    It's a building block of a match-day thread.

    1. local architecture
    2. trolling posts aimed at getting their supporters angry on their messageboards
    3, Prediction outrage
    4. Referee outrage (before and after the game)
    5. MOTD order of play

    #5 is easily resolved by this logic

    N = number of matches
    n = number of 0-0 draws
    P = position

    P = N - n

    Release in what sense? There's no batches held back. I'm not sure they sell the restricted view ones except on really big game days.

    I managed to get two together in the SEJ stand just yesterday. Keep checking the website...I think they add the season ticket returns as and when they get notified.

    You might get lucky!

    Cheers!

    Wasn't sure if they released Season Ticket returns at a certain point in the day but seems they do it as and when received.

    I don't think there will be any complacency in tomorrow's fixture. Our players will be confident and raring to go after our last performance at Wolves and I think Gracia and the team would have learnt a lot from the Bournemouth game. I would go with the same side that started at Wolves and take Mooy out of the game although I wouldn't complain if Gracia opted to go with 2 up front against one of the weaker sides in the division at home.

    Watching the Wolves game - although my view wasnt great - I'd argue we played 4-4-2, it's just Deulofeu was given/created a slightly deeper role as a front man.

    admittedly I was full of beer by kick off it seemed GD was playing deeper. I would say it was a 4411.

    Deulofeu's average position was further up field than Success's.

    I knew Huddersfield were not great but I have just been told that we are the only team they have beat in the league since they played West Brom in February. That's a remarkable record! One thing is for sure it won't be as bad as that day I believe we had 13 first team injuries and suspensions going into that game.

    I am not sure how they play to be honest I don't think I have even watched them once this season but I am hoping they come and have a go at us as and leave us some space to attack.

    We aren't at our best against 10 men behind the ball, hit 'em on the break teams.

    A Doucs banger is overdue.

    Blimey their match preview isn't so much that but more an inhouse argument anout playing budgets etc!

    Let's hope their team is as disunited...

    We aren't and it is.
    Doucs seems to have lost his confidence in front of goal. He tends to take one touch too many or try a pass. (He missed a golden opportunity against Wolves when put through on goal. Credit Moutinho for tracking back and putting in a first class tackle, but Doucoure should have hit it first time). My memory suggests he didn't used to do that.

    Udders won’t know what’s hit them tomorrow when Penaranda is unleashed. Might slap some dosh on at the bookies for a hatrick.

    I’m pretty sure it’s a Gracia directive. Ever since he came in the amount of attempts from Doucs suddenly dropped massively, and has continued to contribute in other ways. It was quite noticeable a behaviour change at the time from when he was trying 2/3 a game.

    They’re due a win. We look favourites on paper. Nailed on away win. I’ll try to limit my frustrations tomorrow.

    With Peneranda and Success, we could potentially be as good as Granada were 2 years ago

    I know in my brain it would still be a massive negative I would wet myself with excitement if Peneranda started tomorrow. I can’t think of anything more uplifting.

    They could pass of anyone as him. Has anyone ever even seen him?

    In which case we could probably program an AI to do all of this for us leaving us all a lot more time
