    Drama queens

    I've not got iFollow this year so read the match threads here each game. Thoroughly enjoyed switching between our forum and a Derby forum on Tues night: one minute they were praising Rooney's bold selections and many on here were slating Robins's tactics, then Wazza was a clueless idiot and...

    Loan Watch

    Unbelievable. That ref should be sanctioned for letting it go unpunished. Doubt anything can be done regarding the player commiting the challenge as he wasn't booked. More importantly, glad Mason was unscathed.

    International Break

    Pask at least has the pace to recover if he makes a mistake, don't think he would be any worse than Rose at CB at the moment. Rose was excellent last year but seems panicky and lacking confidence at the moment. For me, Ostigard's ability in the air means he is worth keeping in the side currently.

    International Break

    What's going on with Pask? Is he injured or just out of favour?

    Match Thread Nottingham Forest

    So would I... Forest's front line could cause a lot of problems for us. I think a draw would be an ok result too.

    Match Thread Reading

    1-3 defeat tonight I reckon , but I still think will become stronger in this league as the season progresses and that we will stay up.

    Player Ratings

    Shipley reminds me a bit of how John Eustace was for us years ago: gets in good positions through sheer hard work / reading the game well, but then doesn't have the skill to take advantage of them. Still think he is a useful member of the squad even though he had a mare last night.

    Match Thread Middlesbrough

    I know he hasn't played well tonight, but that's a bit harsh! Damn you, Frostie - you've got quicker typing than me!

    Match Thread Middlesbrough

    Don't know guy's name (he is on Goals on Quest and sometimes comments on L1 and L2 action) - Alex? Anyway, his podcast had QPR right down there in pre-season predictions and their fans aren't particularly optimistic this year...

    Ifollow

    Same here. Not happy - forwarded email to [email protected] to prove that subscription was cancelled back in Jan (the email from customer service advisor specifically says that no further payments would be taken in future). I found iFollow to be shambolic from start to finish.

    Council funding for Ricoh Refurb

    Others just beat me to the EU point:)

    Council funding for Ricoh Refurb

    Might be naive of me, but could this affect Sisu's appeal to the EU at all? I doubt it, but what do others think? I doubt it can be taken into account, even though it should...

    Transfer Rumour Matt Godden

    Happy to have signed him. We needed a player up front who can have an impact straight away, rather than potential. We have paid a bit of a premium to land him, but that's the way it goes with strikers. Bet we haven't paid £750k for him though, despite what Fry is claiming... Posh fans have...

    Transfer Rumour Matt Godden

    Would be surprised if we splashed half a million on a player who we'd be unlikely to sell on for a profit in future. Having said that, he's half decent at L1 level. Good in the air, good positional sense. Not the fastest and a bit one-footed though. Posh chairman will probably say that...

    New attacking targets.

    Maybe he would prepared to drop a division to get more game time - wages possibly more of a stumbling block. If he was a loan signing, I wonder how much the parent club would contribute to them? Surprised another Championship side has not signed him already (don't know if he was injured last...

    New attacking targets.

    As a loan signing he'd be good for us - he's decent in the air for a start. At 28 he's probably too old for us to sign permanently in the hope that his value will increase for re-sale though.

    Most stupid comments you expect to hear at games this season

    'He's got the touch of a rapist' Heard that several times at Swindon game - both about their players and ours.

    Bayliss off?

    Am a bit taken aback by doom and gloom on here... Bit of an over-reaction to missing out on Tyler Walker. MR has a half decent record at recruiting strikers (both in his 1st and current spell). He will get someone genuinely useful in by end of August I'm sure. As for Bayliss, I'm surprised...

    Tyler Walker deal done???

    Unlike some on here, I think this is more about bad luck (i.e. Forest's change of manager) than bad handling on our part. I think MR and Chris Badlan will have other strikers in mind. Not that worried if we get someone in for Saturday or not - but we certainly need someone in before end of August.
