Thank you, it's much appreciated!

Hopefully this gives you lot a bit of entertainment during the international break - a look ahead to our next league game vs Norwich. Should be a really interesting one, with the league’s top scorer (Sargent) up against the 2nd top scorer (Wright). Norwich have had a mixed start, we’re sitting...

I’m convinced we must have a free agent heading our way. Lampard likes wing play, yet we have no cover or players that can come in and change up the dynamic of the game. It just doesn’t make sense to intentionally go into a season with one of the leanest in the championship.

I'm hoping we have some surprises coming however the lack of journo links to us is slightly worrying (even with DK plugging leaks you'd still hear from agents or other clubs). We have a good starting 11, however our strength in depth is poor. You look at the game vs Oxford... started to look...

Can Sheaf complete a medical?

Sheaf is a quality player. Problem is he’s fragile and injuries set him back, even when he returns fit he still needs 2/3 games to get him back into the swing of things which is understandable. In those games we often saw him giving the ball away with sloppy passes or decision making errors...

Alright, the next stop is Oxford away. After the madness of 5 at Derby and then 7 against QPR, confidence is high (excluding the Millwall result) I’ve put together a full preview looking at both sides: line-ups, tactics, key players and of course a score prediction at the end. Oxford haven’t...

I’m hoping I can cover previews of all league games this season so hopefully I can keep you in the loop!

Just put together a preview for this weekend at the CBS. Quick look at what carries over from Derby, how QPR set up under Julien Stéphan, where we might find joy, and a few players to watch. Prediction is a cautious 2–1 Cov, but keen to hear other views. If you’ve got a few minutes, give it a...

This game felt the opposite of last week where we were in control but not getting a result. I think Lampard will be thrilled with the result but not best pleased with how that played out. That said, historically against physical teams like that where it’s a scrappy game, we’ve been 2nd best. Top...

Hamer… wow

Going for a city win here 2-1. Derby are struggling to create chances (albeit still able to score) I’d expect us to control the game. Simms is well suited to this game, certainly a player to watch. I’ve done an analysis on the game if anyone wants to waste 10 mins…

Selling Rudoni now would be a major disappointment. Key player last season and got better with every game. Unlikely to be a one season wonder with the kind of progression under Lampard. We’ve already started the season and to pull a major player (that you’ve not planned for on replacement) would...

Alright, just finished putting together the preview for Saturday's trip to pride park. An insight into how the game may playout, key players and a final prediction. Currently on 1/1 for results, the prediction this week is an away win I'm hoping it will come through. If you have a spare few...

The lineup will hint a few things… Injuries - if Wright, EMC, Sheaf and Rudoni have knocks/injuries they’re out. Radar players - Simms not getting competitive start for so long. Bassette if he’s off he won’t feature. Can possibly choose the squad from who’s not there? Rushworth KKH, Thomas...
