution. Lots of work going on and meetings taking place daily. Are you saying these...

Grendel is usually depicted as a monster or a giant, although his status as a monster, giant, or other form of supernatural being is not clearly described ... and thus remains the subject of scholarly debate. (Wikipedia) Blimey! Scholarly debate on SBT? So that's what it is.

At the start of the season I assumed we'd get no points at all off the teams in the top six at the time we played them! Championship survival would depend on getting 2 points out of 3 against the bottom six (a total of 24 points). And hopefully a point a game from the other 22 games (making...

That very true... Now if he were to perform some acrobatics while scoring that would be different! But still wouldn't count, even if particularly if it were in a Cup Final,

No personal comments on players' sizes, please. ;-)

Puzzled by the tables. The total of games won by all the teams together is greater than the number of games that all the teams shown in both tables have lost. Does that mean some teams are not shown in these tables?

In 2015, Rotherham survived in 21st place out of twenty-four team by getting 46 points. They would still have avoided being in the bottom three if they had got 42 points. Millwall, the highest off the three relegated club in 22nd place only got 41 points and were relegated. In 2016, Rotherham...

BSB, you are right in saying it has been more than once in the last ten years teams on 42 have been relegated by a large margin. In 2013, 2017 and 2020. So I can see I was wrong to say it had only happened once. But in four of the last six years, 42 would avoided relegation (just). In 2015...

Only once in the last 10 years has a Championship team on 42 points been "relegated comfortably". On six occasions out of ten, teams with 42 points have actually avoided relegation altogether.

We've consistently scored whatever the opposition. When we played sides in the bottom half of the table we've scored a goal and they've scored one. When we've played teams in the top half, we've scored a goal and a quarter, they've scored two and half. We're still on course to reach 42 points...

What a rubbish thread. Despite the one bad mistake, I thought Biamou played well in the second half, both in attack and when defending corners. I think he still has lots to offer. Come to think of it, that has already made a much better thread. ;-)

Worse than that, on the same basis, we're on target for 11 red cards this season or nearly 50 missed games due to suspensions! Can anyone else come up with even more gloom and doom based on the "bias-free" statistics of the first nine games?

Godden captain till half time. Kelly to take over at half time with Walker on for Godden. Max off too at some point with good defensive options on bench in Fadz and McCallum and O'Hare and Allen for Max and Shipley if (when?) we're chasing the game.

a) How long would it take to get him up to speed in terms of fitness? b) How long would it be before he went AWOL c) The number of games where his presence would win us points Even if a<b, would b-a be greater than c? Answer: it's not rocket science.

Never mind Philosorapter's algorithms, PVA's stats are transparent and simple. In a full season, we play 23 games against top half teams and 23 games against bottom half teams. We have 16 games left against top teams (will get no points to add to the three we've just got from Reading). We...
