Great to hear the fans singing Casillas name yesterday. We have the hand that we have accrued now until the end of the season so we might as well make the best o it and do everything we can to push us over the line. I for one will endeavour to avoid negative posts until promotion is done or no longer possible. We need positive vibes people - let's give it to the lads for the next 13 and possibly beyond.

Post of the decade!

Agreed Alf . we indeed have the hand that we have accrued. nowt more can be done on that until season is over

. so the fans singing Kikos name and getting behind Kiko and the rest of lads during a game is very wise . its going to help a lot to instil confidence

# confidence
# positive determination MOT.

16 Feb 2020 22:01:21
Well said Alf 👍.

16 Feb 2020 22:02:55
Well cocka fricken doodle doo, you mean positivity breeds positivity, careful Alf the soothsayers will get you.

16 Feb 2020 22:06:09
bang right there. My thoughts too.

16 Feb 2020 22:35:55
There's been quite a lot of talk on here suggesting we could be drinking in the last chance saloon, so it's good to hear a shout out for the pub of positivity.

16 Feb 2020 22:43:38
Couldn’t agree more Alfonso!

17 Feb 2020 01:31:46
Sounds like a plan.

17 Feb 2020 09:20:13
The pub of positivity.
I like that.

17 Feb 2020 11:21:08

16 Feb 2020 17:59:56

16 Feb 2020 19:10:29
Make mine a Babysham!

16 Feb 2020 20:01:16
Spot on Wigan mate.

16 Feb 2020 20:11:21
I’ll have two.

16 Feb 2020 15:28:10
been busy with show so not seen the highlights of game

aprrently we missed loads but it don't matter when you keep a clean sheet. loved that score line more than i would 5-3 or even 7-2.

one is enough when you don't conceed.

as i say to the mrs keep it tight and the back and we'll get up.

16 Feb 2020 19:08:00
your favourite 😊 KP was awesome BW. has been all season

Keep it up lads.

16 Feb 2020 20:05:14
didnt see game but when kp plays and we keep a clean sheet he must of played well as that is a Dm's job keeping clean sheets. fair play KP.

16 Feb 2020 11:54:44
Just thinking out loud. In view of Manchester City's problems how does a QSI takeover greatly benefit us? If we are sailing close to ffp limits as it is how does having billions really affect our finances if you cannot really spend it.

16 Feb 2020 12:57:29
In the Championship a wealthy owner will not be able to buy a team but they can invest in the infrastructure which would improve revenue and increase the ability to spend it.

16 Feb 2020 20:03:22
If we invest heavily they can afford £50m for the fine and we probably wouldn't be in Europe for 2 years anyway so who cares?

16 Feb 2020 20:45:14
What do you mean by the infrastructure Notts?
I mean how will revenue be increased?
Not having a pop just don’t how that will happen.

16 Feb 2020 07:18:20
Didn’t want to mention the missed chances yesterday, just wanted to focus on the victory.
It is almost inconceivable that we didn’t score 4 or 5 more in that game. It does have a pattern though, goalkeepers pulling off worldy saves when playing us and not to mention the times we hit the woodwork, I reckon that we hit the post or bar once or twice in nearly every game, it is freakish. My point is that I don’t want to blame the players too much although I do believe in making your own luck.
You have to admit, it does happen with a bizarre regularity.

16 Feb 2020 09:34:49
Those two saves, and possibly others were incredible. The one when Costa rounded him, I can’t get my head around! How did he get back so quickly?

16 Feb 2020 10:29:04
well some teams have a good keeper.

16 Feb 2020 15:25:59
this is my point. it don't matter how many you miss if you keep a clean sheet. score just one and keep a clean sheet get three points. keep getting three points and you get promoted.

16 Feb 2020 21:30:36
Or ones that just have blinders against us.

16 Feb 2020 07:39:01
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Football Comparisons 4 - Schmeichel v Van Der Sar v De Gea

15 Feb 2020 23:55:45
Good to see the goalkeepers' union doing their best to take the pressure off Kiko ahead of his hearing. - with Raya gifting us our goal on Tuesday and Rodak being to blame for all three Barnsley goals today!

16 Feb 2020 07:46:35
Clueless pressure? What’s is charged with, whatever he get won’t be life changing so No pressure get real.

16 Feb 2020 08:50:20
Whiteman - my comment was more about the other keepers cocking up than anything else - maybe it's YOU that need to lighten up!

16 Feb 2020 09:48:48
I get your point Clue.
And whitey bud, think there might be some pressure on him with the prospect of being eternally labelled a racist, with potential to affect not just his career, but the well-being of his family, and all associated with him. It might have an impact? 🤔.

16 Feb 2020 10:08:09
Unfortunately, Brighty, labels do stick! Of course its something to worry about!

16 Feb 2020 13:48:21
Worry about, lighten up, think about poor Caroline that pressure, something to really worry about, she lost everything, not just a 3 game ban and a small fine which he can pay out of his pocket. And to you out there that the bloody point being made he has nothing to worry about he will still play football not matter what happen how the hell it can pity him if his game is way over my head,

16 Feb 2020 15:06:32
Don’t know how you can compare Caroline Flack with the Kiko situation? Not remotely connected! Have no idea why this has been left hanging over him for so long! Of course it will affect him!

16 Feb 2020 15:07:44
Whiteman - I realise that the pressure facing Casilla at the momentbis likely to be as nothing compared to the strife that poor Caroline Flack must have been facing before her tragic death - likewise Gary Speed. I hope those responsible for the decision to proceed with prosecution against her have the book thrown at them.

We also do not know most of what goes on in each others lives, and some on here might have faced or be facing very difficult times - I remember George alluded to some stuff going on a while back. I will certainly not bore you with all the s#:+ I have been dealing with, and continue to do so, but suffice to say I've been close to breaking point more than once and may be again shortly - and I really do not need you or anyone else to tell me become acquainted with reality. Reality and I are pretty close acquaintances just now! When you face deep s#:+ in your life, you can either become blinkered to other folk's problems or become more empathetic towards others, even if the stuff that they're dealing with may seem as nothing compared to your own situation. It may be that you are facing problems at the moment, and it's they that have prompted your annoyance at my initial comments. If so, apologies, and I wish you best.

16 Feb 2020 18:05:53
Clueless I agree, I just don’t see that the keeper can have anything that would account for his poor keeping and just don’t see how anyone and say that he has nothing, absolute nothing to worry about even if he lose this case, if I am wrong please tell what he will lose, and as you stated your self are in a situation or may be, but you still doing your job, and posting on this site in the best way you can, all I say he should be doing the same going out to prove he’s the best, but no makes mistake, after mistake and we put it down to his case, and as I said has nothing to lose one way or another. I do wish you the very best in your plight, my post was not intended to point a finger at you it’s in general.

16 Feb 2020 18:10:09
Down south again you miss the point, she had everything and made one mistake lost it all, our keeper made a mistake and has / will not lose anything for it or because of it that the point, so what the hell has he to worry about to be on his mind during a game for him to make mistake.
