    Not sure about the ‘useless’ part, but the club were also more than happy to move him on last summer, and for a fraction of what his current value is.

    Better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all 😅

    Smaller sample size, but some said similar about Sheehan this time last year. Not that I disagree in principle about ‘points vs position’ but extrapolating part season ‘points per game’ is largely irrelevant as we all start with zero in August and finish somewhere based on the 46 games that...

    Agree that 16th shouldn’t come with a caveat and neither should 9th. You finish where you deserve to finish after 46 games. My point was that the position shouldn’t alter the thinking/plan for the summer. I think most supporters and those inside the club know what we need, irrespective of how...

    See also Craig Bellamy’s comments about him. Doesn’t mean that Cullen wasn’t poor against Bosnia and has been at times when starting this season for us. When coming off the bench he usually does what is expected and prior to today, I think, had more goals from the bench that the rest of the...

    Very true. Posted earlier that we could end up anywhere from 9th to 17th on 60-65 points. Shouldn’t get carried away at either end of that, but need to be working hard on and off the field to identify how best to get an extra ~10 points & goals next season which would likely guarantee a top 8...

    Agree that there are no other options atm, but I’m still not convinced why anyone would want to give away a player who’s likely to play all 46 league games this season (unless thinking purely from a financial point of view if his alleged wages are correct). There’s plenty on the books that have...

    Agree about having perspective but football supporting generally isn’t like that. It’s always feast or famine! 3 points between 9th and 16th and very little to choose between any of those teams. I’d throw Sheffield United in that group and we could easily finish in any of those places by the...

    Hasn’t been at the level I was expecting, or that Ipswich fans made out, but I don’t understand the huge desire to get the only outfield player in the EFL to have played every minute this season off our books. Assuming Santos will find another club/will have his contract paid up, we have only 2...

    Swedish league finished in November so wasn’t expecting him to play 90 mins straight away, but he’s been with us for 2 months now so just surprised at how little he’s played since that one start at home when he came off at half time. Let’s see what happens over the next 6 games…

    Unless there’s some financial penalty with Brighton for not playing Yalcouye - doubtful based on the how little he’s played in the rest of this season - then I agree. Feel like I’m repeating myself after every game but I don’t understand why Walta’s not getting any game time (unless there’s an...

    The stats are the stats. Not really about opinions, albeit it’s up to you how much notice you take of them as it’s fair to say that only the result matters in reality. Think we’ll agree to disagree on the eye test part. I thought we were better for most of the opening 25 mins and definitely...

    Not sure about a fluke result? Almost double XG, more shots on target, more of the ball. The eye test told me that it was pretty even throughout, with both teams having 10-15 minute periods when they were on top.

    Definitely happy just to watch in the house these days! When it first went to the Ally Pally (and then the PL started) it was like an indoor version of the cricket. Loads of booze, lots of singing but a pretty chilled out vibe. Seems totally different in the last 10 years.

    Glamorgan Cricket 2026

    That’s dented the mood 🤣 Especially when I’ve not heard of the entire Yorkshire attack! Probably on me not really following any other county cricket apart from Glamorgan results for the last decade though!
