    Surprise package

    I don't know whether this has been discussed before, but which, if any, of our younger players will make their mark this season? Eccles looks a fair bet but what of Drysdale, Tavares, Bapaga, Reid, Burroughs, Rowe, Howley, Ngandu, Nee, Dinanga, Rus and others? It wouldn't be unreasonable to...

    So...

    I have to admire the optimism in this post. Be aware that those 11 penalties cost us 8 points and 12 more goals, following the same pattern, would yield another 8 points. So, taken together, the extra 16 points would have taken us to 71 points, 6 points off the play-offs. Just underlines the...

    England win Euros or Sky Blues get promoted to Premier League?

    Am I alone in being astonished and disappointed that one in five of our fans would sooner that England won one match than that we had the season of our lives, and potentially secured our future? WTF.

    Yes. We started with a 10-point deduction and would have finished 9th otherwise, still 13 points outside the play-offs. Only 3 teams scored more goals than us.

    If I'm allowed to include Cup goals then in 2013/14 - Wilson 22, Clarke 18, Moussa 14, Baker 10 (21, 15, 12, 7 otherwise). In all we scored 84 goals (74 in League 1) yet finished 18th. Remarkable.

    Pre Season 21/22 Thread

    As President of the SPWH (Society for the Protection of 'Wouldn't Have') I have to object to this early sighting of a 'wouldn't of'. How about every subsequent sighting requires £5 to be contributed to the Season Ticket Fund?

    Haven't we usually got a few in by now?

    Since you asked, Ollie Turton [Blackpool - Huddersfield] Free Charlie Austin [West Brom - QPR] Free Reece Burke [Hull - Luton] Free

    Club Legends

    17th, 11th, 15th, 14th & 19th - our best years? The only remarkable thing that Strachan did as manager was to name himself as a sub so that he could run up and down the entire touchline 'just warming up'.

    Club Legends

    Yes, let's not forget that Strachan achieved what 10 previous managers had failed to do - he got us relegated.

    Club Legends

    Agreed, but it was the one and only time that we had the Football League's top scorer

    Club Legends

    Quite so. His 49 goals in the 1931-32 season is exactly how many the entire team scored this season.

    Released players - all leagues

    Interesting to see just how many of them have played for us at one time of another. Anyone brave enough to attempt this?

    Statto

    Yes, it's Gyokeres, Shipley, O'Hare, Hyam, James and Og where, using some fancy footwork, Og is either Osti gard or Own goal.

    Statto

    A few statistics at the end of a very satisfactory season In only 5 of our games was the difference between the two teams greater than 2 goals (1 win, 4 defeats) The only draws we had were 0-0 (7) and 1-1 (6) We took 10 out of 36 points off the top 6 and 13 out of 18 off the bottom 3 After a...

    Relegation final stretch , who will stay up

    Of the 9 possible outcomes, Derby get relegated 4 times, Rotherham and Sheff Wed get relegated 7 times each. My feeling is that Rotherham will lose and Derby and Sheff Wed will draw, so Derby will survive. How many times were we doing this type of calculation during our time in the top tier?

    Overall thoughts on the season

    Dangerous to set expectations, but it looks like an extra 10 points would be needed to get into the top half, so we'd need to do what we did this season but turn 5 draws into wins. Not unreasonable.

    Overall thoughts on the season

    Both Derby and Rotherham can still get 46 points, can't they?

    Why were we ever worried?

    I do have some sympathy with Rotherham and Wycombe, promoted with us, who have found life in the Championship just too hot. Had our results against just these two been reversed we would now be staring relegation in the face. Well done us.

    Everyone still confident ?

    Deja vu for those of us who watched them in the Premier League. 'If they'd painted the Titanic sky blue etc etc'

    Fair comment. I couldn't get a hair cut during lockdown and put on some weight. Lovely legs though.
