Is the season going to finish? (ed. Pg.53 - 3 players not returned to training)

We've got to win on Saturday otherwise I think we are doomed

Interesting situation with Barnsley refusing to extend the loan to a rival.

Im surprised Man Utd have allowed Dean Henderson to complete his loan @ Sheffield United

Be awkward if Sheff Utd finish above them!!

In Barnsley's case I wonder if they'll play Wilks themselves when he returns (or whether they're allowed)...

Was always odd when they loaned him out in the first place - I guess Hull were chasing the Play-Offs before they nose dived

Barnsley won't be allowed to play Wilks, but will want Hull to get as few points as possible as there's a small chance they could catch them

Barnsley wouldn't play Wilks even if they could. He's an excellent player but reportedly an absolute tool. Apparently he had a big falling out at Barnsley that wasn't well publicised and he didn't play under their current manager. He'd never get back in their team but they'd be crazy to let Hull keep him given the fact they need Hull to drop as many points as possible.

It's going to a very different Hull side to the one we expected to play on the 14th March.

They've lost their best 2 players who were so influential in nicking a point in the 2-2 draw at The Valley - but I would take nothing for granted. They're on their own patch and won't just roll over.

Remember, it's like the start of a new season. The old form book goes out of the window.

COYR!

Well that Hull side has just got very different

Eric Lichaj | Jackson Irvine | Stephen Kingsley and surprise surprise: Marcus Maddison have refused to play any remaining games

Mallik Wilks on the other hand will only play in the first two games, understandably its Barnsley who have been reluctant to extend that deal

Maddison really seems a bad egg...

Its going to be an interesting summer for him

He's really shown that he only thinks about himself and he's not really had an opportunity to show the Championship what he can achieve

I'll be curious to see where he ends up

Sunderland? 

Suspect that they might offer him a way home to the north east. 

They will be desperate to escape L1 now and he is an outstanding player at that level   
So pleased we never got him.

Not much of a step forward from Peterborough though is it - Could see it being a very sideways step for him unless a lower Championship side or team promoted from League One offer him what he wants

Does anyone know if there will be an announcement on contracts from Charlton like Hull have done? Of course we know Taylor, Solly and Davis won't be playing at all and the club announced Cullen's extended his deal. But they've kept quiet on everyone else so far so I'm assuming we're due an announcement about all other players who's contracts expire on the 30th and whether they've signed an extension to the end of the season like Cullen has?

Didn't realize we had an option for another year with JFC. Still think he's a player worth keeping. Very technically gifted and contrary to what Leuth says, a good athlete. On his day he's our most creative 6/8. 

Desperately hope we lock down Sarr, Matthews, and Morgan. All three have enough to get two year deals in my opinion, and either are champo players (Sarr, Matthews) or have the potential to be (Morgan). Worried that Morgan will leave for a compensation fee to play regularly in League One. He's definitely good enough to play in that division, especially in a side where he doesn't have to do as much defending.

We know Taylor is leaving. Hemed is playing for a contract. Page, maybe pay as you play? Especially if we go down. 

It's at this point in writing this that I remembered that we have an owner with completely unclear intent so the idea of us tying down players to longer term deals seems silly now. 

8 positive tests from 6 Championship clubs in the latest round of testing.

Brentford so far the only club to have announced they have 1 positive test.

Worrying that the number is going up the closer we get to the season restarting. Let's hope we smash Hull and they cancel the season after that

Where the hell are they catching it?

You'd think that if all tested negative last week anyone who now tests positive should be able to tell who they have been in contact with and trace them. However, I would have thought that they are should have practically been in lockdown so the chances of catching it are minimised.

Konsa starts tonight against Sheff Utd

Strange Aston Villa line up - Reina on the bench, Keinan Davis starts up front

Macclesfield stay up after only getting a TWO point deduction, so Stevenage go down instead

So what was the decision to give just a two point deduction

The EFL really do make it up as they go along

I guess four points would have relegated Macclesfield

Makes you think that we shouldn't rely on Sheffield Wednesday or Derby being given enough of a deduction to relegate them instead of us if it came down to it

EFL clearly dont have the balls to be the ones to relegate a side on a points deductio
