Lochlan: After realising that George may not have a bias against Reading I would like to know who he thinks would be the best manager to appoint with our current situation. James: Sunderland managerial candidates, how many do you consider an upgrade on Ross? And which ones might actually get #safc playing the attacking football our squad should be capable of? Peter: Larsson Tyler: Top 3 managers in each division? Dan: L1/L2 players who'd be decent punts for Premier League sides? Also - Michael: Who's the player that people who don't know know about the lower divisions should know about? Neil: I was wondering now we are part way through the season if you could amend you pre-season promotion predictions for each division, which ones would you change & to which club? PompeyinUganda: 1 player from each division that you thought would have big seasons but have gone missing? I’m still trying to find out what Pompey have done with ‘natural goalscorer’ John Marquis Peter: Given the analytics surrounding Nottingham Forest and the suggestion of over performance how significant are the less measurable areas of the game - team cohesion, organisation, desire, being well briefed etc - and for how long can they realistically cover up any deficiencies? Joe: should play-offs (or lower of course) be considered a failure by Fulham if we weren’t to finish in the top 2? Bluericard0: Has @BCFC ’s rebuilding over the summer been productive? Chuck: Have Peterborough got a magical algorithm they give to strikers to turn them all into goal machines?? Goal Factory. Max: The League One table since Graham Coughlan took over sees Rovers at 2nd. Do Rovers need to adapt in January to be less of a “smash and grab” team if they are to challenge for promotion, or should it be business as usual so long as it continues to produce results? Freddie: After #Pompey poor start to the season, what does the team have to do to improve performances. What tactical changes would make the team better, and/or, should Kenny Jackett be sacked and replaced with a different manager? Will: Can you see Kenny Jackett surviving? Also after Pompey being your number 1 tips this season, where has it all gone wrong? Clarke and Lowe? Or is it something else? Liam: Bit of a playful question - which team in each division would your bet your house on not going either up or down - the most mid table team in all 3 leagues? David: Which manager would win a Royal Rumble in each of the EFL leagues? SqueezeEast: if all 72 managers (ish) were in a Royal Rumble at the moment who is eliminated next? also, would you rather deal with one hippo sized rabbit or 5 rabbit sized hippos? 3peasinapodcast: What do you hate most about the first 30 minutes from when you open your eyes in the morning? Harvey: How natural did you find the transition from mates on a podcast to appearing on national TV and what are your fondest memories since starting the pod? Keep up the great work lads!
