OneSizeFitz

Not if he watched his performance at the weekend, he wouldn't...

Seem to remember Torquay going down with 51 points that season we stayed up on the last day by beating Bradford. Had Wrexham not had a 10-point deduction for entering administration, MK Dons would also have gone down with 51 that season, so it can happen...! Been a while since 52 hasn't been enough though...

Echo those sentiments - well done all involved.

I think the point is that had a team finished either level (with better goal difference), or with one point more than those teams in 21st, they would've stayed up. The teams in 20th might have finished more points ahead than this, but they didn't need to in order to avoid relegation.

We haven't spent much time in the opposition's penalty area all season, in fairness...

Why would we convert him to a centre-half when centre-half is our strongest position, and he's playing well up front?

Seems like the perfect opportunity to show the powers-that-be that the acoustics in the Chaddy aren't so bad after all.

Why not sell them as reserved seats then...?

...and that's despite having Jake Cassidy up front! (though give him his due, he does seem to have been scoring a couple)

Not sure many fans would have contributed to a crowdfunding campaign for perimeter advertising...

Scary to think where we'd be this season without Clarke and Ripley, it really is.

Squad player at best.

He's 21...

Interesting that he's reached that conclusion after seeing him play for a whole 20 minutes...

That wasn't really my argument, I just wanted to make it clear that he didn't actually have a goal per game scoring record at Hearts. Society's recent tendency towards 'post-truth' culture has made me increasingly fractious towards arguments premised on misinformation. But as you ask... I don't know. It concerns me slightly, however, that a succession of, frankly, pretty mediocre clubs in equally medicore leagues (ourselves included) haven't deemed him good enough to play consistently, despite his apparent pedigree. Given a prolonged chance, he might bag a couple, but I'm as yet unconvinced that he's the answer to our problems, and suspect he'll be released at the end of the season. I'd be delighted to be proved wrong.

So he scored 5 in 17 for Hearts? Or am I being stupid? The 1.411 figure you keep quoting is the number of minutes he played for Hearts, but using the European full-stop separator rather than a comma (i.e. 1,411 minutes). It's not a ratio... Arguably more interesting is that he's only ever scored 6 in 48 first-team games in his career by the age of 24. Not sure he's quite the goalscoring Messiah we'd like him to be, but hope to be proved wrong...!

Is that right...?

No Keeper on the bench? Uh oh...

Don't think this ever happened - Millwall were already a Championship team by then. But the point still stands...!

Do we really need another right-back...?

Uche is shirt number 34, just for reference: https://twitter.com/stevecrossy17/status/812643608251731969

Shez left Newport on January 13th... Warren Feeney signed Wilkinson (and Smalley, coincidentally) on January 21st.

This is up there with Steve Marlet and Patrick Berger.

Would be amazed if he's still here in 2 and a half year's time.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him gone after that.
