    So when will our first clean sheet be?

    I could only set a poll up to the end of March.

    The winner wins a signed jock strap from the cycling GK and a lifetime subscription to his YouTube channel.

    Claudio is savvy using this as motivation to buy the squad dinner. No chance he loses that money

    Only clean sheet this defense can expect is when they change it at home, generally after wetting it after the previous result.

    FA Cup Third Round at home to Rochdale. It'll be a tight 0-0 with them missing a penalty.

    I've not seen next season's Championship fixtures yet, so can't possibly predict.

    It would be interesting to know the record for the least number of clean sheets a team that has survived in the top flight has kept, going back to 1973/74 when the number of relegation places was increased from two to three.

    Is this the alternate reality where we didn’t bring back QSF two years ago?

    January when Ranieri signs a couple of centrebacks from Italy.

    Norwich is the only side I can see the current defence having any chance of surviving and I am not exaggerating

    Plot twist...the pandemic was engineered by the New World Order who just happen to be L*ton fans and wanted to nip our mid-season revival in the bud

    Looking at that fixture list just shows what an easy set of home matches the fat whelk had, and the useless teat squandered almost all of them.

    Realistically, if we have any chance whatsoever this side of the January window, you'd probably have to say it's against a Toney and Canos-less Brentford.

    I'd probably put that chance at considerably lower than 50%, though, still.

    If it was at home I'd agree, but away we're gash.

    But never mind a clean sheet, I think we are going to lose, sadly.

    I don't think being away makes it any less likely, because it's still the likeliest fixture-wise - it just makes it even more unlikely than it still was to begin with. If we lose we are down, guaranteed. It's that simple. Season over.

    End of.

    Brentford is definitely our best chance until we play Newcastle then Norwich.

    Just seen that Toney might not be playing for Brentford on Friday so I now think this game might well be our 1st clean sheet of the season :cool:

    For motivation the beds at the team hotels should be fitted with dirty sheets until we get a clean sheet. By the end of the season the sheets will be crusty.

    Congrats to the 6 of you who predicted Burnley away, little did you know the game wouldn’t actually take place until February.

    Pairs of the Cycling GKs soiled jockstraps currently winging their way to you in the post.
