On the bright side Cullen’s ball playing technique has improved no end. No longer is hel odds on to lose a one to one. More turn and shoot goals on the menu?
Will we get the blues at the Blues?

And Darling finally planted a header on target and away from the keeper

. He should've scored at least 8 goals this season. I think he's missed something like 5 big chances, but that's still better than Liverpool's £80m Darwin Nunez who's missed about 27.

Darling should be worth another 8 goals this season. If we're not going to play him at #9, then we should play him as a defensive midfield player and move Grimes to #10. Having that height and strength in the center of the field would bolster dealing with keeper clearances, he can shoot from distance now and again, he can be a heading threat on set pieces and if he's going make a stupid tackle (as he is prone to do), he's doing it on the half way line instead of in or around our box.

Since Duff, we have harvested 12 points from 24 possible, with 5 out of 8 or 63% of matches away. We are trucking along at 50% points earned - not bad at all with an adverse schedule. Over the course of a full season, this rate would give us 69 points with possible playoff potential. As it is, we're struggling with the over hang of the Duffer era, so if we sustain this rate we should end up with around 62 points, 4 less than the 66 Martin earned. Last season, 69 points and a positive GD would have put us in the playoffs. To reach, say 70 points this season, we need to earn points at a 65% rate. A big ask, but if we maximize the return on the teams below us (currently 8 matches, 6 at home), we could do it if we earn at a 39% from the other 11 matches - easily done if we Win 1, Lose 1.

Dozy linesman and ref should have caught that
I love how this post reads like a "GUESS WHICH ONE OF THESE STATEMENTS IS TRUE" article, and yet they all are.
