They really don't like us, think Morsy should have been red carded but fair play they did predict an injury time winner.

Predicts after the latest games

Leeds 97.5
Leicester 96.47
Ipswich 95.36

Based on the average of 10,000 simulation runs.

However it does give us a 46.7% chance of auto promotion up from 28.8 %

Would these be classed as private?

Coventry City’s manager, Mark Robins and their head of recruitment, Dean Austin texts about Watford during their game against Swansea 😳

They seem very confident playing Watford at the weekend

Surely that’s their team talk done… pic.twitter.com/uJRCZdKYMA

Morsy now on 12 bookings
at 18:08 24 Feb 2024

There is no amnesty for 15 bookings , automatic 3 match ban. Too much to ask for that he can go the final 12 games and only pick up two more?

Not a new article, but Wyke's cardiac arrest and recovery to still be playing football is something that passed me by.

Long but interesting read. He's likely to be playing tonight.

New scare - Tuanzebe & DR Congo

Our new centre back won't start getting picked for DR Congo will he ? I see he is eligible and they have qualified for the African cup of Nations.

Interview process - your views
at 16:27 13 Nov 2023

My daughter has been interviewed for a reasonably senior IT job (search engine optimisation). She's had 3 interviews with the company lasting in total about 3 1/2 hours. At the end of the last interview the hiring manager said she is then required to do a fairly detailed task - reviewing the companies website. They recommended that she shouldn't take more than 4 hours doing it - and then produce a report at the end of the weekend. My daughter said the task, included lots of detailed analysis that to do any justice would take a lot longer than the 4 hours specified. The upshot was she said she wouldn't do the task as effectively the company were asking for a days consultancy for free and this task was never previously mentioned in the interview process.

Without being too 'mumsnety' were the company being unreasonable? Was daughter justified in pushing back ? Clearly she's not overly fussed about this job but she would have been fairly aggrieved if she did that work and then failed to get the job.

I kind of admire her having the confidence to stand her ground but also part of me just wanted to tell her to just do the work.

Can someone clever please make sense of the "zones of control" diagrams on this page. I watched most of the games this season and although we haven't dominated possession like last year - I would have thought our pictorial looks better than they've displayed.

My only explanation is that we tend to pin back the opposition in their half and when we have possession in the oppositions half we don't pfaff about with it too long before there is an attempt on goal. Both these things mean the opposition is likely to have more possession in their half than us.

Three into two does not go.

With Southampton already relegated, come 19:00 BST on Sunday, two of Everton, Leeds and Leicester will be contemplating trips to Plymouth, Ipswich and Millwall in the Championship next season, while the survivor will toast a great escape

The opening para about the Premiership relegation battle. It would be a privilege for any of those teams to visit Portman Road.

Before these current players .....
at 06:36 28 Apr 2023

Who was the last signing to exceed expectations, or even improve while with us ?

Mings and Cresswell - possibly Waghorn , Webster - before that you'd have to go back to Murphy?

Wycombe at Plymouth last night
at 18:24 30 Dec 2022

They were on a good run but made 8 changes and 3 starters were playing their first game of the season. Seems a very odd selection.

I haven't seen Ainsworth justifying this anywhere - all been a bit over shadowed by the collapse of Tjay De Barr.
