Christmas Tree

Only thing I could think of was that Howe has seen enough in training to see a player who will do a good enough job (when asked), with an overall much better team around him. He’ll do as a squad player for a year while we spend of other areas of the pitch. He’ll then also have some value when the jan 23 or summer 23 window comes along?

Yup, back of the settee job this

Or Howes just taken the decision to rest them all up for Thursday.

Looking at the team I might join you on the drink

Nowt better than drunk posts

Just watching the Everton full match replay. Cracking pre match warm up fodder. What an atmosphere and crunching tackles everywhere.

Sorry Alex, it was a little trap for Craig. Wasn’t expecting anyone caught in the crossfire

Just clicks and attention

What we’ve done is put a gap between us and the bottom teams, but that’s all it is. We’ve still got to win a lot more points.

I refer you to your parents

What, wanting to be as far away from 3rd bottom and mathematically safe ASAP? Its pretty simple

Eddie: Hold my beer!

Got no idea what to expect today given the possible injuries / team selection. Injury concerns over Joelinton, ASM, Bruno, Schar And others like Fraser and Shelvey who looked run into the ground after Southampton. If we can get a strong enough first 11 out then I’m hopeful of getting points, but we might have to get a few goals early before we drop like flies in the later stages. Decent team & 3-2 to us

Horrible regime but they won’t be going after them for a while (if ever).

Todays wish list Nice to end the day in 11th place, 13 points clear and almost safe

pretty depressing stuff

You’ve been wetter than an otters pocket for months man. You’ve probably still got your pull ups at arms reach

Unbelievable and with the players we’ve had missing.

Apparently Elliott Anderson scored a cracking goal on loan today. Past 5 players then the keeper. Hopefully someone has it.

All I’m bothered about is staying up, getting to summer and spending shed loads of cash. Finishing 10th or 17th is secondary. I’m a gap man baby

I don’t understand your logic. If I shouldn’t worry about Burnley as our safety is a done deal, then why worry about Brentford overtaking us? Brentford look out of it also so it’s really about Everton, Leeds and Burnley for third place. You’ve been concentrating for weeks on nicking a point here and there to get us safe. Id still prefer the 10 point gap going into tomorrows game. Reducing to 9 is just an extra point needed to reach guaranteed safety. So
