What do you make of Amad Diallo's reaction on twitter to missing out on EFL young player of the year? Refreshing use of social media (i.e. something useful other than "we go again") or just downright disrespectful to a fellow pro? Also, who would have got your vote?

How do you assess rookie managers in the EFL this year? For every Kieran McKenna & Michael Carrick, there are more rookie managers who end up struggling (Kevin Betsy, Mark Fotheringham, even Duncan Ferguson).

Do you feel it's a risk worth taking for an EFL Chairman to appoint a first-time manager?

Rotherham have Grant Hall, Tyler Blackett, Richard Wood and Sean Morrison on the books at the minute, due to various injuries, and all are set to be available on frees next season. If you were Matt Taylor, who would you be looking to bring back, if any?

If you have pick to pick one fan experience out of (a) Burnley's brilliant title tilt, and (b) Sheffield United fending off those below to hold second spot + an FA Cup run and Semi Final, which would it be?

If you're looking for all-time strike forces, how about Rhodes and Gestede at Blackburn a few years back for a left field suggestion. Both topped 20 goals in 2014-15 and Rovers still didn't make the playoffs!

Q: Albie Morgan is a player who splits the CAFC fan base. Out of contract this summer. One of the better passing ranges in the division but can lack consistency, what should CAFC do? And what could you see Morgan’s future looking like if he is released?

Simple question - see if you have the metal to put it out there - who makes the championship playoffs, who plays in the final - and who gets that third promotion slot?

We have the gumption, but do we have the time? It might be the case that we pick up the next mailbag with the play-off picture sewn up. But we'll definitely give you our answer on the final/winners.

Thanks for answering my question re Wrexham & Notts County! I agree, would be exciting to see how they would do, but as you say one isn’t guaranteed to go up which is nuts!

Top stuff lads.

With awards season there or thereabouts could you pick your top 5? 10? players from across the EFL whose performances were great but whose seasons have been cut short? The players of the season who didn't finish the season

Another brilliant newsletter!!! Now time to think of a question...

A thinly veiled Luton vs Boro question but would you prefer to be backing a team who are solid defensively, careful in possession but not free scoring or a team who take risks, can defend fast and loose but have the ability to score goals at will? I always lean towards defensive solidity, attackers win matches defences win trophies!!!

Thanks PP. To prefer the solid to the free-flowing, eh? We'll get back to you!

I know this isn’t NTT20 specific but I tend to think back to Fergie’s Man U vs Keegan’s Toon Army.

Assume Sunderland are still in the Championship next season (likely) and Ross Stewart is fully fit for the first match (we'll see). Which EFL strikers should Sunderland look at as a rotation option/partner for Stewart?

Ooh. Big question. We'll likely have an answer to the 'if' part by the time we respond.
